I am a die hard TR fan and have been since I was a little girl. I remember I was 5 years old and I would sit with my mum and watch her play on my little PS1 that I got when I was 4 years old and oh my god it was great. Ever since then I have played each game and have finished ever single one. I have to confess that I loved the old Lara so much more than I do the new one. The new Lara just isn't the same. She is weak and nothing like I would have imagined Lara to be when she was younger. The old Lara I looked up to as a role model. She was a strong woman who did things by her rule book and I wanted to be like her. I still do! I want to be that strong independent woman and that was something the new game did not deliver for me. I still love Lara though and I hope that future games will be better than the newest reboot and take us back to some of the classic times with Lara. If not I will still play them...though I fear that I may eventually slip back to the old games and just play them over and over again.
Lara Croft is my favourite game and I grew up with her and her adventure games.While playing and listening to the main soundtracks makes me have some weird feelings about her. I remember that when I was younger I believed that she was a woman in real life.Too bad she is not.My dad grew those feelings to me for Lara,he learnt me how to play and I was next to him,watching him playing till midnight.I have finished most of her games(the 1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th,Legend)but I have stuck at the game ''The Angel Of Darkness''(and i believe that this is the best and the most diffucult) Thanks to everyone who made such a nice videogame... Greetings from Greece, Anastasia(a 13year old girl) (thumps up If you agree with what I say :) )
I grew up with the TR series too and to be honest I like her look in AOD the best. It was my favorite as well since it was the only tomb raider I could beat without help. My siblings and I worked as a team back then figuring things out together when we got stuck. I gotta admit although I didn't like the CD versions as it really didn't provide any challenge compared to the old games. I'm hoping the recent version of Lara will grow to resemble the one from the originals.
Mee too! Me and my father are HUGE fans of lara, and we have all the first 5 classic games, i remember when i was a little kid, i saw my dad play it every single day... Good times ;)
This game is dripping with amazement with the help with Nathan McCree & Peter Connelly (Imagine playing Tomb Raider without their pieces (simply mute ambience music:|)). Thanks a bunch Eidos & Core Design! :)
I really prefer the old version of Lara Croft (1990's). At the beginning she is a real and mature beautiful woman. In the last version she has a baby face, looks like a shy little girl :(
The game plays it out like its her first time by herself. All the notes and documets in the game hint at it. She wasnt prepared for a battle, she didnt even have her guns. You cant have an old mature lara on her first mission that would be dumb. She had to start somewhere.
DandTprod Something is missing from the Tomb Raider reboot. I liked the game, but it feels weird for some unexplainable reason. I'd give it at most an 8.75.
I always liked the Core Design developers more than Crystal Dynamics , i mean alot has changed since 1996 but they seemed to keep a sence of the trueness to the games along the way. Me personaly , i think the first three were masterpeices even though i find the most recent ones a step in a new generational direction as well as Camilla Luddington is a great profile for the new Laura. I do look foward to the future on Crystal Dynamics and what they will bring to us.
I really like the latest version of lara. They made it more realistic.. her body is more realistic not those boobs whos even bigger than a balloon.. just normally shaped boobs. Her emotions are more realistic. Her hair is beautifull and her face?? Wow she became really pretty
Nice video, smart selection of pictures. The problem is that most of them are artwork pieces, not clips from the gameplay itself, which means that one can't get an idea of what a previous game looks like if they haven't tried it. By the way, compare TR 1-8 to 2013... First, a Lara explorer, eager to discover astounding landscapes, solve riddles, navigate challenging terrains... now, a "justified" killer, a sky raining enemies down, a game with too much cruelty to be enjoyable. Just a thought :)
:'( playing Tomb Raider 2 will always make me feel like a kid again (it was my first Tomb Raider game) and always remind me of why Lara Croft was my childhood idle.
I started playing this game when I was about 4 years old. Back in 1998. TR II is my favorite. Then TR III & TR IV. I also love LEGEND. Underworld was good too. The first game and Chronicles were great too. Angel Of Darkness has never been my cup of tea.Can I just say that this game is so damn epic... for me at least. I want to go back in time and play the levels for the first time to explore everything. Currently I'm playing TR IV.It's so damn amazing! I love LARA and thanks for this amazing vid
That old music brought back a lot of good childhood memories, I loved Lara when I was a kid! It's amazing to see how far she has come! Amazing! I'm glad to see the new game hasn't strayed away from the supernatural theme it began with. Lara Croft is a reason I am proud to be British!
Very good Lara video! Well done! (Liked how the music changed too with every game). Just a short story: I had played TR 2&3 and had bought "Last Revelation" but had not played it yet. I was playing other games and my wife played "Last Revelation". I helped her through some hard parts and was watching the game progress. When she reached the end and I saw that Eidos basically tried to kill Lara off, I could not believe it! To play a game all the way through to have THAT ending! Then they put out "Chronicles" to back up the idea that Lara had died. To this day, I still hate Eidos for doing that and STILL have not played "Last Revelation". As we all know, Lara is alive and doing very well. Thank God! LoL! I do own and enjoy AOD, Legend, Underworld, and 2013.
cudnt agree more!! the music and feeling of isolation and ambience really made the first few games epic..especially number 1, still my favourite..cant see this new one being as good!!
I hate how everyone is like "OMG SHE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE LARA" (the new Lara Croft). And I'm just like, "Yes, she does. All the other Lara's are kind of cartoonish. They actually went the route of REALISTIC graphics. If Lara was a young, REAL person, this is what she would look like." Great video btw!
δεν το ειχα φανταστει οτι θα υπηρχε σε βιβλιωπολεια ,ακομα κ στο τζαμπο.. :) :) σε ευχαριστω πολυ για την πληροφορια αυτη,πραγματικα μου λειπει πολυ αυτο το παιχνιδι..
You realize that just because someone has a different opinion, it doesn't mean they're not a fan, right? You can think one is better than the others. Not all Lara's are the same Lara. TR2013 shows how that specific Lara became someone who was broken & had to put herself back together in an unfamiliar & hostile environment in order to survive, thus becoming the bad ass adventurer we love, where as, let's say TRL Lara, became the adventurer she is (presumably) because of her mothers disappearance.
Tomb Raider just arrived today (and the OST) and I'm really excited to play it, but I have to wait until the weekend (deadlines... *sigh*) but I love this evolution. I wasn't going to play Tomb Raider, but I played all the others and not playing this one didn't feel right. I've got to say that I'm so glad Lara is a proper action hero - she was a big influence for me growing up, to be honest.
Man. People will probably say i don't know crap since im only 11 , but actually i grew up on tomb raider. I miss it. Tomb raider 1-3 got me into gaming. And honestly, i haven't found many games better then them
I fucking love the new tomb raider 2013. One of the best games ive ever played in my entire life and thats in all seriousness. Great story. Great characters. Great weapons. Great enemys. Great Lara. Just so enjoyable and well worth every penny. A story that can be enoyed and played over and over again! Love it! Bring on the next one!!!
I've been playing this from the start and I'm so excited for this new game!! It needed a bit of a revamp. I've been watching game play and it look's great!! Wow just wow! I can't wait till March!!!! :/
The ones I've never played were 1, 3 and Underworld. I played and finished the rest. I love the challenges of the classics, but I love how Lara became beautiful with better graphics, and the landscapes too. I wish they had continued the Egypt story after Angel of Darkness.
It got tear in my eye to see how we all grew up on her,she is an embodiment of class,sophistication,good morals and courage and i can't wait to play the new tomb raider,it's time for Lara Croft's origins:)
fully agreed. I'd left the TR franchise for dead prior to the reboot, now I'm a huge fan again. the new Lara is perfect. also the 2013 reboot is one of the best-looking games I've ever played. you can tell the developers really put their hearts into it all.
great photo finds :D Tomb Raiders 2, 3 and 4 are by far my favourites. Legend, see everyone is saying it's theirs, but I really didn't like it as much as the old school ones. Sure it was good, but not great :3 as for Underworld, it was way too glitchy and bugged for my liking, especially when EA said they had managed to let some bugged games out for both the Wii and the X-Box, I must have been one of the unlucky ones. Well i really wish 2013 would come quicker, it looks fantastic :D
I remember playing tomb raider 1 and the music is so iconic... You can really tell when crystal Dynamics started as Lara looks more realistic. Looking forward to the new game coming out plus the film. Die hard fan of tomb raider here lol. Does anyone else who plays the old core games keep having to go back to "pick something up", only to realize it's just the graphics? lol
I'm excited for the new Tomb Raider :D I recently bought the Tomb Raider Trilogy for my Ps3 to remind my self how awesome the games were/are even though the new game is a prequel :P Still Very Excited :D
No! "When Underworld was finished, that was the end to the trilogy, and kind of the end of a whole era for us. We took a step back as a studio and spent a couple of months experimenting, trying to make a decision on how to go forward"- Brand Director Karl Stewart :)
The music is so therapeutic. Feels soothing, like I'm back being a child playing this game. I love it!

The early Lara , was the best EVER!!!
Absolutely agree
The reason Lara doesn't seem the same in the new Tomb Raider is because it's a reboot and it also shows how Lara came to be a badass.
BEST GAME EVER
till underworld ... her new design and story is so common.. this is not Lara anymore
+Xxx Newthug Xxx Newthug Agree.
It was also good in Legend...
Legend and the last one are my favorites!
Thank you for such an amazing video. Appreciate that you took the time to make this.
My favorites are TR-Legend, TR-Underworld and Tomb Raider 2. Keeley Hawes and Camila Luddington are my favs for voices of Lara.
Yeah exactly haha
The song in 11:00 is in Tomb Raider Legend but what its the name of the song?
The song appears when you complete any level except Bolívia redux (mission summary)
I love that you included the different introductory music from each game ^^
Lara Croft is my favourite game and I grew up with her and her adventure games.While playing and listening to the main soundtracks makes me have some weird feelings about her.

Thanks to everyone who made such a nice videogame...

I'm 13 :D I was with my sister,I had my pc... it broke... But now I have an Intel Mac and I can play all tr,I finished 2,4,5,6,Legend and Underworld
Lara is truly a legendary video game icon.
At 8:07 she looks REAL! :o
This game is dripping with amazement with the help with Nathan McCree & Peter Connelly (Imagine playing Tomb Raider without their pieces (simply mute ambience music:|)). Thanks a bunch Eidos & Core Design! :)
what the graphic getting better lara gets beautiful and beautiful :)
With*
but...
in our souls..
she will be lara...
the same old lara from 96
lara croft was my first game and i grew with it and when i see these images it reminds me of the good time
I really prefer the old version of Lara Croft (1990's). At the beginning she is a real and mature beautiful woman. In the last version she has a baby face, looks like a shy little girl :(
That's because she's still a teenager (more or less) in the new game. :P
The game plays it out like its her first time by herself. All the notes and documets in the game hint at it. She wasnt prepared for a battle, she didnt even have her guns. You cant have an old mature lara on her first mission that would be dumb. She had to start somewhere.
DandTprod Something is missing from the Tomb Raider reboot. I liked the game, but it feels weird for some unexplainable reason. I'd give it at most an 8.75.
Deimos262 Is it the short shorts?
N-no. I meant gameplay wise. She's probably the cutest in this installment though. Cutest voice in TR4 though.
I like the old games because they remember me of my childhood, but Legend was really good too. :)
so many memories :))))
***** i take the PSX when he comes at europe... first month without analog controller ;) 1996 :)))
Thanks! This was so epic!! I had to get my original boxes out and show my 8 year old daughter the magic! Now playing the new one!!
They should remake AoD into a better game tbh
Legend Lara is the best! ^^
I always liked the Core Design developers more than Crystal Dynamics , i mean alot has changed since 1996 but they seemed to keep a sence of the trueness to the games along the way. Me personaly , i think the first three were masterpeices even though i find the most recent ones a step in a new generational direction as well as Camilla Luddington is a great profile for the new Laura. I do look foward to the future on Crystal Dynamics and what they will bring to us.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO.
I'm watching this video, and it's so awesome. i love it.
Thanks for that great video.
tomb raider 4 the best!... It is the best and for me the hardest.
I was thrilled to see this video knowing that I played every game in the franchise
I really like the latest version of lara. They made it more realistic.. her body is more realistic not those boobs whos even bigger than a balloon.. just normally shaped boobs. Her emotions are more realistic. Her hair is beautifull and her face?? Wow she became really pretty
Yeah, would be cool if in the next game we can get 2013 Lara but with Underworld gear and style.
+larissa hoefjeniettewetej i like her look from legends, but maybe that's because she looks like a more mature lara
Nice video, smart selection of pictures.

Great video, brings back alot of great gaming memories. Tomb raider my #1 game series :)
role on 2013
Nice. Where did you find all these cinematic shots. There were so many I've never seen before.
You did a really good video :D Great job !!
I started playing this game when I was about 4 years old. Back in 1998. TR II is my favorite. Then TR III & TR IV. I also love LEGEND. Underworld was good too. The first game and Chronicles were great too. Angel Of Darkness has never been my cup of tea.Can I just say that this game is so damn epic... for me at least. I want to go back in time and play the levels for the first time to explore everything. Currently I'm playing TR IV.It's so damn amazing! I love LARA and thanks for this amazing vid
Brings back so many memories , hours of playing after school.
That old music brought back a lot of good childhood memories, I loved Lara when I was a kid!
It's amazing to see how far she has come! Amazing! I'm glad to see the new game hasn't strayed away from the supernatural theme it began with.
Lara Croft is a reason I am proud to be British!
Very good Lara video! Well done! (Liked how the music changed too with every game). Just a short story:

As we all know, Lara is alive and doing very well. Thank God! LoL!
I do own and enjoy AOD, Legend, Underworld, and 2013.
Lara Croft II was my first game. Even now that i'm 20 i still loving all the games of her.
hey dreaminsuika in the concept art for tomb raider you show things like silent hill rejects chasing lara, where did you get those?
cudnt agree more!! the music and feeling of isolation and ambience really made the first few games epic..especially number 1, still my favourite..cant see this new one being as good!!
What is the name of the song playing during the new Tomb Raider pictures?
I hate how everyone is like "OMG SHE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE LARA" (the new Lara Croft). And I'm just like, "Yes, she does. All the other Lara's are kind of cartoonish. They actually went the route of REALISTIC graphics. If Lara was a young, REAL person, this is what she would look like." Great video btw!
δεν το ειχα φανταστει οτι θα υπηρχε σε βιβλιωπολεια ,ακομα κ στο τζαμπο.. :) :) σε ευχαριστω πολυ για την πληροφορια αυτη,πραγματικα μου λειπει πολυ αυτο το παιχνιδι..

Thank you Dreamin Suika.

18 years ago I played TR for the very first time...I really miss the old Lara..so many good times.
great video!! Can you put all wallpapers in a zip file? It would be amazing :)
tomb raider 1 2 3 and all the old ones and legend are the best

I remember playing it around 6 years old for myself. Such great games and memories they hold.

Game series are 2 years older than me and i've been playing it since i was 5 :D
Tomb raider legend Best game ever
i want know it too! What's the title of the song of the tomb raider 2013?
You shouldve placed the year of each game when it was released, but all in all great job!
What theme u used in TR9???
This brings back so many memories... Haha she's an icon in video games. I love the Tomb Raider series and Lara Croft
It just goes to show you CG sure has come a looooooong way.~ x)
so that's THE official music theme for tomb raider 2012? if not, where can i find that piece?
Great video ! BRAVO !
And Marduksumer you ré absolutely Right : Legend is THE Best !
Tomb Raider just arrived today (and the OST) and I'm really excited to play it, but I have to wait until the weekend (deadlines... *sigh*) but I love this evolution.

I've got to say that I'm so glad Lara is a proper action hero - she was a big influence for me growing up, to be honest.
nice vid but if this in 2011 how do u know about the new one being added in this list?
What is the name of the song at 10:55 please ? :)
Whaaaaaaaa? That game was amazing! I loved the story line! I don't think I ever noticed the glitches/bugs, but what do you expect from an old game? D:
Man. People will probably say i don't know crap since im only 11 , but actually i grew up on tomb raider. I miss it. Tomb raider 1-3 got me into gaming. And honestly, i haven't found many games better then them
I fucking love the new tomb raider 2013. One of the best games ive ever played in my entire life and thats in all seriousness. Great story. Great characters. Great weapons. Great enemys. Great Lara.

The first Lara is a cartoon while the latest is really a person. Cool evolution of technology.
The ones I've never played were 1, 3 and Underworld. I played and finished the rest. I love the challenges of the classics, but I love how Lara became beautiful with better graphics, and the landscapes too.
I wish they had continued the Egypt story after Angel of Darkness.
The one in the Tomb Raider Chronicles screen is the London level load screen for TRIII :p
where did you get all the pretty pictures? :D
It got tear in my eye to see how we all grew up on her,she is an embodiment of class,sophistication,good morals and courage and i can't wait to play the new tomb raider,it's time for Lara Croft's origins:)
fully agreed. I'd left the TR franchise for dead prior to the reboot, now I'm a huge fan again. the new Lara is perfect. also the 2013 reboot is one of the best-looking games I've ever played. you can tell the developers really put their hearts into it all.
I've never seen so beautiful a video about Miss Croft. Beautiful songs, wonderful changes ... But I ask only one thing: Lara Croft never gets old? xD
TR Legend is da best IMO. Underworld is actually way overboard with puzzles but what really got me through is how stunning Ms. Croft is in it
great photo finds :D
Tomb Raiders 2, 3 and 4 are by far my favourites. Legend, see everyone is saying it's theirs, but I really didn't like it as much as the old school ones. Sure it was good, but not great :3 as for Underworld, it was way too glitchy and bugged for my liking, especially when EA said they had managed to let some bugged games out for both the Wii and the X-Box, I must have been one of the unlucky ones.
Well i really wish 2013 would come quicker, it looks fantastic :D
which name of the song is tomb raider 2012? it's amazing!
I love how her body proportions get more realistic as the series progresses.
I remember playing tomb raider 1 and the music is so iconic... You can really tell when crystal Dynamics started as Lara looks more realistic. Looking forward to the new game coming out plus the film. Die hard fan of tomb raider here lol. Does anyone else who plays the old core games keep having to go back to "pick something up", only to realize it's just the graphics? lol
Also, what is the name of the song from 10:56 to 13:22?
God that brings back memories, I was five when I first started playing the games. I always did that to winston too... :3
I loved the first 5 games. The first one really stood out from other PS1 games that were out at the time and it was well ahead of its time.
great vid (although 10:22 is an obvious Photoshop :p) its nice to see lara throughout her lifetime :)
muy buen vídeo , tomb raider es un juego que sigue siendo fiel a sus orígenes
the most that i love is chronicles really great game ,, love lara there ..
:)
Tomb Raider 1, where it all begin. The theme song will always have a very special place in my heart. Brings back lots of memories.
What's the name of the song for Tomb Raider 2013??? please
Say what you want, but I think it looks epic; cannot wait for it to come out
Its design is amazing and it shows how Lara became the person she is
What's the name of the last song?
I'm excited for the new Tomb Raider :D I recently bought the Tomb Raider Trilogy for my Ps3 to remind my self how awesome the games were/are even though the new game is a prequel :P Still Very Excited :D
No! "When Underworld was finished, that was the end to the trilogy, and kind of the end of a whole era for us. We took a step back as a studio and spent a couple of months experimenting, trying to make a decision on how to go forward"- Brand Director Karl Stewart :)
i'd love to know the render time of the first image back in 1996^^
