You know, I didn't even notice how large her breasts appear until I read your message. :p
She has always had breasts that huge, IIRC.

This reminds me of some "feminist" page that claimed that, unlike Portal, Mirror's edge was sexist because the main character was asian and, thus, the game was being sold as "FUCK YEAH HOT ASIAN CHICK IN THE COVER".

This is one of those franchises that I can't for the life of me figure out how it's still alive and kicking.

I haven't seen the trailer yet (I try not to watch trailers), but that box art (I'm assuming) is the best box art in years. I'm not sure how I'll like the game since the only Tomb Raider game that I've played and liked was Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.

Two words:

Crystal Dynamics

The series would have been dead and buried by now if not for them

Also, there aren't many games that feature the level of quality platform mechanics that Tomb Raider game has. There's Prince of Persia, Assasin's Creed and Uncharted and that's pretty much it

Indiana Jones characters still are marketable. I mean that's all Nathan Drake is and he's popular. Not surprising that Lara Croft still is too

I have to say though, that trailer is pretty weak. The voice actress absolutely sucks and the dialog is cliche and boring

Maybe I've just been spoiled by that awesome Batman Arkham City trailer

I really think it's about damn time they got Lara an on the field team. There's nothing more to do with her character as far as story goes. She needs an ensemble cast or something, and I don't mean two useless tools who just ramble on into her headset from the comfort of her mansion, but a team of other adventurers. Other characters for players to care about. Time for this diva to start sharing the spotlight

This trailer reminds me of the origin of the Green Arrow
...eventually inherited the family fortune and business. Queen grew into a rich thrill-seeking drunken playboy with no real sense of responsibility or direction in his life. Everything changed when he fell off his boat in the middle of the ocean and washed ashore on the remote isolated Starfish Island, where he was completely stranded. During this time spent without food or shelter Queen developed his skills as a hunter to survive and gained mastery over his bow. Having previously taken everything in his life for granted, this experience taught him self-reliance and made him into a man.
I wondering how much of a rip off of Oliver Queen's origin Laura will have...
Wait if they are connected this could be cool since my youngest son's name is Oliver and my daughter who will be born in July will be named Laura... hmm.
