It's interesting...Toby Gard mentioned that they were inspired with PETER JACKSON's KING KONG - without a doubt that game had massive enviroments and I'm not suprised they'd kinda be inspired from that

And a yeah from the otherside of the form, a member also kindaly translated from an article (not sure where it's from exactly but here

The screenshot is stunning!! There is also a smaller image of Lara which s almost a carbon copy of the original Tr1 cover, it also suggests that Lara's facial features are more realistically proportioned.

I was happy to read the translated article, as I'd far prefer a re-conception of the original game than one that was identical to it in every way save graphically. It will make it more interesting for fans like us, who know the original inside out, and will hopefully give the game a longer lifespan, provided CD have addressed the flaws on Legend.

Certainly visually, it's looking beautiful. I can't wait to play it, and we can only hope that the entire issue of the magazine provides us with a few new shot and more information.

I won't comment further on those assets, except to say that I think the days of those being her most famous feature are long gone. It's all about realism now, and rightly so...

First, people complained that her chest was too big in Legend. Now, it's too small! lol

I'm not complaining at all, I think she looks as beautiful as ever. The past decade it only changed subtly, I guess that's why it looks odd.

But you can expect complains about that. Heck, there have been complains about everything you can imagine in Legend. Just because it does not bear the "Core" logo.

well really this page doesnt says much,.. just that in the 96 lara was born, and 10 years later its a good year once again,... and that like peter jackson did with king kong,.. this tomb raider is not a mere copy,.. is more than that,.. which freaks me out, because,.. peter jacksons king kong, is such a crap movie,,... i hope this game has nothing to be with the peter jackson movies, (i know in the story line it doesnt) but that movie is full of things he may thought ppl would like,.... like funny faces, and a close to talk big ape full of feelings,.. what for?... lots of dinosaurs and even more cliches,....

Who the hell cares about her breasts?! I don't! (Obviously other people do...) But honestly - get over it. It's not like they're real.

It really shouldn't matter what she looks like.

Lara's ingame assets looked about the same size as they did in Legend, so l would not worry about one tiny little rendered pic
