A realistic take on an old design that doesn't require a major rework of the character?
You fool that'll never work!/s

Nice, I like it. All the accessories might be a bit too busy for a fully realistic looking game, but I could see it working with a few tweaks.

Man though, I'd just love a new Tomb Raider with a tough, mature british lady Indiana Jonesing her way through crazy locations. I can't see why a new game can't ever come out, especially with platformers being on the rise. One with such a classic character, taking her back to her roots would be welcomed.
