It kinda looks like TAA with an overbearing sharpening filter, kinda like the default settings for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided... Considering the console version of Mankind Divided didn't let you turn that off, one hopes they haven't made the same mistake here.Best box art I have seen in awhile. Screenshots all look like they have the sharpness turned up to max though. It is a strange effect I do not really like.
What? Lara Croft and her girlfriend making out? That's much hotter to me than seeing her with a guy. I like women.
Some posts ITT are so ridiculous. We got a dude calling reboot Lara ugly, when she looks like this:Lara Croft has never been a lesbian.. Why should that change now? They have made here almost asexual in the reboot though.

another dude calling her masculine because apparently he forgot how muscles work , and now you're saying she's almost asexual?

Not asexual but the games do never actually touch on romances for her, which is fine, mind you.
Although she's yet another example of another female protagonist "not allowed" to have romances, I guess, just so it does not invalidate (male) gamers' sense of "ownership" towards her character.

You get it. I was actually thinking that might be the reason she has no trace of a love interest.
There are countless male centered stories where romance is not at all a part of it. Lara's story is not about romance, just like how a character like Moana's story is not about romance and that's ok. It's not that she isn't allowed to have a male love interest.Not asexual but the games do never actually touch on romances for her, which is fine, mind you.

There's nothing asexual about her personality.I meant her personality not her looks. Not a hint of romance. Her character is model smoking hot IMO.

Does Lara have love interests in any of her older games?Lara Croft has never been a lesbian.. Why should that change now? They have made here almost asexual in the reboot though.
At the end of the day it's up to the writer, considering that Square signed off on LiS & it's prequel I don't think they have a problem with female leads who have romance. Not like that situation back when Remember Me was in development.Did I say it's not okay? I even said in my post that it's fine for her not having any romance.
In any event, female leads not getting any romance is a usual trope in video games. If I have to take a gander on the general reason, like I said, most probably it's just to protect male gamers' sense of ownership towards their characters. Maybe CD knowingly/unknowingly realizes that as well, maybe? I don't know, you don't know, it's just a guess anyways.

The image actually does seem to be a 3D render, it's more obvious in the high resolution versions of the key art released a month ago.
Having anyone responsible for Thief 2014 on board for this has me nervous. I hope they end this trilogy strong, as the first two are among my all time favorites
The devs' most recent game was Mankind Divided which was superb.
I expect Shadow of the Tomb Raider to have fun stealth.
You have some deep seated issues if this is the impression Lara Croft gives you as a result of her story not being about romance.She would absolutely be one of those wives that don't like sex. Like a dead fish!
I think you're reading a bit too much into it.Well, in particular to Lara, I very much doubt the devs would actually put forth any sort of romance with her because of her highly iconic status. But we'll see.
If they are bold enough to put her in a romance with a character, I would take a guess that that character would be killed off in the same game, hahah.
MD is one of my favorite games this gen, but I'm not sure if it's specifically that team working on this gameThe devs' most recent game was Mankind Divided which was superb.

Has that been confirmed?

I'm not sure why you'd want there to be romances in the first place. 99% of the time, romances feel tacked on. My ideal TR game is one where Lara just explores vast tombs/temples/ruins by herself. No enemies, just platforming and puzzle-solving.

Nah, if anything you're just being too serious about it, seeing how you responded dead serious to a clear joke by that dude.
Poe's law.
I was kind of interested hearing that Sam was coming back but now I hear she isn't so now I am sad. :(
I was hoping Sam would return as well.I was kind of interested hearing that Sam was coming back but now I hear she isn't so now I am sad. :(
I'm playing it for the first time and man...this game is straight up dumb as shit. The characters are so stupid and the plot is so hilariously goofy.Its a render, though. Every render for the reboot TR games have looked wildly different from the ingame face.
case in point... I'm replaying ROTTR now and Lara does not look like this in the actual game face wise.
You know they aren't gonna give her her dual pistols, backpack, braided ponytail, etc. They're gonna announce another trilogy lol" in this adventure that will trace the crucial moment when she will become Tomb Raider ..."
Wait... she's still not the "Tomb Raider"? We're 3 games in and she's not the title yet?
When will she be considered the "Tomb Raider"? When she finally starts dual wielding pistols and fighting dinosaurs?
