I will say this; I have absolutely never cared for Lara Croft in any way at any time before. What a boring and pointless character. Even with the movies.
I think I may actually become a fan of her when this game comes out. It really has the potential to make you care and root for her.
Sooo not sure how this can be a step in the wrong direction.
Kanz, I wonder if your initial impression of the trailer clouded your judgement of the whole thing. When the trailer started and she was hanging upside down and she was crawling around in the cave I definitely thought "yeah, Kanz is right, torture porn." But the development over the course of the trailer definitely won me over. That's really the only way I can explain your view of the trailer as a whole; made your judgement at the start and just held onto it the whole way which would be really quite foolish.
