Poll requested by trXD.
It's about time we had one of these, you know, just to divide the forums even more.. ;)

So. Who do you think that was in the trailer causing the Kaboom?

Lara? Not Lara? Lara's great Aunt twice-removed on her father's side come back from from the future?

Let rip.

:wve:

For me it's definitely Lara, it has to be Lara.

Conway
20-07-08, 16:02
Waits for the poll.

EDIT: I can't say "Definitely no" as I'm still considering the other theories like her faking her death and the manor being some sort of portal to another underworld. I abstain.

EDIT: Oh, and please, on a general note, don't insult the intelligence of those who think that this may be a person other than Lara by saying that they say so just because tlr online posted that "You sure?" comment. TRF is smarter than that.

20-07-08, 16:05
I don't think it is,

I used to think it WAS her and she was destroying the mansion because she found out a dark secret about her parents, but she just seems to happy and emotionless to be doing the demolition.

This person seems like she is trying to kill whomever is inside, not just destroy the manor.

That still makes her Lara since the woman in fact would still be Lara... just possessed :p

I think the options should have been simply "yes" or "no" to whether or not you "think it's Lara" - but I'm voting "definitely yes", even though I'm in no position to tell you that it's definitely her. If that makes sense lol.

It means, that I'm too tired...That's not Lara's soul or Lara itself...

What? Everyone with their own theories:p

I think it's Lara. Are we going to get a HD version of this video like the last one? just curious.

Lena-Lara
20-07-08, 16:16
To be true, some explanatory notes that this couldn't be Lara sound possible to me... but although I'm sure this must be Lara, because I really can't image CD would make a trailer for Tomb Raider without showing Lara. This doesn't make any sense to me.

20-07-08, 16:16
It is Lara :tmb:

Domino
20-07-08, 16:19
I really wish people would stop saying "No doubt about it." People can doubt about it, as there are chances that it isn't Lara (See Conway's thread).

Personally, I think Lara's been posessed by Fluffy - but as there is no option that says this I'm not voting.

Dark Raider
20-07-08, 16:20

Definitely have to say YES it's Lara at this point. My reasoning for this is behind my theory which is scatterd all over this section of TRF in the many threads that pertain to it. ;) :)

If it isn't Lara I'll be disappointed.
I think it's her though.

jeffrey van oort
20-07-08, 16:35
I think it is sort of a doppleganger Lara created back in the great pyramid and that's why she might look like Lara. She looks so different and a bit pale as if she died or something.
I would like the fact that it would be doppleganger Lara because that would explain who should continue the 7th age if Natla did not get out of that exploding island.
Even though she is immortal, her body parts can still be seperated..

20-07-08, 16:40
I can't really say because we'll find out when the game is released. But I'm pretty sure it's Lara. I voted 'not sure' because I think it is not the 'real' Lara, as in she's been affected by something. I don't think she's possessed, though.

MrBear

20-07-08, 16:46
Well, I'd go with either the "Possessed Lara" theory or with the "Faking Own Death" one - basically, the latter makes more sense to me, pistols in manor and all that. But, anyway, only way to find out is November ;) (Until some random magazine spoils it *God forbid*)

larson n natla
20-07-08, 16:46
Definatly yes why make a trailer of a game WITHOUT SHOWING THE MAIN CHARACTER

its her obviously she has the same outfit as in mexico and just because she has a facial expressiion doesnt make her Natla or Amanda :o

Ybbob
20-07-08, 16:49
I think it's Lara and for anyone to think otherwise is reading too much into the trailer, trying to find some big mystery that just isn't there.

Like those people who are like "THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL LARA WOULD BLOW UP HER MANSION!!!1!!!" yes, she would. She's a video game character and she's allowed to do whatever she likes. CD can change her personality on a whim if they wished and I'm quite happy they did.

Now the only "mystery" in this trailer, to me, is figuring out why Lara did this, not if she did.

ShadyCroft
20-07-08, 17:27
I voted yes cause I am hoping its Lara. Lara blowing up her own manor is controversial, where as someone else doing so is something we've seen around in movies and TV series. Someone blowing up another person's car, house, office, apartment as in Prison break season1).

krycekuva
20-07-08, 17:31

It's Lara. She has the ponytail, the twin guns with her, the holsters. Although most of us agree that she is Lara, some desagree and say it isn't. Well the thing is we don't know Lara anymore since Legend. Her clothes are different, not her style but then again we don't know her anymore. But again she has one of those outfits that are short, she definitly never found a longer shirt. The face is recognisable, but seems a bit plastic it's different from the models we saw so here the ones who desagree might be right. However there seems to be some kinda of nostalgic felling in that face...

I'm now remembering of a line that appeared in a magazine from Amanda, something about "she needs to get over herself like" Needs to get over this. Probably she didn't found her mother, or found something about her parents. Something that disturbed her. That's why Amanda says that, won't you agree ? But says that to who ? Rutland ? Since he's now alive. Lara probably didn't get over the situation, she did that to her house because of her parents, she found something about them or she knows their both dead and her adventures for trying to find them were in vain. She possibly couldn't stand that and decided to forget her past starting with the manor. Just a theory :tea:

She is deffinitely LARA!!!!

MichaelK@NK
20-07-08, 18:08
I chose. I'm not too sure yet. B/c I'm going with everyone's theories. Plus whether it's Lara or not, I'm still going to play the game. I mean seriously. I could care less who was in the TEASER. But yeah, I'm going with all theories.

1). It is Lara > It could be Lara faking her own death, or she found out something about her father that lead her to believe her entire life was all based on lies, etc. BUT I'm confused here as well. B/C if the reason was one of those, I'm sure Lara would have a tear, or a frown or some other face besides and EVIL GRIN whilst blowing up all of her memories and collections. So, IDK. Also, it may be her, b/c CD clearly said that TRU will be much darker, and Lara WILL in fact get VERY ANGRY!. God knows what about, but will just have to wait and see.

2). It's a possessed Lara > I mean, seriously people, face it. As t has been said many times. Lara will be going to several UNDERWORLDS!!!!! She may accidently get possessed by some unknown spirit, you never know.

3). Someone else (i.e Amanda) > I mean, IDK why this is being blown away too. B/C Amanda did have the power to SHAPESHIFT! Into the unkonwn entity in TRL, so, you can't exactly blow this theory yet either. She may have found some way to transform again. And I'll say it again. WHEN PEOPLE TRANSFORM. THEY DON'T look the way they once were, duh, (ie Amandas tattoos, etc.) Plus the clothes Lara or whoever she was was wearing were very much like Amandas, ( ie. Gothy looking, tight, dark ,etc.)

All in all I really would like it to be Lara with some MAJOR plot twist. But even if it isn't , I think it's really stupid for whoever said they wouldn't play it. It's like get over it. As long as the game is fun and has a really strange twist, it'll be even more fun. So there is my theories on this Teaser.

20-07-08, 18:19
1). It is Lara > It could be Lara faking her own death, or she found out something about her father that lead her to believe her entire life was all based on lies, etc. BUT I'm confused here as well. B/C if the reason was one of those, I'm sure Lara would have a tear, or a frown or some other face besides and EVIL GRIN whilst blowing up all of her memories and collections. So, IDK. Also, it may be her, b/c CD clearly said that TRU will be much darker, and Lara WILL in fact get VERY ANGRY!. God knows what about, but will just have to wait and see.

2). It's a possessed Lara > I mean, seriously people, face it. As t has been said many times. Lara will be going to several UNDERWORLDS!!!!! She may accidently get possessed by some unknown spirit, you never know.

3). Someone else (i.e Amanda) > I mean, IDK why this is being blown away too. B/C Amanda did have the power to SHAPESHIFT! Into the unkonwn entity in TRL, so, you can't exactly blow this theory yet either. She may have found some way to transform again. And I'll say it again. WHEN PEOPLE TRANSFORM. THEY DON'T look the way they once were, duh, (ie Amandas tattoos, etc.) Plus the clothes Lara or whoever she was was wearing were very much like Amandas, ( ie. Gothy looking, tight, dark ,etc.)

All in all I really would like it to be Lara with some MAJOR plot twist. But even if it isn't , I think it's really stupid for whoever said they wouldn't play it. It's like get over it. As long as the game is fun and has a really strange twist, it'll be even more fun. So there is my theories on this Teaser.

Rivendell
20-07-08, 18:20
Fair enough Xmas. I assumed you were talking about her in the trailer. :p

I don't think she's crazy/insane/lost it/possessed at all in the trailer. I'm sure there's a perfectly valid explanation as to why she was so desperate to make it look like she's dead.

In the first teaser trailer, it would be crazy to NOT have our heroine in it.

Either through posession, or maybe she is put into a desperate situation, i think this is Lara :tmb:

Do you think that blowing up a house is evil ? Well how evil is this ?
- Kill an innocent inside an helicopter. TR3
- Let a guy die deep in a pit TR5
- Kill Innocent Guards in the Louvre TR6

C'mon we've seen Lara doing worse. And how would you know her intentions. What if you had some memories of a place where a family used to live, and a day they die, days later you find they did bad buisness, dark stuff, they hurted people, they terrorized them, etc. You would feel that all that time you didn't even know them. What would you do to try to forget your past ? Leave the house and go away and having dreams at night about still leaving in a home with strangers ? Or sell the house ? Well many people have their personal reactions to certain situations, Lara had her own way of forgetting her past, starting with the manor. Of course I'm not suggesting that her parents did the same thing i said, just an example.

I think the problem with acceptance of "this" Lara is that Legend and Anniversary gave the new fans such an emotionally goody-two-shoes Lara, that they don't think that Lara is capable of such destruction (and doing it without a 2nd thought). Old TR fans know better, and are desperately hoping that the old "I don't give a damn what happens" Lara is finally back.

I could stomach the destruction of the manor if only that girl was back to stay.

Once again, yepp.

Amanda isn't even confirmed yet. And I'm just wondering, what would Amanda posing as Lara serve for the story? Nothing. To make it seem like Lara blew up her own mansion, to make it seem like Lara's dead.... nothing.

Can't ppl understand... you really think Amanda would get surgery, gain weight, get a tan, get shorter, remove her tattoos, just to blow up Lara's mansion?

And like it's been stated at 1up. Lara gets angry in this game, and it takes a lot to get her angry. What more proof do you need? Tuttuttut for having such absurd controversy.

You're in luck then, because I genuinely haven't read anyone say that it's someone trying to take over Lara's life in the way you described.

Oh, so it was me just being dumb. I apologize for being snappy in my last post. You need a :hug: now.

Most likely not, he wouldn't reveal something as important if he knew it.

Nice... Amanda has blue lips as well. =/ Most likely it's just the quality and the lighting that makes the eye and the lips look like that.

Well to counter that - IF it's not Lara, then there's going to have to be a monumentally good reason for the fact that it looks like her. I'm not sure whether 'long lost twin sister' or 'shapeshifter' would cut it this time for me.

I don't think it is her sister or a shapeshifter - I think it's either Lara posessed by something (Fluffy???) or someones stealing her identity for some reason. Maybe to ruin her life?

Amanda has a reason - the death of Rutland and she wasn't able to go to Avalon.
Natla has a reason - Lara imprisoned her. Then again, I don't think Natla will be in the game.

Then again, to each their own I guess.

Eric said she gets really really angry in TRU, and whatever happen I think it makes her blow up her own manor.

at the end, we will discover this only by playing the game, I don't think Crystal will reveal more details about it

But could an imposter blowing up her manor and possibly killing Winston, Zip and Alister be the thing that makes her angry?

I've just caught the tail end of this thread. You folks are funny. :p:p

Like you, I was just giving my interpretation of the trailer. Personally, I don't think it's Lara Croft, based on the discarded pistols that we see strategically placed during the opening frames and a supposed Lara Croft leaving the manor with pistols swinging from leather chaps shortly after detonation.

However, and more importantly, I have not been privileged to this information from either Crystal Dynamics or Eidos. It's purely speculation on my part.

IF Lara is not going to be in this game... I'm going to burn Underworld. This would make me seriously mad... and regret wasting 60 dollars (but I'd feel good burning it) on a piece of .... um.. yeah.... Lara is my favorite character and it would be a tragedy not to have her in this game.

Hmm I think it probably is Lara and maybe she's possessed or just not the same old Lara we thought she was. I think one thing that made me question it was that she didnt look anything like the renders or even past renders. And that outfit with the leotard thing just really threw me off. I still dont like it and well, she looks child-ish almost in this CGI version of her. Her face just looks strange but I guess it could be the lighting. :o

Think you misread. I don't think Lara was in her manor at the time of the explosion, but the imposter thought she was. Although I can see where you may have been confused!

I'm sticking with the theory that she's faking her own death, or something like that. I think she left a pair of her pistols there, one of her trademarks, so that people would have no doubt that she's dead. But then there's all these other things in the trailer that make me doubt that, the discarding of the evidence, for one thing. Why would she just drop the detonator? It's something that would have her prints all over it. Unless Lara really does go mad and blows up the manor while Zip and Allister are inside, sleeping soundly...but, sadly, I don't want to get my hopes up about that one. :p

All I can say is that the woman in the trailer had better be my Lara <3 I would be depressed if they went with such a stupid twist of having it Amanda... (my opinion of course)....

If Lara was possessed, I would be okay with it.

But still.... something has gotten Lara really angry... and that's what I'm going with.

I seriously doubt they would make this a guessing game. No Tomb Raider has ever had such a complex, movie-look storyline... well... AOD to a certain extent.

I'm gradually parting from the 'Faking own death' theory. Mainly because:

1. The lack of body inside would reveal she wasn't there when it exploded.
2. She has two other houses, is she really going to blow them up too?
3. The detonator outside would imply whoever blew it up, was outside at the time.

I'm leaning more towards the 'containing' who/whatever is inside theory. Whether that be an ancient evil monster/creature/spirit, or something along the lines of a viral outbreak.

I was thinking that maybe Amanda was in the house, and that Lara would pretend dead Amanda was her (with changed dental records)... :D

I'm also thinking your third answer might be right... I have no clue. :p

Yeah, those are some other reasons that make me doubt that she is faking her death, but really...that's the only one that makes sense to me at the moment.

The whole blowing up her home to contain something or find something in there sounds really, really cliché to me. Someone suggested that an entrance to an underworld is there and it just made me want to smack someone. Would an entrance to an underworld really be in Lara's home? God, I hope not. I would really be angry with CD if they chose that path. It just...I absolutely hate whenever they do that in any type of entertainment, whether it be movies, books, games or anything like that. It's like they want it to be a big shock, but it's just so overdone it's more like "Really? That's all you could come up with?"

I don't want the reason for Lara to blow up her own home because something is under there or something is hidden there. I want it to be because she's ****ing ****ed and I want it to be a monumental moment for her character, something that will change her forever.
