Fantastic video, but I have a nitpick. Asking Crystal Dynamics for permission is futile. They won't say yes, because they don't have the rights to say yes.

Square Enix are the ones you want to deal with, and unfortunately they are fiercely protective of IP, constantly tracking down and shutting down projects by fans with every legal means at their disposal. That's not gonna chance anytime soon. So while I say good look and I hope we get a look at these assets in future, I won't hold my breath cause Square Enix just aren't going to budge.

[@miguelin285]

Tomb Raider had a very dark an intriguing atmosphere, a game full of mysteries, puzzles, keys of all kinds to open new paths, a lonely exploration that makes you feel disolated, abandoned, and besides, everything you see were real places, because core always visited countries like Egypt, London, many South american countries, and tons more, and took pictures to design each level in the game, that's why no other designer like crystal dynamics or even worse, square could ever do, but the preasure of TR Fans, and mistakes from core, mainly because of not explaining what happened to Lara after the incident of the great pyramid, and her "assumed" death, all that ended in Core's getting fired, a great failure from eidos if you asked me, and the only ones that truly lost with this decision were us... the real TRfans that coul have experienced more real magical moments, we have to be more comprehensive, forgive when needed, core claimed that they were making 2 more TR games to explain what happened to Lara, and the explosive pseudo-fans didn't let core amend their mistakes, maybe one of those games was this one. TR: As a fan of TR and legacy of Kain series, I feel like eidos decisions killed both games at once. Hope you Understood my english, I did my best 😃

[@thecutexxone]

Man I would love to play the classic games with some upgrades. Especially tomb raider 2. But I actually really enjoy the new games as well. They definitely aren't anything like the classics so I also understand why people don't buy into them. You have think of it as a different time line exploring a different way of how lara is becoming tomb raider. But I also miss already spunky and sassy young lara of the classics. Games are a lot more story driven these days with a lot of character depth where as the classic games tended to just have a loose, over arching storyline. It's "you have to get the next piece in these next levels" vs "this is the story of laras outer and internal struggle and she's gonna tell you exactly why she's doing what she's doing as she does it so you feel like you're really involved in the story and can feeellll the realness". Both have their appeals. I enjoyed the puzzle solving of the old games but I also enjoy the depth of the new games. Also the classics were always lara wanting something, lara realizing others want the same thing but for bad reasons, lara deciding she has time to ruin their plans while she gets what she wants. The new games make everything personal to lara and not so much about the actual treasure hunting. I'm hoping that they will either skip ahead a few years or just finally get to the part where we get confident, sassy lara with dual pistols who just wants to discover shiz.

[@atilamachado7379]

After the remastered trilogy announcement (and all the mystery about what will be changed in that version) I started to think, again, about TRAE, and ended up watching this video. I remember when the trailer appeared from nowhere, 17/16 years ago, and how I wanted so much to play Core's remake through all these years. This is what they should be doing, using all the work that Core made years ago, specially now that we know they have the old builds and assets. I know it's not realistically, but the remastered collection is obviously targeted for old school tomb raider fans, and what we want more than TRAE? Nothing!

I guess I should check what I did and didn't read about TRAE yet... Ah and you also did well with playing with our feelings! :D Haha well, it's hard not to get emotional for Classic TR fans when talking about TRAE. I really hope we will manage to get it out, even though I myself wouldn't be able to do anything with it, I'd just hope other fans would create something out of it.

I don’t mind the Crystal Dynamics games until the reboot. Ever since Tomb Raider was rebooted, it didn’t felt like Tomb Raider anymore and Lara Croft, the badass with twin pistols didn’t felt like Lara anymore (seriously, even the first two movies understood that). EDIT: Dude, we need to get the Core team back together. Only they could do this game series justice. Even if I like the first 3 CD games, only Core Design managed to give these games that special feel (a mix of creepy, scary, mysterious and exciting) that even AoD had.

Honestly going to Crystal was a huge mistake, they're the most interested in making this build disappear. If it was leaked, Resident Evil 1.5 style, we would already been working on it, by trying to make it playable or at least ripping the textures and objects to create at least a TRLE version of it. Sad to say this will remain on Ash's PC for a long time. At least we know it's safe, but as long as Crystal Dynamics is involved with the franchise, their disdain for the Core era will prevent that anything comes from that build. They're obviously not Nintendo so I don't see them sending cease and desist letters, especially on a fanbase that is building custom games with original assets officially for the last 20 years. But this is corporate business, and they're very protective with how the TR brand is handled, so they will never allow, especially if it allows comparisons with their cherished TR1 remake.

It looks like the exact kind of Tomb Raider I want to play and it's such a shame it was never made (Except that trapdoor spider. Fuck that spider) It would be so good to have something playable or more tangible of TRAE

Hello, I have a question. Now that Square Enix has sold off Tomb Raider, what happens now? Is this the end of Tomb Raider as a whole?

[@Raidercast]

So we can go back in time a little bit with this. Last year MGM lost the rights to the Tomb Raider movies and the second Alicia film was cancelled. Then Square sold the franchise along with lots of others to Embracer Group. However since then we've seen the launch of the latest Tomb Raider mobile game, seen a couple more collaborations with other games and heard that the next main game is in development on the incredible Unreal 5 engine. There's still a while to go for that, but in the meantime we can expect to see the Netflix animated Tomb Raider series starring Hayley Atwell as Lara (possibly this year?). We also found out that Amazon Gaming will be funding the next game with Crystal Dynamics developing, however that's not all. Strong evidence suggests Amazon are also developing a brand new movie and a TV series written by Killing Eve / James Bond writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge. This has yet to be officially confirmed, however PW-B has given interviews about it so it's more than likely going to happen. Embracer Group has also expressed much interest in the back-catalogue of games which it purchased from Square, so fans are hoping this will also lead to re-releases / remasters of the old TR games. All in all, you could objectively say TR is about to become bigger than ever. Here's a video of more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWibaGSQZdGardk

New tomb raider games have lost the ecstatic of the franchise. The legendary series initially was good, but this realistic idea is not the real lara. (Or realistic for that manner, lol) lara is meant to be an early devilmay cry or bayonetta. What i mean is lara does amazing things easily and is always cool and collect. She isnt as extreme as the two examples but she is the first of this genre. It is sad to see her watered down to her current iteration

[@Flamboyvnt]

Yes people but, hard to say, i’m really grateful that this didn’t came out... the current official TRA is waaay more playable and graphically good. This TRA concepts and sceneries are nice as the atmosphere that embraces it but guys this would look 30 years old now and you couldn’t enjoy playing it as you can with the official one. I’m just sad that everything that came out after TRU (except for the Lara Croft’s spin off which i found very fun to play) Square Enix didn’t get a shit about the tomb raider aim and spirit making the reboot trilogy games too much “reality oriented” focusing too little on storytelling, personalities and the gameplay as it used to be. Don’t know about you but if the next TR game won’t have auto targeting, acrobatics, shorts and attitude i won’t buy another single game form Square Enix :3

[@nikolai3468]

Same point too, Although I personally like the atmosphere and colors in this Anniversary - Crystal's Anniversary still probably would have better models and controls in general. I really liked the LAU series in general for having such a good control scheme but I would still love to see how Core's Anniversary would look, just to see how the original idea was like.

[@saber7469]

I feel the same. I loved crystal dynamic rendition of the tomb raider 1. If I was going to imagine back then, I would want a game that would also appeal to casual players. Controlling Laraon the annoversary, legend was the best. because I didnt have to worry about pushing much buttons just to go from point a to point b and it also made the game smoother. I played all the games and found tr3 to be dearest to me.

The Crystal Dynamics versions appeal more to people that didnt like the classics it seems. I loved the way the old ones played better to be honest.

[@lionocyborg6030]

Glad to see more people are joining the cause. :) I've wanted to play the _real_ Tomb Raider 1 remake ever since I first read about it back in 2008 when googling Anniversary, especially after seeing Tomb of Ash's collection of screenshots, watching all the trailers/animation demos and reading the design doc. The Extra Boss level, Escape from Atlantis as well as Atlantis in general are my favourite parts of the Core remake and I long to actually play them. I did hear rumours that Escape from Atlantis had only been designed but not implemented by the time it was cancelled though. Maybe when Crystal allow it to release, the Tomb Raider community can contact/get together with the original TRAE team from Core Design to implement the missing parts. #TRAE

For me it was never about Crystal vs. Core, as TRL/TRA/TRU were quite close in spirit to the classics. But I got upset when Crystal started selling a female Robin Hood survival shooter game as TR, the reboot trilogy.

[@lionocyborg6030]

To paraphrase what a wise man once said about a game in a similar situation to TRAE: "You know how people say something's always alive so long as you keep it in your hearts? That might work for Grandma but not Lara Croft. We _could_ have Core Design's Tomb Raider Anniversary Edition as it should have been. It's not unthinkable, it's not impossible, it only requires the will. And the balls." kzbin.info/www/bejne/qITZaX1sotV-gtk

This is almost a Duke Nukem Forever scenario.

[@devontitterington6418]

I like that co-op idea.

[@patylasobrinadegloria6027]

Quiero a Lara Croft la original de Core design , no me gusta que traten de hacer a Lara con el aspecto de una persona real , me encariñé mucho con Lara de los 90's , tenía mucho carisma y me inspira simpatía hasta hoy en día, los desarrolladores deberían trabajar más con ese diseño de Lara mejorando texturas y formas mucho más, por esa Lara es que amé y amo Tomb raider .😔💚

[@techbit7607]

Please Core just give us old Tombraider fans 1,2,and 3 in the modern game engine we will give you millions of dollars and we all can live in peace.

Still I think the Tomb Raider Anniversary we officially got was a pretty fine game overall. Still I think I would have wanted 2-4 remade as well. ( yeah I know, dagger of xian but it is only the first level). Still I hope Anniversay gets a tech upgrade on xbox consoles to look like the PC version.

[@grose2272]

It was only a teaser and it worked.lol production team couldn't see eye to eye on it, and this was to get fan pressure and hype up for the game. Money is a motivator.

[@abdelali9279]

Fans in 2006: No, Core's Anniversary. No! Crystal's Anniversary project. Fans in 2021: You guys were getting games for TR's Anniversaty?

[@jonathaningram8157]

I love both type of Tomb raider. Both had their strengths and weaknesses. I hate the latests trilogy though. Uncharted Raiders has nothing to do with the base idea of the game or even the characters.

[@jamiejam9066]

We need this.. omg classic tomb raider all the way 😁🤘

[@G_Sergeant]

looks even more dated than legend and i still like that game, something about the movement makes it look like it still has the classic games' tanky controls feel

[@Raidercast]

Have you played it? It very much feels like a hybrid.

[@leniekotze9697]

TR -PS1, TR -PS2 ,TR -PS3 and up today i like the G8J female model from Tomb Raider Anniversary G8J female model is also in Tomb Raider underworld this female model have lot more body then what was used in last 3 Tomb Raider Games of the series thank you

[@GabrielOnuris]

This is the 3DRealms' DNF of Tomb Raider titles. It needs to be done.

[@lionocyborg6030]

It's both that and the Black Mesa as well. Since the files were released, fans have been working diligently on slowly but surely making the Black Mesa simile more literal. It's currently still an alpha but these things take time, especially when full level editors for this specific game engine and Core's plans for _every single_ room besides the main ones are hard to come by. www.tomb-of-ash.com/trae-indy-build/ To continue the Black Mesa analogy, it's counterpart to Xen would have been a brand new final level after The Great Pyramid called Escape from Atlantis, where Natla's boss would gain a third, level long stage with her piloting a massive semi-organic war machine, desperately trying to kill Lara even if it means destroying the remains of Atlantis: steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/792000187951599293/8301556CC0A669F962E7B0200AF975171E41B0D5/ You'd have to sneak and run your way through very Angel of Darkness lava caverns until you come to an underground volcanic vent under the pyramid or another part of Atlantis where you'd fight Natla in the war machine proper, playing like the Scarab mech fights in Halo 3 but much more climactic and without heavy weapons or vehicles. This will be probably one of the hardest parts of TRAE's new development as Core did plan this level out fully, but never got a chance to implement it or make their intended changes to The Great Pyramid before the cancellation. This is at its most egregious if playing the latter level before or after Atlantis: the shaft was given an awesome redesign for TRAE but the Great Pyramid version is still the TR1 one, as well as everything else in The Great Pyramid.

[@lewisgrant7622]

Was cancelled probably because core weren’t exactly doing great

[@andymoran8624]

now i have to go play the original again, always a fave and wow this version would be awesome to play

[@Raidercast]

It’s available to play now if you have a pc! Check one of my latest vids about it and there are links 🙌

[@taktical7665]

I think they said not since their making a anniversary edition and probably don't want the attention took away from the new game to this one. I'm glad they didn't fully shut him Ash done and tell him to get rid of it. So hopefully they say yes after 25th anniversary comes out

[@Raidercast]

Even the playable state it's in is great to run around in. And fans are working to make it even better, so it'll be available at some point for people play properly!
