Crystal Dynamics takes over Tomb Raider franchise

[raystorm]

Looks like Eidos had enough of Core with the Tomb Raider franchise and despite Angel of Darkness selling well they are giving the franchise over to Crystal Dynamics. This could be a great move as I love the Blood Omen/Soul Reaver titles. Maybe CD can fix this franchise up with some great new gameplay, acting, story..etc..all the stuff I love about the Blood Omen franchise.

Here's the link to the story:

Eidos/Tomb Raider news...

Holy hell, this is awesome.

They should've axed Core long ago. I mean, I never like to wish bad on someone like that, but Core is so utterly talentless.

[Tain]

Excellent news.

Yeah, but come on. The first TR wasn't bad.

...Even if it was, what, seven years ago?

[Yoshi]

I still can't figure out what happened to the Core that supported the Sega CD with gems like Soul Star. How did they fall so far?

[Kidnemo]

I thought the first TR was great.

I haven't played it in years though...nostalgia could very well be clouding the ole memory.

[Despair]

Great News indeed. New developer needs to try its hands on the TR franchise, and I think that the series will benefit from this move.

TR:AD could have been a good game(graphics, story and action is there), if not for bad controls and bugs

ahhh soul star. one of my all time favorites. you and me both lizard....you and me both.

[Glass Joe]

Wow, this is great! I loved TR 1. It was an amazing game. I would like to see CD take the SR2 engine,spice it up, and make a kick ass TR game like the original. Everything that came after part 1 just never made it back to the greatness that of the original. Not to mention that TR:AD totally sucked balls!!!

[FX]

Excellent news.

Yeah, but come on. The first TR wasn't bad.

TR followed the "movie formula"

TR1: Good.
TR2: Slightly better, but still the same thing.
TR3: Okay, at best. Same formula, but it's gotten old.
TR4: Why are they still making sequels?
TR-AOD: .................

Honestly the merger isn't going to do a damn bit of good because both of the companies suck ass.
