Core Design's Tomb Raider Anniversary Edition - Media & Discussion

The thing is that it won't even have any negative impact, after all it's not Square that cancelled the project, so they can't be taken for responsible as they weren't there, so if they give their green light there would be no real reason that it hurts their image: it would do the exact opposite, they would seem to care about the fanbase at least.

Oops, I didn't even know this word. Thanks for the correction.

When Square took over Eidos, they took over most of its employees, as well. So many of the people now working for Square Europe already worked for Eidos back in the day.

Fanmade, main menu wasn't finished by cancellation.

According to leaked TRAE materials Croft Manor would have worked as a menu, so this one is definitely fake.

I hope everything is clear now

What we can hope for is that Square doesn't care about the game or its assets, so if the ex-core members leak it, Square just ignores it.

This could work. TRAE could be finished by fans in a similar way to how the original Star Wars: Battlefront III gets finished by Battlefront fans. When BF III got cancelled, the project files were given to the fans who attempted to finish the game. When they got trouble from Lucasfilms, Disney and EA, these fans changed the assets so that the game didn't have any resemblance with a Star Wars game and the name has been changed to Galaxy in Turmoil: http://store.steampowered.com/app/48...xy_in_Turmoil/

Here's an article about it: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news...from-Lucasfilm

The former Core employees could give their TRAE assets to the TR community and the fans could finish the game, maybe in a more modern engine like UE4, Unity or CryEngine. And seeing how fair Square Enix treats other fan projects like the UE4 TR II remake, maybe they would be okay with a fan version of TRAE. And if not, we could change the assets so that it wouldn't look like a TR game and instead create an original action adventure, maybe with some of Core's earlier concepts (I really want to see a more anarchic and mean version of Core Lara like the first version Toby Gard had in mind ).

The reason they got in trouble for it was because they decided to recreate everything from scratch.

There is another team using those same assets to rebuild the game in the older SWBF2 engine and they have gone unmolested because it's a mod made with official mod tools and not a from-scratch build.
