Would the Tomb Raider reboot have worked better with old Lara?

[Johnny Thunder]

So what would have changed if the old Lara was dropped into the same game and story? Would things really have changed that much? Old Lara has had friends on adventures, the same story would have unfolded, but we would have had a woman in the story who was as confident in her abilities as the player was capable of accomplishing.

It would be tonaly inconsistent; a 'fantastical' Lara belongs in a fantastical world and a gritty Lara belongs in a gritty world.
I don't like the reboot Lara and her world in the least bit, so I'd say hell yeah bring old Lara back, but together with her old world.
