could this be a case of uncanny valley?  

 

This might be more helpful.

I actually don't mind the second picture here.  It almost looks like her right cheek (away from camera) has burn scarring in the newer one.  The first set of pictures Jack posted I didn't care for the new version.

I'm not seeing the need for them to be different either. It's not like a case of whacking Advent Children Cloud in over the model in FFVII HD, they're both similar quality models between the 7th n 8th gen versions. There was nothing wrong with the original model either that needed fixing up. Maybe something wrong behind the scenes? Lack of licences on using likeness for platforms beyond the original 3? The lost/broke the original model files?

 

Also second one in the second set she has a thousand yard stare going on instead of look of concern the first has that I imagine is the desired effect.

Graphical Comparison with Executive Producer Scot Amos

 

Basically goes over what changes were made and how it's all different from the original. I can see the obvious need of higher resolution texture, and implementing better particle effects. The lighting is what we're seeing making the color difference, but some of the lighting is definitely impressive.

 

Not that I would buy the game again, even if I had a PS4. If you're on a budget, I would still go with the 360/PS3 version. If you have a PS4 or Xbone, need something to play, and haven't played Tomb Raider, go ahead!

 

EDIT: For some reason I can't get the URL formatting to work with a title.

I would definitely recommend the game to anyone who hasn't played it, but having played the PC version I have no plans to double-dip.

 

*Edit* - Watching that video I do think Lara looks better in the new version, even though from the screenshots I didn't.
