Rise of the Tomb Raider: A close-up of Lara Croft

Lara Croft herself is a beacon of how Crystal Dynamics has shaped itself around the Tomb Raider franchise. Her archery skills and knack for obliterating vases aren’t as scrutinized these days as her performance - how she walks, runs, jumps and screams at the icy edge of a disintegrating cliff. We dwell on how snow clings to her hair, how her eyes widen with defiant fire, how she's dirtied in an environment that is essentially made for only her to explore and react to. Lara is a virtual actor on the world’s most detailed stage, making Camilla Luddington - the graceful but steely voice you hear - the role-player inside the role-player. And it needed some stunt work: to capture Lara’s trudging through stubborn banks of snow, her real-life body had to stomp over squishy foam blocks in motion-capture gear. Acting is truly the most glamorous of professions.

Best character design in reboot trilogy. Beautiful, amazing. She is iconic and best protagonist. She has evolved from survivor to Explorer.

[@bomapdich]

The best face animation so far. I think it s even better than the Last of Us

[@bomapdich]

+bob hope don't think so....

[@wackynwild980]

+bob hope I laughed my socks off into space when I read they had all this crazy batshyt detail in the game from reading my Gameinformer... I found it most funny that there was no hair-due physics or no mention on how his hair is dynamic when in water unlike it's stiff hardcore gel like properties in all the other UC games. Missed the big detail and it was right under their nose... I mean I prefer my chest hair physics to anything else anyway... xD xP

Have you seen L.A noire?

[@bomapdich]

The Warriors - Batman the game is like a thousands years old

[@francoislamar4786]

bomapdich Old but still great

This version of Lara and Nathan from uncharted 4 are the most real looking characters I've ever seen in gaming.

[@jothamsmith2658]

It was bugging me for ages why Rise Lara looked so different from the last game, then I realised: she's not wearing make-up. Which is a brilliant, logical decision.

[@minilabyrinth]

Am I the only one that feels the 2013 Tomb Raider original release was the prettiest Lara? I'm not talking about the remodel in Definitive Edition, I'm talking about the original version of the game

[@mickybyrne60]

Many people agree with you, but you have to understand that she looked nothing like the previous Lara Croft models. I know, it's a reboot but she at least has to look like... you know... LARA? To be honest, I prefer this model, she looks wayy more badass and being a badass is hot as fuck!

[@desertrose1226]

She looked Chinese.

[@HedonisticLarping]

This lara is best lara

[@Julia-yc1gp]

Love lara ❤️ I play rise of the tomb raider ❤️❤️😊

[@skybluesky1000]

Can you guys upload this in 1440p or in 4k?. It's only 34 seconds long and it wont take that long time to render and upload. :)

[@gamesandmoreAA]

Perfect features.

[@SurvivalHorrorMaster]

So damn beautiful.

[@aqib360]

Outstanding!! It looks freakin real.

[@paulzibert9985]

what is reality Jinzo?:)

[@JuLayLeeBee]

Stunning

[@QuixoticUkulele]

Lara and Nathan would have beautiful babies.

[@nextgengamerjc]

wow she looks awesome. what's the models name they used for Lara Croft

[@mickybyrne60]

There isn't a specific one, they took facial features they wanted off different models, that looked similar, but obviously more real, than the previous Lara Croft character models such as Underworld.

[@k00LGuY671]

tressfx looks better than the nvidia hairworks and impact on performance is minimal. lol

[@SwirlyJoe]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@isaacveron5151]

Amazing! :D

[@panthera2]

some body need to sculpture her in a Icon meuzum

[@hariommishrahh290]

Wish that could happen

[@robdawson2722]

I would raid that "tomb"

[@SeunDr]

Better than uncharted 4

[@fathel9221]

uncharted looks better

[@caponenheather]

+Fathel Guweda tomb rsider look better than uncharted

[@MvSly14]

Lol no

[@caponenheather]

+Martin valles yes it does the character models loook better the environment and lighting look better and tomb raider looks realistic compared to uncharteds cartoon look and washed out colors. also tomb raider 1080p uncharted 900p

[@MvSly14]

+caponenheather idk what you've seen of uncharted 4 but it has a realistic look as well. PlayStation released a video a while ago of naughty dog showing of models of drake in different lightings as well. You'll see that it looks way better than this. And simply because it's in 1080p means nothing really.

[@AnotherSonicFan2002]

Better than star Fox zero.. jk

[@OllieWales]

It's really annoying that it's not coming out on PS4 for at least another 11 months. 😡 Why does Microsoft have to buy the rights to absolutely everything? All it does is make PS players hate Xbox even more.

[@cameronf7566]

she was hotter in the first one

[@Domzdream]

I agree. I thought this model looked better (obviously, granted that this is a few years later with better technology), but I also preferred the previous model. Hotter girl!

[@mollylarson7251]

Her face looks more masculine now.

[@desertrose1226]

Nope.
