India have plenty of tamples etc. with great history and such. I can't wait to explore all this.
Open world though.... that's sort of a red flag, but we'll see.

Rumor: Next Tomb Raider is Open-World, takes place in India

India, nice. Games are rarely set in India despite the country having a long, rich history and over a billion people living there.

That’s what they did with the last reboot. Shadow has very little combat and is mostly exploration.

I mean, I'd date her.She still looks amazing in the games, but we will still have to see if they downgrade her(and i'm specially worried after the table top drama)

Haven't played the last reboot series because it in the gameplay footage I've seen, it looked to me that they wanted to make it more like Uncharted. But maybe I need to rectify this.

Why?... Not the India part, that's fine. Even though it is derivative of Uncharted something something (The one with Chloe as the protagonist).
But why open world? Why add more bloat and mediocrity to Tomb Raider, after Rise and Shadow? Two of the most mediocre games in the series (to me)
Also the whole thing recently about Lara being transformed into a respectable and culturally sensitive "Raider", is so fucking boring.
Lara has always been a selfish asshole, and that's part of what made her unique. "I want thing, if there's thing standing in way of thing, I go bang bang, and get the thing".
She's very knowledgeable of history, and is aware of cultures and stuff, she just didn't care to be hyper honorable and sensitive of them.
She wanted the thing. And she craved the fun and adventure of getting the thing.

She looks high half the time.
Also OG Tomb Raider reboot (not definitive edition crap) > Rise or Shadow.

Interesting
I liked The Lost Legacy better than Uncharted 4 tbh, but there was a lot of reasons for that, the setting being one.

I loved the last trilogy, and part of that was because the environments were hand crafted segments and moments that were tailored to excite and stimulate. An open world game Tomb Raider isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I hope they still have plenty of carefully curated content and hand crafted moments that keep in line what the series is known for.
As far as the new look for Laura herself, I don’t mind it. She’s not as “beautiful” as Rise nor Shadow (Rise Laura being my personal favorite), but she’s very much still “good looking”, just… Edgier now.

I remember replaying FarCry 3 a few years ago and thinking that it was more tomb raidery than the new TR trilogy. The exploration, adventure, and there were a few cave sections that had platforming. And then I played FarCry 4 and absolutely loved it. I could see a new TR being in a similar environment to Kyrat but with more ancient temples etc. For once I am not instantly doubtful and dismissive..

Could be a cool concept finally going open world. Imagine an Elden Rings kinda Map with dungeons and adventures hidden throughout that you just find organically.
Boss Fights could be against ancient temple gods / Puzzles would be a great departure and bring new life into the series. Just don't make Laura into a woke meme.

Sigh.
Instead of an open world, could we have some tombs please? You know, in a game called Tomb Raider.

Open world. Appeal reduced.
India is interesting though.

I really liked the semi-open nature of the last 3. I feel like going full open here is going to be a negative and really water down the story from something more tightly narrative focused into something more.... mehhhhh

Hoping this will be as accurate and entirely factual a depiction of India as we got forty years ago.

Remember the 100000, OCD-inducing collectibles icons on the map in TR Rise/Shadow ?
Multiply that by 10 and you (we) will have a good idea of how this will turn out...

I'll be honest and say I didn't finish the 3rd game, did finish the first 2 though. Realistically, the first one was my favorite of the 3 but the 2nd had some great parts.

Yeah, I mean... this.Yeah no thanks, I'd rather replay a better version of this new TR less woke than CD will make the new TR and with a hotter,more feminine protagonist than the new Lara will be that's for sure...
Still one of my favourite Uncharted games. 9 hours of pure action-adventure.

No way this is going to look, play, and sound as good as Lost Legacy did, and the way that covered the India setting, atmosphere, story, and lore was already immaculate.
I'd be interested in this Tomb Raider exploring a completely different, Temple of Doom kind of India... but even then, I hope the entirety of game is reworked and upgraded from the previous titles to be good enough to avoid constant, brutal comparisons with Lost Legacy.

Have they announced Lara as trans yet or is that going to be in the sequel, tv show, or whatever cash grab they've planned for this franchise.

It's such a shame how they destroyed this franchise. Maybe one day they will just let it die alreàdy.
If there isn't a section of the game pretty heavily influenced by ToD then these devs just have no clue what they are doing!Hoping this will be as accurate and entirely factual a depiction of India as we got forty years ago.
