Thanks CGI!

Im reaaaaaaaaaaaally wanting to rent this for the PS4. Looks great during gameplay.

It is the definitive version - it includes all the original DLC, a digital version of the Dark Horse comic, a mini art book and developer videos.

I have the PC version and it looks amazing. They should have made the definitive version $19.99

Thanks for posting some good shots, GGI-Quality. I presumed there was some cherry picking going on.

Tomb Raider was fantastic. I have no desire to play again now, but maybe down the road I'll pick it up on the X1.

So this essentially confirms what I had tested for myself and posted about in the other forum about Tomb Raider's definitive edition. I took the highest res PS4 definitive edition videos (though obviously compressed) and compared them to the game running maxed on my PC and felt the PC version definitely looked better. Again, I recognized there's video compression versus native resolution rendering, but I was looking at details.

I think this is why there is no PC definitive version, they know that the PC version already looks better in many aspects, despite the "upgrade" to the PS4/XBox1 versions, which seem to summarize to more foliage, more rocks, and altered textures (note some of the textures just look different, but not of higher quality than the PC version).

I think a fair comparison would be between PS4 and a $400 PC. Because honestly, the comparison would look like last gen vs. this gen. Right now it's PS4 vs. 'a rig that costs thousands of dollars that can max everything out'.

So, for someone who's either going next-gen or nothing this might be a worthwhile purchase. Though I will say this game should be $40 since it's not actually a new title.

From the direct native screenshots comparisons, what it amounts to is what I said earlier.  The PC version looks better in MANY aspects, not ALL of them.  And, as I mentioned, it doesn't seem it's always slightly sharper textures.  In some cases, it's just a retexture, and in other cases, the PC has the higher resolution texture.  It's great that the PS4 is showing the ability to close the gap with an older PC port (obviously, if they added all of these features to the PC version, we'd have the PC version clearly back on top), but the graphics goggles only go so far: there are enough people saying that it's just not worth playing the definitive version if you've played the game already.  Combine that with the PC having graphics that "closely match" (happy? lol) the definitive edition, and having the game much cheaper, there's definitely no reason for a PC gamer to double dip, because they're not missing out on anything.

Seeing Lara turn psychotic off and on there looks hilarious.

Not really. Even at maxed settings and SweetFX, the graphics were above average at best. Not jaw dropping. There's a ton posted on the screenshot thread.

Just bought this on amazon.com. It's $8.99 but I have some of those $5 vouchers which they issued before christmas when you bought digital downloads. So $3.99 or about £2.50 in my money.

My gaming rig is fairly low end. It's a AMD A10 5800K with dual graphics HD6670. Cost just over £200 and in theory sits between xbox one and ps4 in gpu performance and beats them easily for cpu power but doesn't compare to ps4 for memory bandwidth. Anyway it performs like this for Tomb Raider.

That video doesn't look particularly well setup for the game but gives you an idea of performance. I think the latest drivers achieve much more and the AMD gaming evolved app is good at getting optimised performance.

Even on my humble rig the game looks superb at 1080p with fluid animation. I did the benchmark util and I'm getting 45-50 fps at 1080p on mid-level settings. Very beautiful game and great beginning. £2.50 well spent.
