Lara Croft going M-rated in next game to combat struggling sales?

MTV Multiplayer reported this afternoon that gamers could be seeing an adult-rated Tomb Raider in the near future.

Lara Croft to reveal all in next game to combat struggling sales?

UPDATE: Fixed headline to more accurately portray the MTV Multiplayer story

At the very least, it'll be M-rated.

The rumor is mostly because the economy is taking no prisoners, as 30 of Eidos' former Crystal Dynamic employees can tell anyone.

That's just the current big news on the Internet. What we find interesting is the timing of this article from Games Industry Dot Biz, saying that Eidos' crashing shares recovered a bit in its last round of stock trading.

Will Lara Croft's breasts help to buoy Eidos' stock? Only time, and our wallets, will reveal the naked truth.

Hmmmm... I don't even know what to say to this. I've been a fan of the series ever since the first title but isn't this just a sign of desperation? How about making an awesome game without having to pull stunts like this?
I am not against it but I don't see how this will make gameplay more fun, not to mention that I find it hard to be true.

Ok, now. This article is misleading, hinting at nudity and all that. They were talking about an M rated Tomb Raider but that was it.

No kidding this article is misleading. They don't even hint at nudity, just a more violent game potentially, and the opportunity for a darker subject matter. Boobs? That would ruin the game all together. That is part of the fun in Tomb Raider, the imagination element.

Lmao your telling me you wouldnt buy a game for cheap gimmics? how many ppl hunted down the original san andreas? i got 500 for mine that first month. I dunno man it would be a fun gimmick. I wonder what Jack Thompson is saying,,,,lol. Yall are getting too bent outta shape about this. perhaps you rather see a nude Drake.......

okay,.. I'm not a weirdo or anything, but I have been dying to see those giant mamaries exposed for years now.
There is one angle you can get with her from underneath that shows everything from legs to moose knuckle to her boobs.

I say go for it. As long as I can use the eyetoy or Live camera to put my face on the dude that beds her on a special quest.

As a matter of fact I would take it a step further and show full penetration,... and like every time she jumps, if she falls, something slips inadvertently into her vagina..."camera close up".

Or just make it really nasty. Really nasty. Like if she is out of ammo, she can rip out her tampon and hit a bullsye from 100Ft....

these are just suggestions by the way for unlockable content...they need me on their team, I'll turn them around real quick.

Yeah... but what if they turn it into a movie? hahaha!

I don't know if this will help their sales that much, I recall a game by Activision called BMX XXX during the last console days and I don't recall it having stellar sales records because of the boobage. Even with next/current gen graphics, if the game play is meh, then I doubt most gamers will lay out the 60 bones.

It still amazes me to see how few people actually read the article from MTV multiplayerblog.
