Tomb Raider Takes Cues from Batman and Bond Reboots

True story, the actor playing the orderly felt so bad about doing that, that he told Linda to really connect with her elbow when she first hit him.Boudica said:
Part of me likes a darker beginning to Lara's story, but, as I recall it wasn't pleasant to begin with. From what I remember from the newer games, she was in a plane crash in her youth and in one of her first expeditions she was pursued quite relentlessly by a nightmare horror beast.
I just hope the game retains, at least in part, what made the original games great.
this is not really new. they mentioned it like in may already that they used batman as an guide to tell laras origin story.
anyway, looking forward to it. looks really far more interesting then the previous once.

I don´t want to take sides, but i think the issue is that as soon as it happens in a game it becomes "fun". The Gamemechanics aren´t there to make you feel the weight that things like Rape should make you feel, they are there to make you go "huzzah, i´m having a blast killing these bastards!".Sexy Devil said:
Btw, i´m really hoping that the aliens make a return in this game, that twist was awesome in the first game.

While the other leader's AI can be a bit nuts, Boudicca is a raving, backstabbing, ungrateful lunatic at the best of times.
And the problem is, I haven't played a single game where she hasn't been one of the AI enemies since G+K came out!

) Hmm, I'm sure that would be an interesting twist in batman begins, if Ra's Al Ghul tried to feel up Bruce wayne on that Icy river. And... Was Casino Royale a reboot? All the bond movies have been made in no specific order, I get that it was his origin story, but considering there was no previous origin story, can we still say it's a reboot?
not really...From my understanding Casino Royale was actually the first Bond story Ian Fleming wrote, but before they could make it into a movie a comedy version was made, and they had to wait for the copyright on the name to run out before they could go back and make the new version, so really it was just going back and adding in missing pieces of the story.SpectacularWebHead said:(The captcha is "Too Salty!"Seventh Actuality said:
(like I said this is how it was explained to me, I could be completely talking out of my ass, feel free to correct me if that's the case

What kind of a crime is ATTEMPTED rape anyway? Do they give a Nobel Prize for attempted chemistry? Well? Do they!?Kopikatsu said:

Guess Ill be buying devil may cry used!
Votin with my wallet *****!!!! lol
I guess that's why I don't particularly like the idea. I mean, I know I'm in the margins here, but I didn't really like what they did with Batman or the Joker in the reboot movies. I didn't like that they made Bond super traumatized by the loss of various lady-friends in traumatic ways and torture and so forth. I liked them being who they were because they were strong personalities with interesting quicks. I don't like where I now have to accept that has come from. I cringed. They lost some of their sparkle for me in that grittier rebirth that they won't get back any time soon.
My life has been plenty gritty and realistic enough not to want that in either my gaming or my movie going experience to the degree it's being put out of late. Again, I realize I may be in the margins there, so I hope this is good for everyone else, because I won't be joining y'all in playing it (or watching the Batman or Bond movies again unless my fiancé steals the remote control and forces the issue).

Not only did the rebooters of Batman and James Bond not feel the need to change the basic character of their protagonists, but Crystal Dynamics are hardly Frank Miller, Christopher Nolan or Tim Burton. I fail to see why it was "necessary" to bowdlerise the Lara Croft so that she is no longer an aristocrat, an archaeologist or even 100% English any more. It has no relevance to the game play, and shows so little respect for an iconic character it borders on Anglophobia.
He also attempted to castrate him. :-SSeventh Actuality said:

Granted that's not how it's going to be portrayed but whatever, this is a reboot so changes can be expected.
I'm pretty sure it's a reboot.SpectacularWebHead said:(The captcha is "Too Salty!"Seventh Actuality said:
At one point M (Judi Dench) in Casino Royale says, "Christ, I miss the Cold War!" which is contradictory to the idea of Casino Royale being an origin story for the previous twenty movies (in addition to the anachronisms) because the M (also Judi Dench) in GoldenEye says, "I think you're [Bond] a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War, whose boyish charms, though lost on me, obviously appealed to that young girl I sent out to evaluate you."
That statement implies Bond in GoldenEye is much older than he appears but we know that the Bond in Casino Royale has only recently been made a 00-agent, and that the M character in GoldenEye and the M character in Casino Royale are two different (though similar) characters.
