The images of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft have been circulating online and the one thing that stands out is the classic look. It's a bold decision to go back to the original source material for the show, especially since the look was considered outdated even before the first movie was released.
However, amidst all the excitement, there are still lingering questions. Will the games follow the same path and go back to their roots? The remake of Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis seemed to have an old-school vibe, but it was hard to tell from the trailer. Will the game have the traditional grid movement? What about the platforming style and combat? These are all important factors that will determine the outcome of the game.
Another significant question is the portrayal of Lara Croft. Will Sophie Turner lend her voice to the iconic character? And more importantly, will she have the same witty and charismatic persona that we all know and love? With the game set to release this year, there's a lot of anticipation and high hopes for it to be the ultimate reboot that the series desperately needs.
Moving on to other gaming news, the recent explosion at Rockstar North's offices came as a surprise to many. At first, it seemed like a far-fetched idea that someone had intentionally caused the explosion. But as more details emerged, it became apparent that it was just a boiler explosion. However, with all the ongoing controversies and protests, one can't help but wonder if this will lead to another delay in the release of their games.
Speaking of delays, Nintendo's approach towards Animal Crossing: New Horizons has left many scratching their heads. The game was well-received and sold millions, yet Nintendo decided to stop supporting it so soon. This has led to speculations about the future of the game and whether the same fate awaits any potential sequels. And for what reason? Is it to make way for a new version of the Switch in the future? These questions have sparked a debate, and many are hoping for a Nintendo Direct in February to clear the air.
In other news, the leaked footage of Project Blackbird had everyone talking. The fact that Phil Spencer couldn't stop playing it until it was eventually canceled speaks volumes about its potential. It's a shame that the leak didn't include any gameplay footage, as it would have been interesting to see how the game would have turned out. The vertical city concept in Cyberpunk 2077 is something that hasn't been explored much in modern games, and it's a shame that we may never get to see it in action. On a side note, we're hoping that GTA 6 will have a jetpack, but one that allows for easier navigation.
Lastly, the recent act of kindness from Rockstar towards a dying fan has shed light on their usually elusive and secretive nature. It's rare to see them open up and show compassion, and it's a reminder that behind the brand, there are individuals with hearts and emotions. It's a pity that we don't hear much from the people who work at Rockstar, and it's a shame that they've become a faceless entity. But maybe that's all part of their business strategy. And as for Marathon, the lack of hype surrounding it is concerning, and it may be the end of Bungie if it fails. It's a sad turn of events for a company that started off making a name for themselves with a game on Mac and went on to create iconic titles like Halo, Destiny, and now, a remake of their first game, Marathon. The End.
The anticipation for Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis is palpable, as fans eagerly await the release of this mysterious title. The latest letters page on Tuesday has sparked a lively discussion about Rockstar's recent actions, with one reader expressing skepticism about the future of Marathon.

It seems that third time's the charm for the Tomb Raider franchise, as the first look at Sophie Turner as Lara Croft has left fans pleasantly surprised. The classic, old-school look may be outdated, but it's a bold decision to return to the roots of the series. Many are curious about the direction of the upcoming show, but as we eagerly await its release, one question remains: will the games also be taking a trip down memory lane? The remake of Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis gave off a retro vibe, but the trailer didn't reveal much about the gameplay.
Will we see a return to the grid movement and platforming style of the original games? The combat and stealth elements were minimal in the first game, but will they try to change that in this reboot? And of course, the biggest question of all: what will Lara be like? Will Sophie Turner lend her voice to the iconic character, and will she be witty or dull? With the game set to release this year, there are many questions left to be answered, but hopes are high that this will be the reboot the series desperately needs.
In other news, the recent headline about an explosion at Rockstar North's office caught many fans off guard. At first, some speculated that it could be a fan's doing, but it turns out to be a mere boiler explosion. With so much going on at the studio, some are starting to worry about another delay for GTA 6. If the protests against union busting weren't enough, this unfortunate incident has surely affected the morale at the studio. Only time will tell if this will have any impact on the game itself.
Switching gears, it's been an interesting ride with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Despite its massive success, Nintendo has surprisingly stopped supporting the game so soon. This decision has left many fans disappointed, and now there's speculation about the upcoming Switch 2 and its future game releases. Many are hoping for a Nintendo Direct in February, as the current lineup lacks any major titles to get excited about.
On a lighter note, the leaked footage of Project Blackbird has left gamers in awe, with Phil Spencer himself praising the game. We can only imagine what this game must have been like to capture the attention of such a big name in the industry. The vertical city setting is a refreshing change of pace and has us reminiscing about games like G-Police on the PS1. With the potential for a jetpack in GTA 6, fans are excited about the possibilities for exploration in the game.
Lastly, the recent act of kindness from Rockstar towards a dying fan has touched the hearts of many. While the studio may seem like an enigma to most, this gesture has shown that they have a heart. It's a shame that we don't know much about the people behind the games, as they often remain anonymous. It's hard to say if this business decision has paid off, but it's clear that many players have become attached to the brand rather than the individuals.
In a similar vein, there's been little buzz surrounding the upcoming game Marathon. In fact, it seems that nobody is talking about it at all. The lack of attention may be due to the uninteresting artwork and unclear story. Despite this, the game has most likely cost a fortune to make and could potentially be the end of Bungie if it fails. Some even speculate that Sony may want the game to fail in order to get rid of the studio. It's a sad story for a company that has had such a storied history, from making Marathon on Mac to being bought by various big-name companies. We can only hope for a different outcome for this beloved studio.
