“I think we’re the ones putting the most pressure on ourselves,” explained developer studio Crystal Dynamics head Scot Amos in a recent Q&A session attended by TechRadar Gaming.
“As fans we know what we want […] “And everything we do is for the fans,” he continued. “We listen very carefully to our fans, the public and the players.”
“There is tremendous pressure to be respectful, but also to maintain that iconic core that has made this character [of protagonist Lara Croft] holding on for so long.”
According to Amos, the team is driven by the desire to “always be better and better every time to maintain that legacy.”
