Better resolution and AA aren't minor things though. Anyway by virtue of it being the same game of course it'll look similar on a macro level. This isn't ROTTR part 2.
I mean, that's something they probably could have done with the XB1 version considering how its been implemented before and had no impact to performance metrics afterward
I'm talking about something more significant they could do with 50% GPU overhead(i'd assume that it scales linearly considering the XB1 version was already 1080p, so no resolution boost eating up GPU cycles)
I'm assuming some settings could be bumped up
Must be? You already are blind if you're saying stuff like that

That clean and crisp? They certainly do not. I wouldn't call it a "generational leap", but definitely a step above the X1 version.
I can wait, I have a big backlog.
That is the very definition of Uncanny Valley.
Yer, but I usually get that from the eyes. I think it's her lips which appear weird and almost plastic looking, but it may just be unflattering lighting.
Whatever the case, the game still looks incredible
Yeah, probably this

its the skin IMO, whatever SSS approximation they are doing isnt working well in this lighting condition

You guys are nitpicky as hell. I think that looks gorgeous.
If I'd complain about anything, it'd be that crappy looking fur. But..... no. Gorgeous.

The fact that any complaints can be considered nitpicks tells you just how good the game looks.

Protect your assets guys. Do what you must.
Do you guys have a screen grab of that cutscene he mentions for comparison?

What are you on? The fact that the PS4 port is one full year later or the fact that the PC version is the definitieve one.

Why would you need AA at 8K?

It's just his process. He's capturing shots at these crazy high resolutions because.... well, he explains here:
From an IQ standpoint, anything beyond 15 megapixels would probably be overkill.
I paid $4.75 for Tomb Raider after I got my PC a little over a year ago.
Coincidentally I just sat and played it THIS week and beat it last night (Ultimate settings)...now I am hyped for more!

That kind of proves their point... You got TR for $5 years after release.
Pretty hyped for this. The first TR was one of my absolute favs. I actually had the X1 version since release, and never played it. Sold it this week and bought a RotTR key here on GAF, and will play it on PC.
RoG Swift (Gsync, 1440p) or my 4K monitor is the decision that lies ahead...

I made the mistake of trying to play TR2013 after beating Uncharted 1,2,3 and The Last of Us back to back.
I kinda hated this Tomb Raider reboot and really could not get into it.
Anyways, Rise looks a lot better. And its been 2 years since my first attempt with the first one.. Maybe ill like it now.
Still, poor man's Uncharted all the way lol
Same here. Couldn't just appreciate tr2013 because of that.
That's why I will wait for a bargain price on this one, but at least looks better.

Strange. Huge Uncharted fan here, played through all 3 multiple times on PS3, bought the ND collection day 1, have a replica if Drakes ring, etc.
Huge fan.
That said I still loved Tomb Raider Definitive Edition on PS4. It was a great ride, and left me wanting more. Really pumped for Rise, wish it had been current gen only.
From the looks of it this will still look fantastic on PC.

Huge uncharted fan here and after playing rise, then saying to my mrs she might love Uncharted and getting the trilogy I realised how much better than uncharted Rise is. I hope uncharted 4 copies a lot of Rise's open areas. Uncharted feels so linear and too much of a shooter after Rise.

Wow, that looks great (the actual gameplay shots).

The former! Even though I'd be fine with a cleaner looking 1440p, 120FPS is just so wonderful!

Uncharted is always linear experience and will never change. According to ND, they wanted to create a summer blockbuster movie which can be played from start to the end in linear fashion, but not like sandbox game. UC4 has open areas but they wont offer same freedom which rise provides and also weapons upgrades and customizations wont be there. Both games are completely different experiences so if you expect that then you'll be disappointed.

1080p @ 60FPS or 1440p @ 144FPS for me.

What kind of GPU are you rocking?

I rarely ever get the Uncharted comparisons (and, if nothing else, Tomb Raider has lost a sense of its identity by trying to head down the Uncharted path.
That said, I do like that Rise Of The Tomb Raider feels a little less like Uncharted than TR 2013 did. I'll just never understand the folks who feel that one has to "be better" or "like" the other. They can co-exist, after all.

Best Lara.
Yeah, a year later, not 'years'. TR came out in 2013, I paid $4.75 in 2014.
I'd wait a year to save $55 off a game. hehe My backlog ain't going nowhere at this point.

Tomb Raider 2013 dropped to around $10 12 weeks after launch.
Not that I hope this will happen again. I urge people who like big single player games to support the game at a higher price than $5-10.
SE do seem to discount the game quickly though. I feel the ip is well known but many people want it cheap. This can work out as the PC game sold around 3.5-4 million. That's a significant return to add to the console sales of the first reboot.
