:cln: WANT IT!

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

Late replies, tbh:

No thanks, the series should have some consistency with how she looks. I don't want her looking almost like a completely different person with every new game (even though I bet money it'll happen).

Graphical enhancements over the years WILL change her look anyway.

and please don't tell me it's unnatural or whatsoever, looks much better. 100x better.

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.

My speculation is also that Crystal is prejudged somehow to the classics and they aren't giving her a braid because they have something against it. I really don't get it, it was Lara's trademark that made her outstand, and byy changing that I feel they're just doing whatever they can think of to cut her off from the classics legacy. :mad:

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.

Me too :cln: It's a shame the Survivor and Collectors' Edition only include 10 tracks, but I guess that's better than nothing :p

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.

Well I'll just...

Nevermind...

:vlol: Can't say I won't do the same :whi:

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. ;_;
