So many game developers only know how to do derivative slop.
I am hoping for a more realistic and challenging Tomb Raider game instead of cinematic crap that plays itself. I don’t think it’s ever going to happen.
All of those things were in the reboot trilogy, and those games hardly played themselves.
The reboot trilogy was a bit too close to Uncharted. I enjoyed those as shooters but they never felt like a true continuation of classic Lara Croft games.
Death Stranding style of traversal challenge is closer to classic Lara Croft than Uncharted ever was. The bean counters only follow trends though.

Part of me is so upset how many games we’ve now seen get multiple remakes. Tomb Raider 1 is up to like its fourth version. Starfox has 3-4, Ocarina of Time has 3, Resident Evil 1 is likely to get a 3rd.
I just wish we were pushing for new experiences, especially from major studios capable of it. Everyone who sighs in disappointment anytime a games show announcement isn’t a sequel to a franchise they know is part of the problem.

my only tiff is how long they waited to make these remakes. Capcom remade RE 2,3,4 before 1 (with modern controls), Nintendo waited 30(?) years to bring OOT to modern consoles, Konami remade MGS 3,4 before 1 and 2, and they remade Silent Hill 2 before 1, makes little sense to me

Problem is also the people that keep rebuying these games!!!
I have friends that are rebuying StarFox, Ocarina and RE
