Regarding Max's sexuality? Doubt it. I'd even say they made it even more "put upfront" than initially planned :3
The biggest thing Square asked to change on Life is Strange is the age of the characters (from 16-17 to 18 and more).

Personally I see absolutely nothing groundbreaking about making Lara a lesbian. It wouldn't really add much to the story at all. I can easily do without her and Reyes for the next one. It leaves room for maybe new allies, more interesting ones.
Life Is Strange is an original IP and independently developed game that Square Enix didn't give a shit about. Lara Croft is an iconic character who is extremely popular with the male gaming fanbase. There's obvious brand damage that could be done by making her gay.
Your all so focused on her being a lesbian that your forgetting she's clearly Bi.
I'm truly surprised by some comments here. Unless my memory is failing me did we see Sam at all in Rise? Or Reyes? Why would they all of a sudden appear in the last game? I for one wasn't expecting them at all. It's really no big deal at all. :)
Honestly it's more of a matter that I don't care at all about. I really don't need any of that in these games to be honest.

This is my biggest 'wait for a sale' game of 2018. Sandwiched between Spider-Man and Spyro?

About romance, I think it would be more unexpected if they let Lara get together with a guy in the game than with another girl.
Is the game made by Crystal Dynamics or the studio that developed the Thief reboot a few years ago?
Considering some of the complaints people have with Lara as a character it would probably do good to explore it.
Not really sure what to expect from this game.
Was pleasantly surprised by the first new one (was worried it would just be a Uncharted ripoff, but I enjoyed the gameplay far more enjoyable than I expected and I liked the open areas you got traverse and explore, and even found the story reasonably engaging), but the second one was kind of a letdown.
Just didn't enjoy the progression as much, thought the story sucked, and something about the gameplay didn't click with me as much as the first (maybe it was the level design or weapon types, or something, never quite put my finger on it).
I really hope I like this one as much as the first (or even more ideally).

Meh, she could use a bit of sense of humor maybe, maybe slightly like Nathan Drake? But for all else I think she's fine. I honestly never had a problem with the new Lara, not at all. Her friends on the other hand except for probably Sam and Jonah are an extremely uninteresting bunch.
I'll paste her quote, taken from https://killscreen.com/articles/tom...first-and-why-she-wanted-make-lara-croft-gay/
I'm guessing it was never seriously considered, but I doubt CD and/or Square-Eidos was willing to push the envelope back in 2013.
No, Reyes is taking care of her daughter, and Sam's fate was already discussed.
That being said, Sam, at least, is still a target for Trinity, so if the game DOES revolve around defeating them, it's likely she'd be a target for Trinity to pursue to hold as a hostage to get Lara to stop.
Plus, we still need 'someone' to be the setup for Lara's butler and weapons manufacturer - and Jonah's even more bland than Sam or Reyes is.
After Tomb Raider, Reyes went back to looking after her daughter, Jonah started working as a stage director on Broadway, and Sam was just doing normal life things with Lara, until they all had to return to Yamatai again to rescue Sam who was kidnapped by a faction who wanted to revive Mathias. Jonah and Sam then went on another adventure with Lara in Mexico to rescue Grim's brother from mercenaries.
The gaming industry is still utterly terrified of Gamergate and their ilk. Nobody wants to push the envelope. Same reason why blockbuster movies don't feature queer leads. It'll be another decade or more before they start to appear in numbers.
This was in the comics? And after that came the happenings of Rise?
Sorry, don't see it. If anything there has been more and more efforts to create a more diverse environment in gaming in recent years. Things are only improving.
A Lesbian Lara wouldn't be too much of a surprise to be honest (although they probably will make her Bi anyway).
Yep, those events took place a couple of months after Tomb Raider and then the events of Rise of the Tomb Raider took place next.
oh no
Damn I thought it was the Mankind Divided team working on this. Are they on the Marvel project too?
By the way, it says Eidos Montreal and Crystal Dynamics. So it's not like CD didn't have a hand in this at all.
I assume CD was already making it until SE said guys it's time for you guys to start working on Avengers.

Yeah I don't get what's the big deal, that discussion always comes up, it's just polygons and curves. If I draw a hero type of guy I'm 100% boosting his male features as well, arms, shoulders, leg muscles, chin, beard, chest etc. And if I draw a girl I'm boosting her female features as well, round hips and thin waist or fuller bossom. maybe not both at once but definitely one or the other. Why wouldn't I?
Vikander is nothing in appearance compared to a prime Angelina Jolie, but what does that have to with the games?
Sam gets kidnapped, Reyes gets kidnapped and Jonah gets kidnapped in both games.
Wait it's the Thief team? :-/
Judging by that magazine pic.... not really?
Oh fuck. Well, let's give them a chance. Even if Thief wasn't too amazing. What else did they previously make?
I honestly don't know, I didn't mind Deus MD though so there's hope if they did.
It looks worse because they are showing the digital versions as a retail/box version ;)
I mean, feels pretty standard for big game releases to me. Regular edition, deluxe edition with season pass and other trinkets and then edition that is that with a statue.
Honestly, there would be much more controversy in giving Lara a male love interest than a female one if they went that route.
