"We have Sony’s best franchise Uncharted, up against the surprising majesty that is the Tomb Raider Reboot."
Ed from Gameondaily compares the Tomb Raider reboot against Uncharted 3 and decides upon a winner, albeit tentatively.
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 fell in love with Drake before I met Lara. However, It took me some time to appreciate Tomb Raider 2013 but I got there eventually.
Devs are inspired by one another, sometimes it's subtle, other times very evident.
I'm happy both games exist. We don't need a 'versus' because they can both coexist. There's room for both games.
I do think it would be kinda cool if we had Nathan Drake and Lara Croft team up for one game
IF they did it right
Uncharted would win by miles. 4 main games along with 1 prequel shows us how NaughtyDog have managed to keep the overall series tone which the franchise is known for. They havent had to change something drastic to keep it fresh, they've always respect what Uncharted is supposed to be.
However the reboot of Tomb Raider could have been a brand new IP if it wanted to be. Instead of evolving Tomb Raider they decided to copy Uncharted making it into a full blown action game where Lara, like Drake, comes off as Rambo. It would be fine if they wanted to use the origin story of the original Lara Croft, the one we grew up with, where her plane goes down in the Himalayas killing her parents and fiancée but they decided to create something completely different. I mean how are we supposed to see how a "Legend is born" when it's not really "our" legend we grew up with.
I think I laugh more when some people try to defend the reboot and say something silly like "It's always been like that"...yeah sure it has ¬¬
