We are actually arguing about Lara's top color...I can't...O.o
|
I can't believe how much people are arguing over the changing of costumes. It's insignificant really. Just because this TR is a reboot doesn't mean that the past can't be acknowledged in some way. Batman Arkham City has outfits from the various incarnations of the caped crusader. It's called fan service.

So... @Anyone else Anybody know what Crystal are currently saying about whether TR9 will have unlockable costumes? I'd appreciate an answer that's actually an answer :tmb: |

Nobody is. Everyone who has mentioned the colour of Lara's top has acknowledged that it is grey but appears to be certain colours in certain lighting. |

Q: What's Crystal's latest stance on whether or not TR9 will have extra costumes? A: No, see. And that makes sense to you? :confused: I'll just assume that what you actually mean is that Crystal are still saying there won't be any unlockable costumes (which gets a :tmb: from me). |

I quoted another one of your questions actually, in my last post, to show which one I was responding to, and it wasn't that one. Crystal's latest stance on unlockables in general is that they are a "franchise staple" and that they would love to fill the game with unlockables to facilitate exploration. They just don't want to spoil the game, as Karl has said. I don't think they are against unlockable outfits, personally. But they are going to be selective when it comes to what they chose, so that the tone of the game is not ruined by Lara running around in a bikini or clown costume. And that, was their first stance "no unlockable bikinis". Quote:
I just think it's odd that you are telling other people to put in a CD and play the classics as if they can't get over change, yet you yourself will have nothing to do with multiplayer because TR has simply been single player in the past. |

^Thanks :)

So, regarding costumes as unlockables (nothing else), Crystal is still saying there won't be (seeing as they have nothing to do with exploration). That's still a :tmb: from me then. Although what Karl actually said in Rai's quote seems more like they're undecided. |
Thanks Rai :)
Hmm, must admit I'd like to see the new Lara wearing some winter clothes as there might be snowy mountain areas in the game. |

edit: BTW I think they spoke about unlockables elsewhere too. |

God knows I'd be furious if I took time out to uncover some kind of secret, only to be rewarded with a bloody costume :mad::hea::mad: |

The game is going to have gear gating, and obviously we'll need to explore to find items in the game in order to progress and maybe even unlock extra spaces. But of course extra exploration, rewarded by unlockables would be things like....**** you give as unlockables. I doubt well just get unlockable outfits. |

^ I like that idea, Lukass, with regards to the winter clothing. Once again, I was typing too much and was too slow.
I like the idea of a few (note: a few) unlockable outfits. Nothing wrong with them, imo. They're just a bit of extra fun. As long as the outfits are appropriate for the situation/environment/weather etc and, for the reboot, they should be new outfits we've not seen before, but, like the current main outfit, maybe there can be a nod to the old ones (like an orange winter jacket coupled with trousers). Giving homage to the old ones is enough, it's not necessary to have the exact outfit, as, it does kinda poo poo over the whole reboot idea. @Larafan, sure your sister may like short shorts and I guess they're currently in fashion. Maybe Lara has a pair in her wardrobe at home and they're fine in the everyday world of parks and sunshine and back gardens with mud slinging, I just don't see the need for the classic shorts when the current outfit is, 1, more than enough of a homage in itself and 2, more appropriate for the situation Lara was on the Endurance for in the first place and especially for the situation she finds herself in. Oh and 3, It's too soon in the reboot, imo to add the classic outfit. Let's get used to the idea of the reboot first. If there are shorts in the next game, it could be fun to add the classic shorts (just not that short). On an off topic note: Why the hell is shorts and tights so fashionable these days, it's such an odd combo :confused:. :p |
I think Core Design decided to give her the shorts because she was meant to be sex symbol. They wanted her to be one. Since she's an average girl now and not sex symbol anymore I don't think she'll wear shorts in this game just for the sake of it or just to show she has nice and long legs. I wouldn't mind the shorts if it will be appropriate for the situation/environment and weather as @Rai said though.

skinny jeans would be a good replacement for short shorts for me :D

^Crystal apparently said some time ago that Lara doesn't wear jeans anyways, (lol AOD). :pi:

I think as an unlockable it doesn't need to stick as close to the rules of the story mode, as long as it doesn't stretch the limit. Maybe there is a warm jungle on the island where it's hot and sticky? Or maybe we get some warm DLC hub space to explore and Lara wears shorts? IDK. I think the press may pick it up as too soon to see Lara's legs again. Quote:

@Lukass ^:vlol: I was thinking of that at the time ;)
Would a skirt be approriate for the weather/environment/situation? Doubt it. So no. |

I still doubt her clothes will be changing in the game. Even if there will be snowy areas or warm jungles. Karl said she is desperate to survive and it's the only thing she's trying to focus on. I don't see her changing her clothes and thinking "Ooooh, there will be -20 degrees on the mountain I have to put the warm jacket on. I might be dead in the next few minutes but I want to look perfect in the moment of my terrible death"....

but then...unlockables are fun extras that you can play after you've finished the main game, I guess. |

You can't survive when you're not surviving, and choosing not to wear an available jacket in -20 degrees temperatures is choosing not to survive. |
Quote:
But then again, if I remember well, they also said that weather will affect her performance, right? If she had the jacket or shorts I think it would help her instead of affect her. Then it would not be about surviving but about having comfort in a bad situation. |
Quote:
Lara can still look and be cold in the environment while wearing a jacket (which just increases her chances of survival and may not be a super warm or super comfy jacket). |
