Tomb Raider Anniversary Edition

Mael · 07-29-2006

I just read a little section in my GameInformer mag that there is soon to be a remake of the original Tomb Raider game for its 10th anniversary. Any info and sites would be a good thing to have. Anyone have any?

Please post something,anything.

According to Gamespot's website:

"In its first decade, Eidos' Tomb Raider franchise became a surprise hit, a system-selling franchise, a pair of big-budget Hollywood movies, an interactive punch line, and a surprise hit once again. The publisher today announced that it will commemorate that run with a 10th Anniversary Edition of the original Tomb Raider for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and PC.

Calling it a "new game," Eidos said it tapped Crystal Dynamics to develop the 10th Anniversary Edition. After original Tomb Raider developer Core Design's poorly received Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness, Eidos handed the series to Crystal Dynamics, which created this year's successful Tomb Raider: Legend. While Eidos has retained the Core Design name, it has since sold off the physical studio and its assets to UK-based Rebellion.

Eidos didn't announce much in the way of details for the 10th Anniversary Edition, but the publisher's head of brand management Larry Sparks said it is "a one-off title" that would appeal to existing Tomb Raider fans, as well as attract new ones. There is no release date or pricing information for the project as of yet."

Sweet I loved the original! One thing I hope they do is bring back the Croft Manor in all it's glory. TR:L's Croft Manor was disappointing because you couldn't go outside and complete the obstacle course, go to the firing range, or the maze (which leads to a locked which in turn leads to an ATV). And you weren't able to shoot the butler in TR:L! I loved shooting him then knocking his *** over in TR 1.

Thats what I think they should do.
