Some more. Here the lighting difference is more drastic. Xbox One bottom.

Yup, pretty big difference, though I'd be happy if I only had a 360.

That looks real good for a console that came out over a decade ago.

Yeah. It's amazing that there can be so much progress within one console generation.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I should also add "when the publisher cares, too."

At least they're not burying this like they did Titanfall 360. It's more impressive when you let developers flex their skill in public.

Titanfall was a whole other beast compare to Tomb Raider. I mean they tried. lol

 

[glassgannon]

if it werent for the tesselated hair, id genuinely be confused

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

What they pulled off on the 360 is straight voodoo. If I didn't have an X1 that wouldn't be a bad option.

360 Gameplay here, before it's taken down.

Youtube is not a good way to properly assess graphics but it looks good still.

The 360 version isnt too bad!!.....

Looks pretty good considering.

 

[Spiritwalker]

looks better than F4

Bow down to Nixxes again. Amazing (porting for now) studio. IMO, on par with M2 and Bluepoint Games.

Hope they're behind PC and PS4 versions.

Considering their past history of doing ports for this series, and also considering that Crystal Dynamics are apparently going straight on to a third Tomb Raider, I would imagine there's a very high chance that's exactly what they'll do next.

Tomb Raider is definitely looking like one of the higher quality downports, especially compared to the efforts we've seen this year from other current gen-last gen ports.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I hope Nixxes do the PC and PS4 versions, although the PC one might be in house

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

If the game gets good reviews, I could definitely pick up the 360 version. Nice to see such a high quality last-gen port.

 

[JayB1920]

Wonder what is going on here. Day one patch? One a pirated version? Here are shots from 2 different youtube playthroughs of the 360 version. Ignore the horrible black crush. Would be easier to compare without it but this is all there is.

(missing sun effect)

(missing plants behind Lara)

(missing plant shadows)

(missing shadows and wet effect)

Dam, I guess this will be the 360's swan song. I thought Halo 4 was was gonna be the last game to push the 360 to it's max. Seeing how good this looks makes me think of BO3 on last gen being a hot mess was due to the devs and not because it's purely next gen hardware.

TR reboot came after Halo 4. It was already better than H4 graphics. Lighting is amazing.

 

[jet1911]

i guess the game was developped with the 360 version in mind the whole time. At least everyone will have a quality product to buy.

 

[shinnn]

Kinda funny compare the two versions. X360 looks like an prototype, pre-alpha. Missing all the post-effects, shaders, lighting etc.

motion blur:

 

[Kezen]

The 360 seems to have much less ambient occlusion going on. It looks very flat.

 

[Inuhanyou]

It does look much flatter. On the other hand, i think the current gen version is post processed to hell, i wish they had dialed that down a bit.

But taken in a vacuum, the 360 version is more than acceptable, the XB1 version is just more polished and better looking in general

 

[interfreak]

Looks like the 360 is going to ride off into the sunset on a very high note indeed.

 

[Xan Kriegor]

Looking at the 360 version makes me even more sad about the weak current gen consoles we got.. Especially since this might be my last gen as a person interested in games..

If your no longer interested in games, what does it matter? Efficiency and profitability is how the industry is going, and it seems to be working for keeping the companies supplying/investing in these games around supporting the industry, so its all good in my book

I prefer the colour grading in the 360 footage but that might be the videos.
