Didn't they say they'd be adding more heroes in the future?

In all fairness, it could have been a lot worse. Like Disney's Star Wars films who are blatantly insulting the George Lucas trilogy and the characters in it. TR's reboot just ignores the old games...

Exactly. I'd understand frustrations if, like I said my posts, they've picked up on classic Lara and changed her instead. At least they had the decency of leaving her untouched in her prime form, and created a separate new version instead. I think both parties win.
Just as I hope once they're done with reboot Lara, they leave her alone, and create a new version, instead of making a personality transplant and change her to back to the monotone type of character of the past

If Crystal Dynamics (or whoever) had an appreciation for Tomb Raider then we would not be here talking about this. There is nothing to be confused about. Know your history I guess. But of course many here do not have an appreciation for Tomb Raider, and so, have not noticed it’s absence. Not that we don’t want double guns for the ponytail girl to hold.

Yes. Let's say the franchise was called "Survivor". It had the same basic story as TR2013, but had it's own female character, I'd be a lot less bothered.
I dunno. But this decision has already made a bad impact. I haven't watched those so I can't really judge. But yes it could be worse, but it also could be a lot better, and that's what I want Tomb Raider to be. Better.

Again, doing it would have the exact same result for you. Classic TR and Classic Lara wouldn't come back anyway

I completely agree with you. The names "Lara Croft" and "Tomb Raider" come with certain expectations no matter how much they insist on "forget everything you know". I would certainly be able to enjoy the Reboot character a lot more if she wasn't called Lara Croft.

I've also seen the leaked gameplay and Black Widow basically looks like the LAU move-set with an upgrade. It's like they took the Legend engine and re-worked it to fit the Avengers, what the hell Crystal? I hope Square Enix gives Tomb Raider to competent people next time. Absolutely sick of Crystal after seeing this.

I don't necessarily want Classic TR and Classic Lara back how you imagine it. Reboot just seems the extreme opposite for me. I want a happy medium. Quote:

"Certain Expectations" are down to each individual. I didn't have those expectations when I was told it would be a complete reboot. As a long fan of the Tomb Raider, I enjoyed and aproved the changes and new take, Which one of us is right in this instance? Quote:
Turning the reboot into a new IP would only result in the TR brand being shelved, nothing else.
