“Originally, Core wanted Lara’s PS2 adventures to stretch to a trilogy of games with a supporting character capable of spawning a spin-off franchise. While the game was panned at launch it still sold in the millions and remains one of the series’ most-talked-about games on fansites. Indeed, the intended spin-off character, Kurtis Trent, was meant to have a series of special powers including a Chirugai blade, farsee, power drain and telekinesis. All these were cut, though his negative traits, a relative lack of agility and few weapons, were left in, leading some players bewildered as to why he was included in the first place. Nevertheless, he has a dedicated fansite, the Kurtis Trent Estrogen Brigade (http://www.kteb.net).
