To celebrate the release of Tomb Raider Definitive Edition on the 28th, halloweencostumes.com (weird right?) has a pretty good look at Lara's aesthetical upgrades through the years from conception to definitive edition. I never knew she held the Guinness record for most detailed videogame character for TR Underworld:

Endless long post...and first response quotes the entire f'ing thing? :wtf:
Moving swiftly along I see they used a blurry pic for the definite edition. I rate the author(s) just single-handedly made a dent in the sales stats.:eek:
Interest development process. It doesn't feel as if it's been an entire 16 years of Lara.
[And I new just from the thread title that the OP would be brendanvb :p ]

I think what might dent DE sales more is the fact that it is locked to 30fps"whistling:Quote:

Clearly shows how far we have come In the graphics department a very cool illustration of that.
I'm glad I'm becoming familiar around here :p.Quote:

Did not know she changed that drastically from the first games quite a big difference and for the better :D.
First picture actually reminds me of a Mii character on the Wii/3ds lol.
i have to say that the 5th face in that line up looks the best(Legend) to me or my glasses might just be dirty :)
That and the 2013 one look hot to me :pQuote:

From the section for Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness:
"Lara's look was inspired by the Tomb Raider film, though she didn't don the shorts until the end."
I assume they are talking about the end of the movie since I don't know of anybody that managed to get to the end of the game.
The changing faces of Lara Croft
Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft has changed a lot over the years – here it’s all laid bare
She looks more real now, more feminine, fragile even. I think it's the characteristic I appreciate most about the new Lara.
I got to the end. Many times :DQuote:

I'm not a big fan of Alison Carroll. For me my favourite live-action Lara will forever be Karima Adebibe. :love:Quote:

That's the beauty advancements in graphics makes, it also helps that she was modelled after a hottie:Quote:

Is this a joke? They don't even line up. Jaw line, chin, brow and cheekbones. Those are very distinctive features that should be similar in the least.

I wonder why they didnt model any of the Laras of the Tomb Raider games from Angelina Jolie?
On the topic of metamorphosis how would you have reacted if Rhianna Pratchett got her way and made Lara gay? Yes, you read that right, TR writer Rhianna Pratchett wanted to make Lara gay and here's a link to the interview.
Personally I don't think I would've cared especially if some lara x sam (Google image search that) action took place in the game. :D Then again it would've probably been too controversial to include in the game even though they've never really alluded to Lara's sexuality in any of the previous games.
Probably because they would have to pay royalties to AJ for the use of her likeness. And the fact that Lara had a look and line of games long before AJ was cast as her. :pQuote:

Evolution has done her well, damm if she is becoming the new lara then we are going to have a hard time concentrating on the game.
Her likeness is used as the base for the new Lara but she won't become the new live action Lara. If I'm not mistaken they said they would no longer use a live model to promote the Tomb Raider games.
Thought this might interest you guys:
