I know I know, Tomb Raider news. There is more going to be coming however, so get used to it! All short and sweet too. Main news is that the final Lara model is finished - they have plumped her face up to bit which makes her look a lot better in my opinion. She looked way to gaunt previously and now she just looks beautiful. They have also really reworked her whole face compared to the Legend and Anniversary versions of Lara, making her more realistic and believable. She's still got big lips and tits but that's just how she was designed originally.
Sadly there are only 2 artwork renders which we have all seen before. So far we know that this TR is set around the ancient Mayan calender and this means we will mostly be trekking around Mexico and central America, I refreshing change. There are pyramids in Mexico whoever, they are small ones.. but I have no idea if that makes a difference.
Some main differences with this game is that motion capture is being used for the first time. This will be big news to some and a surprise to others. It certainly was a surprise to find out all previous Lara titles were animated by hand and without capture technology. Olympic gymnast Heidi Moneymaker (ironic name) will be acting out most of Lara'spsychical movements while Keeley Hawes (returning from Legend and Anniversary) gets the voice work done.

And I don't know why they make such a big fuss about tweaking her looks, these minute details are almost unnoticeable. Focus on good gameplay and level design!
