In 'Shadow of the Tomb Raider,' Camilla Luddington crafts a Croft that rivals Hollywood

Watching Tomb Raider at the film's Los Angeles premiere in March sent Camilla Luddington careening back to the year.

If being hideous is a Hollywood standard I agree.

I haven't played the new one, is half her dialog grunting and whining again?

LucasRuinedChildhood2046d ago (Edited 2046d ago )

What? I'm not a big fan of her performance but there is nothing "hideous" about this woman. You're an eejit.

About 16% through. I think she has always done a great Lara Croft. Hope they make another one.

Adexus2046d ago

I thought she pout in a decent performance in the first two games but I'm 30% through Shadow and most of the time, she sounds bored and uninterested like she just wants to get it over with.

Her American accent keeps slipping through in this one as well.

"Her American accent keeps slipping through in this one as well"

I thought she was British?

LucasRuinedChildhood2046d ago

Her accent has never been convincing to me. It actually sounds like someone putting on an English accent. There's many times where she over-emphasizes certain words to maintain the accent and this really gives it away. She always sounds a bit ditsy as a result and it frequently drives me mad during cut-scenes. At least OG Lara (Keeley Hawes I believe) got the accent right.

MrsNesbitt2046d ago

Keeley Hawes did Legend, Underworld, the Guardian of Light
the Temple of Osiris and Anniversary so not super OG like Shelley Blond, but I agree. I thought Keeley nailed her voice.

Inzo2046d ago

Rivals Hollywood? Not really aiming high then are we.

Lynx02072046d ago

She is perfect Lara imo, much much better than Vikander (who is great actress btw, but as Lara - maybe because of the
pathetic script - she was grotesque).

Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.

FinalBoss5d ago

I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.

That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.

jznrpg3d ago

A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get

anast5d ago

I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.

shining force.

but indont see that happening unfortunately.
