Legacy of Atlantis Devs Tackle Yellow Paint Debate & Modernizing Tomb Raider

In the world of game creation, iteration is the backbone of progress. Developers constantly hypothesize, experiment, and refine until the final product resonates with players.

During the discussion, the team shed light on the optimal length for contemporary single‑player titles, debated the controversial “yellow paint” trend that guides players toward objectives, and explored the challenges of reintroducing Lara Croft to a new generation.

At Summer Game Fest, VGC had the opportunity to experience a 20‑minute preview of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis.

“So far, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis isn’t the most convincing prospect. It looks brilliant, and the bullet‑time mechanic is a lot of fun, but there’s certainly room for improvement. The jumping, specifically, simply has to be changed before release or it will make large swaths of the game’s platforming deeply unpleasant,” the developers noted.
