yeah i just saw that.

"redefine the #TombRaider series in order to escape its colonial past."

if the game has such bad roots and its so terrible, then why continue to call it Tomb Raider? How will tomb raiding be relevant if it's not going to be the focus + it's awful etc, yet it's in the title?

gaming is getting more stupid by the minute.

Quote:
"Raiding, as depicted in the original Tomb Raider games and stories, involves going to ancient tombs and historical sites of different civilisations and acquiring artefacts. It operates on the assumption of 'finders keepers' that grants raiders with the means and the drive to claim ownership of artefacts, regardless of whether they have any historical or cultural claim to the treasure."

"Later games released in the franchise have started the work of addressing this by having Lara Croft acknowledge her past mistakes and try to understand and show respect for the cultures and communities she comes into contact with. She has also worked to reform raider culture and raise the awareness of her peers."

"Lara no longer decorates her mantle with mythic artefacts - as a raider she prioritises seeking out the truth. Much of this game is inspired by her humanity, struggle with heroism, and her tenacity. We believe that all three aspects are an important component in creating a game that celebrates history and culture while acknowledging the respect and work required to live in a world wounded by colonialism."

"In this game, we seek to continue in that work alongside Crystal Dynamics by creating a sandbox for you to tell stories that address colonialist themes in play and create your own stories of respect and support for the people and cultures your Seekers encounter."

So they've finally done it - turned Lara Croft, a veritable iconic sex symbol and all-around badass wealthy heiress into an SJW Bulldyke. Might as well just give her a dick and balls, rename her to "Lana" Wachowski, and be done with it. Or are they saving that for the next sequel? Vomit

She will „transition“ … Laughing


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

She already lost her feet Lara, please don't make her spelunk in ancient ruins with dangerous traps that could cost her other limbs, or worse, have her prosthetic feet slip and have her plunge to her death.

Also, I guess she's no longer Lara Croft, Tomb Raider and is now Lara Croft, Seeker of Truth?

I dunno man, sounds like she thinks the earth is flat or something.

On the bright side, this is just a silly side spin-off thing by/for activists. The main entry in UE5 thankfully will retain all the traits that made Tomb Raider memorable in the first place, such as exciting visceral contextual awesome buttons and auto-animations, seamless cinematic traversal, accessible HUD and more Jonah. And no tomb raiding of course since that's hella yikes

This is a gold mine, I haven't genuinely laughed this hard at an announcement in a long time. Can't wait till it bombs, because it is going to bomb.

instead of starting a new franchise with the characters they have in mind, they take a known ip, change everything about it, piss off its audience and obviously bomb.

And yet we are still seeing it. They need a talk with Vas
