Nah, they need to make the main character a transexual black male who's bisexual.

hey, im just doing my duty as a feminist... i have to point out the obviouse....this game has a long history of discriminating against male characters. i think after over a decade of lara croft, we can manage to have a choice between laura or laurel croft....

you may think that playing as lara doesnt affect you, but the more you think you are not affected by having no choice, the more you are actually affected

That would be the poorest selling game of all time.

Okay. I'm also looking forward to the Uncharted 5: Nathalie Drake's Adventure!

well having a choice is good enough for me...... i just want to be able to invest myself into the game.....just like a girl wants to invest herself by demanding a female character, dont see where the problem is.....its just a game afterall....i dont understand why white knights are coming to the defense when a woman demands a male character and i get only a few comments from people who make fun of me like i am not to be taken seriouse

where are all the people who encourage choice of characters? arent we suposed to be equal?what is wrong here? is there nobody who wants to play as laurel croft?
cmon people, support choice of characters so we might get it

Chill. I never said anything to offend you.
I'm sorry if my last reply seemed that way.
I get it, you want a male character. I'm not sure that it will be a possibility to play a different character in this game series, at least on the main campaign.

There might be a time when they add a multiplayer section and you can choose other characters with different genders.

Tomb Raider = Lara Croft.

Same thing as with Uncharted = Nathan Drake.

The series is built upon their character so changing them means changing everything.

Maybe a spinoff game could be done with a character of another gender taking the main role.

But for the main series, sorry but I just don't see it happening.

Some games drive on a story like RPG's and where the protagonist can be switched around without much issue; see any bethesda game.
While some games are character driven. Like Tomb Raider, Hitman, Uncharted.

Demanding a gender choosing option won't do the game any good. So some people can't invest in the game because the character isn't gender X or Y.
Sorry but that is a poor excuse, if you don't like the game don't play it but don't demand changes to suit you.

Instead of Laurel, I'd go with Larry.
