I hope they make one for the inevitable demo of the game. :D

Now imagine her covered with scum and leeches after taking a deep in a pond in the middle of the jungle to fish out a key or something. Also, mosquito bites would really fuck up those nice, sleek legs, not to mention gangrene setting in all the cuts she'd get when running and doing acrobatics between densely packed trees.

God, ridiculous female outfits like these in games and on TV are one of my pet peeves.

It would be kinda cool to see that in-game, though. Then you can have the option to buy proper gear and whatnot. :)

Hey! This one looks like it might involve, you know, raiding tombs again! I might pick it up! This series took such a massive fucking nosedive since TR3. I, for one, would like to see a successful ressurection.

Not too bad. Why they stuck with that olive-shaped head for so long I'll have no idea.

If I recall, there was a previous small update in her look within the last few years, right?

She looks better, but I still don't see her as the bombshell of videogames the way many others do. Honestly, there are much better-looking chicks in other games.

Her Sex-Appeal-Character Shields prevent those from happening. :P

I haven't found anyone else better looking than her. I demand you supply us all with visual evidence to support your claim. :D

Yeah, so do I. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't delusional, because several years ago I recall seeing a G4 TV ad featuring an updated CG Lara model.

Indeed. Bastila from KOTORs and Cate Archer from "No One Lives Forever" games are first ones to come to my mind. They speak with British accents, too, which is always a plus.

Believe it or not, I prefer the old Lara than the AoD Lara. But now I think this new one is on par or better than the Lara of Old.

lara simply has better PR. being played by angelina jolie in 2 live action flicks doesn't hurt much either.

If they included hardcore sex scenes in the Tomb Raider games do you think sales would go up or down?

Did you forget Lara Croft is British? :D

I know Cate Archer and still prefer Lara over her. But now, this Bastila...hmm. I shall return with image(s).

Down. They'd be banned probably.
