Glad you liked these ideas, thanks. XD I picked maroon because each timeline has their own colour; classic was teal, Jolie was typically most associated with the black outfit in the opening of the first film and L/U is brown. I picked maroon in particular because it goes so well with black, hasn't been done before in any continuity, looks great in itself and I think Lara should have a bit of a gothic/dark-minded edge to her personality. |

With the logo I think it should be a modernised/finessed classic EU logo. It's still interesting to perform this thought experiment after the unification announcement. If 2013 leaned in a slightly more classic direction or at least ended up that way then a unification would have been redundant. I heard somewhere that CD wanted to do the reboot in place of Legend, but Eido$ wanted them to play it safe(r). |

Yay, music talk
This seems like a good place to brainstorm things, especially if another reboot is on the horizon, too Symphonic metal is perhaps characterized by the electric guitars, as opposed to just symphony instruments? Maybe a touch in the rhythm section would be good for an action sequence on like a motorcycle. The same way the industrial influence worked well in the Kazakhstan lab tracks I love that one because it also has horns and strings together It's also awesome when instruments of the areas Lara is exploring are used, the soundtrack is one of my favorite things about Shadow. If I could describe Lara in a few words they would be quick, brunette and bodacious. That kind of describes what she should look like, I can't paint a specific word picture right now The story should start pretty simple.. Lara wants an artifact and then complations happen. Fun, explosive complications. Remember when Lara never met Bartoli but they were trying to kill eachother the entire game anyways? The story unfolded perfectly as she had to travel to different locations. As for characters, the only reoccurring character I've really liked was Winston, and that was especially when he kept his bullet-sponge mouth shut. |

Huh. Strange that _Seth never mentioned this thread.

I suggested in my own reboot thread that disambiguating Lara's motives and creating more scope for choice/agency is probably more important than ratcheting up the stakes per se- the reboot trilogy already suffers from Lara being effectively forced to do too many things. If Sam and Lara are an item I might have them run away to Mexico together in the next game, or some such- there are different ways for Lara to manifest escalating courage than by working up the nerve to kill her besty.

I got so much love for the reboot. It ain't perfect, the imperfections in the trilogy maybe could've been approached slightly differently but reboot Lara has grown so much on me I'd rather not disturb. I absolutely love the music in all games, they are unique and deeply emotional in their own way. I've found myself getting sentimental about the music, in all 3 three games. It's absolutely beautiful.
The way I would reimagine this series is to integrate the athletic skills Lara has learned in the comics. In between Rise and Shadow, in the comics (can't remember the name), Lara learns how to use her hearing to gain an advantage in combat especially in dark environments. And this was integrated in Shadow, where she has perception skills, although it's more related to sight than hearing. I'd love a combat approach that depended on hearing, it'd bring a unique approach to combat. And Lara has learned hand-to-hand which I wish would've been integrated into the games. I'd definitely incorporate this. There was a survey done by a TR fan who revealed that most TR players wanted to see a more athletic Lara Croft and I can certainly agree to this. Seeing Lara Croft do her sexy badass stunts again would be awesome. |

Don't get me wrong, the lesbian relationship is a good idea, but i'd execute it in a different way: i'm more of a will they/won't they kind of relationship, with lots of witty banter (Lara's British after all), lots of tease and innuendo, sarcasm, foreplay, etc. Quote:
Sometimes it's not even a good representation of a same-sex relationship, but rather an idealised, sanitised, heteronormative pastiche of a same-sex couple: safe for the consumption of the (mostly) heterosexual audiences, full of clichés and stereotypes. LGBTQIA+™ bottled up and ready for consumption, like some sort of wicked 'rainbow' capitalism. Following on my prior idea, you could make the whole banter scenario blossom into a full official relationship, but after lots of work and good writing (as in, relationship drama doesn't steal screen time from the adventure). That i would find both bold AND wholesome. |

If Tomb Raider: Ascension was ever in development from Crystal Dynamics then would you like the idea to play as Lara alone without that little child companion? I definitely would enjoy playing that way like all the rest of the other Tomb Raider games

Nope, sorry, you lost me at "lesbian relationship with Sam"...I hate Sam and her entire damsel in distress characterization, and honestly I don't want Lara in a relationship with anyone unless it is Kurtis.
And Lara being a lesbian doesn't fit with me (please don't come at me with homophobia or any other such nonsense, I have zero against LGBT), it just doesn't fit her character to me. She is either asexual or straight for me. And not even asexual, but just not interested in relationships. (Is there a word for that now?) |
