I never realized how much Crystal Dynamics stole content and ideas from Core! Is that even legal? It breaks my heart to learn how many things were stolen from AoD and put into the reboots!

Crystal's behaviour regarding the saga and the franchise have been, if not illegal, at least quite unprofessional from the beginning, spreading fake news and slanders concerning the previous developers of Tomb Raider and not taking professionally their new roles as developers of the franchise.

What anyone would expect from professionals would be, imho, to take what had been already produced and go on with the legacy trying to be quite loyal to the source and spirit of the games, completing what had been left unfinished (that is, TRAOD trilogy and the TR1 remake, at least) and then, go on with their own vision if they might - they were entitled, after all, to their own ideas concerning the franchise -. Instead, TRAOD was left unfinished, its remains and fandom dragged through the mud, some original ideas exploited to their credit and what was left simply canned. All to proceed with a first, then a second reboot that have barely stood to the quality and spirit of the original franchise.

As such, nowadays Tomb Raider is barely recognizable and there's nothing left of the character named Lara Croft, except her very name. It's a shame Crystal didn't live up the expectations of a studio inheriting a legend and an icon, instead, they thought they could be better and acted cockily and disrespectfully, and failed to provide a decent follow-up to the franchise.

Of course there's plenty of people that won't agree with this, but at this point I care little about it. The LAU trilogy or even the survivor reboot could've been nice games if they stood up alone as independent games, but as Tomb Raiders, they are simply not living up the original franchise and character. That strikes simply by the fact they've changed her biography or motivations so many times to the point it's a mess impossible to unify, as they claim to be doing.

For me, Tomb Raider died short after 2003 and it was Crystal Dynamics, and not Core Design, who killed it. Same with Lara Croft.

Well, not just Crystal. Eidos too have their fair share of guilt.

To celebrate the upcoming tomb raider IV-VI remaster coming out in just a weeks time, I made this piece for a game despite all it's flaws and criticisms holds a special place in my heart and memories angel of darkness was truly a game of its time period in a post Matrix early 2000s world with its design, darker setting and plot and Laras entire personality
