New Tomb Raider Game to Unify the Timelines of the Original Games With the Recent Reboot Trilogy.
A new Tomb Raider game is currently in the works at developer Crystal Dynamics, but it’s still far away from being officially announced.
Awesome news. I did not expect CD to be back, since there have been rumblings about them working on another game like Avengers with online elements. Shadow of The Tomb Raider had so much potential, but it was nowhere near as good as the previous two in my opinion due to disappointing story and very bad balance between exploration and combat.
I have no doubts if CD had made it it would have been better.
Although I thought it started off great and promising. But the balance of combat and exploration was just bad! I don’t think CD had much of a hand in Shadow.
I never got round to trying Shadow, was it too much combat, not enough? I kinda wouldnt mind less TBH.
Though thinking about it I recall someone mentioning there were kinda “combat areas” which seemed almost seperate to the game, was that the issue? Or have I misremembered?
Yeah, no thanks. If you want a shooting gallery play Gears of War. Tomb Raider should be about raiding tombs, not shooting 1000000000000 generic soldiers.
The absolute worst thing about the reboot and Rise was the overabundance of shooting segments.
They have to find the good balance between combat, exploration and tombs. They nailed it with the 2013 reboot, but then they lost it a bit I think. It’s a shame, they had the perfect formula from the start.
Yeah. But there was a bit of exploration in 2013 that I liked, some wide open areas you could go back to finish exploring. There was some hidden stuff, optional encounters.
Or you could just go blazing through the campaign as if it was Uncharted, you’re right.
Rise and Shadow forced you to go back to progress further and it wasn’t as fluid as the first one. As I said, they have to find the right balance.
This is great news. The last trilogy was great, better than the Legend one in my opinion, but I’d also like to see a truly big evolution to the formula now. I’m always up for more Lara!
