@@mugen1777 They've had a superiority complex from day one, have completely and utterly destroyed Lara Croft and everything that made her an icon, and consistently (all the way up to 2018's SOTTR) make jabs at Core Design (who has LONG since been out of business) in their TR games. I love to break it to them, so; without Core Design, they wouldn't even have Tomb Raider to work on. They need to learn some respect bc the disrespect is absolutely disgusting. It's not hard to see why people hate them.

They still censored some stuff of Tomb Raider, at least i heard of that. At least they removed the censorship and i dont even see any point for that. I am playing the remasters 1-3 right now and damn i love it (i am nearly there where the t-rex is comming xD), especially the music. What i dont understand it is why they call the old Tomb Raider games racist, at least you see a text with that when you start the game. Why do these people always try to find any evidence of racism, even that there was nothing?

[@LaffeeTaffeeGG]

@@Hunter-jo8ud There was definitely some extreme ethnic stereotyping going on that many today would consider racist. From the Tibetan monks to the cannibals on the Pacific Island. Heck even all the enemies in the Nevada level are all stereotypical American bikers (working at a dam for some reason). When it's that blatant, it tends to come off as intentional, so I understand why the company wants to add a disclaimer. It's just sad that the implication is that Core Design and the remasters development team are all racist.

[@Hunter-jo8ud]

@@LaffeeTaffeeGG Nobody cared about it, mostly not even today and people didnt even thought like oh is that racist? It was just about gaming, nothing else 😅

[@LaffeeTaffeeGG]

@@Hunter-jo8ud Even if it was unnecessary, adding a disclaimer was the considerate thing to do, although the disclaimer was worded VERY badly. It came off as begging the audience not to hate them, and throwing all the blame on Core Design and Eidos as the ones being racist, and making Saber and Aspyr take the heat if anyone wants to attack. All they needed was a small disclaimer in some fine print somewhere to address for some what may be the elephant in the room, and that would have been fine.

[@Kirivera]

I just wish Lara actually progressed into the badass that she is in the original games from the 2013 reboot. But she never did. She never used the duel pistols again, never learned acrobatics, and just cried more. A total regression of her character. Is this what female empowerment is to those people? Are they trying to destroy her character on purpose? Do they not want my money? So weird...

[@williet.3058]

These days, the studios are more about teasing than actually doing (not using Batman in the side shows, sticking to the side characters in SW etc). The reboot trilogy was basically one concept stretched across 3 similar games, which got boring fast.

[@Kirivera]

@@williet.3058 What sucks is that Lara *did* evolve by the end of the first reboot game. She was more confident, pulled out a second pistol in desperation, and was shown to already be heading out on another adventure in the last cutscene of the game. Rise of the Tomb Raider was fine, but not much progression to Lara, if any, and the game was still good in its own way. But Shadow of the Tomb Raider is where Lara completely lost me.

[@LaffeeTaffeeGG]

It's been over 20 years since we last saw the iconic Lara Croft that we all know and love (15 years if you still count the "Legend" games). There's literally no incentive for them to go back to that version of Lara. The reboots created an entirely different fanbase for those who like the new games, dividing the Tomb Raider fans between new and old. The only reason they keep promising to toe the line between new and old is because they want to string the old fans along for more profit, but honestly if they had to make a cold hard choice to go back to old or stick with the new, they will always stick with the new. Old fans are a dying breed, and dying breeds don't help a company progress.

[@kosmikaonebladeshy]

Nu lara never had the qualities of og lara, so to take that nu lara is gonna evolve into like og lara is just wishful thinking. They both have different psyche and personalities. Nu lara is never gonna be badass and charismatic because on a character background aspect, she never grew up and developed those traits. Their direction with nulara is empathy and some feminist mindset, og lara is all about adventure with sex appeal.

[@VileGlory]

I don't think they're trying to purposely destroy her character. I think they legitimately do not know how to write decent characters. That's why we got so many self inserts these days.

I think the problem CD has with Lara is that she’s not allowed to be a hedonistic daredevil. Probably some dumb reasoning like a bad role model. Then of course there’s politics surrounding what she does with the treasure she finds. OG Lara simply could not be made today.

[@jovanjonck]

I agree with you and I think it's funny how they say OG Lara couldn't exist today due to 'colonization' concerns. There are so many ways to address this with good writing! Imagine if Lara were hired by governments around the world to help find relics, or if she sent her findings to local museums as part of the story. Even receiving items as a thank you would add a layer of respect and collaboration. Easy peasy! This would only enhance her image as a good role model since she helps people, while keeping her as the adventurous tomb raider she’s always been. The original Lara thrived on raiding tombs for sport-remember her magazine cover in the very first game? There's nothing wrong with that OG Lara, except for the lack of creativity from writers who miss out on expanding her story with simple, yet meaningful, changes.

[@lucianalfaro9170]

@@jovanjonck that probably wouldn't be enough for old fans since the whole point was that Lara wasn't really a good person and was pretty selfish.

Like I liked the stealth and shooting sections but it was more gun based rather than exploration as well. I liked the 2013 one a lot compared to the last 2. I just hope her character returns to either AOD or Legend Lara as they were my personal faves. Lara being sassy and sometimes rude was fun to watch XD.

I really like the set piece action style of the reboot games, if the new game is like that I'm excited for it.

If they go back to the original Lara portrayal, but in the gameplay and world building of the reboots, that's a W in my books.

[@karlvex]

My main concern is them calling it "unified" but all they will really do is put their version into the classic outfit with dual pistols and call it a day. As a 96' fan this is not the representation i'm looking for and is only "skin" deep. The survival version of the character was meant to evolve into the classic character we remember and i've been waiting for that since 2013. That being said these versions have become so drastically different that they are essentially different characters at this point, which is sad for old fans. Lara Croft is a badass - intelligent, strong yet incredibly feminine, former aristocrat and her own confident person. She lives her life her way and with a sense of discovery and thrill. She doesn't wear converse with a dress or shy away from being "proper British." She knows who she is and doesn't second guess herself. I know you all miss this character too. Also stop with the crying and the little bird nonsense please. I don't see classic Lara putting up with it.

[@jarwar263]

More than likely they’re either unifying it with Tomb Raider anniversary and then they’ll remaster tomb raider anniversary or remake tomb raider 1 again and do the resident evil leap frog where they further the story and then remake an old game at least that’s the way I see it going since it has worked really well for the resident evil franchise

the fact Amazon is involved, you can expect the next mainline installment won't be like the classics. that being said im surprised Crystal is doing the game at all, because Square was the publisher after buying it from Eidos Interactive. so i thought they sold it to Embracer group, the people that are doing the remasters. but it looks like they may have sold it to Amazon, unless Square just gave the series over to Crystal. but that would be kind of weird for them, considering they had a falling out with Crystal Dynamics. i don't know what the story, but they already wrapped up the reboot trilogy, so the next game likely won't be related at all. the question is, what kind of game are we getting, and how old will Lara be. i don't have much hope for the series after Shadow and Rise, only the first game was any good, even though it's still not Tomb Raider. but atleast that Lara had some resemblance to classic and Legends Lara, Underworld comes to mind. but the games after that, Rise and Shadow were modeled after the voice actor, but the first game had someone else.

Melonie you did perfect job keep it up to good work, who's your favorite Tomb Raider character?

[@MelonieMacGoBoom]

Lara Croft is my fav of course, but other than her I really like Kurtis Trent 😁

[@terrelldiggs9590]

@@MelonieMacGoBoom ok

[@laracroftvideos]

I wish someone hired Melonie to be somerhing like a lead consultant/executive producer for future TR games. We need more people like her at the helm of the franchise.

[@PoweredByFlow]

I do like the poster so far. lol But they probably just teasing people with some good looking cake and throw in a bait and switch in the last second.

[@xdonotenterx]

They really need to go back to tomb raider roots. Loved tomb raider up until the 2013 reboot. The legendary era was ok, I didn’t hate it. But yeah played 2013, felt like a whole other series, gave rise a chance and felt like I was playing the same game and I didn’t even bother with shadow. they need to REMAKE AOD, put back all the cut content so that amazing story has it’s time to shine, complete that trilogy and basically start from there.

[@budoshi-f2l]

Woke / DEI is not completely removed from the gaming industry, so expect the worse. Expect some crying, some bad attitude, girl boss bs . You name it.hope this time around. Im wrong.

[@connornave93]

Had no clue you were a BB fan as well 🔥 Awaken is amazing 💪

[@skyblazeXIII]

God I hope resident evil 9 doesn't suck. Also the new Tomb Raider Game, I hope it also doesn't suck.

[@Momoka7]

I played Tomb Raider back in the day on my Sega Saturn where it released first in EU, later I got the PS1 version as well, bought it off of someone wanting to get rid of it. I liked it. When Tomb Raider 2 released, I bought it but... was disappointed because suddenly the main game play was not you running around in one or the other tomb with mainly exploration and occasional animals as enemies, now it was humans as enemies mainly. You ran around in Venedig. That made me not interested in Tomb Raider anymore, just out of coincidence I got my hands on a Dreamcast Tomb Raider (4 or 5, I don't remember anymore) which I also didn't like and thus never finished. Years later, in 2007 they released Tomb Raider: Anniversary which I took a look at and... because it was a remake of the first Tomb Raider I liked... allot. Played it, beat it, loved it. That made me take another look at the main series, Tomb Raider Legends and so, which I didn't like. I looked at Tomb Raider : Underworld, which again I didn't like. I played 2013s "Tomb Raider" which was fun enough, but I did not like those quick time events, they where so bad. I don't know why, but they keep going away from what Tomb Raider 1 did, and did well... and it turns into a generic game like many others like it.

[@Fenrir-rw3ko]

Mel should direct this new game she knows whats great about the originals as for this new game im just hearing crofts no for buying it 🤣

[@jackslaughter3233]

Soooo... After the Netflix series every genuine Tomb Raider fan has pulled the ejector never to be seen again. And anybody new to the franchise has come to the conclusion that Tomb Raider is boring and boarded the life rafts while the IP sinks into the murky depths. I'd wish you luck Crystal Dynamics but it would be insincere... So I won't 😂

[@costinandrei117]

Hey there! I just found your channel recently and I just wanna say I love your TR content and stances which I mostly agree with. One thing I wanna say is that I don't mind if Lara's adventures start focusing on different motives throughout her games, whether it's her family, friends, past, lovers whatever. Remember AOD was entirely different than the rest of the games up to that point and the story still worked perfectly in the Core Design era. Changing her personality is where it became a huge deal breaker for me. I actually enjoyed the LAU trilogy because badass Lara was still present. Even TR 2013 was fine because I was open to the idea of seeing Lara who she was before becoming independent and confident. It was with RoTR where all the issues began for me because it seemed like Crystal Dynamics wanted to keep this Lara longterm, thus making this victim-loserish the personality to remain on, which really sucks.

[@williet.3058]

Yeah, just finished RoTR and her self-reflection was getting more and more annoying. Also, disgusting representation of the Soviet era filled with lies.

[@CptainMajor]

didn't bought the remasters cause i was never a TR fan, but since i know saber are anti woke and that i loved space marine 2(never knowing warhammer before) i will surely get all of the TR remasters

[@Bookworm214-y3d]

Expect this to be modern

[@JAMJOOM_GAMER]

After watching the TV show, I felt that they had no intention of returning to the original concept in a significant way. Instead, they seemed to want to continue the robot's journey while reconnecting it to some of the fundamental ideas that they had previously disregarded.

[@azealiasbanx492]

Please keep doing the lords work of pushing classic Lara onto people but not pushing homophobia and transphobia

[@doctorogre1777]

This rights situation with Tomb Raider is confusing. I thought Aspyr had the video game rights and Amazon had the multimedia rights. Or is it Crystal Dynamics has all the rights and Aspyr bankrolled the Remasters and put Saber in charge of developing them? Or do Amazon have all rights, that's why they are bankrolling the show and the main game? But why does Netflix get the trash cartoon while Amazon has its own competing streaming service? ...Screw it. I'll just stick to Saber's stuff and ignore the rest.

[@bedfordshiremodeller4491]

Saber interactive and Aspyr do not work with Amazon or Crystal dynamics. Their 2different developers that seperate themselves from the evils of both Amazon and Crystal dynamics

[@JacksonW1011]

Wait people thought the Netflix show was bad? I was greatly entertained

[@TheRicardobtc]

Not gonna lie, the Legend trilogy is my favorite in terms of gameplay, and I hope we get something like it in the future. I think it hit the sweet spot between puzzles and action, albeit more focused on the action part. I wished they bumped the difficulty a bit and made the exploration less linear though, those were the weak point. The main thing is that I can still recognize Lara and it still felt like Tomb Raider, especially Anniversary which is a remake of the TR1. The classics pushed a bit too far in terms of difficulty imo, which often led to frustration, but the story and the environments were top notch. The Survivor trilogy, on the other hand, had no redeeming qualities aside from modern graphics, and I *hated* it. It felt like Uncharted and nothing like Tomb Raider, and the character got completely butchered both in design and story. Even the spin-off games did a better job and portraying Lara. We don't talk about the Netflix thing... they gave her the twin pistols back, and that's pretty much the only thing they did right. All they had to do was make an animated series of either the Classic or Legends trilogies (or fuck it, do both). They went for the worst one, even though they knew it was the most likely to flop.

[@ValeriaZaurov-xl1vg]

Core Design games and the Legend /Underworld can be somehow unified because they do have the same aspects of her. But the reboot after Underworld is not possible to unify...

[@videostash413]

I love the exploration in the original, I don't think the second or third games even recaptured that.

[@Daniel-Rain-YT]

Yeah Crystal Dynamics is just bad news, there's nothing to be hyped about.

[@LordBelial1978]

I call them Crystal Dumbnamics.

[@PowerStunna]

Melonie should cosplay Lara and show em how it's done!

[@pvgaming8243]

Not with the tats.

[@lennywright5655]

No offense to Melonie but, she doesn’t have the assets to pull off the way she or Tomb Raider fans would want Lara Croft represented in media.

[@nicolewolcott]

Oh heck yeah!

[@Z-A-C]

I just want remakes of the old tomb raider games in the vein of anniversary

[@neonsheep3358]

I wish there was someone like you to speak up about Spyro and Crash when they got bastardized. Its sad seeing our childhoods pillaged.

[@josip342]

What happened to Spyro and Crash?

[@TheConsoleFreak]

I prefer the reboot survivial trilogy gameplay and graphics wise. the others are very hard

[@hb-hr1nh]

I hope they don't make all versions of Lara Croft lesbian.

[@heroofthyme4237]

I would like mix of the old games and new

[@Reidbynature]

The whiny survivor bow assassin Lara existed in the shadow of Uncharted which it tried to ape. Like you say "set piece simulator". The Legend reboot felt more like T9mb Raider, but still managed to expand on her lore and supporting characters (whilst not perfect, weren't the car crash the supporting cast of the more recent reboot were).

[@Constellasian]

I liked some of the games made by the original Crystal Dynamics. Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver, 90s - early 2000s Tomb Raider games, and Gex were awesome. I hated the Tomb Raider reboots published by Square Enix. I'm not excited for the Amazon Game Studios Tomb Raider.

[@Pablo1517]

I came here cause I saw you on sidescrollers and I like looking at cute people xD

[@G360LIVE]

We're just normal men. :)

[@PapaBear0114]

For the Netflix show, they’re still a second season that was ordered with the first. Which is why it leaves on a cliffhanger. I will say the cliffhanger itself makes no sense as a comic book story set between had a similar story.

[@Grzegorz-Raider]

How do you imagine the classic Tomb Raider games in a modern form? In my opinion, the last three installments did it best - you simply can't come up with anything better. 🤔

[@dylanmijer2890]

There was never a plan to unify the timelines, I know this because I remember having the game informer magazine that talked about the TR 2013 being a reboot, not a prequel, the reason why they start talking about unifying the timelines was because us original fanbase stop supporting, so they’re desperately trying to get us back on board by any means necessary, and unifying the timelines is one of those means😂

[@zairehaylock4974]

I love Lara Croft. ❤

[@Cassmatic2077]

Larry Croft happened and I suddenly woke up next to Tifa

[@Highrollinhunter]

Melanie Mac should play as Lara Croft because she looks just like Lara Croft

[@10drasslips]

I bought my PS1 because of Tomb Raider. That being said the Survivor Series was so much better. The Netflix series is not bad at all. Never realized there was so much hate for the new games. People will complain about anything. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MichaelAChristian1]

I liked escape pieces. But you need a bit of puzzle, platforming as well.
