Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Has a Warning for Racial and Ethnic Stereotypes - IGN Daily Fix

The newly-released remastered collection for the original Tomb Raider trilogy came with an additional warning: racial and ethnic stereotypes that would likely be problematic in a modern game are still present in this collection. Developer Crystal Dynamics explained that they thought it was better to leave them in unchanged—and with a warning—rather than remove them and pretend they never existed. In other news, the action RPG Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a certified hit, selling one million units in less than a month. JRPG fans are eating good this year, with Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Persona 3: Reload each selling a million. And of course, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is just around the corner, waiting to dominate sales charts. Finally, Diablo IV is in hot water again, and of course the culprit is microtransactions.

In our segment on Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered, we accidentally used some footage of the Tomb Raider RTX Remix mod instead. We apologize for the error.

[JoshKosh]

Much better that its only a warning rather than altering the game

[CombatWombat]

We wouldn’t want to offend any cannibals that may play our game

[robf]

Surprised there was no warning from PETA since you shoot up a dinosaur.

[charmingpeasant]

That content warning makes the games sound way worse than they actually are. So goofy and unnecessary.

[dan_gerous]

A trigger warning is one thing, but that message is a flat-out smear campaign. All they had to do is stay neutral by saying "some players may find this offensive" ... But at least we have the choice to ignore it and play the games uncensored.

But that’s what tribal cannibals do? Like that island that is close to India where no one is allowed to step foot on. A missionary did and he found out.

[ADSPG]

Back in the day this probably wasn't even really an issue but thanks to the Internet now we have to hear the outcry of offended Twitter users.

[wig.snatcher]

Crystal dynamics despise classic Lara and never miss an opportunity to remind us of that.

[rosshurst]

There are literally islands with cannibalistic tribes in that part of the world.

[traveler]

""deeply harmful, inexcusable'' jesus christ lighten CD. Can we go back to enjoying media without being lectured about how anything and everything is problematic?

[BrokenNoah]

They just handed a lot of rage-bait YT channels a video topic.

[SemperSalam]

Was any offended though? Other than white women?

[JuggyBohab]

A trigger warning? Jesus this generation is so soft.

[TellMadStorys]

The real question is can you still lock the butler in freezer from tomb raider 2

[pelte]

so basically they said: we need to make money but if we alter the game it may not sell. So we decided to just put a text to virtue signal to appeal to the modern audiences and hoping the older audiences may also get the game lol

[onionknight_]

100% the people who made the OG tomb raider trilogy aren't even at crysral dynamics anymore. the people who put out this apology are just modern devs being salty. they should've put out an apology for making that Avengers game lol

[Hackeysacked]

Haha 😂 "offensive depictions" in Tomb Raider, it wasn't offensive back then and definitely not now.

We didn't know how to be terminally online and mega sensitive back then.

[gregwelsh]

It's Tomb Raider…….


While you're at it, please warn about Dinosaur attacks.

[SP_TOOP]

It wouldn’t be modern gaming if companies weren’t apologizing for and removing stuff from their games that offended less than 1% of their player base lol
