I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic about this.

@Lo So me being a mod means I can't have an opinion? Eidos was killing Tomb Raider for exactly the reason Randy stated. The franchise had, in their eyes, become pretty much their only source of real income. And when it all went wrong, they penalised the development team. As for my being content at Eidos, that was due to the community and nothing more, it certainly wasn't related to the Eidos the company. But seeing as Eidos have as good as sold the franchise, I don't foresee the Tomb Raider boards at Eidos continuing much longer anyway. Their coverage of the old-skool Raiders (which is the lion's share of the Eidos games) was always pretty pathetic. Which is a shame. Edited by Spong, Feb 20 2009, 01:13 PM.

Took the words from my mouth.  There's no saying whether this will be good or bad at all. We'll just have to wait and see, and I'm perfectly happy to wait, if it means great results. I just hope TR won't go down the RPG track........ |

To keep a positive outlook, I'm going to speculate on what's going to happen. The new company takes the helm of the Tomb Raider franchise. They promise the fans that they will breathe new life into the game. Flowers start to bloom and birds start singing. Anticipating that the new company means business and the potential for success is within reach, Core and Crystal Dynamics merge into one company and become Core Dynamics. In the board room, a panel is appointed to determine what went wrong and how to fix it. Workshops are established for the CEO's on how to better utilize their public relations department. Love is in the air. After the team has it's mandatory coffee break, (with extra caffeine), they jump in at designing a new Tomb Raider game. Every small detail is carefully mapped out and new technology is developed that allows the eternal use of the PS2. Children are running and jumping. The end result is a flawless, epic proportioned adventure game that has even the harshest critics in awe. Scores of positive reviews send sales skyrocketing and the new team becomes an overnight success. The newly revamped public relations department quickly initiates a 20% rebate program and a free company luncheon for all who purchased the game. Cats and dogs joyfully play together. Croft Manor is skillfully rebuilt, never to be torn down again. Yes my friends, happy days are here again.

I plead the fifth. @ Randy - "skillfully rebuilt"... interesting train of thought there... Amen to public relations! Kanpai!

Quite simply utopia Randy, well said. I can't deny that all the furore around Underworld, the Crystal sackings and the Eidos sell-off has generated just sooo much speculation both within the TR community and the general gaming world. And that in itself can only be good for the series. I don't think this many people have been this curious about where Tomb Raider goes next since Legend was announced. I have no real idea what to expect from SquEnix as far as Lara is concerned. I just know that I'm glad it's now out of Eidos's hands (or as good as, barring red tape). With a modicum of luck, SquEnix will simply leave the series with Crystal but give them the time they need to finally get it right. I am a little fearful, however, of the series becoming sidelined by or lost in amongst the publisher's wealth of other titles. But so long as there's a drip of info here and there, it'll help stave off any growing panic on my part. |
