No, Tomb Raider, now by Crystal Dynamics owned by SE.

And this reimagining has much potential.

There's better sources than Sankaku fail btw.

For those of you too lazy to click my link:

- Lara is 21 in this game
- It’s not only a reboot of the franchise but a reboot of the entire brand. As a result there will be no “real” Lara model this time
- They’re doing performance capturing with this game
- There are brutal deaths in the game this time. One is described as a deranged man stabbing Lara in the chest and then closing her eyes after she’s dead. Another includes a boulder falling on her leg to trap her before another falls and crushes her head
- Crystal Dynamics won’t talk specifics on weapons but concept art shows a bow, shotgun and pistol
- The lock on targeting system is gone and it now has a free aim system. CD says that it can compete with any of their competitors
- “I think that the major difference between this game and the old is the concept of smoke and mirrors,” begins Darrell Gallagher, the studio head at Crystal Dynamics. “There was an illusion of freedom because of streaming and loading that would pop you out in a different location, but this is absolutely real. You can literally go any direction that you see and carve your own way to the finish line instead of being guide.”
- “It was important in the game to not only deliver the character arc of Lara Croft emotionally, but to deliver it in gameplay as well so the player gets to grow into a hardened survivor,” says experienced director Noah Hughes. As the game unfolds, Lara will scavenge new tools and gear that augment her abilities. Lara’s athletic prowess will also evolve. Some areas begin inaccessible due to physical limitations or scarce supplies. With the right skills and gear, however, the island is Lara’s for the taking
- There are base camps in the game. Here you can combine items to create something new and access a skill system to upgrade Lara’s abilities. You’ll also be able to use base camps to fast travel to different locations to minimize backtracking
- You’ll need to gather food and water in order to survive
- There are humans in the game, including some of the crew members from the shipwreck off the coast of the island

Oh God, I agree - she looks nothing like Sheva.

But I actually do like this new look, and I don't think they changed her completely. She looks AWESOME imo. Jeez... I need that image for my desktop for awhile so I can stare at it. xD

What's this? Pants?! That is entirely too practical for her line of work, what is Lara thinking?

Certainly intriguing, and certainly a more tasteful redesign than Dante received. Think there's room for Tomb Raider in a post-Uncharted world? I know the two games don't play all that similarly, but given the similar premise and that Uncharted and Assassin's Creed are kind of THE action-adventure games of the generation, you think they'll be able to pull it off?

Well, for one thing she still looks like Lara. She doesn't have super weaboo white hair with a ridiculous meth addled face.

Tomb Raider has always been more about exploration and puzzle solving so yeah I think they can carve out their own niche again.

I agree, apart from wishing her hair was a bit darker. She now resembles an actual human female, which is nice.

Her boobs are still....booby. Shes not exactly flat now anyway and climbing up a cliff with her old ones was a liability.

Was giving Lara a whole new face necessary?
You know, I think someone actually wrote about that. It went about something along the lines of, people tried to keep her old face but graphically upgraded it and it just wasn't working for them. So I see why they decided to redesign.

They reduced her breast size?

...FINALLY! :lol:

Dude they reduced her boob size 3 games ago.

HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW THIS
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS
:awesome:

Although to be fair, I think they were definitely improving her look in the past few games, especially in the last two titles where she was looking less like a walking hiking chunk of boob and muscle and more like a well-endowed woman who just happens to be good at puzzle adventuring.

This new incarnation is obviously leaps and bounds better though.

Her character design looks a lot like Sheva -- not in her face, but in her outfit? Yeah.

Looks awesome though.

And I also wish the pictures were under spoiler cuts so they wouldn't stretch the page. :sadpanda:

Not even in the wardrobe

Light tank top, cargo pants, simple necklace, design on the arm -- yeah dude, the outfit is similar. Outfits can stem from the same inspiration, trend, or silhouette without being carbon copies of each other.

OMG THEY BOTH WEAR PURPLE

THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON

But no seriously, I can kind of see it in the outfit. It's like Lara's outfit is a really, REALLY, vague version of Sheva's outfit. . . but that's grasping for straws kinda. I'd say mostly there is a clear difference. <XD

Weird, I never noticed Sheva had a tat before LOLOL. That's how much attention I paid to her. >_>
