Yeah, but what's a ''tomb raider'' anyway and how do you know exactly when you're going from not being one to actually being one?

I think the most realistic answer here is that to Crystal D Tomb Raider = Lara Croft. The trilogy games could have just as easily be named Lara Croft, The Rise or Lara Croft etc.
So she's basically supposed to become the legend Lara Croft. That's gonna take more than one game I'd say.

A 14 year old "naughty" girl in shorts, going around in roller blades... Finally, the pedo fans of the TR5 teenage Lara scene will have new content to enjoy

I'm genuinely surprised Suli isn't all over this right now, demanding this thread to be deleted from existence

I first saw this thread and just took a glance at the OP and thought it was the usual foolery, didn't knew there was extra foolery.

Lemme read carefully and determine who's being a fool and deal with them accordingly.

Mikky why do you feed the troll? This is a forum for discussing Tomb Raider, not a petting zoo.

More importantly, the thread is OPs vision of how she would want the origin story of Lara to be in the next installment. Albeit a new reboot/origin story is unrealistic at this point it is still a topic OP has put thought into and is deserving of not turning into yet another drama playground for the usual TRF suspects. We already have enough of those. Thanks.

Thanks but.. no. No more mother/father. No more family. Since 2006 with matters of father or mother ... I would rather die than more games like that.

They should resume the old biography with Lara being disinherited by her family for fulfilling her dreams. We don't want any more family issues.

TR is Lara Croft, loneliness, tombs ... stop trying to turn TR into Uncharted or another saga that is not TR. f I want to play Uncharted I choose Uncharted, if I want to play GoW I choose GoW ... but if I buy TR it is because I want to play TR not a clone of other games!

All the marketing was a mess, considering Rise was marketed as "Lara's first adventure as a Tomb Raider".

No. I’m probably one of the biggest reboot era fans out there and even I want the origin story stuff over with.

I have an idea. How about this:
Lara goes alone in a new adventure where she spends hours exploring tombs, doesn't meet any tribe, doesn't help anyone defeat bad guys, she is not forced to wear any ugly outfit, she can use all her weapons anywhere, can draw her bow anywhere, she doesn't stumble on people in big cities, she doesn't have to save anyone, doesn't witness anyone death that was barely introduced that no one cares about.Has shorts and dual pistols.
Sounds better doesn't it.?

Right?? But she did that in 2013? I was so hyped after the ending of TR2013 when she said "I'm not going home" and she felt like she was leaning into classic vibes, with her dual pistols etc., but then she kinda just... didn't. The end of SOTTR was underwhelming because they promised that she was "becoming the tomb raider" but there wasn't really a moment that stood out to me, other than her coming out of the water and murdering everyone, but that didn't feel like her becoming that tomb raider. That just felt like Lara becoming the psychopath she's been for 3 games.

I love the reboot games, don't get me wrong, but the way they were marketed was trash and consequently the games didn't live up to the hype.

Anyway, yeah, I'd prefer no more origin stories for Lara. Let her be the damn tomb raider already.
