There was the chance to build something unique and get to a very well built Lara after a recovery from PTSD (I know what I am talking about, there are the bases), but in Rise she must be defined as destroyed and mentally torn, to start a recovery process. It is incredible that in a year or so she is perfectly fine, that trown back to situations that are very similar to Yamatai she gets nothing: no nightmares, no vivid dreams... it is unbelievable. Nevertheless, after that, the 3rd game could have been the recovery and we could still have Lara perfectly fitted for adventures, but with a solid personality. I do know that it would be unacceptable that a character that bears the heritage of Lara Croft could be vulnerable but the one we see at the start of Survivor timeline is vulnerable and even weak. A strong person can be built from a vulnerable character, but there must be a phase of weakness that I never saw |

None of the above. I don't want another reboot. I certainly don't want the franchise to go back to its roots either (sue me). But I also don't want the franchise to carry on in it's current state. I grew very fond of reboot Lara despite how often I criticize her games; I would hate to see her go.
In my personal opinion, the franchise should take a breather. It should have a long and healthy development cycle (4 to 5 years) that produces a game WITHOUT reused assets from 2008. The developers should take their time to REALLY think about what they can do to revitalize the franchise. To me, "make it more classic" isn't the solution. Those games already exist. I want something new and interesting and never seen before in the franchise. Like Portugalraider often says, they should embrace a metroidvania type of gameplay. Have exploration play a key role in the game. I don't mean picking up collectables off the ground. I mean REAL exploration. Finding hidden paths. Traversing new areas and problem solving that involves path finding and backtracking. But they should also mix that with new mechanics. I think combat should play a key role in the game. Have boss fights play a major role in the game. Maybe actively seek out bosses that protect artefacts or tomb entrances. ..... On another note, I will be completely terrified if we get a game after only 2 or 3 years. It will signal that the next game is nothing but a cash grab that barely took any effort. Look at games like the new God Of War or MK11 or RDR2. Those are developers that took their time to create something great and special. Tomb Raider has always been a victim of staleness. The classics became stale and people stopped caring. LAU became stale and people stopped caring. Reboot became stale and people stopped caring. I put it on bold because I think it's important |

Combine the best parts of every TR games together and make a ultimate game.
1.Eploration,environments,vehicles,booby traps and puzzles of the original ones. 2.Swimming of the TR Underworld.(Imo it's better than the Core design ones) 3.Camera movements and gunfights of the new ones. 4.And expand and improve every one of them. |

I think a hybrid would be the most realistic, proper lore evolution and comprimisable concept for fans on both sides in the franchise. Considering how._diverse peoples interpretation of Lara are. Plus a hybrid would be good for the general public and a way to gently change the 'mental image' of what the first thing people think of when they hear Tomb Raider.

Another Reboot would be nice, see another take on the character.
Maybe a reboot where she's like 40, after playing her so young it could be nice to play an older character ! |
