I would love it.
Original TR did things like this - have unexpected things happening. Time travel could be one of them. What would be even greater is if instead of giving us conventionally believed history is that Lara could go back somewhere and have it be different. I believe that our history is different from what we know the further back we go. Look at the antikythera mechanism for instance. Who'd have thought before it was discovered that such an object existed in ancient Greece? Nobody according to conventional thoughts on history. There is no place for such technology in our history books and that's just one example. I would like Lara to go back to somewhere - just one place - and discover anomalies within it. But of course that would take a tremendous amount of research and thought put into the whole design of the game and although I think a tremendous amount of research and thought does go into developing the TR, I don't think it is in that particular area - ie, imaginative twists based on genuine real life research, mysteries and theories about the past. I'd also like to see Lara have to deal genuinely with people who know nothing of our world, our languages and customs. People of ancient times who are living a life outside our sphere of understanding also. Then let's see how she communicates and deals with the natives. Instead of another predictable love-in with the "good" native community, let's take a realistic look at how they'd respond to someone with fantastic weapons such as guns (I'm begging you, Crystal, give up the bow) and modern dress and hair, someone who doesn't fit in culturally. So yeah, count me in. Alternatively........ aliens is another angle I'd go for. Not in the same game though, one or the other. --- Edit: Also, I wouldn't have it for the entire game, just one section, possibly a quarter or third of the game. I also think that if they did it well and not just another place of mindless collecting of items and the packed open-world style of say, Assassins Creed, which I actually find quite bland as an experience even though the graphics look great, I think they could make it a massive hit. But it would have to be a really well thought out experience. Last edited by Blackmoor; 03-11-19 at 02:43. |

Yes! I would love to see them explore time travel for a game, and I think it’d be fun if executed right. It was neat seeing them toy with it a little in Legend, and I’d love to see it all fleshed out and explored.
Seeing something like other dimensions a la TR2 would be really cool as well. I feel like we were kind of robbed of that in Underworld with the whole Avalon idea. |

I'd rather not have time traveling but if it was DLC or a Chronicles style game with 4 seperate stories with Lara Croft in different time eras, where there is no canon or connection, I'd like that.

I've always thought the "main character travels back in time" trope quite silly, so that's a hard no for me.
Paititi is here to show us that you don't need over the top plot points to make Lara visit a prosperous, stopped in time civilization. |

That sounds like a premise for a different franchise.

In before someone says, "YES! YES! This time, we can actually go to Avalon and not that Norse nonsense we got!!!!"
