GamesRadar - How Tomb Raider's bloody brutality tells her story better than any cutscene could.
Crystal Dynamics have a nearly perfect Lara Croft blueprint for Tomb Raider 12 thanks to Netflix’s Survivor and Legend characteristics.
What's gonna suck?
This is an opinion piece that has zero bearing on production of the hypothetical 12th installment of Tomb Raider.
The animated Netflix series is a sequel to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Also, Netflix distributed this show, the company uses external production companies for most of its content. The show doesn’t provide a template for Crystal Dynamics [who was credited in production of the show], the Lara in the show is the one from the 2013 reboot series, and wasn’t reimagined for the show.
A perfect buleprint to be considered for awards you mean. Yeah, this will pander perfectly.
"To continue to be involved or to be involved in another way with [Lara Croft] would be an absolute dream and also a responsibility I would take seriously given how beloved and known she is…" the Marvel star tells GamesRadar+.
live-action Atwell? ... during early 2010s she would've nailed it ... but now ... dunno man
I know what you mean, but I wouldn't be opposed to seeing her play a slightly more mature version of the character. She's only 42 so still fine for all the action scenes.
The series is an abomination, and if she had anything about her, having read the script..... she should of declined.
It sounds like you are just mad the show Lara's bosom is not as big as your triangle titty delusions.
Lara is a fullblown lesbian crybaby in the anime, another character that was completely a ladies man has been made gay and is now her bff moral support, surely we only care about her tits instead of character development.

All you chuds care about is sexuality and gender, it's hilarious. You've turned into the SJWs you've targeted and hated, getting triggered by anything and everything 🤣 https://i.imgur.com/dMBfwtF...
Okay I didn't know that but what about the rest I said?....Lara was one of the strongest most badass protagonist in gaming and now she just cries half of the show. If that's a version of Lara that you want, more power to you, it's not for me.
and you care only about others caring about boobies. The only one who is talking about her tits is you my man. He said something about script and you started talking about her boobs.
The classical "you're just triggered" argument so you don't have to reply anything substantial and just say that, that's the sign of someone losing a discussion and not knowing what to say.
The most sickening part of all of this is not even that the IP is getting gutted not to be inclusive, it’s ONLY done so to be considered for awards and a funding for the next project. That’s it. It’s as pointless as a fortune 500 company virtue signaling during pride month. The bottom line is they will do the compliance dance and shell out anything to continue the cash flow, Just like the willing this VO actress people are fanning up to ^.
Also, who give a 7uck what the voice actress thinks or what she’s doing? This site is about games., not voice actors day dreams.
The arrival of new Tomb Raider merchandise has offered a closer look at the updated Lara Croft character design.
Im going to miss the new lara croft design, i hope they don't change that much from the last game.
Plot Twist, this is what happened to Nathan Drake after Uncharted 4.
I kid, I kid. :)
Man… her face gives me the heeby jeebies. I hope she looks better in game.
Yeah, most real hero...
*spends 15 minutes struggling to defend herself, and then killing her first person
"Ermagawd, I just killed someone. I feel so ashamed. How could I do that?"
*spends the next 5 minutes slaughtering 20 people in a row like it's nothing.
When is Gamesradar.com going away? Didn't they just get the ax?
I don't agree Lara Croft is more real than every other current-gen character, but it's definitely a huge step up from what I remember of her character from earlier games.
If nothing else this is excellent example of an origin story reboot, and so far it's my favorite game of this year, which is saying something for me as I hated the earlier tomb raider games.
I disagree with Tomb Raider (2013) coming and doing all these amazing things for the industry. There have been several females leads after the ps1 version and before Tomb Raider (2013) that were strong and likable women. I don't agree that a character NEEDS to be realistic to be likable and relatable.
Look at Spiderman and Ariel (Little Mermaid). Peter goes through a hellish life, but people like spiderman more than Peter. Both of his personas are also human and the events, as supernatural and weird as they may be, does have some relatable basis that people like. The Litter Mermaid is a mermaid that's a rebelious teen that goes out and does crap, yet people relate to her too.
It's not how realistic a character is that makes them appealing, it's the message they convey and follow. Lara and the other characters are heroes that do good things and are typically independent and strong characters. At the end of the day,those characters save people and do the right thing. THAT is what I think people like about characters, not because they're just "realistic". People find Sonic the hedgehog, Ash Ketchum, and megaman relatable too! It's the message of confidence and strength that people like, not their realistic stuff.
Alis (phantasy Star), Samus Aran, Joana Dark, Shanoa, Bayonetta, Faith, were all pretty pretty relatable and likable IMO. then there are the several female side characters that people love, such as Tifa and Yuna, or Zelda.
Lara Croft isn't the center of the world...
'While Tomb Raider’s combat model borrows Uncharted’s seat-of-the-pants chaos, it plays it straight for real drama rather than comedy. And where Nathan Drake’s knockabout, surviving-by-the-skin-of-his-t eeth fighting style is often a smoke and mirrors effect embellished by Nolan North’s various yelps and stumbling mocap actions, in Tomb Raider the closeness of well-organised death is a constant, very real threat'
You see this is exactly what Yatzee was talking about.Drake's danger was very real and so was his hurt and his pain but like he said Drake's pain is to laugh at and Lara's own is to be admired. Drake is not a strong gifted guy he is a joke but Lara is a strong gifted woman because she reacts to danger differently then Drake.We have to admire her because she is a woman who overcomes a bunch of men but Drake is just a goofy person who according to people murders people and therefore is a not a nice person and more of a villain despite the fact that he was killing butchers who slaughter people.But blowing the brains out of her tormentors doesn't make Lara a cold blooded murder but instead makes her a person to be admired because she survived.But Drake surviving his ordeals is not impressive because he reacts to it differently.
Drake's near death experiences are not 'real' threats despite him coming close to death tons of times but people are trying to make Lara's ordeal more real when it isn't any closer to reality then Uncharted is.In short Drake being shot, punched, beaten, almost dying from the cold, burned, blasted etc. is a joke while Lara's ordeal is 'real' and to be admired of course conveniently tossing aside how not real it really is.Because Spiderman makes jokes while he fights does that make his situation or danger any less real then Batman's because he faces Venom about to eat his head with a joke rather then say something depressing or anal like Batman does.Her atmosphere was different from Drake's because she was trapped on an island as opposed to him traveling around the world. But she wasn't more real then anyone else ever was.Two heroes are not more real then the other because they react to danger or a situation differently.
It all breaks down to don't sneer at Lara's orgasmic panting, and Nancy Drew/Kim Possible attitude or any laughable dialogue because she is being 'real' but it is okay to constantly point and laugh at Drake crawling through the snow with a hole in his side because he isn't 'real'
