"Lara has become lonely at the top," further adds the script. "The beginning of this next chapter presents Lara with a quintessential adult problem; facing something too big to handle alone. On this new adventure, Lara will encounter a challenge she can only overcome with a team at her side.""

A character in a modern video game being lonely?

That can't possibly any kind of self insert!

 

[Filben]

Fuck yeah. But I don't know how many times art works for games looked fucking cool and then in-game it just looked nothing like said art work at all.

 

[kruis]

I could have bad news for you. The most recent leak for this game (which included a script for casting) had her teaming up with 2 other playable characters, and there was an implication that one of those characters would take over the franchise :

It's pretty simple. I'm not buying any Tomb Raider game where I'm playing other characters, especially not when those additional protagonists have been force inserted into the game because woke idiots demanded more representation because Laura is so white.

The game will be DOA, and then they will play stupid like they don't know why.

 

[BaldingAshCrimson]

Glad they decided to ditch the "iconic" bow and arrow.
And went back to the weapons that were ACTUALLY iconic for Lara Croft.

For the people in the comments just talking about her tits and whatever, you are all mind-numbingly boring and predictable.

 

[Synastry]

I was really hoping they stayed with the 2013-2019 design it became my favorite version of her so this is a let down.

I'll still buy the game if its good but I'll miss that version of lara.

I'm afraid of a repeat of the Saints Row reboot situation where first you had the woke devs insulting the fans for not going along with the changes to the series and then the game became a sales disaster and the studio closed soon after.

 

[SSfox]

Look trash, that's not Lara Croft, also why show this now? Trying to steal the Spot from the remaster?

This is Lara Croft

 

[Caio]

I’m sold on the T-Rex!

I was thinking the same.

 

[GymWolf]

There's also a touch from TLOU 2's Abby, which doesn't hurt.

Joel's skull has something to say about that.

 

[Jesb]

Previous reboot she looked much better. I don’t know why you gotta keep changing the face up. Just stick to one look. I like how the character of Leon looks mostly the same.

She has to look strong wahman. Very angry, too. She's angry at capitalism and climate change.

 

[Operations66]

Very manly face. Is that tranny Lara? I’ll pass.

 

[Senua]

It's just concept art you drama queen

 

[PatientGamer]

Is she still going to make orgasm sounds when she gets hurt, as she did in the previous trilogy?

 

[Chuck Berry]

- still hot…for now
- still has boobs in tight shirt…for now
- still wears short shorts…for now
- still long dark hair in a ponytail…for now
- still the classic akimbo pistol move…for now
- no little trans flag or whatever on the backpack…DLC add on

Fixed

What a shitty comment. There was nothing dramatic about what I said. It was 100% accurate. That’s a man face, baby! Don’t be a jerk.

 

[Senua]

Well, from your "i'll pass" comment I assumed you were passing on the game because of her chiseled features, which would be rather dramatic.

 

[RoadHazard]

So this is another reboot I guess, but more in the style of the original? Could be alright.

 

[StueyDuck]

Featuring

Is this the one thats meant to be the lesbo one with mental health issues or something

 

[WitchHunter]

Something it wrong with her face... The eyes are wierd :/

They again created a full neutral looking (onlyfans content creator-ish) character. Why can't they create a believable face for fucks sake?

 

[genesisblock]

Such a Crystal Dynamics design. This is like a random female video game protag with the Tomb Raider costume on.

 

[TheUsual]

God dammit now I can't unsee it.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Realistic sweaty crack!

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[darrylgorn]

You kids and your gyatts.

 

[Scotty W]

The fact that her classic face, which everyone knows, must for some reason be replaced every time, is just stupid.

 

[whyman]

Tits are too small.

But it's the right direction.

Nah they are perfect. You can tell the clothing is holding them tight.

In all honesty, they have nailed the look.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

Could be worse. Face is too hard though. Soften it up a bit.

 

[Kupfer]

Looks good and usable in my eyes.
We'll probably never get a Tomb Raider Witchblade comic version of Lara, but the numbnuts who think the Lara shown looks unattractive or like a man are beyond help.
I'm sure they're the same ones who were upset about Aloy's "beard".

Spoiler: Comic Lara btw is the hottest Lara IMO

 

[TheUsual]

Realistic sweaty crack!

Anita Sarkeesian is like "I'm back in business!!!!"

 

[Nankatsu]

I may be part of the small minority that actually didn't dislike previous trilogy Lara, but I gotta say this one looks miles better.

Gives OG Lara vibes.

[YOU PC BRO?!]

Her face looks waaaay too masculine. Why are western devs so obsessed with portraying women like this? I can't think of anything more insulting to a woman than the implication that femininity is detrimental to strength. We are truly living in a clown world

 

[Madflavor]

She needs bigger lips, her face softened a bit, and tits need to be bigger.

But by 2024 Western Gaming Standards, it's definitely acceptable. It very easily could've been worse. But now we have to wait to see what her in-game model looks like. Looking at the art of this model, this could tip over into Man-Face Syndrome when they transition it to a 3D model.

 

[Boss Mog]

After that shit they pulled with the remasters, fuck Crystal Dynamics and their new Tomb Raider game with a seemingly male Lara

Go check out the Crystal Dynamics website. Poke around for a bit..

It might answer a few questions.

To anyone else that thinks we're getting a hardy Tomb Raider in current day

I agree though. Dreamings good.

Don't trust Crystal Dynamics at all

Don't trust Crystal Dynamics at all

Their track record with Tomb Raider games is actually very good. Legend, Anniversary, Underworld, TR13 and Rise of the Tomb Raider were all good/great. Their only real mistake was not following up with Lara's arc from TR13 to Rise, and her character became boring.

 

[Arachnid]

She looks MUCH better. Hopefully they stick to that

 

[DAHGAMING]

Thats a bloke for fucks sake

Im glad im not the only 1 that thought that, got that male bone structure . Hope wr get a crossover with The Last of us and we get the Trans off we all deserve, Lara v Abby.

 

[hemo memo]

- still hot
- still has boobs in tight shirt
- still wears short shorts
- still long dark hair in a ponytail
- still the classic akimbo pistol move
- no little trans flag or whatever on the backpack

Looks great! What's not to love?

Yeah but the question is whether her boobs are going to get smaller every passing day tell release.

 

[Salz01]

It actually looks good. Now bring on the game play! Hope they show something at one of June gaming streams…probably the Microsoft one.

 

[Pantz]

too smoll

 

[Chuck Berry]

Just think about how amazing this is going to make to the 2013 reboot trilogy look in the long run.

Been replaying Rise and the exploration > reward loop + combat is just so damn satisfying. They wont top it. Modern western devs cant top shit nowadays.

 

[Banjo64]

That's a male

Here's the model they should have gone with:

Too much clothing. Stick her in a thong.

 

[ArcaneNLSC]

Thats a bloke for fucks sake

Tomb Raider
Featuring Larry Croft

 

[Madflavor]

Someone on Reddit touched up her face. Thoughts?
