In one of the funniest stories circulating the gaming world right now, it appears as if the media has gone nuts over the apparent "breast reduction" undergone by video-game vixen Lara Croft. After becoming the new owners of the series, Crystal Dynamics set out to change Lara Croft so that she could be accessible to more people in the gaming industry. In their research they found that most women were uninterested in Lara, due to her unrealistically proportioned breasts, and sexual explotation by former developers Core Design. When asked about their decision to change Lara's image, brand manager Matt Gorman commented, "The days of selling Lara as boobs and guns are over." Now in an attempt to regain interest in the female fans that have long since depised Lara Croft's fake, plastic image, Crystal Dynamics have reduced Lara's breasts from an unconving DD size to a more modest C. In addition to the breast reduction, Lara's figure has become more human (world's longest legs aside) with her thighs, waist and other areas filling out to better compliment her new breast size. Lastly, Lara now wears more classy clothing that doesn't show off her breasts (this includes a khaki top with a white sports bra, as well as a blue sweater and long pants that she wears for certain parts of the game). Crystal Dynamics hopes that these small changes will make Lara Croft more acceptable to female gamers of the world, winning back a portion of the fanbase that has been long gone since Tomb Raider 3 and on.

mee too, expext it already started, so its even more scarey.[/b][/quote] *Me *Except *Scary :whistle: Anywaaay, yeah Lara Croft still looks pretty hot though.
I find it hilarious, because she's the first video game character to get a boobjob. And go ahead, rip on me..you'll all be banned by the day's end. Just kidding, you losers.
Well Core (former makers) used to have to make a nude model to put clothes on. That's at least the rumor.

Man, i bet whichever guy got stuck with that job didn't mind doing the late shift. [/b][/quote] Hahaha, this reminds me of the IGN interview. The guys at IGN made joke after sexual joke to the producer while talking to him about "Legend", and the poor guy just took it in stride. For the record, I think the nude thingy was only done for the shitty Angel of Darkness to make her body more realistic. Of course Legend is so much more different then any of the games. But then again, nobody will probably know this because Core released so many shitty sequels that TR is a joke in the gaming world. But if anyone wants to give it a chance, you can find complete E3 info on it here.
I know there's another thread for this, but anyway, i can't wait for the game. It's looking really good, is there any speculation on how linear the game will be Derek? It's good to have threads like this anyway :wth: , it helps retain interest.
Yeah screw official threads, there's never enough replies to keep them bumped. According to Riley (check the IGN and Developer Interview for a good example) this game will be not be near as linear as the previous games were. There's several ways (sometimes more than 3) for you to solve a puzzle or activate a machine, and it looks like the areas will be very large for you to explore. I'm pretty knowledgable on this game so if you're curious about anything just ask in this thread or the other. For the record, yes the environments are destructible, and all enemy weapons are capable of being picked up. However, as a new hint of added realism Lara can only carry two large weapons at a time, although she will always have her trademark pistols.
Oh man..they just released some new screens and concept art from PLAY magazine. THIS GAME IS GONNA ROC-.....well we gotta wait until Winter to be sure. :whistle: == Lara On A Rope One of Lara's Many Idle Moves (I saw a few in the trailer) Ducking For Cover Concept Art (Location Unknown) Enemy Concept Art ^^ I cant wait to fight that thing.
