Legend was the first time in the series when Lara actually looked wet after coming out of water, from her skin to her clothes gradually drying up. It was really impressive at the time, especially on PlayStation 2.
Yeah they intentionally made the character less and less attractive. An absolutely foolish choice, any one could have predicted the loss of sales from this decision.

TR: Legends will always be my favorite. I still remember the one mission where you need to infiltrate the party. The amount of time I spent as a kid taking everyone out and then restarting just because it was that cool using the dual pistols will never be forgotten
It was developed by another studio (Eidos-Montreal) because Crystal Dynamics was working on Marvel's Avengers. Eidos-Montreal went with a different, more saturated and slightly cartoony art style. The spec map in Lara's face is less detailed like everything in the game. Less polygons in everything, probably because they wanted to cut some edges due to performance, not 'wokeness' like some people said. The game looks overall less realistic.
Although i think you are right in terms of political speeches influencing game market, I find the modern designs to be totally acceptable because it is going down on a more realistic and less styled esthetic. I don't find it as problematic as what they did to TLOU storyline.
With most of these comparisons I prefer the design of 2013. But what's with being wet and still dirty as hell in both 2013 and 2015? Now i'm leaning towards underworld in general.
@@UnKnown-hp9gz they made her look basic to appease all the female gamers and female activist who are against sexy female characters. Just look at the difference between Lara Croft from Underworld to 2013.
2008 not only is the most beautiful model, but also she really look like a goddes, and is bc of the divine proportion used in his design. in normal humans (all of us) our head heigt "enters" 6 times in our total heigth, if you wanna portrait a divine human being, u must make it plus one, so 7 times (with their respective torso and limbs proportions). and u can see this in old art with some classical and neo classical artists/paintings. so is something from art theory, and not some random thought lol... Glorious Lara
Can’t get over what they did to her face in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Not because she’s “not sexy” or anything weird like that, but because I spent the entire game in the uncanny valley. She’s just so unsettling!
Underworld and TR 2013 look the absolute best out of all of them in my opinion. I also love that animation she does in the former right after getting out of the water.
Dev and art teams always changed. Even worse, she has different look in the SAME GAME between FMVs and in-game because movies were outsourced to a third company.
@UnKnown-hp9gz the graphical downgrade compared to the previous 2 and her weird proportions (too skinny arms, big head, wider shoulders, off face model)
@@FredwerdSomething while I do think the last models proportions are weird in some areas, I still don’t think she’s ugly. completely get where you’re coming from though.
For anyone actually upset they made her hourglass figure less pronounced or gotten rid of it, they didn’t, she still has it just that the art style changed. They just went from hyper-stylized to hyper realistic. Proportions will be less exaggerated and changed. That’s just how changing art styles work. But I will say they fumbled hard on 2018 cuz wtf happened
Nah woke activism happened because there were like 2 women who got insecure by a woman in a game looking better than them. I know girls that have far better figure than these renditions.

I believe that the Lara model graphics were at their peak in the 2015 game, especially due to improved lighting. Some individuals here seem to be lauding what are essentially well-executed mud and grime textures in the 2013 Lara, but to me 2013 Lara model had a somewhat uncanny teen goth appearance. Her eyes also don't seem to match her grubby appearance, so it's a bit uncanny.
They put a turquoise shirt on her but the older models make it look like it's a one piece swimsuit, which would make sense to be wearing along with shorts considering she ends up in water a lot.
I miss Underworld Lara's look, the one that makes you confuse about if she wants to charm you or eat your liver, or maybe both It was both sensual and dangerous
