Exclamation What Lara WILL look like in TRU

I know this is not really believable but its true.
I know someone who works with Crystal Dynamics and Eidos that is also working on the new game. He is one of those guys that make the 3d building thingy, that i really dont get.

Any ways heres a description from what he said is going to happen:

  • Lara will have hair in her face
  • She will be able to sweat and get goosebumps
  • Her hair will be shorter
  • She will be more fatter (obviuosley not fat)
  • She will have atleast 10 different outfits as an reward
  • Their will be a minimum of 5 levels
  • She will have different weapons
  • She might not have a headset
  • She might not have a grapple




Some of those sound cool and others bad.

* Lara will have hair in her face - Cool!
* She will be able to sweat and get goosebumps - Cool!
* Her hair will be shorter - Don't really care
* She will be more fatter (obviuosley not fat) - Uhm.. I guess Cool, She was
very skinny in TRA and TRL (my opinion)
* She will have atleast 10 different outfits as an reward - More :P
* Their will be a minimum of 5 levels - If each level is hudge, Cool!
* She will have different weapons - Cool!
* She might not have a headset - Bad
* She might not have a grapple - No Grapple? BAD, BAD, BAD!

Anyway: thanks for the information

Sounds good. I'm a bit disappointed about the grapple, I really loved the grapple in TRA.

At least 5 levels? Thats not very many, unless he means at least 5 main levels which are split into sections like in the other games.

Lara will have hair in her face
Good, she looks way prettier with hair in her face

She will be able to sweat and get goosebumps
Oh woah.

Her hair will be shorter
I sware I saw a screenshot somewhere where it looks as though her hair was much longer?

She will be more fatter (obviuosley not fat)
That's good, she'll look a little more real.

She will have atleast 10 different outfits as an reward
That's not enough!

Their will be a minimum of 5 levels
Are you sure thats 5 LEVELS and not five chapters/areas/countries?

She will have different weapons
Aslong as she has her pistols, I'm not bothered

She might not have a headset
Hopefully no Zip or Alister then

She might not have a grapple
Huh...? Does that mean no grapple swinging or wall running or moving metal objects around or unhooking things? Why would they do that? I don't understand...

Default My responses...

* Lara will have hair in her face - Not good.
* She will be able to sweat and get goosebumps - Awesome!
* Her hair will be shorter - Shorter than Anniversary? WTF why?
* She will be more fatter (obviuosley not fat) - Good!
* She will have at least 10 different outfits as an reward - At the very least 20!
* Their will be a minimum of 5 levels - Locations you mean? That's good to hear. =D
* She will have different weapons - Well done, Sherlock! What a freakish TR game that would be if she didn't have any different weapons (other than her pistols I assume you mean).
* She might not have a headset - Good, but I am still not happy about Z and A since they do still have rolls.
* She might not have a grapple - OMFS that's great news!

I agree with Atheist, I thought her hair was longer from the look of some pic.
@ Atheist, I believe that Alister and Zip will still be there, but they must only be at her manor.

Wasn't she using the grapple on one of the screenshots?
And if the newest info on locations is correct, there certainly will be more than 5.
1. Mayan ruins
2. Mesopotamia
3. Australia
4. Rome/Vatican
5. Easter Island
6. 'Golden Triangle' whatever it is;p

The Underworld is also a location, right?
So there will be atleast 7 locations
Or am I wrong here?

Cool

This is true, they may change things and what info we are getting may not make the 'final cut'. But as it stands:



* Lara will have hair in her face
Great, I like her hair in Legend
* She will be able to sweat and get goosebumps
That is fantastic
* Her hair will be shorter
It doesn't look shorter in the screenshots I saw
* She will be more fatter (obviously not fat)
She was a tad too slim before.
* She will have at least 10 different outfits as an reward
Yes! although more would have been even greater!
* There will be a minimum of 5 levels
I've counted more as it has been pointed out before. Maybe we'll have more than one level per location? Wonderful!(I hope)
* She will have different weapons
Different weapons than we already know she has had in the past or just different to pistols? Like of course...
* She might not have a headset
Hmm, interesting, I hope this doesn't count Zip and Alistair out completely, even though they were annoying at times in Legend
* She might not have a grapple
Really? That's disappointing. I might not like it all the time, but it was a useful tool.

I don't see how they can remove the grapple. That will mean getting rid of the wall run that they have just introduced and are so proud of in Anniversary, no more grapple swinging (which was another big addition to how Lara gets around that was only just introduced in Legend) and we won't be able to use it for unhooking things or pulling things towards us.

Why would they do that...?

If these five levels are laid out like it was in Legend where each level was roughly between 30 minutes - 90 minutes, then I would rather go buy an original. They need locations and sublevels in each one instead of playing through one location within 30-90 minutes. I'm glad that she will be using different weapons, but will it be like in the originals or like Legend where she could only equip two at all times? If it's two -

SHE HAS THE GRAPPLE, I've seen a pic with it/saved it to my comp, so I know. So unless the game gets changed from the original (Which they usually do though) she WILL have it =]

* Lara will have hair in her face - Meh. Does not make a difference to me either way.
* She will be able to sweat and get goosebumps - Meh. I don't see how this will affect gameplay....
* Her hair will be shorter - Meh. Does not make a difference to me either way.
* She will be more fatter (obviously not fat) - Um, I thought she looked perfect in TR:L and TR:A
* She will have at least 10 different outfits as an reward - More!
* There will be a minimum of 5 levels - Presuming that means "areas", good.
* She will have different weapons - Good
* She might not have a headset - How will she communicate with Zip and Allister then? (No Z/A = )
* She might not have a grapple - I think the grapple adds a nice element to the game. Hope it stays.
