This is what I was thinking. No matter if CD try to do a 'classic' style game, it would be very hard to satisfy the fanbase's expectations. Lara wouldn't be right, gameplay wouldn't be right. LAU was supposedly CD's take on classic Lara and while there are more positive views now, there was also a lot of negativity at the time. And even taking into account the cycle of C-L-S timelines, changes still need to happen because apparently with TR the devs have to reinvent the wheel every two games, otherwise they're accused of being stale.
