Blender rendered of course. 4 light sources used. 2 of them were orangey yellow, you know, like she's standing near a torch. As you can clearly see, the GoL models aren't very high quality (so neither are the shadows) but this is all I could do. You can see the differences between TRU Lara quite nicely here, actually I like this face a bit more that TRU's.

GoL demo comments:
I played the demo today, have to say it's awesome they realized this is not a TOMB RAIDER game and renamed it to Lara Croft, because you can't call this a Tomb Raider. It's an arcade, it really is, and even though I wasn't happy at all with this concept at first, it's actually fun. And it will be fun, once the game will be released.. for real I mean. There's loads of weapons to be found, artifacts, relics and other fancy things, which I'm looking very forward to.
I think the main really GOOD decision CD made was changing the game's main focus from Lara to the enviroment (I'd like to change it back for TR9, thank you), because focusing on Lara isn't just what CD does best. So now the camera isn't a pain like in TRU, it takes quite a distance from Lara and you can overlook the fantastic enviroment filled with traps and puzzles and things to explode. There are side-quest tombs with shiny prizes to collect, giant monsters to throw spears into and lots of other lovely things. Seems that less detail goes into Lara, more details goes into everything else.
So far the game seemed creative, shiny and new. It's nothing like a Tomb Raider, but hey, it's not a TR, so what.

Oh and the "This is my kind of magic." line, when Lara gives a bomb to Totec can be translated as "I rather blow shit up instead". Very nicely said there, Lara.
