Wow. The PC version still looks much nicer. I'm assuming those are max settings, but is there any info on what kind of system its running on and the framerate?

Considering that his pics are disingenious (one is sub 1080p vid caps vs lossless HD screenshots), I'll give you what they look like based on my PC/PS4 combo game time:

[INSERT HIGH QUALITY PICS HERE]

Not that I want to get into the petty debates here any longer, but I even used Facebook's crappy uploader for 100% parity. The PS4 version does look better! I can max /run the original at 120fps+ on PC, but that version is missing some of the finer details of the PS4's Definitive Edition. This is on top of the fact that the Definitive Edition has improved physics, particle effects, water physics/behaviour, Lara's added SubSurface Scattering, improved lighting, and slightly better textures in many areas (that tree not necessarily being one of them, but looking at the same pic, you can see the foliage depth is improved over the PC version).

The PC does still win in regards to draw distance, framerate (as mentioned - if you can go higher than 60fps), and some AA, but everything else is better in The Definitive Edition (yes, including Lara's Hair - for those not on an AMD card). The "stuttering" is also overblown, given the game stutters on the PC too, no matter how powerful your rig is. 

So yes, carry on now.

Hmm, I still kind prefer the overall look of the PC version; in some screens, the contrast between environmental objects appears to be less glaring, and Lara looks like she fits into the game world a bit better - I dunno if that's due to higher AA or what. From your screens, the differences are mostly negligible to my eyes, though. I am noticing a bit more detail in the environment on the PS4 version, maybe.

Screens aren't exactly the best way to compare games anyway, come to think of it...

Concerning framerate, if your system can run the game at 120fps, shouldn't you be able to play without stutter of any kind if you cap it at 60fps?
