AAA games are aiming for mass audience appeal to try to rake in the $$$, so games currently been made seem to have big resources that have to get spread around building features and gimmicks, multiplayer and micro transactions. The Obvious choice seems going with a tried and winning formula. I don't believe there is an agenda against strong realistic female characters, its just that something is holding them back, and along with many realistic male characters. Fantasies and cliches are easier to sell and market, they have mass market appeal and provide instant gratification.

The setting for this game sounds very interesting. Lara with bow and arrows, survivor on an island. Seeing the art on cover reminds me of Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games, different yet familiar. Sure to attract a new audience. Just wondering did they really need to reboot Tomb raider and lara croft, why not just invent a new protaganist and franchise? and instead this game been something of a spiritual successor.

This will mean any games released the January- February that are classified R18+ will be delayed in Queensland then? not that I can't wait for something, but what crap is this.
