QUOTE(mALX @ Nov 13 2015, 12:56 AM) It is absolutely the best character graphics I've ever seen in any game! Is the game as good as it looks substance and gameplay-wise?
The reason they can do it is that there is zero customisation of the player character, so they only need to provide one high-res, high-detail model - Lara. All the rest is lower-detail, because it's transient, and not the focus of attention. Not much lower, but enough is saved by only having one focal character to pay for the rest. They do have to make several versions of her in different outfits, but only one will ever be on-screen, so that's a development team consideration, not an engine one.

QUOTE(Winter Wolf @ Nov 13 2015, 12:23 AM) The first shot is a capture from one of the early video cut scenes so that is why it looks so nice. We just sit back during that part and stare in amazement. The other shots are pretty close to what the game is like. The one I showed yesterday, this one, is straight from the in-game. The wall behind you closes the camera in and shows that level of detail. That looks outstanding! But those look like Falmer ahead! I hope Lara packed a Deadric Sword to deal with them! QUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 13 2015, 05:32 AM) I remember when the first Tomb Raider came out. Almost immediately there was talk about mods that made Lara run around in her b-day suit... The portrayal of Lara has changed quite a bit over the years, and finally swung into favor of being reasonable, as this article points out. Though I am sure once it is out on PC the modding community will get cranking on those Nudie mods! This post has been edited by SubRosa: Nov 13 2015, 11:03 PM

On a completely unrelated note: The definition of optimism: Buying a lottery ticket on friday the 13th. Because, yeah, I did that

To be honest, I don't know why I even bother buying lottery tickets, not that I do it often, only when the jackpot gets over a certain amount. I guess if I were in the Star Wars universe I'd be a Correlian: No regard whatsoever for the odds

I´m not interested in playing a game in that way though I have to admit, at the time I was young enough to think it was a bit interesting..

It's not a scary story, but it gets pretty dark. The segment I wrote was a flashback for the main character. He saw his soon-to-be-fiance cheating on him, learnt that she is in fact being mentally manipulated and dominated by one of her friends(who was right there on the bed beside her, and the guy is the one she brought to the party). He literally watches as the friend destroys his lover's mind right in front of him. *shudders* Edit: Just wrote another segment involving that "friend". Gods, that woman is evil. Fortunately, I'm now done with her. This post has been edited by Callidus Thorn: Nov 15 2015, 09:21 PM
