Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 'remaking of an active franchise' kinda a legal gray area, if not worse?

As long as it's clear who owns the IP (which it is in case of Tomb Raider), there's nothing gray about it, the matter is actual very clear-cut. Either you do it with the explicit permission of the IP holder (legal) or you do it without (not legal).

Many IP holders tolerate third-party remakes as long as they aren't commercial products. There's good reason for doing so - after all, such a project is free advertising for your IP, and you can use its success to gauge the viability of potential "official" remakes in the future.

But as soon as an IP holder decides to _not_ tolerate a given project, it has to go down (or continue in the shadows), the IP holder's rights aren't questionable in this regard.

That was actually an incredibly helpful post, not in the way you might think. Thank you

You're welcome - but now you've made me curious. :)

Doesn't it also have bugs of the "save in this room, and the level is unbeatable" variety?
Also, TR3 has those green camo medkits, which blend in with the jungle. *shakes fist*

I don't know, never happened to me.

Only if you do it without the permission of the license holder. Some fan remakes actually did got "a fan license" to make the remakes and distribute them for free. But other than that, the license holder has the right to shut down any fan project if they think it violates their rights

I was helping my dad clean out his old place a couple days ago, and we came upon this bottle of stuff that we couldn't identify that he's pretty sure he got last time he went to Mexico. Anyways, in your post you mentioned advocaat and I didn't know what it was so I checked out the wikipedia page. Under the related drinks category it mentioned rompope which is apparently a drink from mexico/central america.

The contents of the bottle were a custard-y like yellow, so it just clicked into place.

Epic. :) Weird and wonderful how a carelessly thrown-in, completely off-topic term in a forum can help someone else solving a riddle. :)

Only if they also remade the nude patch.

So to be clear, is this kickstarter to beg Squeenix, or is this one of those mad kickstarters that seeks to subvert the process?

Since there is currently no such kickstarter to begin with, this question is kinda hard to answer. ;)

If someone ever tries to kickstart a 3D game with tank controls like Tomb Raider I think they'll have a bad surprise...

I think "beg for a remake" KS project would be against the rules of KS, as the project can't provide a product no matter how much they'd make, as Sueenix wouldn't be resposible of a such projects fullfillment. Also it might cause Sqeenix to take action against such KS, as it might cause larger public to see Sqeenix in a bad light, as many people would be asking "why is a big company begging moolah in KS?"
