PoV: Are you excited about the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot?

Developer Crystal Dynamics, who will be spearheading the upcoming Tomb Raider title, has said that the studio went back to the drawing board because it was a "necessary thing to do" for the reboot.

Speaking with Edge, studio head Darrell Gallagher explained that the people working on the upcoming project are big fans of the series, and are determined to bring a breath new life to the stale franchise.

“A reboot for us felt like the necessary thing to do,” says Gallagher. “Lara had hit her apex in how she was before, and we didn’t really feel we could take that any farther. It was a chance to look at everything again, bring new people in who had been interested in the franchise before but didn’t feel like Lara was modern enough.

“We left no stones unturned as we were going through the concept, and then kept the right stones. The crucial thing is that it feels like her, even though it’s completely different." He continued: "We wanted to take risks. We felt like we’d done some really great games after inheriting Tomb Raider from Core [Design], and one of our goals now was to do something that people didn’t expect, that felt fresh. [The series] is a sacred and fragile thing, but you have to go for it. You’re not going to make it sacred again unless you make that big leap.”

You got to admire Crystal Dynamics desire to start the franchise over and inject some renewed creativity and innovation for the ailing franchise, which is rare nowdays. Here's hoping that they can pull it off and everything goes on as planned.

The Last Tomb Raider i got was Legend and it kinda sucked a litle
I enjoyed it and all but i could not take it seriously at all
This game looks like it following the Uncharted way of story telling should be good! :)

PoV: You cant reboOt the 1996 Tomb Raider because it was iconic of PC media at that time. and i played the hell out of 1996 Tomb Raider, but i probably wouldnt even check the back of the box when this is released.

This could be really good if they really do try something new other than the graphics overhaul & timeline change. I'm interested in seeing some gameplay footage in the near future.

Current times... Uncharted > Tomb Raider

Sorry Tomb Raider, you used to be awesome. Second one is still my favorite.
