No amount of graphical extras can make up for that hack job they did on her face. Hope when they do the PC version we get an option to go to old model.

What wrong with this face?

 Why are some people saying that  Fraud Edition looks better? This thread shows me that the PC version is far superior.

Which one is the PC version?

[PS4...?]

[PC...?]

Hard to tell, but I'm pretty sure it's the bottom one.



CG,

 

Those are good screenshots, thanks for providing them. To be perfectly honest, there can't be a direct comparison to ps4 and pc since the pc version is just a enhanced version of the 360/PS3 version. I think the game certainly looks better in many respects (the new model is debatable). $60 for a high resolution pack and model change is asking a awful lot from the consumer in my opinion. 



I'm sure the shots on the below link are already somewhere in this thread, but the PC version is decidedly *not* better in any way other than the ability to play at higher resolutions given the appropriate VGA card/set up.

I noticed the lighting effects were improved and that there appears to be ambient occlusion in the PS4 version which gives objects the illusion of having more depth. I also noticed a higher level of saturation in the colors probably due to the lighting, but possibly just the way that the PS4 renders the game resources.

I'm not buying Tomb Raider again (bought it during the holiday sales both retail copy and on PSN), but from what I've seen as far as full resolution screen captures go, the PS4 version is the best looking.

And yes, I have the majority of the previous Tomb Raiders on my Steam account, I bought a XB360 back in 2007 partly because the series was on XB and not PS3 at the time. So no, I'm not being impartial with regards to the series; I've been playing it on three separate platforms since Legend.

Nope.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Aww! And I thought I had it, too.

What you probably don't know is that all the PC screenshots of this comparison are downsampled from 1200p (at least).

Not really fair to compare PS4 screenshots versus downsampled 1200p images I think.

It's really easy to count the pixel on the top first PC pic, the vertical edge of the left.

 

When 1200p downsampled PC images are compared with 1080p next gen version... You know the next gen version is really good looking.

Which is the 1200p downsampled PC version?

Here a cropped detail from the first PC screenshot of this unfair comparison. With 18 pixels in width you can easily count at least 22 "steps" meaning probably a 1200p downsampled to 1080p image. I assume all the others PC screenshots are from the same PC game with a 1200p resolution.

Please stop using the pictures from this disingenuous website. Just use the pics from our own verified CGI.



Edited. My mistake.

Thanks so much for sharing these high quality screens.  Further proof that it still looks like the exact same f'n game.  The definitive edition needs to be $40 or less.
