While many of us were far from happy about Microsoft's "acquisition" of Rise of the Tomb Raider, some took it further than others. That's the problem with having such ready access to people via the internet: it's not difficult to hunt them down and attack them when something they're involved with becomes controversial, even if the person being attacked had nothing to do with the decision. That's what happened yesterday with Tomb Raider and Rhianna Pratchett.
Tomb Raider I, II, III Remastered is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Lara Croft is back in a classic remaster of the original PlayStation 1 hit title. Is the remaster any good though?
We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.
For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.
I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.
Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
Like the film or television industry, the world of gaming has seen its fair share of reboots over the years. While some of these video game reboots have had
I dont get this... Tomb raider is no big deal to me. But if it was i recognize that id have about 2 options:
1) Buy the console and game if i want to play it bad enough.
2) Dont buy it, then it's egg on their face, they lose your business.
I don't get what the big deal, this is not a GTA, a FF, a AC, or even COD. This is not the late 90s, TR is not exactly a console defining franchise, it's a nice short term pickup for the Xbox, that's it. I think people just want to hate for the sake of boredom...
Fanboys will be fanboys. No surprise there. We saw it with the way some Xbox fanboys acted over the Destiny exclusive DLC fiasco and now we saw the Sony equivalent over this. A lot of the hate ends up being completely counter productive and irrational, targeting and attacking people that had very little to do with these exclusivity agreements anyway.
Its business. Pure and simple. I'm not saying its a good practice but some people need to wake up.
I am simply disgusted by the the way some have acted over this. To verbally attack, disparage and threaten other human beings, ones who have absolutely no say in this decision, is absolutely disgusting.
No matter what system you play on you should all be disgusted by the behavior exhibited over this news.
Since this announcement the really ugly side of gaming has been exposed. For that we should all be sad. You people who are acting this way give all of us and our beloved hobby a bad name. You should do us all a favor and stay in your basements and never come out to be with society, never post online where others may read your filth, and one day grow the F up and stop being a cancer to society.
To those that have been so viciously attacked, I, on behalf of all gamers, would like to apologize. Please rest assured that putrid minority doesn't speak for the vast majority of us. Most gamers are great, intelligent and worthwhile people. Please don't let the few scum take away from that, nor the great work that pubs and devs do to bring us these awesome games.
