Lara Creator Returns To Tomb Raider Franchise
KBV writes "According to Gamesindustry.biz: 'Lara Croft creator Toby Gard has joined [Eidos-owned] US development studio Crystal Dynamics to work as a senior designer on the next Tomb Raider title - marking his return to the series after leaving Core Design following the launch of the original game. The move follows reports that Gard's own studio, Confounding Factor, was set to disband after the release of Galleon - its long-delayed Xbox adventure title, which came out in Europe and North America this summer after almost seven years in development.'"
I disagree. Tomb Raider 1 was VERY successful. There were three games that saved the Playstation 1, TR1, Resident Evil and FF7. TR1 was huge when it came out, and I find it hard for anyone to say it was unsuccessful.
The PS1 port of Daikatana never came out. The N64 port did, though, and it defines the term "average". On the plus side, that version removes the computer sidekicks (except for in the cutscenes).
Oh yeah, and there was a barely-related GBC version, too. It's supposedly not too bad.
