Coming to the console, hd collections are mostly 60 fps & 720p but because they have exactly the same graphic setting of the past generation. That's it. Probably 60fps requires exactly the same setting of the last generation.

Tomb Raider Definitive Edition (PS4/XB1) is 30 FPS
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
I think it's pretty cynical to say it's only a resolution bump, they clearly added lots of new effects, tweaks to lighting and particle effects, reworked models in certain areas, less compressed textures, etc.
I saw the comparison video and thought the PS4 version looked greatly enhanced. people act like they literally just tweaked the resolution and then shipped it
It probably could have but they chose to improve the graphics further and keep 30fps instead of just a resolution bump at 60.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I see, To be fair those are last gen prices even lightning Returns is 59,99 where its £37 here
In the UK that cheap for a PS4 title, but I get what you mean, nowhere offering it for lower?
They are not shitty, but they are pretty low end on the hardware side of things.
Anyway, people who say Tress 2.0 isn't the reason for the 30 FPS are gullible. That's the whole reason this game isn't pushing 60. I bet if they brought 2.0 over to the PC version it would still put low end enthusiast cards to work.

Terrible. Simply terrible.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
30fps for a port that still looks last gen. Damn I don't even know how you guys can even defend this anymore.
Thanks to God. It seems a lot here don't know to what they talking about. Probably don't know even this video.
Ah low end yeah... & here we go again.
Is this a statement that will we will see all generation long? Hmm...

Why does everyone keep saying last gen game when the pc version ran like this with ps4 equivalent card.
No doubt if they just raised the resolution and kept the same textures,lighting, particle effects and low poly models without tessellation it would run at 60fps. You can't have both.

Saw the same vid. Was really unimpressed.
I mean, I'm not saying it looked like an awesome totally new next-gen game, it certainly still looked like a last-gen game, but there was a tangible improvement in visuals

So just $120 for the Definitive Definitive Edition?

Id hate to have you're eyes then, I was impressed bigtime, Especially with the new face, Look how much better she looks now, Current gen her looks deformed compared too it. It's not a £50 upgrade but I didn't play the current version. Maybe it's a console/PC thing.....PC gamers are used to nitpicking and having the best, Console gamers give no fucks so to speak and are just generally happy with it looking good.
old face on the left, new on the right ...

Depends on how many next-gen console buyers feel that their purchase entitled them to nothing but 60 FPS games.
It's like listening to people bitch about lack of horsepower after buying a Chevy Cavalier. No shit, Sherlock. If horsepower was so important to you, then you should have bought a Mustang.

I think that is probably a legitimate possibility. Like AC4. These are 30fps franchises (on consoles) and in some ways it makes sense for them to keep it that way.
Still. I just don't find it impressive. They missed the next gen launch hype, the game is old, shouldn't be $60 for a graphics mod...
We saw a nudge towards 60fps next gen with BF4 being 60fps on consoles (though I am not sure if they will stick to 60 for BF5), Halo 5 will be sacrificing visuals for 60fps. But I haven't seen it make a big impact on console development expectations.

I think that's with TressFX on?
TressFX isn't worth the framerate hit.. I played through it on PC and 60 FPS adds a lot more to the gameplay than TressFX.

For those wondering, Lachlan Williams is editor-in-chief of OnlySP and went hands-on with the PS4 version, it's worth a read about all the graphical updates: http://www.onlysp.com/tomb-raider-definitive-edition-hands-on-preview/
I asked him if he experienced any FPS drops:

Bodes well. This was never going to be 60fps with higher than Ultra PC settings, 1080p, and Tress but a smooth 30 is nice. Hopefully more devs aim for at least that instead of the abysmal framerates of the past couple years.For those wondering, Lachlan Williams is editor-in-chief of OnlySP and went hands-on with the PS4 version, it's worth a read about all the graphical updates: http://www.onlysp.com/tomb-raider-definitive-edition-hands-on-preview/

Not all that surprising. Tress fx is super demanding. On my gtx 670 tress fx would drop it to 40ish fps. I played with it off mostly.

Still gonna pick it up. It looks great and it will help me get through the next Gen drought until February and March. I've played and beaten all my Xbox One games and need something new.

Not exactly the faces that were shown during the comparison with ps3 I don't think. As those were night and day comparisons.
The people that thought that the RAM upgrade meant 60fps didn't really know what RAM does.
Eh, not everyone. I wasn't expecting 1080p, let alone 60fps. I just expected my games to look a lot better. Now they look a lot better, and they're in 1080p. Bonus.
Of course, I could play the definitive version on my PC, but I don't think my Phenom II / 5850 will run it at 1080p30, never mind anything higher.

A lot of people also weren't saying that, but nice generalization.
Also, because one developer doesn't hit those numbers doesn't mean others won't.
Todays gamer is all about the cinematic experience so they should love it. And seeing all the alright with me fits perfectly.
You're right, I was generalizing, but i have to disagree with "A lot of people also weren't saying that". GAF was pretty unbearable back then if you weren't a console warrior.
Not with TresFX turned on.
I got 60fps with TressFX turned on, but then again I have a GTX 680 SLI setup. TressFX (or rather Physx in general) is a performance killer. It wasn't worth it with AC4, but I did like it with TR.

Wow, 30fps is pretty fuckin sad. Epic fail.
The hyperbole is strong in this thread. TR was a damn fine game, I enjoyed it immensely on the PC. This is obviously the best console version. It's completely unrealistic to expect both TressFX hair simulation and 60fps when you need two GTX 680s to get a stable 60fs on the PC.

Really?
Not sure how you managed that i got a 670 and still struggled. I was going like 30 to 50 FPS with TressFX latest drives and everything.
