Well, depends. I want it for Lara in the next game,but as for the TRU renders, bleh no, in-game looks better.
Found this in the TR9 sugggestion thread a while back, I would love for Lara to look like this in the next game. Just as long as she doesn't stick out from being so high-quality. >_<

The in-game Lara for TRU looked like she had too much plastic surgery.
Face pulled back, collagen lips, enhanced cheeks....NOTHING like the render, so yea i'd like to see the render in-game

I am pretty sure that that render a good reference point on how she will look in the next game .

Agreed.. well, it wasn't that bad. Tbh, i thought Legend Lara looked like the best Lara. The game wasn't really great but i liked the model for Legend most for next gen. :)

the first one isnt the gameplay model, wish it were, her boobs are like too ginormous in gameplay and she's to muscular too in my opinion, anywayyys i dont think there should be a difference, its more work for the artists to do anyways.

I dont know what different you mean but If you mean the way they look it is because the render is actually drawn and Digitally coloured. ;)

First one is the game model, and no l do not think renders done by artists will ever be the same as the ingame model, nor should they be since they are meant to be better.
There's always difference between gameplay and renders models for only one reason: The renders are drawings and the gameplay models are, obviously, 3d models.

Well i felt Lara in Underworld was fine. But they could go even more realistic if they want to, or if they have enough time. It would be nice to see them take Lara to next level in TR9, but if it's gonna effect the quality of the rest of the game, then maybe not.
well i think tru lara was quite nice but they could have done more realistic textures :)

what's funny is that I think Lara & Dopple both looked better/more refined in Lara's Shadow than in Underworld

She had realistic textures, it was only the shading and lighting effects that were not. You cannot get the camera close enough to see the detail in the textures usually, but it is there.
WTF I thought that rendered lara was a painting...the whole time...
well I would like lara to be as realistic and goodlooking as possible ingame,but if the renders are still higher quality then soo be it,fun to get nice looking renders:)

Ya I thought the same...even natla looked better:)
I think the shading was better and lara's bone structure in her face looked more soft:)

I think the in game model looks better, the render looks too pampered.
the render model is so beautiful and realistic.
i want the tru teaser model in tr 9 i know its the doppelganger but she looks so good in the teaser
renders are always prettier, that's why they are renders. And it's really disappointing when renders look so promising but in game model isn't like it should have been.

I think so too ... ;)
The pictures are misleading, both of them are old models (it was constantly changed through development).
Sure they should be the same.
well when ever i see lara in a render for a new game i automaticly think thats the lara that im going to see but then she looked different and her hair was all stuck together the first render i saw was of lara hanging of a cliff i thought she was going to look like that in gameplay :(

Yes they should be the same I mean it is nice to see how many ways they can change her look I guess, but it is just annoying. Also sometimes the renders are like sooo much better looking and then the in game model is like hideous compared to it.

Well a render is only limited by the artists imagination, the ingame model has to actually run in the game so lots of things are simply not possible. Its easy to have realistic skin and hair in a render, you just paint them that way, in the game they are not only dependent on textures, but shaders and lighting effects and no doubt other variables and there is only a limited amount you can use on Lara.

That's because she was constantly changed in development.
They didnt decide to make the renders and gameplay model look different or something.
