Tomb Raider/Legacy of Kain/Hitman/Kane & Lynch/First Light - Timeline

[Megatron]

why is this on the timeline? Checking it it seems like it's just out of universe information on the production of the game. Unless there's something I'm missing

There's a comic inside It.

I have to thank you tho, the comic Is in issues 47 to 50. I'll have to update this when I'm back home.

Are you including Tomb Raider Reloaded? That one doesn't really fit because it has characters from later entries but it's adapting TR1. Also in the Lara character biography you have near the start of the viewing order implies the Revision series can't be canon, it lists all the schools Lara went to and none of them are Croft Academy from Revision unfortunately

Speculationon: It may be that Lara was expelled after this exploit and moved to Wimbledon High School for Girls.

from one of the timeline's inspirations for this thread.

And yeah I'll be including the adaptations aswell

Even if she was expelled wouldn't Croft Academy still be on the list of places she was educated at? Unless that counts as the private education or whatever that's listed first

Since you have the timeline go level by level does that mean when you add Relic Run you're gonna add each individual level of all 120 levels the game has? That's gonna be very tedious haha

Honestly this is a problem with timelines in general when you have to add a mobile game. Because most canon mobile games still have like a billion levels annoyingly (usually not even getting a proper ending)

It'd never happen in a million years but it would be really cool if Tomb Raider had a crossover with Pitfall seeing as it's the most classic and well known "explorer" type game. Pitfall Harry (or Pitfall Harry Jr) could come out of retirement and help Lara with a final expedition. You could even use environments and enemies from his games in a semi-realistic style

for me it would be cool (but Ik Impossible) that all these explorers: Pitfall, Lara, Nathan were all inspired by Indiana Jones' adventures from the 1920s to the 1960s, that would be also a cute meta reference.

Yeah. Personally I'd leave Indy out because it'd make this universe a little too big. Especially when you bring in all the SEA Disney Parks connections lol

I think a 3 way game between Pitfall Harry, Lara Croft and Nathan Drake could work. I'd make it multiplayer similar to Mario & Sonic. Have each player play as a different explorer and you have to compete to the end of the level to get the relic they're hunting for. Other side characters can cameo, run shops to sell you items, and be villains

I have a bad feeling they're gonna decanonize the games that have never been ported (the gameboy trilogy mostly, but also Osiris Codex), and the comics and novels

as for this, I wouldn't worry too much, I already have a list of all the media in order, I just need the years, and this book can give us finally the canon dates.

After that, adventures that aren't told they could still placewithin that timespan, as the difference of time between the adventures is the same.

True. I'm just worried the book could go out of its way and say something like "this list of games are noncanon and are just myths made up by people in the Tomb Raider universe" or something

if they do that I'll just ignore it (not the book, just this section). If they don't consider them, it means that it wouldn't change anything if we add them or not. So I'll add them anyways.

Are you including Lara's licensed (I think?) appearance in Totally Spies?

nope, she was an hologram, not real her. Tho you could say that TS is canon.

NO NO NO HOLD UP!! You can't just reveal this and leave me hanging!! I need an explanation!

Nice to see a fellow TS fan.

Anyways, She was basically an hologram to guide the girls on a Mission.

Admittedly, I haven't seen the show in years, but I remember it thanks to the whole "animated fetish cartoon" meme that people paint it as.

Got a picture?

View attachment 4747

Maybe just that episode can be added, in that case?

 

[user 16960]

Actually iirc I think Lara is just a video game character in TS... It's been awhile I might be misremembering

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Oh.
