Seems barmy some won't accept the exclusivity deal didn't hurt the brand. It's like burying your head in the sand at this point. When you have the majority of people/the fans mainly pick it up on PS4 when given the choice, you know you done goofed keeping it off the platform purposely before.
I think one of the only ways to save Lara (other than an extremely great reviewed/hyped/recieved game, which seems very difficult to achieve) is to literally go back to her roots. As in the original TR/TRs remastered. Sony/Activision did a great job of hyping and promoting Crash, it could work on a similar level here (though not exclusive lol). Playing on the nostalgia factor massively, her hugely (cough) recognisable model/clothing etc, from back in the day. Lara through the years has gone on so many transformations, to the point where she doesn't stand out anymore. Only her name. I think if you showed people the image of her today vs her back on the PS, few would pick her out. I'm actually amazed the original TR have just been forgotten by SE and haven't already had some treatment. But I think that time is now if it was apparent before. The time for the franchise to be invigorated and exciting again is desperately needed if SE are serious about the brand and want to it sell really well.
