The LC series was just classic-skinned, there was nothing classic about the gameplay or even Lara's personality. She was LAU Lara with classic Lara's outfit.
CD has never made anything faithful to classic TR or Lara Croft for that matter. LAU was a little closer, but they turned her into a Barbie doll basically. TR needs in new hands for sure, or at least the current hands need to rethink everything they thought they knew about Tomb Raider and bring a team of fans from TRF to consult with.

Oh god so much of this. The mechanics were ALWAYS there y'all, they are professional game developers. If they could make it work in LAU in PS2 what limited them in the PS3/PS4? This is just frustrating and disappointing. What a shame, on them, of course.

I'd rather a smaller company make something worth the name "Tomb Raider" that has a lower budget but knows it's target audience, rather than trying to please everyone. Just because it has a lower budget doesn't mean it will sell badly, it could do extremely well especially if it plays the nostalgia card, given we haven't had a Tomb Raider game with it's original design since 2003. |

I remember back in 2014 or 2015, there was a thread (I think it was in Eidos Forums) with the title : "Rise is XBOX exclusive. Time to boycott Temple of Osiris". Sadly, the non guilty games are the ones that pay for the stupidity of other games.

Pretty sure the exclusivity deal was the one that dug their grave and not a "boycott" thread.

“You want a cookie? Okay, here you go” “But... it’s a fudge striped cookie, not a Chips Ahoy!” Of course, I’m not saying this is how people act about it, but I do feel like this state-of-mind comes off as a bit entitled. You want this one thing and the person gives it to you, but since it isn’t exactly like what you wanted it, down to a T, you get peeved off. Obviously, I think the main games do seriously need to come closer and closer to the source material, but I feel that will only ever happen so much. In a spin-off, they can eat their heart out and make the game older fans have wanted for so long. |

I am quite jealous of franchises like Mario that have stuck to their concept throughout the years and fans are still very much enjoying the new games that get released all the time! Whereas Lara/Tomb Raider is stuck in this half Uncharted half Horizon Zero Dawn concept that has spoilt it for me. |

And as for the LC series: yeah it's not perfect, but beggars can't be choosers... |

Also, I don't understand people saying they miss old school TR gameplay when there are tons and tons of great TRLE levels out there (and I've downloaded countless levels myself). I know classic fans want to see classic TR gameplay to return in the main series, but at least there is something. LAU has nothing except for 3 games and 2 spinoffs that don't really have the same gameplay. |

It’s a mixed bag, really. I think a spin-off would work better now in some ways, at least if people are still going to complain about a bigger focus on puzzle and exploration, but it also may not be necessary, if such a game was well received as Breath of the Wild. |
