I only recently started reading comics again so I don't have anything to go on beyond what she's written on Tomb Raider. Beyond the problems I already mentioned, it's pretty typical writing for a comic book. :shrug:

Simone has a really thin, vertical slice type deal with stories and characters that she does well and she's been slipping in that regard pretty hard for years. After seeing how grim and unimpressive her 'Secret Six' run got when dealing with remorseless killers and surivivalists, I don't really have much faith in her doing a good entry into this Tomb Raider reboot's niche. Who knows, though, maybe that's the kick she needs to get decent again?

If you can clear out enemy encampments using tigers and bears a la Far Cry 3 it will own.

And there's an option at launch that enables the encampments to repopulate uh huh I'm with ya :haw:

This is probably my biggest concern, but it's lessened a little with the confirmation that Rhianna Pratchett is returning for the actual game. I just really want the Solarii plot line to be done for good.

I don't think the Solarii are coming back. That's like, typical tie-in comic book type deal stuff where they use something from the prior game or include some vague link that has no impact on either game in the end.

How does the solarii coming back in the comments even make a shred of sense? Did a bunch of crazies that Lara somehow didn't slaughter follow them off the island?

To those who have played the PS3 version - was the PS4 edition a worthwhile purchase for another playthrough?
