Crystal Dynamics has added a content warning to Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered flagging what it described as racial and ethnic stereotypes.

Here is the message in full:

"The games in this collection contain offensive depictions of people and cultures rooted in racial and ethnic prejudices. These stereotypes are deeply harmful, inexcusable, and do not align with our values at Crystal Dynamics.
"Rather than removing this content, we have chosen to present it here in its original form, unaltered, in the hopes that we may acknowledge its harmful impact and learn from it."

Does that mean Laura is still a D-cup? I acknowledge it Crystal Dynamics, that can be harmful to a woman's lower back sometimes. Especially when doing acrobatic maneuvers. Let us observe and learn together about this harm.
 
I dunno what ya'll are up in arms about. It's infinitely better than them changing the game or removing content.

How about doing neither, just leave it as it is, and ignore the tiny minority who complain.

I wonder if Resident Evil 5 remake will feel it necessary to have a warning too, or maybe they'll just make all the zombies white this time.

Always one to defend or give such poor posts. Is impressive.

What about do nothing instead? Shocking, I know.

You act like they are giving us options or something. 'Better than nothing'.

If this continues we're gonna be apologising for content from games released 5 years ago, because the cultural values and stereotypes are already going to be outdated.
 
Can someone refresh my memory on what sort of things in these early games would be deemed offensive to the dangerhairs nowadays (like besides Lara's healthy female body)?

You are getting dumped on but I agree, I would far rather have to look at a warning for a couple of seconds than have stuff "modernized". This trend of editing old novels, movies and other media is insane, it's full blown Orwellian.

Artistic works should be protected against this.
Anyone editing an old work of art should be required to immediately move the old version into the public domain and lose all copyright privileges on the original text/video/game. Yes this should also apply to games where content is cut in patches.
 
Played the originals, i didn't care or even notice then and i don't care now, they are great games, and their messaging is just irritating, it doesn't help anyone, wish they were in the game for Lara to shoot at lol
 
These guys couldn't resist themselves lol

Who gives a shit about a 5 second black screen? Are ya'll really that fragile?

Bunch of crybabies up in here.

Then why have in the first place?
My dude, this is a series of games with a big tits adventure girl, dinosaurs and monsters and you trying to act like a smartass kid.

Meh. It's dumb, but it's also something I'm going to immediately discard from my head once I get to the main menu the first time. Them actually changing the game to satisfy the woke outrage-mongers would be concerning. This? Not so much.

I really wish they went with the franchise name of "Big Tits Adventure Girl"

Edit: And also that should be the OT name

Great strategy… Free press coverage also places like Ree are going to call for a boycott and we know what is going to happen… This game is going to sell millions. Clever
