Livingstone: Next Tomb Raider will contain “remarkable things”

tombraideruderworlda5

Eidos chief Ian Livingstone’s teased the next Tomb Raider for the first time, saying the game is to “reinvigorate” the IP after a lukewarm Underworld reception.

“The next Tomb Raider, I think, will surprise a lot of people and reinvigorate the franchise,” he said, talking to GamingIndians.

“There are some remarkable things we’re doing in the next Tomb Raider to make you say, ‘Oh Lara, I love you so much!’”

We’re willing to bet you a huge amount of money it doesn’t make us say that, Ian.

There’s no other detail as yet. More soon, hopefully.

It’ll be packaged with a free Fleshlight or something.

Why after reading that do I get left with the feeling that somewhere in Ian Livingstone’s house (kept waaaaay out of sight) there is a lifesize cardboard promotional display of Lara with improvised ‘realistic’ orifices?

Unless this next game involves Lara done up the wrong ‘un by pirates – NO SALE

Wasn’t Underworld the surprising entry that was supposed to reinvigorate the franchise?

@ hitnrun: indeed it was, it is actually a pretty decent adventure too imo. There are some real dud levels but it also features some of the most genuinely enjoyable segments the series has had to offer so far…

@hitnrun
Exactly, didn’t they say the same about Underworld!? Which was a pretty average game, IMO!
