No no no, they'll wait until the initial sales happen, then Day 1 Patch it.
It would be weird if they made her boobs shrink in the remaster
Yes, it would... like they did with Tifa.
Isn't that what they do in general? Make women flat. I'm shocked they allowed for her to have boobs and guns.
The idea behind Tomb Raider was great, Indiana Jones but hot female with dual wielding guns and shorts.
That is the typical 90s stuff, lets make the coolest stuff possible.
It was also cutting edge technology. There were very few games at the time that had fully 3D worlds that you could just run around in. The grid based geometry made great use of the limited polygons available and dovetailed in nicely with the climbing mechanics, since there were fixed distances you cover with each type of jump.
The reason men worked on video games is because they were complex mechanisms that you could play with. The sexy ladies was just a side effect
Example #1 million
Crude and disappointing as it often is, the simple fact of the matter is that money is very often an effective gauge of the reality of both human desires and the immutable laws of nature as manifested in human proclivities.
...and reality will always win in the end.
TL;DR: Get woke, go broke.
Lara has been fairly resilient to the winds of change in the 2010s. Some would say the most resilient. Even remake Lara with her sensible cargo pants is very hot, although she turned into a little weirdo in the 2nd and 3rd games.
Having an (almost) attractive face is as far as she goes. And the sex appeal is only one of the things that made Lara what she is and was removed.
Her face was fine, her body wasn't. She felt way too petite for the Lara we know. Oh but it isn't the Lara we know and she's not even a tiny bit as cool as Lara in the old games. Really makes me wanna replay them, too. Did finish 1 a while ago.
This is the correct answer.
I grew up there, I like petite on characters who are like that, I like big mommy milkers on characters who're originally that, also. You can like both, it is a spectrum, not a boolean choice.
That's a weird say of saying you prefer skinny fashion models just like the homosexuals.
Almost lol? I would kill for a girl like remake Lara. That's from Shadow of the Tomb Raider when they slightly nerfed her too.
Not going to argue about her personality though. I thought they were planning to develop her toward the original in the 2nd and 3rd games, but instead they wandered off into a cross between Lifetime and Apocalypse Now.
I'd like games 1 and 2 a lot more if they gave me a New Game+ to enjoy all the upgrades as opposed to the extra missions they threw out.
Never picked up 3 - was a little worried about it, and what little I heard justified that decision.
I actually forgot those games don't have NG+. Shame. Shadow was heavy on the QTEs and just felt shallower and even less focused than Rise.
My biggest problem was that Rise of the Tomb Raider was literally just a Rambo game with Rambo replaced with a neurotic and annoying iteration of Lara Croft.
I always said that would have been one of the greatest action games ever made if it were Rambo in Honduras or somewhere in Central or South America fighting against some rogue militia/coup, utilising all of the mechanics from that game. They added the survival elements that you didn't really need and had no reason to explore, and the nu-Lara was never believable with her melee attacks, as it would have been far better if you were playing someone depicted as physically capable, which they didn't do with the remakes.
The only reason it was decent as a Tomb Raider game is because it had really solid mechanics and was attached to a longstanding brand. But everybody missed the boat on that one because they essentially architected the perfect Rambo game without Rambo.
I mean, nu-Lara was hot too. It just so happened that her looks were more or less the only good thing about her character, that's all.
The OG version looks actually sexualized, unlike the remastered which just looks like a more endowed woman (I think it's the smoothing out of the flow from breast to stomach)
Feminist game "criticism" that you're a bad person for opposing
Her face hasn't aged as well as her boobs.
