Is that for the soundtrack? The back cover looks like a tracklist, but I'm not even sure, tbh.

Late replies, tbh:

Graphical enhancements over the years WILL change her look anyway.

That's PC gameplay and the 'phsyx' feature puts more processing power on the GPU to calculate it, so I'm not sure if consoles would even get this anyway. Whether you want it or not.

I spy a pressed classics fan :pi:

That was the only good graphic in that game

Jason Graves posted it, they are the CDs with the official soundtrack for the game.

That's correct! It's the official soundtrack indeed, Jason Graves posted it.

It's true, though :pi: I am not a fan of the classics, having not played them, but even I have to admit that the braid reacted marvelously in TR2. I don't agree with the rest of Dustie's post, however.

Lara's braid was ridiculously long in the Classics and, even though I used to like ridiculously long hair I realised it's very cheap so I'd like Lara to stay as far away as possible from her Classic hair so since Lara's hair are much shorter the same physics can't be incorporated, not to mention that 90s graphics were far less detailed than today's graphics, so therefore there were a lot less polygons to work with and that made the developers' lives a lot easier. It's not that Crystal is prejudiced against the Classics, it's that it's their thing, they don't have to redo everything that was in the game because it was in the Classics. Based on your theory they should have reintroduced the Classic outfit, the 90s glasses (I'm glad they didn't do the latter! ) and kept the pistols as a main weapon. If they can remove her main outfit (which Core did anyway in AoD) and her main weapons, which are far more iconic than her hair they can change her usual hairstyle too, which they already did back in 2006 so your theory is seven years late.

Weemanply109 12-02-13 16:07

I don't care about the soundtrack THAT much to go and buy the full thing, tbh. It'll all be available on Youtube or something anyway to listen to for FREE if I need it.

What I'd like is the Art Book in full, but I'm waiting to for the smaller one we get with Survival Edition first before deciding on purchasing it, not to mention I need to also get the comic. ;_;

I was trying to disprove said claim with a screenshot, but my computer was being a bugger and wouldn't load it :p To be honest, I'm not biased against the braid. I'm perfectly fine with them implementing a braid if they so choose. I am against people demanding they put it back in, simply because Classic Lara had one. Let CD do their thing. We'll see if they will reap rewards from the choices they've made, or if they will regret those. Regardless, I doubt a braid would make any kind of substantial difference.

... I guess I'm a little biased towards a ponytail, simply because I believe it looks nicer, but eh :p

One of the tracks is called Whitman's Demise, which is pretty obvious. The final one is called "The Tomb Raider" :jmp::jmp:

If I am reading right The Scavengers Curse and Secret of the Island are tracks then I am guessing she will Get off the island in the end! I will be glad if she does! :)

That's one of the only ones I can properly read tbh. I'm fairly sure that's what it says, I'm not sure what else it could be :confused:

Wtf. For people who didn't click that spoiler you might have just ruined it for them. What the hell why are people so stupid.

If you want to avoid spoilers, you should take a break from TRF until you have the game in your hands :D.

I really love how she looks in this scene! :)

Yeah, exactly, that's why I said I didn't agree with the last part of his post. I don't think the braid is that important and that CD should include it or else they are being disrespectful to classic TRs. I, for one, also prefer the ponytail.

Tonyrobinson 12-02-13 16:27

Surprised to see Himeko's Tomb mentioned earlier in the soundtrack too. :)

Some promising titles. :D

The Oni get a mention near the end too!

Unfortunately I think that it is the best thing to do, since spoliers are almost unavoidable at this point.

So...are those CDs for sale, or from the CE or just some promo material no one ever gets?

18. The Ritual

20. The Tomb Raider

Looks like everybody dies

Not sure but, a survivor is born

TheRCroft 12-02-13 18:20

Probably because:

a) it's the slogan of the game.
b) the story is about Lara and her evolution to a survivor of the island.
