halofarm replied to It’s freaking hilarious (and so cringy) how no matter how badly the graphics in games generally looked in the past, they still had to have “sexy” stuff. 

Well, the proportions are pretty much in line with the cartoonish “sexy” characters like Jessica Rabbit, which I’m pretty sure is what they were going for with her originally, before realism started being important. The square head was honestly what bugged ME the most.

I’m not so sure. I’ve read quite a bit about TR’s development and from what I gathered, the dev was aiming for a fit, attractive woman. The boobs are more of a mystery. Various articles I’ve read mostly explained that either they accidentally set the wrong value on the boobs, found it funny, and ran with it, or Lara’s designer did it, either because he found it funny or because boobs, and they ran with it anyway. It sounded like it wasn’t the original intent, though. Hard to say what was their main inspiration if so. (Barbie dolls came weirdly shaped like that, too. At least when I was a kid.) Of course, realism was out of question for a video game back then.

Curiously enough, Lara’s designer got super upset when they started with the “sexy” shenanigans (as pictured in my previous post) - so upset actually that he left the studio soon after finishing the first game.

Either way, whether true or not, I don’t think that makes the look of it any better. It still looks ugly overall. Which was my original point - that not even horribad state of CGI stopped people from trying to make lady characters “sexy”. The eldritch proportions mostly make it worse, as far as I’m concerned, because then it’s ugly and deformed. As if the uncanny-valley, alien-like face wasn’t enough. It just hasn’t aged so well. Of course, different people, different pet peeves.

So fan, but not a fan. :D Still, the design is iconic, and I don’t think about it over much unless for fun like now. When I played it as a kid, I didn’t think about it at all - I was happy enough I had a game with Lara Croft, one of the few characters I could look up to back then. It’ll always be one of my soft spots.
