Eidos and Crystal Dynamics release a few things concerning Tomb Raider: Underworld: a gallery of the new Lara 8.0 characted model as well as a comparison with the Legend version, two nice artworks to print and stick the english adventuress all over your walls, and nothing less than the new logo of the game, finally scrapping out the horrible visuals we had to bear since the first movie. What a fascinating news.

Nice improvements, yet I still don’t get why a chick would run around old ruins in a storm wearing hot pants and a belly shirt (or whatever it is called in English).
Not very convenient if you ask me… but I guess fan service is more important than logic.

Tomb Raider isn't about realism... It's about running around in ancient ruins. TR games are so good as levels they have IMO.

You'd think her nips could carve stone in that cold weather. Unless its warn jungle rain which explains the nipular lackingness. ;)
The new logotype looks oddly familiar, but I cant put a finger on it.

But its easier to move and stuff. Thats why they wear stuff like that when its not stormy.
And I'm a dude, so no fantasizing. Unless your gay then go right ahead ~_^

The model's not quite there yet, but it's nothing some water effects won't fix. I do love me some wet Lara...

Fuck the begrudgers. I'm really looking forward to this, not because of a pathetic Lara Croft obsession but because the TR series consists of some really enjoyable titles.
Well, 1 was good. But its shit now. 2 was crap. 3 was enjoyable. 4 was slightly similar to 1 but the whole Egyptian theme was vastly overdone. Chronicles was wank, AOD I never played but Legend was a fine game whilst TR Anniversary was absolutely fantastic.

Her new outfit is really nice, I love the shirt.
And as a graphic designer, I have to compliment the new logo, it looks fantastic, far better than the old "movie" logo they've been using for the past few games, and it seems they've dropped all those annoying "starring Lara Croft" tag lines.
The only classic Tomb Raider game that was worth playing was the original. All the ones after that (especially 2 damnit!) were garbage. But Legend and Anniversary have completely redeemed the series. This is one of my most anticpiated games this year :)

Does her head look a bit big for her body in those pictures to anyone else?

I don't like how her face hasn't changed in design. It's just still proportioned weird, and I would appreciate a more 'human' looking head seeing as the texture / shader artwork is going for realism and not a 'cartoony' look.

I think they abandoned her age, after Legend retconned every game past the first one. It was unnecessary for a character like this to be aging so dramatically with each game, I don't think anyone want to see her as a 50-60 year old woman in the next game.
In Legend, we only know that she's in her late 20's, and Underworld is a direct sequel, it takes place immediately after the events of Legend, so it certainly wouldn't make sense for her to be that much older. But either way, like I said, I think they're trying to avoid aging her that much. Except of course in Anniversary and certain sections in Legend, where she did appear noticeably younger.
I don't like how they seem to have made her breasts bigger again. They made them far more realistic for Legend, but she seems to have gone back to the silicones here.

The art work look nice and so does the render, her face looks better now but not the body, she is way to muscular and her breast is way too big, but im anyway looking forward to this game as im an action advanture fan :-)

Her bellybutton is odly un-sexy and her armpits are raised too high. Other than that I think it is a nice progression on Lara from the last game.
/nitpicking off
Looking forward to her next adventure.
