Eidos didn't release a new trailer for Tomb Raider: Underworld for this E3, and that's a bit strange, but at least we get these nice new screenshots.

If you're referring to the Sex-ification of Lara (which I think is what you're implying), than you couldn't be more wrong. I think since Crystal Dynamics took the franchise, Tomb Raider games have never played better and the OMG Lara'z hotzzzz has been toned downed considerably.
Now, I was a bit disappointed with the swimming animation in the preview video @ IGN but I am willing to let that go, it seems the problem is only with the swimming animations. Other parts looked pretty good. Those screens are real nice and seeing the game in motion is a nice treat for the eyes. I cant wait for the first official trailer, it's debut-ing tomorrow at http://www.spike.com/ [source: http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/headlines3474.... ]
I have another concern here. As great as Tomb Raider games have been recently, the games are still trying to play catch up to be honest - I wonder if Crystal Dynamics is aware of this - they need to come back with a Big Bang to reassert themselves as the leaders again. It's such a shame given that the orignal Tomb Raider was *the* game that started it all.
Anyway, I hate these types of discussions. I personllay dont play Tomb raider for those reasons. It just seems to be the trend in the games industry to comment on these matters, which is sad.

I want female characters too look like Sheva, Elika, Lucia (DMC2), Faith...etc. these normal porpotionate looking females that looks, well, normal.
No huge big boobs bouncing around with leather or skimpy slut outfit, those don't sell, unless you are under 18 or above and is just a gaming pervert who enjoys this stuff, which there are.
Anyways, Lara Croft has always been like this since years back, so yeah.

When Im playing TombRider Im changing the racurs of camer to see her preshes. So what? Bad to me if I dont
They went back to see what made Tomb raider good on PS1 era and recreate that for this one.
So gameplay and story is their main focus.
Got a problem with that?
Niiiice.

The thing that kept the first Tombraider game in balance was: Lara Croft vs Good Story and Gameplay. So normal people didn't pay 2 much attention to her figure alone.
Ofcourse there are also people who buy the game for the sole reason of Lara being ... 'ballistically equipped'. But the world needs people with absolutely no life whatsoever to exist.
It's called equilibrium.
It's hard being a girl in the game-industry and Lara knows that. Hell...even I know that.
But these days every concept art I look at or CG I see girls having alot of revealed clothes, if I want that I would go to the beach to see girls or just online for models, not in a video game.
But ah well, atleast we know some devs out there know some good female design choices, for example Mass Effect or Freya from Too Human.
Anyways, carry on.
Actually, proportionate to the size of her body, Miss Croft's breasts have shrunk over the years. Heres a quick pic I found. She is less 'ballistically equipped' that she was.
Plus, she's wearing a diving suit in these shots. It perhaps shows a bit more leg than it needs to, but the leg-less-ness, one could imagine, is to aid it unrestricted movement. Perfectly plausible in her line of work.
Besides, the environments look gorgeous, why the hell are you looking at her?
:)
I'm just praying they bring the epicness of the original TR games back, although the last 2 games have been decent they have been awfully linear with all the parts i have played being pretty much straight paths.
I want my claustraphobic sections mixed in with my huge breathtaking environments which is why the pyramids in the first game worked so well, the landscape varied and the areas varied within the one level. Heck i would even love to see the old save points return, or at least an option to play with or without them just to add that extra level of danger to the game.
And to this day I don't understand some of the guys saying "omg she looks hot!"...etc.
It's a videog ame, sure she is modelled very great and she looks beautiful but actually going into nerdish status for such things is scary.
For example I find Elika in the new POP beautiful because well, she is designed very good and looks beautiful thats as far as I go.
Anyway I am tired of this conversation, it can go on and on, and going off topic.
I also think the graphics are decent to, don't understand why people don't think they're not current gen.
