I mean look at the resident evil 2 and 3 remakes. They went for a far more realistic horror tone, and changed the default character designs to something a lot less campy and more practical - but they still gave us the OPTION to look like their original designs, because they respected their fans and the games history. CD didn't even try, instead they tried to pretend everything pre-2013 was all a mass hallucination.

While I think the change to more "practical" (read: generic) outfits in the REmakes was unnecessary, given in both games the characters were suddenly thrown into action when not expecting it, I agree. At least they included versions of the original outfits as unlockables. Albeit poorly in Jill Valentine's case, having to change her skirt to shorts, because they put in so many gratuitious close-up ass shots of her in cutscenes a skirt wouldn't work. They covered her scandalous legs in the default costumes though so I guess the church elders were happy...
The thing is, Reboot Lara actually does have quite a nice, athletic-curvy figure under her clothes, especially in Shadow. She is not flat-chested nor is she lacking an ass or curves. We can just barely tell, because she's constantly drowning in boxy mens' clothes, and overdesigned tribal skins with 100 layers of rags flying off her.
