I'd have thought that having small breasts would make Lara Croft the exception, rather than the rule.

She may be flat in comparison to our standards, but she is far from being Twiggy.

Wow, when I first started reading this thread I had no idea what the new Lara Croft was going to look like. I played the first couple of games basically just for the bust and the short shorts, the post-reduction Lara, while cute and fine, is just so pathetic next to the orgional design it's almost too much to bear. No offense to the fans awaiting the new game, but I pray that it tanks in the sales dept. and sends the game's producers a message!

So, um any other hot pictures of the REAL Lara Croft?

[ZoD]

She looks huge in this. SHould have changed her ingame proportions to something like this shot.

 

[jscott991]

She's pretty flat compared to any standards, but especially compared to the standards just one game ago.

Attached is Lara from Angel of Darkness.

The reason this really burns me is it
perpetuates the sterotype that busty girls
are a joke, and to be taken seriously
a character should be smaller.

 I have no problem with small breasted girls,
heroine or otherwise. But to shrink a girl like
 Laura's chest just furthers the message that having
large breasts is bad.  Think of how many
 busty girls who played the originals
are disappointed they are now less like the
character they enjoyed.

Well according to this wallpaper image she is still the same  dimension wise as the last Lara gaming model.

for me it was the gameplay first, laras 'looks' second, i still remember being blown away buy those early 3D platformers of early Playstation days.

[jscott991]

The designers have already indicated that she has been reduced.

Read the preview on IGN for more information.

A long time ago, I remember a developer saying they were aiming to reduce her from the DD size of AOD to a large C in a pushup look.

[LancelotKane]

Lara looked her best in Angel of Darkness.  Too bad the game was horrible.

[KarmicCurse]

Now you all have to agree with this.

Cause for me, the only great game that showed large chested females is Dead Or Alive.

I love Lara, and I loved her more in her more buxom days. But always hated the games, never my favorites. But if there happen to be a exquisite game with proper gameplay elements, you know, just a impressive video game (nowadays, far and few in between). . . and also had a super-buxom lead character. . . that to me would be the best.

But I doubt the mainstream audence is saying NO to curvy game ladies, mabey its the current backlash on game developers for them making a too racy of a game, cause the developer just wants to keep their product on the shelves before a coalition of cry-babys take it off of said-shelves.

[Chronicler]

Well said. I think it's funny that an awful game like Tomb Raider got popular because of a set of big boobs. I think a lot of people are just afraid to admit what they really are.

not really that, im saying most games that throw in huge chested ladies usually suck, and the boobs are trying to compensate.  i think gamers are starting to learn that video game boobs arent worth 50$.

i mean, free porn from the internet.  i doubt fake large breasts are much of a selling point anymore.

[Chronicler]

Maybe you learned that. Or.. maybe they finally realize that boobs alone can't sustain an awful action game title.

I totally agree.

[ZoD]

Yes. Not worth $50. Whats that in pounds? It might seem more reasonable that way.
