What the hell did they do to Lara Croft?

Videogame characters dont need to age. Whats next? In a few years we playing Tomb Raider with lara with grey hair in her wheel chair and still doing rock climbing? Keep her young, shes suposed to be doing things only young women in her prime has stamina for. Its because NaughtyDog bad example that Nathan Drake is retired now and we lost an amazing main character, while Nintendo has been using the same characters looking fresh for more than 30 years.
Oh I agree with you, believe me.
 
Keep in mind the Catalyst trailer is CGI.
Now check TR2013 , Rise and Shadow prerendered Lara... Its a different face from ingame.
Im sure it will be the case again here.
Heck, they even changed her face for TR2013 ps4 version.
I'm going with this, The Catalyst Trailer was all CGI.
although this is project was in development for a long time, it's kinda weird that the out of the blue Remake is more along and due for release next year whilst theirs is just a CG trailer....
And as I said, she doesn't look old, just airbrushed.
The trailer doesn't even have good lipsync either unless that was just the stream.
Also the timeline is fucked up, if the Survivor Trilogy is first then Legend/Atlantis and this is set year's after.
Why did Lara dig up her clothes form the Survivor Trilogy (10+) in Catalyst 🤔

For me it's the way they did her body proportions. She doesn't have the female hourglass shape. Her hips are flat and narrow which just looks super weird to me. Look, I live in an area with a high trans population so... yeah you kinda learn what to look for unless you're the kinda guy who likes having the surprise dong slap you in the face when you're pulling off her panties with your teeth.
 
Easy fix

Probably just the CGI
The game is over a year away, hopefully we get a Sonic the Hedgehog style reversal like this from the studio, but I'm not holding my breath

While I technically agree with your take about Tomb Raider, I don't agree with it about Uncharted.

Call me old fashioned but I think it's okay for a series to just...end 🤷‍♂️

I think sometimes companies like Nintendo make us forget this.
 
She looks fine, the only main concern here disappears when you see the in game assets...

There clearly not the same and CD probably was responsible for the artwork

I don't see anything wrong with this at all and just hoping this image is from the game itself.
 
Liked everything I saw except her appearance, but of course if your main point of reference is pixelated 90s art, there's some room for differences here. I thought Jolie was the closest we've ever gotten to the original vision.
 
Oh no guys, she's ruined! Why can't she still look hot like her first game?!!

This is still one of my favorite low polygon models from console generation 5. Especially the extra chunky Sega Saturn model. The 10th Anniversary Tomg Raider remake model looked pretty good for the time too. I also liked the much more recent remaster model as well.

But the original is iconic in the same way that the Super Mario Bros. 1 sprites on the NES are iconic. Or Sonic's original sprite.

When you compare her to some of the OG promotional renders, I thing she fits the bill rather well. Plus I think Jolie really captured a lot of the personality on classic Lara. Going with darker clothes was really more of a trend that Hollywood movies from the time were going for. Even went far enough to put herself in better physical shape. Too bad the second movie was trash.

I remember the speculation from various gaming magazines back in the day over who should play Lara Croft in the first movie. The go-to choice was always Pamela Anderson.

No, I dont want a pornstar. I want Lara Croft to look like Lara Croft and not a random indian chick. She looks great in Atlantis, but terrible in Catalyst
Maybe they got confused when they said she was English..
