Victor wanted us to change in-game Lara to appeal more to a Japanese audience. Huge eyes/head etc. They faxed through examples really late in dev. Toby Gard really didn't want to alter Lara. As a compromise all that was changed was the manuals & guide. Not sure who did that render or illustrations.
@cnhyv.bsky.social Hello Paul, do you have any info on this? I've found an old post of yours talking about the illustrations (xcancel.com/cnhyv/status...) but what about the 3D render? Was that also part of Victor Interactive's "suggestions"?
