Tomb Raider 2 Gets Fan Remake In UE4
It ’ s just like the original Tomb Raider 2 … minus the pointy bits and blurry textures .
Tomb Raider 2 is a game I oddly have some fond memories of , specifically at a friend ’ s house . Mostly going into the tutorial level and locking the butler in the meat freezer . Oughta teach him for farting in my mansion .

There ’ s a fan made remake in the works right now , though . Made by Nicobass for PC in Unreal Engine 4 : the noble and pedigreed middleware from Epic Games . And it ’ s looking pretty damn impressive .
Sony in the Process of Buying Funimation
Yes , that ’ s right ; Sony ’ s buying 95 percent of Funimation . There ’ s probably not really any reason to worry , especially if they keep everyone there doing what they do best . Sony also helped them with their streaming platform , so they ’ ve already got a working relationship . If they can keep the people from their film division from leaving the Super Special Big Kids Fun Corral™ , even better ; we don ’ t need The Emoji Anime .
This isn ’ t Sony ’ s debut in the Anime business , either ; they own the ANIMAX network , which broadcasts in 23 countries across the world . They also own AXN , which aside from Anime , also broadcasts the sorts of content you ’ d consider typical . This acquisition does , however , angle them into direct competition with Hulu and Netflix .
“ Around the world , Sony ’ s networks have been major players in the anime space for nearly two decades , and in more recent years we have rapidly increased our networks ’ over-the-top and digital offerings to consumers . With the acquisition of Funimation , the combined IP of ANIMAX , KIDS STATION and Funimation allows us to deliver the best anime to fans across all screens and platforms .” – Andy Kaplan , Sony Pictures Television President
