Yup, it will continue for sure.
I've read they've hinted they'd make standalone adventures after the origin trilogy was over, so that's what I'm mostly expecting (I don't mind trilogies either, but seeing so many people in here against it, I'm also fine with standalone adventures, as long as they're big, and complete). I expect the next game to be a soft-reboot, in regards to the gameplay mechanics. As someone suggested above, I also expect them taking Lara on a lighter attittude, in the likes of the Comics side of her. Them ditching the work they went through with the reboot is 100% unrealistic IMO. IF they resort to desperate measures to bring attention, at most they'll make a personality transplant, and make Lara act ouf of character of her reboot persona, and resort to sex appeal to sell - I hope it doesn't go the point of they resorting to the easy way out |

I'm quite sure something has changed in their minds since then (yeah yeah, I know more recently they said they were happy and all, but ehi did you expect to see them cry during the promotion tour of the DLCs?)... but I agree, like it or not, reboot will continue at full force: At the end of the day , it's easier to make a better game than Shadow and still retain the big casual audience than risk the hardcore route and make a game most people might not even BEAT. |

Yes they will continue with Lara reboot, you don't make three game about a version of the character to be ditched just because some peoples are asking for one iteration of the character to comeback.

LAU trilogy wasn't a fresh start. It was clear from the beginning that they were hindered by the previous games, and were forced to make something similar/familiar, but making it fresh and modern. They, themselves have said they were somewhat uninspired while making LAU, which is why they've started thinking on a complete, fresh reboot even before Underworld was released.
I adore LAU to death (those are the TR games I've replayed the most), but it's pretty clear that those games were uninspired and lacking depth and especially direction. Last edited by Vaskito; 23-09-19 at 11:22. |

I'd rather they didn't continue. But they probably will sadly.

I think they'll continue with the reboots but I think they'll significantly re-jig things.
Things that will stay the same or same-ish will probably be: -the general backstory for Lara -presence of Trinity in the TR universe But I think they will almost definitely: -recast the voice for Lara -tweak the personality a bit (although they are kind of boxed in a bit by how they've portrayed her so far) -redesign her character model I also think there is a good chance that they will reconsider the gameplay. The reboots formula was developed before 2013 and games have moved on a bit since then. It would make sense for them to reconsider what current trends and brand leaders (especially) are up to and adjust a bit for that. Whatever they release next will take them through the next gen consoles era. I cannot see them releasing a sequel that isn't an update in some way. |
