Eidos: We need more 'Lara's

The Eidos executive thinks that the games industry needs more iconic characters to compete with movies, TV, and comics:

Industry veteran Ian Livingstone thinks that game developers need more character. The Eidos product acquisition director, speaking at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival 2007, told the audience that characters were extremely important not just in games, but also as intellectual properties that can then be used in other products.

Well, I have all the Laras I need and there are more than enough in that picture.

Caxtus7506850d ago

I do se what they mean. Where as we could say Agent 47, lara and Sam Fisher they have sort of died down with the exceptions of people like Solid Snake and Master Chief.

Having played Stranglehold Demo, what was with the horrible voice acting and cheesy dialouge?

Great fun game, but lacking in characters that could be "cool". Kratos is another character who i now see as iconic but more games should have stronger leads....who cares about Tequila???

MK_Red6850d ago

Good point. We definitly need more Snakes, Master Chiefs and Marios.

The funny thing is that the biggest icons of out time are exclusives, Snake is Sony's, MC is MS' and Mario is big N's.

I agree. As long as the game is as good as it sounds she will no doubt become big, but doubt any videogame charachter will become bigger than Lara was for a while yet.

MK_Red6850d ago

Good one. Nariko's more than more Laras. She has deep story and great background, is much more detailed and realistic looking and has been called Goddess Of War... I love her as well as Kai.

AWESOME. Big Daddy rocks!
I love BioShock and if Big Daddy with huge real life models and action figures is already famous. Hope BioShock sells really good (more than 5 million but unlikely in reality) and Big Daddy AND Little Sisters get the attention and fame they deserve.

Looks like I'd have to upgrade to premium. Tomb Raider: Anniversary was my favourite game. It's great to see it now available on PS4/PS5

Profchaos183d ago

I like that we got tomb raider anniversary however only one new game in the premium tier is a poor effort after so many meh months of classic additions

gold_drake183d ago

tomb raider would definitely be worth an upgrade, imo

Storm23183d ago

Anyone here play Pacific Drive? I am very interested in it.

P_Bomb183d ago

Buddy platinumed it. He really liked it. There’s lotsa modding. They also patched it for 60fps at some point.

Storm23182d ago

Seems very unique which I am a fan of, especially these days where a lot of games end up being very similar. Thanks for the response.

Remaster of a remake , which we already had a trilogy collection for on PS3. Ok.

Zenzuu235d ago

Not everyone has a PS3 or got the chance to play these games back in the days. This collection, is a good thing for those who wants to play it on modern platforms or those who missed out on it.

jznrpg204d ago

It has trophies so I’m in

CrashMania235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

This is most likely a PS2 classic rather than a remaster.
