It's weird looking back and seeing how much the franchise has changed. I feel confident that this new game is going to bring the franchise back on top. I think the problem with Crystals games from a character perspective is that they make everything about Lara, she is the focal point of everything, including the plot. She may have been the main character in the older games but she took a back seat to the dangers of the environment and the exploration. It's something I have missed.

This retrospective look made me miss the old games and desperate to go back and play them. You can tell how different the games have become and with the newest edition, it's not a Core game, but neither is it really what we have seen of Crystal so far. It may not be going back to what Tomb Raider was, and I doubt it ever will, but I like the way it is going! And I agree, Tomb Raider shouldn't be about Lara, it's about the adventure; this one needs to be about Lara in a way as it's how she went on to be who she is, but I'm hoping in future games they focus on the adventure rather than Lara's story. EDIT: Part two is now up |

GT's retrospectives are really good, and they've done pretty well with this one I think. It's pretty unbiased and looks at things from a commercial point of view rather than their own which is what makes it pretty good. Although it's a shame they didn't go more in-depth with Angel of Darkness - feels like there could have been quite a few more things said about that.

True, only problem with that though is probably what they would need to say... if they said the wrong thing they might come across as biased against Eidos for sticking up for Core or the other way around for being in Eidos' pocket! I'm sure though it was merely down to timing and if they could have said more they would have. Overall I'm really enjoying them and I'm really looking forward to the next one to see what they have to say about LAU |

Oh yeah I guess I hadn't thought of that. Would have been nice if they'd mentioned the other areas that were cut that are accessible in flight mode. Their Resident Evil retrospectives did a really nice job of showing off the older footage of the games before it was scrapped.

Brilliant! Thanks for the link! I'll add it to the OP so it doesn't get lost in all the comments... not that that will probably happen but oh well!  |
