Remake of two? (Purely speculation) - Page 3

The best clue is that, just like we construct new people in our dreams, Jonah changes significantly from one game to the other. That's the ultimate proof that not even Lara knows what he looks like, hence she invented him.

He went from Asian to Black to then Latino and Asian in less than a decade LOL

It would to someone that has already been through the rabbit hole. As in created their own money flow with computer work. Play Tomb Raider again, and try to understand how Larsen is kicked. That too is symbolic. And who that head structure in Tomb Raider Chronicles.

That rabbit hole did not disappoint.

The drama. So I quote an Egyptian deity with the head of an Ibis. Djehuty. Or the Greek name: Hermes Trismegistus.

Quote:

"Birth is not the beginning of life - only of an individual awareness. Change into another state is not death - only the ending of this awareness.” “No eyes will raise to heaven. The pure will be thought insane, and the impure will be honoured as wise."

Or just, maybe, simply, goodluck.

I would like to know more about that.

Another thing,

Reboot era is the demolition of Classic Lara and LAU Lara. Unification Lara is Erected. Remind you of anything?

All you. <--- love letter.

I'm flattered, but I was thinking more of a symbolism of 9/11. Like Classic and LAU Lara are the towers and Reboot Lara is the plane. Then Unification is the new tower they built that's just one unified tower. idk, something like that. I think there's something like that in back to the future. Maybe the series is shifting timelines lol. If the game goes meta and references all of the timelines and the big mechanism at play, breaking the 4th wall but not breaking the fourth wall because it still has reasons within the game's cannon, like portal tech opening up multiple Raider-verses, where classic Lara, LAU Lara, and reboot Lara converge at the end supernaturally into one spirit like a trinity, and Trinity doesn't kill her because she's the key to superpowering 3 peoples life experiences into one person. And whoever plays Unified Lara can remember adventures from all 3 timelines but is a composited 4th coming of the character. I think this can also be a transhumanism reference where one day, multiple lifetimes can be uploaded into a neurolink. You may be able to become a composite of all of your ancestors memories stored in you DNA like assassins creed hints at. Wild times we're living in.

The timeline unification can be this big huge lightning moment like the lightning storm on the TR V European cover. With some Other dimension opening up on top of a pyramid and all 3 portals open up and all laras walk out into the same capstone pyramid top platform in a unification ceremony reboot lara does with an artifact. On like the step-pyramid in the TR movie and same one almost on the Shadow cover. I want this to be unlike any mythology they ever uncovered, have they ever done Babylonian?

This is how you do a remake, just remix everything and go wild with the lore. Make everything escalated. Boom, watch this: Each level should have a secret Portal Tombs into the floating islands of different kinds. Like there's a wooden door and its this creepy rabbit hole into a mindbending mythological world. Just incorporate that floating platform explanation into an expansion of it. Like whatever created the TR2 floating islands reflected off a portal mirror into multiple new dimensions. So in every portal tomb, (not to be confused with challenge tombs) there's a super hidden rabbit hole door latch to a different dream like world you jump into where the boundaries between magic and reality are more blurred. I think this was always a big part of the early games with the visions she would have. A major trope was an idol taking her on a psychadelic trip. The TR4 movie poster was a throwback to this too, and it happened in the game. and in TR1. The portal tech in LAU can be used to give the game a wild sense of mythological and science fiction variety.

I think the reboot was just stalling while they plan the big return of all things iconic. Done in a tasteful but worthy way. I wasn't a fan of how TR underplayed the iconography the personality or the supernatural element, but I think that was just a wink that it's going to come back, like the backpack being recovered fro the rubble at the end of TRV, another trope. When you step back, it's in a great position right now to get a buxom actress and do a real action movie game. I bet you they go with Wednesday Adams. I wouldn't be mad but if they keep the budget low they can find the next star and risk it on a no name. This should be in the movie thread.

TR needs to go crazy with all the old elements. A whole horde of those tomb bulls running and you have to run from them up a ramp that turns, with pillars and a ledge and jumps. And there's dim spots of scare sunlight. Kinda like the lucose commercial. A crazy ass Egyptian level with everything they have, make the entire 4 level arch it's own nuts mummy movie. With all the classic aspects of egypt and even redo 4 egypt levels really good. Then go to a different location and make another movie. Each 4 level arc should feel like a whole comic book arc almost. And then the manor is it's own hbo miniseries where the story progresses as you complete worlds and uncover happenings and have war room meetings with your team. Please don't use **** tier reboot characters anymore. Bring back everyone else and mix them with new characters that fit in with your coolests old characters. Whose cool... Anaya, Amanda, Curtis Chase, Janice, Pierre, Larson, Jean Yves. Do the TR3 world option like the other thread said, but PLEASE use the azimuthal equidistant map, just for fun, or at least have the option. That's what pilots use. a 3D terrain map with cool ui like high tech computer style for the ui but the map be a real terrain model of a flat earth. too much to ask? Anywhere you could map out your adventure, and at the beginning of your adventure you can chose the order of locations, and you can change it up at any time. But it adds flights to your itinerary. more on that in anther thread.

Just to clarify, the love letter is from the person who wrote the actual quotation, that would become apparent once you've understood in your own way what was written.

The inspiration always has been an Alice, like the Alice in wonderland. I think partially because it is believed to be of a higher level of intelligence once you've accepted that technology.

But all I see is how they can enforce control or obedience with technology. This adds nothing to one person's existence on the planet, as the technology probably did more damage than that there was there before the technology was applied.

You must resist. Understand?
