Crystal Dynamics was mindful of the balance between the classic adventure elements-pulp action was always full of rampant, mirthful killing-with the requirements of modern stories. You could do the classic Lara Croft in modern form, but as she trends towards a realistic look and fully-voiced presentation, players will treat her more like a real person. Hard to joke when your actions cause a city to be washed away in a tsunami.Īs graphics and presentation have improved, so to have the needs of storytelling. Even this changed a bit though, as the latter Uncharted adventures, Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, tried to spend a bit more time adding nuance to their protagonists. The pace of the Uncharted's adventure recalls the Indiana Jones films, where things are happening so fast that you don't really think about the fact that Indy just let that guy slowly get crushed by a mining machine or the treads of a tank.

Naughty Dog's Uncharted series side-steps this problem by having protagonist Nathan Drake always joking. Which is fine if your overall tone is right. Players never really thought about it in the original four games, but as the graphics and presentation of the Tomb Raider titles improved, players started to wonder, "Lara's a bit of sociopath, huh?" She was damn good at it and ready with a smirk and one liner just in case.

She killed a ton of people and animals, but she didn't really care. Once she gained a voice, Lara had an air of British disdain to her, which was established in the original film adaptations starring Angelina Jolie in 20. The early Tomb Raider adventures have Lara Croft leaping across platform and ledges in her classic tank top and shorts, dealing out death to everything in her way with dual pistols. With less realistic graphics, many games tended to adopt more cartoonish tones in response. The original Lara Croft, the one Crystal Dynamics left behind with 2013's Tomb Raider, was a relic of a bygone time. It's quite cool and actually pretty in line with Lara's in-game exploits where she kills hundreds of faceless guards on the island of Yamatai and wilds of Siberia, but in terms of storytelling, it feels like a regression. Covered in mud like Dutch from 1987's Predator, Lara uses a wicked knife and her now signature climbing pick to systematically dispatch foes. In it, our heroine silently works her way through a cadre of Trinity soldiers. What I found interesting was the vaguely dark take for Lara herself in the game's new cinematic trailer. According to what USgamer's own Caty McCarthy has seen, the game will see Lara tackling what she's become in her drive to live up to her father and stop the evil organization Trinity. As such, this new developer is tasked with taking what has gone before and rounding out this version of Lara Croft. Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics has handed off the reins to the rebooted Lara Croft to Eidos Montreal.
