She is around 5'7 or 5'8.
Though tigers are enormous.
I've seen tigers in person. They aren't THAT big.
CD over exaggerated a little too much.

But show me a picture with an average sized human and a tiger, side by side, then you have yourself a case.

According to the guy, Nigel Marven, these tigers: http://www.nigelmarven.com/films/5a.jpg

... where 10 feet long (without the tail I suppose). So 10 feet, being 3 meters, is I think a good estimation for the TRU tigers length. They're just more bulkier, giving them a more massive look.

My goodness! The uzis are back! And this shot made me discover another discrepancy and a clue in the trailer that could partially solve this mesmerizing mystery the new trailer popped up. But those tigers are HUGE and CD didn't kid around with the in-game graphics either. Lara genuinely shows focus and anger when armed. This is the most advanced game ever! (and I mean EVER!)

Ayup All...

I hope it isn't TOO diffcult to target and sort those beasts out control-wise... Tee Hee.. or there's gonna be a LOT of minced Lara about ! having said that, i don't think she'd make more than a mouthful for one of them!

(Dustman where's me tigers head? 'Four-foot from his tail' ! Oh ! my old mans a dustman, etc, etc... )

Those tigers seem pretty spot on to me. I mean, tigers can get pretty large, as has already been stated verbally and pictorially, I suppose.

It's obvious that the one in the foreground is just much closer to our view than Lara is. Compare her to the one she's aiming at and that looks about right.

And those strange "objects" above and to the right of the picture? Hmm. . .they do seem strange because they look a very different texture and color than anything else in the shot. Very eye-catching. They must be something if they pop out of the environment like that. Although. . .some may not be too happy if that is true since there are those of us who are hoping for less obvious "malleable environments" like bright white ledges and colored movable blocks.

Ayup Milkduds...

After looking at your 3 pics, i'd say the scale is spot-on... normal Tigers are MUCH MUCH bigger than i thought..

Hm.. I think the tigers's sizes are fine. They may be a bit big, but perhaps it has someting to do with them being wild! Not in some kind of zoo. And CD may have made them a bit bigger to add excitement!

lol we don't have to worry, it will never happen. But those Tigers look like Lara could ride one of them if she had guts enough to try
