I love shit like that, when you see the artists step out of their comfort zone and try new (old) things. Some of the most fun photo shoots I've ever had as a photographer was taking stuff I've found and using it in new ways or using it to create an effect that normally requires expensive equipment. I don't do that nearly as much anymore :(

So I see mentions of more focus on platforming and traversal in general yet many reviews seem to indicate that said platforming is sloppy. What a fucking bummer.

 

That's the only thing that would've won me over to this series, even if on some discount sale only, but not with typical modern AAA sticky ledge type sloppiness which this reeks of.

What's after this though?  Another reboot?  

I'm actually really hoping for another reboot series, or spin-off or whatever it may be, that goes back to the more light-hearted Adventure tone and gameplay of the original with a near-complete focus on platforming and traversal.

I loved Rise, so this was an easy pre-order purchase before Amazon's discounts went away. The only real question is if I'll be done with Spider-man before it arrives. Even at the rate I'm chewing through Spidey, that seems unlikely. Still, I'll have a month before RDR2 to finish them both.

And they really need to go back to sex icon Lara. I know I sound like a broken record, but that was the one that everyone liked. Males and females alike. Just google the cosplay. 90% of it is old school Lara. Why? Because women want to idolize sexy badasses, not someone who looks and acts just like them. The same reason comic book heroes are attractive muscleheads. Who wants to follow a lame scrawny/overweight unshaven loser? I can be that in real life.

 

My reaction is only half sarcasm.

I'm talking strictly gameplay and tone, I truly don't care what character model helms the game.

The old Lara wasn't just a character model. She was a persona. The tone and gameplay reflected that.

 

i.e. why climb up on top of a ledge when you can do a handstand and then cartwheel onto it? Why do a backflip off a truck, shoot the driver through the windshield, and then land on a jeep, when she could just shoot him through the window? Because she's Lara Croft, that's why.
