Lara Croft Go is a mobile game, it's not a console game. LC GO is anecdotic at best. I mean it's a very good mobile game but that's it. The last real game we had was released five years ago with TOO. It didn't do that well, and that's why we didn't had any new one yet. Just like the only reason we got TOO is because GOL did awesome and they wanted to recreate that. Don't get me wrong that's great but the LC franchise is a struggling one, one wrong step and it's on hold.

If we think about it, TOO didn't do well or as much as expected (for whatever reason) and then we got mobile games that did really awesome. I wouldn't be surprised if their plan is that for now the LC franchise will only be a mobile game franchise since they cost a lot less and sold much better than the last console game.

And I'm not crying over it at all, just saying that it's not a good sign to get only that mobile slot machine game 4 years after GO came out. They're not even trying anymore, at least with relic run and GO they did try to deliver something that matches the original concept and that was good looking and good gameplay.

@Nigel Cassidy: Yes I didn't thought about Commandos, there's Crash too. But Crash right now is cashing over nostalgia. We have yet to see if the GP will support an entire new game with that formula.

And yes, mission accomplished, they know that us fans are very interrested in a new LC game, and I think that it's important that they know that, it's great. But I think we won't get anything until the GP shows a lot of interrest into this franchise again.

Are you trying to say that LC GO is as much a console game as Legend or Anniversary are ? If so, you're def reaching on this one.
You know very well that it was developped for mobile phones and then ported to PS4 because it was doing well. But yay let's port Relic Run to PS4 and call it a console game too... Or even better, let's actually release "Temple and Tombs" on PS4 and call it a console game. It makes so much sense.

nigel: actually i think a classic lara slot machine means they know this lara is still wanted and is popular in pop culture

me: also this is the third tomb raider slots game

you: they are literally KILLING tomb raider RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES. they are MURDERING HER. someone call 911

I did not sound that dramatic lol

But yeah of course they're not killing her and they are very interrested in her as long as she brings cash no matter how... Just saying that having only this slot machine thing after "so long" is not very a good sign for the franchise. And I took the exemple of Silent Hill because that's what happened with this franchise. No game for "a long time" and then a slot machine and then nothing... So... It's concerning to see something similar beginning to happen to classic Lara. But maybe I'm wrong and next year we will get an AAA game with classic Lara who knows ?

Nigel mentioned old franchise being revived and he has a point, we just have to wait and see what will happen... if anything happens...

And by the way, please if you answer this one, write a real message that make the conversation progress, throwing links and writing silly scripts doesn't add anything to the conversation, really...

I kinda wish the next TR game would be made by JJ Abrams, he would probably misunderstand a few things about Tomb Raider and Lara Croft and he doesn't have a creative bone in his body, but he is the king of harkening back to the past to please nostalgic fans.

I agree !

There are already pieces of the past and classics in the new games, just not the pieces that some of you are looking for. Though if the whole of Tomb Raider were satisfied by a Tomb-Raider-Driven perspective, then the whole of Tomb Raider fans would be satisfied.
