Both look crap.

Also in the original Tomb Raider you didn't see the front of Lara Croft unless you went out of your way to do so

[Captain]

Except half the time when the camera moved and during every cutscene. Retard.

[DTS]

The cutscenes were pre-rendered CGI...

OK half of them were pre-rendered, but they could and should have all been.

Shut up you plum

I think dts is trying to make a point.
But I find it difficult to determine what that point is, exactly.

[DTS]

The point is the front of Lara Croft was lower polygoned and lower detailed because you hardly ever saw it when playing the game; you viewd her from the back. So comparing her front to newer graphics ain't fair. The original game's representation of her front was intended as the (pre-rendered) cut-scene version.

[Transient]

It's worth pointing out that no character nowadays has a lower poly count on the front because it's viewed less frequently.

[obsidian]

If polycounts were equivalent to IQ, DTS would still be one vertex shy of a triangle.
