    None of the live-action Lara Crofts had martial arts skill.

    Look at those kicks. Not only they serve no purpose, they actually reduce her sex appeal.

    Bleah.

    Except 90's grimdark actually had a color pallet beyond brown and grey.

    Plus I grew up with it so :rpgcodex:

    I wonder if someone is raped by someone underage, is it pedophilia?

    She looks like she's sixteen in that rendering. Isn't she supposed to be late 29's/early 30's or something?

    If you look closely you'll see that the guy behind her is very perturbed, and perhaps a little confused. I imagine he's wondering what he and his buddies are expected to do with her.

    regular sailors have the usual harbor whores, those on the ship always goes to the captain and lower officers.

    Wow, three pages and nobody has pointed out the patently obvious. This is Tomb Raider: Arkham.

    Frankly, it will probably be the best Tomb Raider yet. Still might be terrible.

    Also, has Lara always had brown eyes or this part of the grimdark treatment?

    Always brown. If it were changed as part of the grimdark treatment I think that blue or green would work better in the context of giving her the lost and broken puppy treatment... I don't know why.

    It would at least make her stand out from the shit filter.

    That CGI has a face like a feminine boy so they'd probably be up for it?

    Why does she have a bow

    Also what's wrong with grimdark Tomb Raider aside from the obvious franchise milking? It's one of the few videogame franchises that could benefit from grimdarkification

    And besides, the 90's did have good consequences like an entire new universe based on runs by Alan Moore and Warren Ellis, and the New Shit imploding on itself and leaving nothing of themselves behind (ie, MacFarlane and Liefeld have pretty much zero influence on comics these days) and the whole era pretty much caused the kind of backlash return to a revisioned old school Moore always wanted.

    FatCat thought that MapMan meant his pictures of Angelina Jolie, when MapMan in fact mean the game itself. Understandable misunderstanding when relying on purely textual communication.

    Defusing useless arguments before they got off the ground!

    Soon we'll be watching movies with sexy CGI actresses face-captured by Susan Sarandon.

    And when Susan Sarandon will be getting awards for her capturing work, her avatar will be digitally relayed over her actual self on TV.

    Then she will go home and the bathroom mirror will overlay her avatar over her face.

    Then she will go to bed with her husband, but he will be a robot.

    Were any of the tomb raider games actually good anyway? I'm not a consolefag so I haven't played them.
