Lara Croft Tomb Raider Face Morph (1996 - 2015)

[@Polskalalka1]

Classic Lara will always be the best one to me 💕

[@canalsoloparaverunvideodem8451]

When they started with reboot games, it was only the media that heralded the remade Lara as an update for new times. She was oversexualized, they said. Interestingly, girls tend to prefer the original Lara just as much as boys, and it's easy to see why. She was witty, self-assured, badass and COOL. And sexy on top of that. Then they decided they had to transform her into something else. Why? If you change something that's already perfect you can only make it worse. They sure improved the graphics, but other than that, they have the same title, and the main character is called Lara Croft, but she's some random girl that I don't care about. And the game is just another game.

[@canalsoloparaverunvideodem8451]

@@MA-yu2ss I understand your point, and I'm aware of the idea being used in these new games of showing how she got to be herself. Yet, I feel these games are just another concept altogether, the more elaborated the graphics, the more spectacular and movie-like action scenes, the more I feel I'm playing a straight forward story, to merely trigger these animations that take place. In the old games you got the feeling of being exploring, even if it was illusion and it was actually pretty staight forward aswell. I'm a fan of the very first three games, and from the newer ones I can say "Underworld" was the only one I really enjoyed (because the story was good, and the mythology involved very interesting). As to the effort of showing Lara in the making, I much prefer a fan-made level set, "Himalayan Mysteries - Full Version" by Titia Drenth (Titak). I feel she was so much closer to the original idea, the original concept of the game. She took as a basis Lara's background story from the original game in 1996 and developed a whole game from it. Amazing work. And concerning Lara's phisical appearance, I've always thought there's something that escapes most people when they go on talking about her huge boobs and all that; in TR1 character design did not aim for realism. Yes, she was designed to be a bombshell, but Toby Gard's style was kind of cartoon-like, exaggerating features and stylizing figures. I mean, her legs were also exageratedly long with freakingly narrow knees. Take a look at his character desing for a later work, "Galleon", it shows the same style (which I admire). What made TR feel real was the fact that it was a whole 3D environment and, very importantly, the fantastic work they made with Lara's super smooth movement animations, that needs to be praised still to this day. But the look of characters was not realistic. I want that. And I want an adventure game, not something that seems to be a crossover with survivial horror or war games, or trying to keep up with "Uncharted".

[@MA-yu2ss]

canalsoloparaverunvideodemierda yes I loved the old games as well, and I liked the complex puzzles and feeling of isolation they gave us while exploring. I also like the new ones, even though I do understand what you mean by them copying from Uncharted. I feel like they have gone somewhat off track of the original idea of tomb raider. Regardless I love the new games, with the exception of SOTTR because I felt like the storyline was lacking a bit...

Hey Cap junior

[@Gbtx6]

Is that not that they didn't know, but rather had to deal with hardware limitations, during the ps1 era. That defined the style of the char, and they decided to leave it as such for the most part. Going for more stylized looks requires less time adding details compared to more realistic/detailed approaches too.

The Legend trilogy is my personal favorite era of Tomb Raider.

[@skycloud4802]

I like both the classics and the Legend Trilogy. Legends brought some nice additions like physics puzzles or grappling hook puzzles. It had nicer graphics, easier controls and a fairer save system. However I think these ones were brought down a bit by a few things. •The easier transversal took away the skill involved with platforming. Legends trilogy made climbing automatic and casualised, with little sense of dread or fear. •Tomb Raiser Legends also had irritating protagonists that won't stop talking over radio. Old Tomb Raider had a sense of isolation and atmosphere, it was Lara versus the world with no moral support. • The boring on-rail sections with action set pieces were dull. Nothing more to say on that. So whilst I like both styles of games, they are going for different things. One is rough around the edges, challanging, atmospheric, and exciting. The other easier, more casual, but more relaxing when wanting to unwind after a hards day of work.

[@laracroftvideos]

I feel like they found the right balance with AoD Lara since she was still on the cartoony side, but she also looked like she could be a real person. Lara from the LAU trilogy could either look gorgeous (e.g. the CGI renders: 1:22) or in the uncanny valley area (e.g. the blowup doll look 1:28). Obviously, Lara from the reboots is the most realistic, but she's lost all the unique characteristics like big lips, fiery eyes, etc. that made classic/AoD Lara so beautiful and one-of-a-kind.

[@thesexyskywalker3283]

I think TR 2013 Lara was the most realistic while maintaining the fiery eyes and lips. It's my fav one, along with her in Rise (which is more like her actor Camilla Luddington), and looks amazing in the CGI trailers!

[@Kruukk]

@@thesexyskywalker3283 Are you kidding? Lara looks nothing like Camilla Luddington. It was a pathetic excuse to change her face to look uglier because some people complained she looked too pretty in the 2013 reboot. Have you actually seen Camilla?

@@piotrmalewski8178 I find it fascinating you say they turned a "beautiful woman into average" when the original Core design for Lara is unrealistic in the first place. (ESPECIALLY the polygon breasts LOL) Her body is unproportionate. I'm not saying she is ugly, but it was stylized in body and moves like the acrobatics to fit such a body. This is what some people love. (That includes you) However, you need a reality check if you think reboot Lara is average bc in terms of REAL life women she is absolutely gorgeous. As for changing the moves, the focus shifted away from "eccentric acrobatics" to parkour since the devs want to make it more like a... wait for it.... capabilities of a serious minded real woman. The tone is different and I admire heavily that she is like Rambo because I grew up with the 80s action heros like Stallone and Arnold and just love it when she goes all stealth and kills everyone like a Terminator.

More realistic looking doesnt necessarily mean better looking. Anyway, my favorite has to be 1:18, both stylized and somewhat realistic, beautiful middle ground.

@@Üstad_15 eh. no. i feel like the original games were made for Jolie’s face.

[@MichelleOfDarkness]

@@Üstad_15 I'm also in the minority here. Honestly, she seemed to look more like Origin Lara. That and seemed to act like her too. Personally, I think she made a better Lara than Jolie and I don't particularly care for the new TR series. I'm a classic lover, but that movie was right on. No offense to Jolie, but all I saw was Jolie being Jolie, not Lara. She might have somewhat of Lara's look, but she didn't have the right kind of attitude. All I saw was, 'this is easy. I can do this in my sleep', kind of act.

[@kahldrialeighsun1208]

That OG clarinet melody hits hard! Has it really been 25 years?! I really hope they do another anniversary issue like they did in 2006 for the 1996 original release. I absolutely loved it. It was the best of both worlds- updated graphics and game mechanics that weren't too far from the spirit of the predecessor. I would give a lot of money to be able to play the original games in a bundle on my console. Sadly I can't afford PC gaming anymore though I recognize it's the superior way to play. Good memories. I got stuck in 4 on my dreamcast forever. That dang water puzzle with the weights threw me for a loop. No Google back then lol...I feel old. 😂

[@cookiesontoast9981]

Damn, I never noticed until watching this video how big of a graphical jump it was from the Legend model to the Anniversary model..

[@ryanrandall8883]

Honestly, Tomb Raider died to me when I started playing Underworld. A good start, but something felt wrong.. not the same feel as Legend or Anniversary has. Despite that they add the characters off those two games in Underworld. (Also that Octopus was a joke!) After watching this and getting that sweet childhood nostalgia, I feel like I stop caring about Underworld because it was moving into the next consoles area. When I first saw Tomb Raider 2013, I was interested. But still to this day never played it mainly because she looks like a completely different person, and the game looks nothing like Tomb Raider. I think Underworld was the end of the original Lara Croft adventure, that I just couldn't accept.

[@Mark-yd8qc]
