    better than I expected... at least the tits are almost human size now.

  • Teeth #2 7 years ago

    These screenshots are too small. They changed her face, odd. Agreed about the breasts, though they seem to change size daily anyway.

    New Lara r0xx0r5!

    Massive assets!

  • UncleLou #5 7 years ago

    Quite like the new chest design, looks natural, and the combination of the low-cut top that would reveal a lot if it wasn't for the white bit is rather nice.


    I don't sound obsessed, do I?

    They needed to change her face. She looked like some kind of hideous freak! :-)

  • Teeth #7 7 years ago

    Good point, well made.

    Improvements are much better, but the top half of her body is out of proportion to the bottom half

  • Nikanoru #9 7 years ago

    The Tomb Raider character/enemy models have always been some of the most hideous in the industry, throughout the series.

    This time it looks like they've done a lot better. Anyone know if they're still employing the same artists? The lips are still rather strange looking though, way too square and chunky and ugly like they always were before. And the eyes seem ... somehow unnatural.

    Love how they also made a render of her backside. :D

    Lara is never going to be perfectly realistic in a video game - but this'll do nicely. She's looking somewhat more rounded and less cartoony... and as for the legs, well - Lara has always had ridiculously long legs. So no surprise there.

    Basically, it's still in it's core essence, Lara. But they've just tweaked the look a little to make it a little more presentable for the 21st century.

    Now, lets hope they pay as much attention to the game as they have to Lara's backside...

  • Bru-Man #11 7 years ago

    Doesn't look quite right - her left hip (and arse-cheek) is higher than her right meaning she's leaning back on that leg with her right foot slightly out in front.
    Since her centre of gravity is more over the left leg, the top half of her body should be more over to that side instead of bang in the middle.
    Other than that it's fine - 8/10 :)

    Say what you bloody like. That's hot.

  • Stilicho #13 7 years ago

    Anyone know if the voice talent is carrying over from the old stuff?

  • ERG1008 #14 7 years ago

    I know she's not real but... great arse!

    /remembers how bloody awful the last game was & sulks.

    you guys obviously don't have a clue..

    it takes alot of guts to take an existing charcter (especially one from such a popular series) and make it better and more dynamic.

    its lara, plain and simple, and i think crystal dynamics (is that who's still doing it? i can't remember) have done lara proud...she looks better than ever, her proportions are nicer (she isn't supposed to be photo realistic remember, shes very stylised)..

    "The lips are still rather strange looking though, way too square and chunky and ugly like they always were before. And the eyes seem ... somehow unnatural. "

    this is obviously the model that will end up in the game engine (maybe not the final game, but early tests)...so a little bit of square-ness may be apperant, how ever, after all my looking, i couldn't see what you're talking about really. And those eyes are really nice, i could stare into them for hours! (a little too much info, but hey! ;P) and that little pout she's got is just yummy...

    some ppl are just way too critical, and at the end of the day, if thats all you can find wrong with it, then they've done a good job!

    im a huge tomb raider fan, and i was really sceptical about lara heading state-side and to a new developer, but like i said earlier they haven't offended me at all with lara's new look.. she looks great, up-to-date, and i just cant wait to get my hands on her again...

    now if only the game looks as good as its lead chara, then this will be one to watch out for!

    Rinoa: I don't think you get my drift. I like cartoony. But you can do a lot better than that with big lips. Lara's lips have always looked like big square slabs in her renders. This time they've improved upon them a little but the bulky flatness of them is still present somewhat, and it doesnt have to be like that, despite polycount.

    As for the eyes, well, it's more of a feeling of deadness, probably because of the lack of shine and eyelids which are nowwhere to be seen, probably hidden under that ridicilously fat eyeliner.

    In all, I suspect that they were just instructed to keep to the look of the early Lara somewhat, I believe they would've done it differently had they been given the green light to just do whatever they wanted.


    Bru-Man: No. You're wrong.

  • HarryB #17 7 years ago

    i'd hit it, if it was real, you sad gits

  • Nikanoru #18 7 years ago

    If Croft was a real person, she would look like a weirdo. Completely out of proportion.

    So would Mario, and 90% of all animated characters. What's your point?

    Oh wait, you don't have one.

  • Nikanoru #19 7 years ago

    It's not dislocated, your brain is dislocated.

  • The Old Bill #20 7 years ago

    I think it was for you.
