Fanmade, main menu wasn't finished by cancellation.

[Caesum]

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.

I didn't know about the BF II mod, but I don't think that it will be possible to recreate such things as the ground to space battles in the old engine. Even without the Star Wars look I'll play Galaxy in Turmoil since I loved the gameplay or the original BF II. And I guess that there are people who are okay with just being able to play a game made with certain assets from a cancelled game, even if it's made in an old engine, but I'd rather play the cancelled game regardless of the used assets. A lot of famous games started development as sequels to other games and then got a different theme so that they're only spiritual sequels. And I want to play the TRAE for the level design and gameplay ideas and not because it just has classic Lara in it. A few days ago I started playing Project Eden which was made by the team at Core that made TR I and II. And despite the futuristic setting and the ability (and necessity) to play with four different characters at the same time the game has a far more tomb raider-y feeling than the whole LAU trilogy.

They found out how to achieve near-seamless ground-to-space in Battlefront 2 a couple of years ago, before Battlefront III even leaked. Heck, this method even works in the first game (I've tried it out myself).
