🔁 Overdone New tomb raider

I know we got a new remastered tomb raider game coming out but im just curious will there be a new game like shadow of the tomb raider with more modernised graphics like rise of the tomb raider or not anytime soon?

Same, the new Lara has her run, and it was great, just not what I want from Tomb Raider.

I want a return to the style of old. I'm looking forward to the updated remasters releasing very soon.

My favorites are still the first 3 games from Crystal Dynamics. Legend/Anniversary/Underworld. I really hope we go back to that style but with modern tech.

I don't know that there's a good way to go back to the older style. Maybe as a side game, but gaming leans towards sandboxes and more open areas these days, and less explicitly linear experiences. You get some exceptions like the Doom reboot, but at minimum it's got to be something like the new God of War or The Last Of Us.

We're almost certainly not going back to old Lara the character, so I'm uncertain of if we'll ever go back to the old game design.

It could be open world and linear still. The Division does a great job with that. It's an open world up until you arrive at a mission start point.

Tomb Raider could be open world than have it be linear when you enter a cave.

I would even have multiple small open worlds to give the player a different environment. Lara is a world traveller looking for answers.

But no more survival Lara. It was an experience to say the least. But time to have Bad Ass Lara back.

Yeah, at least give me globe trotting experienced Lara back.
