Who's we? And can i ask why are they now adding people's names it the credits who didnt even work on the game developing?

To me it sounds like ... erm... licking forum admins' and TR website admins' butts to get good reviews tho the game that will most likey suck, like Legend did.

No offense, but next time I would recommend you think twice before talking things about which you apparently have no idea... :D

It's a recognition of sites who have, over many years, contributed their time and dedication to Tomb Raider :D

Personally i think it's a lovely idea, and not just coz our site name will be on it.. but because it's by way a thank you from the developers who realise the amount of work and time spent keeping TR alive.. But i also don't think it will hinder folk from giving an honest review, after all, admins of sites wouldn't vet folks opinions whether or not their site is mentioned on the game http://forum.tombrai...tyle_emoticons/default/smile.gif

Oh and i voted for 4, as it's my opinion that the older game were better http://forum.tombrai...tyle_emoticons/default/smile.gif

What do you mean?
To me it sounds like that, but i always speak about my own opinions.

I think there are way too many TR related forums and sites on internet for Eidos to mention every single one of them on the credits, and well, if they mention only the biggest ones, it sounds unfair, cause then some of the smaller sites/forums may think: why didnt MY forum/site get its name on the credits.

I hope you know what i mean.

Thats why it feels like they are just on for the good reviews. Im glad i'n not an admin of a TR related site or forum, cause that way i can say what ever i like about the next game. :D

You already answered the question "Why my site didn't get its name on credits?" yourself, by mentioning that Eidos credits BIG sites. Those "BIG" sites we are talking about, have been there for at least 4 years, trying to bring the latest info and media on the series. I agree, some of them might not provide objective game reviews, trying to give positive imagination about the releases, but I pretty sure MOST of them were quite honest regarding the games.

And yes CroftDsain, you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that. BUT, there are many ways to express your opinions, without even hurting other people's feelings and insulting their hard work. Regardless the fact that we may or not like the games released, still there is a big effort put forward to make them, and so far what I see is that people in MAJORITY like them. Which means, all the efforts haven't gone in vain. That is why I would like to ask you to use much warmer expressions while talking about games and their developers, no need to go radical lol. I hope you understand my point and will find some middle point while expressing your thoughts when it comes to Core-Crystal stuff, even if they are a hardcore criticism. I am sure this way we both can get your opinion and understand you are ****ed off; AND maintain warm atmosphere in the community. Don't you think? http://forum.tombrai...tyle_emoticons/default/wink.gif My most sincere respect! http://forum.tombrai...tyle_emoticons/default/smile.gif

:yes: I can only hope that someone who knows Toby Gard will read this. Critics do indeed serve a useful purpose as we can best learn how to ignore them. Tomb Raider Anniversary is only what this culture-starved Midwestern American can call a true masterpiece as a work of gaming art. In fact, I will go so far as to say that it is the BEST game that I have ever played in my life. I do have other favorites like the Resident Evil series and Tekken and so forth. But for educational and literary purposes especially in the study of ancient art and such, Indiana Jones better catch up with Lara, hehe. Can't afford a PS3 yet but I have heard that the system can enhance the graphic and sound experience of PS2 titles. If this be true, I hope I can afford one, heh, someday...I hope that Eidos and Crystal Dynamics and Buzz Monkey Software would consider reviving the old cult of Marco Bartoli, and perhaps on to the Meteorite Adventures, and maybe a Tomb Raider REVELATION instead of Last Revelation, haha! The ol' Superman idea...then, could it be possible that they make Tomb Raider 8 with all the places that Toby once talked about being Cappadocia, Turkey, and Malta involving the ancient stories of kerubs, which our Christian heritage now refers to as Cherubim. I find it intriguing that the Xian dagger is also associated with something called the Seraph. Also, another great thing to ignore is the complaints about Zip and Alister, who I thought were a great team. Maybe if they remade TRII, and show how Lara meets up with Alister studying Tibetan Buddhism (which was beautifully rendered in the old classic I might add) and have him help her through TR II. Then, quite possibly, in the part about the meteorites being TR III, that could introduce Zip as a tech guy working in India and that is how they meet up. Just some ideas for anyone who wants to use them. If anyone likes this post, please be sure to figure out how to send it to Eidos or Crystal Dynamics. I am quite the tech 'tard. lol. Happy Raiding mi compadres! :help:

I redirected your post to Keir Edmond, Eidos Community Rep., hopefully it will reach Mr Gard and/or anyone else who is in charge of TR's dev.

... Toby never talked about that. You probably heard it from the Smith brothers, who were so keen on AOD's success that they had planned the second (and third) part of its story which would have environments set in Turkey. And I think you mistook the nephilim for cherubim. :yes:

I voted for "I am so getting this." I had dreamed of a remake of the original TR for a long time, so it was a big surprise to me to find out on Stella's site that CD was making the game. :yes:
