Förut har Eidos alltid hypat Lara Crofts sex-appeal, och marknadsfört spelen med vältrimmade modeller så fått spela Lara. Men det är slut med det nu. I kommande Tomb Raider kommer Lara istället att leva på hjärna, säger Crystal Dynamics.
"As far as sex appeal, we are always thinking about making a character that people want to play, and part of that is a level of attractiveness and being drawn to Lara. But we don't want to play up sexuality for sexualities sake. We are constantly talking about context and motivation on this project.", säger art director Brian Horton i en intervju till Game Informer.
"Lara is a lover of archaeology and she has these book smarts. Her brains are another huge part of her sex appeal. She is an attractive girl who doesn't play up her looks, but she is super smart and she is very ambitious", fortsätter han.
"Ultimately, what I think is going to be compelling about this - and what our version of sexy is - is the toughness through adverse conditions. Seeing her survive through these moments.", avslutar Horton innan han dessutom passar på att bekräfta: "No unlockable bikinis."
