Only to then incorporate this exact AoD model as one of the optional skins for the two Reboot sequel games.
#Tomb raider angel of darkness gifs skin#
AoD skin was presented to try and prey on Core fans’ lingering disappointment over AoD being left unfinished BECAUSE of Eidos (same company that did not let them finish the Anniversary after stringing the Core team along for months).Ĭrystal, on it’s part, had no problem - as I noted above - having one of their male employees hold a riffle to AoD Lara’s head. In the same vein, Crystal are now presenting sexist male nerd crowd with the opportunity to reduce Laraboot’s muscles in photo-mode which is all the MORE evidence they don’t view either classic Lara or their sexist distortion of her that is Laraboot as characters in their own right.Īs for practicality and functionality, Crystal and Eidos are deliberately using the regular and/or most recognizable outfits from the Classic games to bait the classic fans. Which is why there is no example of Core Lara being sexualized in game versus multiple examples of Crystal sexualizing LAU Lara. But they are not above using her body to try to enhance the sales of their games (vain endeavor given the recent and repeatedly acknowledged by multiple gaming sites fiasco that was Shadow of the TR).Įidos has been doing this for years starting with when Core was in charge - except Core and particularly the women on the team like Heather Gibson vehemently opposed it and outright shut down Eidos’ requests for Lara’s sexualization. It was repeatedly established Crystal spreads lies and fallacies about the nature of Classic Lara’s story and has distorted her bio to make said story “acceptable” (trading passion for pain as the “empowering” motivator for a female character). Or Karl Stewart admitting to his fragile male ego being threatened by the supposed “arrogance” in the way Classic Lara communicated with people which is why he needed to hold a riffle to AoD Lara’s head to feel better about said ego. See Pratchett’s statement about a female character needing to be “feminine” in terms of the language she uses and her general attitude otherwise her womanhood will only be defined by “what’s in front of her chest”. They distorted Classic Lara’s personality, biography and motivations for reasons they have explicitly admitted to being misogynistic. If one needed the ultimate evidence of the fact that Crystal and Eidos reduce Classic Lara to her body and external look these fan-pandering skins would certainly come in handy (same with Crystal and Eidos’ general treatment of women and female characters, including LAU Lara and Laraboot).
