Also, to contribute to the current topic in here: I don't think anyone is saying that as a representation of a female she's ugly, just that compared to the 2 previous versions in the series (for some of us, not all), she doesn't look as good. For example, the following is a screenshot directly from that video OG posted comparing the 2 games. It's blurry because the guy zooms in on the faces while trying to tell the viewer about the differences. Both are being run on pc and on ultra settings. They did change her face up a bit, and personally, I prefer the previous look. I find that I need some time in game to get used to character's faces, seeing how they animate and getting used to any differences. So I won't be able to judge till I play.

One thing I can recommend is turning off the survival instincts glow for objects. Make a you actually explore rather than run from icon to icon.

For me, she looks fine.

This. Thank you. I said UGLIER THAN BEFORE. A bit of a pancake face effect imo. My friend I mentioned called it a bit "plain Jane" compared to the models he works with, which doesn't mean ugly either. Just that as a sexual fantasy (and let's not pretend that she isn't) her features aren't as remarkable as you'd expect. *I* thought she looked GOOD in Rise but better in the first game. In fact, most of the female characters I create are more on the girl next door natural look side rather than drop dead gorgeous. Which is why I was FINE with her in Rise. And my comment about Shadow was based on the comparison video where she looked a lot worse in-game, maybe due to unfortunate lighting.
I'd gladly trade my face with any of the three Lara incarnations. I was merely voicing my impression that she looks a bit less striking in each new game. Which doesn't surprise me at all but I think it's better not to get into that again. So apologies for derailing this conversation.

That's fair. Lara gets so much flack for not being super hot with huge bewbs, I'm glad she's less of a fantasy now but I doubt she'll ever get away from those comments...unless they turn her into a porn star. Even the comments for the movie were like that. I'm curious as to whether she better animated than in Rise. There was a stiffness to her features before, in fact I think she's always been a little puppet like tbh. I'd take less attractive if it means she looks more natural in cutscenes.

I've never really gotten this argument... because, in the reboot series she actually IS super hot. (Not pointed at you, just at the point of her getting flack for not being hot) The point I'm trying to make is it just looks like it's either dropped in quality (which I doubt) or specifically changed for some reason or other. I just don't prefer it to the previous iterations. It could very well be the lighting in certain areas of the game (I won't know until I play it) because she looks pretty good in that recording that vonuber posted a bit back.

Here you go, I just took this in game screenshot using ansel - no effects or anything. She looks miles better than 2013, or even Rise. Really not seeing the issue.

Her face does indeed look more rounded now. Different bone structure maybe? idk, but I see what people are saying, when they say she looked better before, I would have to agree. Never mind the fact that I prefer it when a game franchise maintains a consistent appearance for it's characters. I also am a gamer that just accepts the sexual nature of all character design in video games, and have no issues with it. The only difference I see, is how people, naturally, have wildly divergent sexual tastes and thus not everyone will see something as "hot" or attractive.
For example, Cassandra Pentaghast is the hottest woman in the history of the universe to me, personally. Others think she looks like a Shemale and is a hideous grotesque yeti. Of course Cassandra's appeal to me is beyond the physical, just who she is as a person, her ways of thinking about the world, her opinions about things etc all play a part. Speaking purely physically, Aveline Vallen is the clear winner for me, out of all movies/books/video games, everything.
I think it depends heavily on many factors, many of which are unique to each person, so there is no real point in arguing things like that, I think.

I think it depends heavily on many factors, many of which are unique to each person, so there is no real point in arguing things like that, I think. Yes, it is rounder. Slightly heavier, maybe? I put it down to aging and seasoning (maturity). In #1, she was 21 years old, fresh out of university. in #2, she's 23. In #3, she's 26 years old. That's five years (from #1 - #3) in which, I presumed, she was going everywhere, chasing down her father's projects / objectives before Trinity gets to them. That's a lot of stress and burden she put on herself. I've no doubt if any of her friends from university didn't see her for five years and saw her now, they'll observe that she's vastly different from the Lara they knew. The devs were aiming for progressive development with the reboot Lara. Putting the effects on her would be in the cards.

Also i like your profile avatar.. Lara's expressions may not be as good as in rise but camilla did a fantastic job and it shows in this gif, and in some other videos i've seen. Too bad this is the last performance of her, she is my favorite lara in terms of voice.

Are there other ways? 😉 I can assure you that the island and the forests in the previous games are still Swiss cheese from all my shotgun shells. And you all should stop tempting me into this game. I want to wait for the final version. Or at least after I get my RTX card.

Mine is showing 4/5 as well but I'm expecting the unopened tomb in the NE to have a camp inside. I got the rope ascender so I should be able to open that tomb.
