pretty much, if something like this gives PC problems imagine what Naughty Gods can do.

I really wish the xbone version ran just as good as the ps4 version. I've got both systems and I really wanted to throw my x1 a bone. But that frame rate. I just can't.

Wow, it's still a big difference from PC to PS4. The PS4 seems to still be missing some stuff in those shots like shadows, specular lights, props, texture resolution, etc.
Character models do look better on PS4 though.
Edit: They don't look better just for being on PS4, they simply ARE better because they were actually updated.
Yeah if no one creates it, I will. The meltdowns would be too good to get buried in here.

lol, I couldn't help it.
My thoughts exactly. Crystal Dynamics seems to have done a great job porting this over.
Kinda wish I hadn't already Platinum'ed this so recently on PS3 otherwise I'd double dip.

It's impressive to me that people are even having to nitpick over the comparison shots. The PS4 makes an impressive showing here. I have a 920D at 4ghz and a 7970 GHZ and I get about 50 fps average with everything jacked at 1080p.

Instead of being overly bias you could just admit that both versions have their benefits.
If this comparison is anything to go by than its clearly evident that the console version defiantly has its pro's
PC
Vs
Console
It strikes me funny how this example gets ignored in favor of 4k resolution over 2k resolution.
Well, that's obvious. 4K auto-magically adds "wind sound," "birds circling in the air" and "trees swaying side-to-side."

So you're telling me you can play this game at 4K, with tessellation on, Ultra settings, xxSSAA(it goes from 2x-8x, I think), TressFX on, AND keep it at 60fps at ALL times? You must have a beast of a PC, then. How much was it? $700+?
Oh yes, no worries. After a half day with this on X1 I can definitely say best looking game I've ever played. Nothing to complain about on the FR side as well. More than holds up. This entire game convinces me early on this machine is more than capable of putting out some stellar looking games this gen.

some pc players are out of touch with reality i have a i7 with a gtx770 and i cant get the game to run at 1080p at 60 fps with the hair effects activated and you talk me about 4k?
come on dude.
its funny how the new battlecry of some pc users is 4K 4K when there is a lot of pc games who need a beast of a pc to run at 1080p and 60fps with at ultra settings ( arma3 im loooking at you)

Playing it on the PS4. If I have to fault it for anything it's that Tomb Raider Definitive Edition is almost too good. It lacks the cinematic feel of 30 FPS.
Anyone else had the game randomly pause on PS4? A quick google mentioned it may be voice recognition picking something up wrong. My kids were playing in the room at the time, so it was noisy at times, but not sure anyone said 'pause' or something similar. Will have to look in the options and see if I can turn off voice recognition.
Meant to say, I have the camera which is plugged in.

It's releasing this coming week (1/28) so it should be available then.
I bit the bullet and picked one up today from GameStop for the PS4. I already finished it for the PS3 but I didn't get all trophies, so maybe this time I can do a more complete play through.
Plus I am completely bored with the PS4 and need something to play bad.
Luckily in my area the GameStop is never sold out of anything. They even have PS4 in stock now.
I always see poor kids begging their dad to buy them a game. My kids are so lucky. They never even need to ask, and they have everything you can think of when it just gets released.

Huh? Runs around 60fps, 1080p, tressfx, and tessellation enabled on my Gtx 770 and I was just playing it last night. Maybe you had MSAAx8 enabled or something?
You'd only need SLI titans for that - doesn't everyone have those? http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/pq321q-4k-gaming,review-32782-9.html

Lol. Same story here! I was trading in some games and preordering Tales of Symphonia and said oh what the hell. To me (had Ps4 since launch) I'm getting to that point where it's about time to get a new game. Enjoying it so far!
I just meant that it looks as if PS4 may offer enough power to give console gamers a taste of the delicious fruits PC gamers have been enjoying for some time.
I'm very happy that PS4 seems capable of keeping pace with recent high-end PC games a bit better than expected.
That's good news for PS4 owners and PC gamers alike. Perhaps especially PC gamers, whose games, I think, have had their potential held back a bit due to consoles
The higher the consoles reach, the higher the ceiling for PC games. I look at an enhanced port like this, which compares so favorably to the PC version, as a win for everybody. That we have to scrutinize comparison shots so closely to tell the difference means everyone can enjoy the core experience for what it is, without having to worry that they're missing out on a dramatically better experience elsewhere.
I was around for the Super NES versus Genesis comparisons, and I can tell you, back in those days, one side usually lost out a heck of a lot worse than either PS4 or PC gamers with Tomb Raider.
As someone who completed the game on 360 and bought the PC version for a song last month, I won't be buying this again. But for those who have yet to experience the game, or those who relish another romp in higher fidelity, I think this release offers a fine opportunity.
Have fun no matter which platform you play it on!

I dont even know why there is a debate going on here. PC version is the original release. This new version had work done to it to improve things.
Until PC gets that version, no use trying to compare them, other than pointing out what the changes actually were. Dont know why people are coming off butthurt here. If they release this version on PC, clearly, we know how thats gonna turn out. Hope they do eventually.

Went to a couple EBGames today and no luck, didn't see it at FS or BB either.
When I mentioned it was already on sale in the US to the hipster dude at the Vancouver shop he just said it was a couple stores that broke street date and it's off shelves now and those guys will probably be fired. LOL
Im not surprised how this turned into a PC vs PS4 contest.
I have both, and I have a very powerful gaming pc. Gaming on my pc is simply not as comfortable as consoles. And there are too many console exclusives which my PC will never get to play.
A high end PC can be 3x as powerful as the PS4 graphically and speed wise, and games released on both can be modded on a PC to look much better. I tend to not want to "work" on a game for me to enjoy it more. I enjoy the fact I don't need to work or even think about modding on a console since its not even possible.
That's just me.

And its stuff like this that always leaves me bit wary of PC gaming, for me personally there are way to many variables for which a game can run. You both have the same gpu yet have completely different performances results.

Why does Best Buy say February 4 is the release date? Ugh.
Its also funny because outside of quad-sli, your heading back to 30fps if you want the resolution and super sampling.
So they're really just hypocritically arguing in circles.
Top end PC is always going to brute force things / pump out better, and few people are going to argue against that. The real story is a $400 box giving a mid to mid-high end rig a run for its money by effeciency. And what that means for development this gen on all platforms.

It looks better then the PC version in some areas, like the effects, but the game looks too dark in other areas, like someone added way too much contrast to hide something. PC had better lightning I guess. You could see what's up.
Anyways, the PS4 version runs beautifully, it definitely dips down in heavy action, but no complaints.

16x aniso is not antialiasing. The PC version has Fxaa and two levels of super sampling for antialiasing options. It's also very processor dependent.
Unfortunately I have been at that point for about a month, ever since I finished AC4. I have been playing Knack with the kids, but that is not very fun for me.
Were you on the fence about getting it? I wasn't so sure I wanted to pay full price for a double dip, but then again.. boredom wins. If they released this game after Second Son, I imagine it would have sold much less.

Tomb Raider Definitive Edition was made by different teams on PS4 and XBox One: Nixxes for the PS4 version and United Front Games for the XBOne. Original source in portuguese, couldn't find it in English http://www.eurogamer.pt/articles/2014-01-24-tomb-raider-ps4-e-one-feitos-por-equipas-diferentes

Baring in mind that most sites are now acknowledging that it runs better on the PS4, I'm going to be interested in seeing the reviews.

Yea I was on the fence. I played through AC4, KZ and NFS and am bored. I only played Tomb Raider for like an hour so it's new to me. I'll take my time with it with BF4 mixed in until Second Son.
