If u talking about cataclysm game- i totally agree- its trailer looked "modern audience" feminism up in this bitch, atlantis one aka reboot made by polish devteam will be fine.

Yep, Catalyst was pure CGI and still looked worse than in game footage from Atlantis, lol. CD game will probably be full of propagand, I hope I'm wrong because it's one of my favorite series...

Spoiler

But at least we get proper TR game next year!

Face it you guys only like porcelain plastic surgery south korean wannabe whites.
And Sydney Sweeneys tits.

I think we are all universally agreed on liking the Atlantis model for Lara. Why not just use that same model for Catalyst? People that are at peak fitness with exercising and nutrition, appearance do not change that drastically in even ten years. She all of the sudden goes from having a rounder softer face while being a peak athlete gymnyst to now having a sharper more angular face?

 

[Madflavor]

The other shot of her looks better, but I agree she looks like crap in the very first shot of her in the trailer. I think this might have been an outsourced CGI trailer and doesn't represent her actual look in engine, so we'll see.

How is that bad looking? Like most of you could get a girl like that lmao.

I just assumed from Catalyst's trailer that we were seeing a much older Lara, like... 50. Because I know some fit women in their 50s that are into exercise and nutrition and look about like Catalyst Lara does.

Seems odd to me that they would jump that far into the future with her age. Poor choice in my opinion. Its gonna be dumb if we find out this is her in her thirties and Atlantis is in her twenties. Lara is supposed to be peak human like Batman and Lady Shiva.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I thought she looked very fitting, very similar to how she looked in the recent games, if not a bit better.

I feel like people would've complained about Lara Croft's appearance regardless of what she looked like. It was just unavoidable. Especially nowadays.

All things considered, I thought where they landed was solid. But I guess you can't make everyone happy, but I also feel like people just love to complain at this point, lol.

 

[Saber]

I'm honestly pleasantly surprised they didn't make her look like a man tbh

Look at how far did we reach. To the point of praying a woman to be a woman.

 

[Pilsner1977]

Yeah it looks like they aged Lara a bit. If you guys thing that's ugly though.....wow. Is it because they downsized her tits? Some of you just need to step away from video games because you clearly are just looking for things to be mad at.

 

[Superposition]

I don't know what those dumb fucks who made The Catalyst were thinking, but as I said before, The Atlantis Lara is beautiful. She's already repaired the image that the previous trilogy destroyed.

 

[amigastar]

What the hell is this? Who is this person?

To me she looks a little bit like Monica Bellucci which is fine honestly, there are worse faces in gaming.

This has been my take as well. By catalyst she's clearly already a legend which means it's gotta take place well after the original series.

I showed these two photos from the trailer to my wife, who is an artist. The first thing she asked was "why did they make Lara Croft into a dude?" The size of the hands are mis proportioned for a female, as is the height of the forehead and the jaw line in the second photo especially. I asked what she thought this character's age was based solely on these two photos, she said "late 40s, maybe early 50s, but with some cosmetic surgery done". She then wondered why a game studio would be so averse to money that they'd result to butchering an iconic character and turn her into this.

 

[TGO]

She is not bad, she looks far better in "normal life" and other roles than in Stranger Things.

Her eyes are too high which in turn make her lower face looks too long, shorter face or lower eyes is the only fix.
As for this Lara, she looks overly airbrushed

That is exactly what happens and it's why a lot of people warn against buccal fat surgery, because that fat is naturally supposed to go away as a person ages which results in their facial features slowly becoming more sharp and angular.

Thats odd because most athletic people i see as they age it becomes much harder for them to keep a lower body fat percentage resulting in their faces and bodies being chubbier no matter how hard they work. Your facial skin also starts to lose elasticity with older people getting facelifts and all kinds of other procedures in an attempt to have the appearance of tight youthful facial skin.
