https://www.geekgeneration.fr/tomb-raider-the-live-experience-devoile-une-statue-de-lara-croft-a-londres/ Apparently this statue is official, Lara FINALLY has dual pistols (the bow is welcome as addition, not replacement), braid and backpack again (that bag has its own history, any classic era player knows where from). Her lips look bigger and her body, less androgynous than in Shadow of TR, but not as curvy as before the reboot... But it's a start, right? Crystal and Square say they intend to turn all timelines (TR1-6, Legend/Underworld and Survival "prequel") into only one and make a game that makes all players happy. Well, I know that almost all games that forgot their core tend to fail, and Square Enix did that to MANY titles besides Tomb Raider, like Front Mission (Left Alive, 2nd worst game of 2019, painfully similar to Tomb Raider reboot), Hitman (until Square lost the ownership), Legacy of Kain (cancelled and dead), Thief (dead), Dungeon Siege (dead), Just Cause (4 was awful), maybe others I don't know of.

There's a huge difference between innovating and forgetting the core. Square forgot all, dropped the skillful climbing, acrobatics, exploration without x-ray and mandatory puzzles to focus on survival, stealth, too much drama, and more gunfights in one game than in all 6 first games combined. Those should be additions, not new focuses. The talented fan Nicobass is remaking Tomb Raider 2 with Unreal Engine 4 (maybe he'll use UE5 now), his demo is the proof that the atmosphere of the classic can be in perfect harmony with modern graphics and gameplay. http://tombraider-dox.com/downloads/ Fan games take really long to be done because few people work on them on their free time only, but they're jewels when they're done. If Square and Crystal don't learn a tiny bit from his demo and keep trying to copy Uncharted, they'll stay behind and fans will keep focused on classic, with temporary hype when a new game comes and focus back to the classics few weeks later. (Shadow of TR is big proof)

To be honest I don't like this statue...No,I HATE it.Looks awful.IMO she didn't need any visual changes.Dual guns are fine but I hope it won't turn into some run and gun BS with dual .50AE desert eagles with zero recoil.Most of the recently released games were so horrible that I sort of lost my hope that there will be a decent AAA Tomb raider sequel
The reboot trilogy already went slightly downhill and needs to turn back IMO.Back to TR 2013 in terms of the gameplay and storytelling.

I agree, i hate the statue too and her look don't need change maybe 3-5 years more. The good point is Crystal dynamics will work on This TR as Tomb Raider 2013 and Rise, also a new engine with better graphics and this game is supposed to loop with TR1. That game will be very interesting

It's not that I love the statue, but for the first time I see the braid, dual pistols and backpack again, besides a less pathetic look than Shadow Lara (but when it's coloured we'll know more). It's no classic Lara, but it's better (or less worse) than the reboot trilogy.
The dual pistols are not just okay, they're Lara's mark and without them she's incomplete like Indiana Jones without whip. In modern gameplay the dual pistols fit perfectly in free shooting (attack while running or jumping), which Uncharted 1 already had in 2007 but none of the 3 reboot TR games had.

I'm more focused on fan remasters and remakes though. OpenLara, TR3 HD, TR2 Remake, TR6 Restored, not to forget brilliant custom games from the Level Editor community.

The dual pistols have always been Lara's mark, without them Lara is incomplete like Indiana Jones without whip. The classic combat is outdated for today's gameplay, but the dual pistols fit perfectly in free shooting, which none of the 3 reboot games have. Uncharted 1, from 2007(!!!) has it, so Drake can run and jump while shooting, causing less damage but attacking in movement. That's perfect for Lara's dual pistols and I've been saying this on Square and Crystal's forums since TR2013. I start to wonder if Square and Crystal are able to programme a game that can use free shooting at all or if they're not resourceful enough.
That's mostly why I accept the statue. I don't like it, just hate it less than I hate Shadow Lara's inexpressive face and androgynous body. The statue looks slightly better, but in colours we'll have a better idea.
About story, I don't want to hear a single word about Lara's parents or Lara crying again. Classic Lara had emotions, she dropped tears when that guy died for her in TR4 (the graphics were simple though), but having emotions doesn't mean crying all the time. And since 2006 all AAA TR games mentioned Lara's parents, they never were interesting.

I think they made a lara more crying because more feminists are playing this game since the reboot and they want a lara emotionally to feel like them... also the dev team have more women. The team that worked on the Tomb Raider Classics and were basically all men could be the reason why the game had more action then emotion..

These female developers from Crystal are selfish and bad writers. Most girls who play Tomb Raider and even women who don't play, like my mother and sister, love classic Lara's charm and beauty. In Rise of TR (mansion) and several times in the terrible comics (yeah, I read them 😑🔫) "Lara" says she hates dresses, but classic Lara kicked аss in dresses. Being tough doesn't mean being less feminine. Chloe from Uncharted starts her own game buying Indian clothing and keeps a beautiful ruby bracelet for herself during her mission. She also says "sentimentalism in this line of work will only get you killed", I remember that well because I'm sure it was an indirect Naughty Dog said about reboot Lara, who cries a lot (should see the comic when she says she'd rather get shot than hurt a friend's feelings just because she unintentionally interrupted Jonah's theatre project). Like I said, bad writing.
A REAL LIFE EXAMPLE of feminine badass woman is Karina Oliani from Discovery Brazil. She came to my college once and wearing a flower dress told us about the many times she did parachuting and swam with sharks and when she climbed THE Everest. Beautiful, feminine, badass and real. Those feminists need to grow up a little and understand that this is the kind of person classic Lara was. Rare, but not unreal.

But that will be a brand new game like 2023-2025 ? Soo i believe in Crystal Dynamics, they build most of the best TR so far with old engine. Now combinate the best engine with an environment we always like from them and new contains.. this game will not be a remake.. if you liked her hair, water reflection from SOTTR and skin details from ROTTR and environment of TR1, you will likes The new one.

Well what to say...I'm skeptical but I do hope they won't let it down
