Lara, Indy, Nate and Our Need for Virtual Adventure
From Indiana Jones to Lara Croft and Nathan Drake, the academic-adventurer archetype is alive and well. Check out Stephanie Carmichael's article Bringing back Tomb Raider: Our need to fill the old archaeologist's shoes on VentureBeat, in which yours truly is liberally quoted. ;) If you have a chance to read it, I hope you'll post a comment to let me know what you think. I know not everyone will agree with me on some points.

"A Tomb Raider reboot is scheduled for next year."
ReplyDeleteWTF! WTF! I thought it was this autumn..
@Rebecca: Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but they announced the delay last week. It's the subject of my previous post.
ReplyDeleteOh, how could i have missed that on..?
ReplyDeleteExcellent article and congrats on being quoted! They at least knew you were an excellent source to go to!
ReplyDeleteI disagreed with the comments about AoD, although it's controls got a bad press, I really liked it. I also liked the fact that the old games allowed me to save my position at any point in the game. when that was taken away I started to loss interest.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Eidos's own lifetime sales data shows that AoD far out-sold Chronicles which in turn just outsold Anniversary. In fact AoD sold almost as well as Underworld which was out sold by Legend.
