Classic Tomb Raider sure. Everything you described, everything that is a modern Tomb Raider game, you hate. Just saying.
Come on now buddy, engage your brain before responding. I'm talking about modern Tomb Raider. The whole thread is about modern Tomb Raider. If you want to talk about avatars, it's a classic Lara Croft image. So they're a fan of the old games. Something this current incarnation is not and never will be.
I know but let's be more respectful to series fans
It isn't now doesn't mean the series doesn't change in the future like it did to change into what it is currently
Right. Nothing I said was disrespectful but sure, okay.
Tomb Raider will never ever be like old classic Tomb Raider. That type of game is dead. Especially that type female representation.
I hate what u want tomb raider isn't for u and use your brain
Some things could be phrased better
Except for the ridiculous bobbies, Lara's personality in the old games was much better than today's Lara "Daddy issues" Croft.
Yeah, her current personality could go either way. She's more needy now than the old one.
The games never focused on her in a sexual way (Tomb Raider 2 ending aside, and even then that scene in question is extremely tongue in cheek) it was the marketing outside of the games that unfortunately went that way.
As a long time fan of the series I really do miss the way Lara was portrayed in the classic series because the modern version of the character is far too miserable. That and I miss the puzzles, exploration and traversal of the older games.

Old sassy Lara still lives concurrently in the Guardian of Light and Temple of Osiris games. Interesting how the two exist alongside each other, though it's the iconic look that is leveraged for greater mass appeal in the smaller titles and mobile games. New Lara is a fine enough hero, maybe a touch too bland for longevity. Perhaps Shadow will improve that.
Looks like it's gonna reveal Nathan Drake holding 2 climbing gears in a dark rain forest, totally not generic in any way.
No, right thread. Those 2 tools on the right look like they are the climbing gear from the previous 2 games as seen here:
It's set in a dark rain forest, so going by the Lara we saw in the trailer, she'll most likely be wearing yet more ugly generic brown and grey combat fatigues.
Sadly, more and more publishers are doing this. Some are even announcing games with CGI trailers/teaser two years before the actual release.
Thank god this game will be released in less than 6 months so that's a plus i guess.
Piece of the poster or cover art for the game. Full thing will be revealed in next few weeks.
You will notice the game is a direct sequel to Rise, and I will bet you it probably doesn't take place much longer after the events of Rise. It's normal for things to carry over and look the same for a better sense of continuity.
Now, after this 'origins' trilogy is complete with the release of Shadow, I will expect major changes as far as Lara's appearance and tools go.
Ah I see. Looked like it could have been from a comic at first. This is one of those cases where in wouldn't mind a small leak on. Just a few bits of information about the new stuff we can expect and if we can expect some great puzzles too. I love Rise but the puzzles just were too easy. Bring me challenge.
Tomb Raider (Reboot) came out in 2013. Rise of the Tomb Raider, in 2015. Horizon was released in 2017. Yeah sounds like Tomb Raider is like Horizon!
/s
"Shadow" will also confirm stealth would be in the game i wouldnt remove that element.
Agree with this. I think most of the modern Lara fans are so defensive about that. Everythink you praise about the old Lara they say 'boobs' this, 'boobs' that, etc...
The old Lara have so much strong personality and still the focus are the 'boobs'.
"Shadow" doesn't confirm any stealth whatsoever. Plenty of games with Shadow in the name with little to no stealth.
It doesn't but i'm sure there will be an element of that. Or i hope.
You and others posting here and many other social networks.
Makes all sense.
I mean, SoTTR looked like the last TR game for quite some time now, after SE's deal with Marvel. Considering that they are kinda rushing this one out (2-3 years of dev time isn't a lot these days) it starts to look like a quick and cheap sequel for those fans left before moving the studio to some attractive Avengers movie tie-in. Hopefully I'm wrong and this isn't the plan.
ROTTR came out 2 and a half years after TR2013, this will be a full 3.
This will be a different studio though and a one which only had two years after its previous game's release date.
I don't think they 'killed' anything. Deus Ex is certainly not dead. I bet we will see a sequel before 2025.
It was Square Enix that really screwed up Mankind Divided with poor planning and marketing.
The TR reboots are just okay in my book. Bring back more difficult tombs, More levels, and much more to Lara. Lara always killed people but she isn't Rambo or anything and I'd like to see them do away with that bit for the next game after shadow. Please.
I loved experiencing the determining moment as Lara became the Tomb Raider in Tomb Raider, and the deciding moment as she became the Tomb Raider in Rise of the Tomb Raider, so I'm certainly looking forward to experiencing the defining moment as she becomes the Tomb Raider in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
With every new game a boy arrives from the Tomb Raider marketing team to assure me and Vladimir that Lara Croft's Tomb Raiding Moment™ is surely coming in the next game. Then we stand in the darkness, despondent. At one point, my pants fall down, or maybe that was Vladimir. I can't remember.

What's up with the shit names for these new Tomb Raider games. Rise of The Tomb Raider, Shadow of The Tomb Raider...
'The Tomb Raider' rises, and casts an ominous shadow...
Is this new series building up to Lara Croft gaining evil superpowers and taking over the world, or what?
This has been bugging me for a while.

Terrible in every way imaginable.First look at Shadow Lara and what might be boxart for the game:
I love it!
The lighting doesn't even make sense, the sun's soft glow appears too sharp on Lara.
Reboot Lara is ugly and masculine.
Melee weapons.
Still with the bow.
Trousers.
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE COLOUR?? It's still the same shitey-ass green/brown/grey.
Basically it's everything but Lara Croft we're seeing here.
The gloves and straps really make her look more badass.First look at Shadow Lara and what might be boxart for the game:
I love it!
Because she doesn't have size E's and not wearing tiny shorts?
I like you.
Allow me to join you in looking unhappy at our assured fate.
:(
lol

That looks great! I somewhat enjoyed the previous entries, but I wouldn't mind some better writing this time around. If you want to be a serious game with dark themes and a focus on story, you have to do better than they did in the first two games in that regard.
Also lol at "ugly and masculine". Lara still looks like a supermodel, it's just that she is no longer walking trough jungles like a stripper and has realisticly proportioned breasts. The horror!
