This is unacceptable!! Do you have a PS4? If downloading the 50gb is not a problem for you I'll send you a code, so you can finally experience this game.
Tomb raider enhanced edition, GTA V enhanced edition , Halo3/4 in MCC bundled enhanced edition...... lol right
You know you are not helping your case when you bring up stuff like that right? God I seriously wish some people tried to actually argue reasonably.

Cheap AO is very exaggerated in PC games, then you try HBAO+ and it's more accurate. I'm guessing the one on PS3 was cheap. The AO aura glow, like Witcher 2 (I hate the glow of shadow in that game).

Ha! I had the same thought.

I don't think they went above and beyond. I think they did what people expected, which means they met expectations.
They set the bar so exceeding it is going to take something otherworldly, isn't it? Hopefully they still get credit where it's due: We expect a lot from them and when they deliver, they did better than many.
i don't want to be a naysayer, or a hater, or come off as an anti-PS4 fanboy or anything, but my reaction to this remaster is generally quite lukewarm.
i guess i was really hoping for updated geometry more than anything.
that being said, i'm well aware of how nightmarish a task it must have been porting this code over from the PS3, and the resulting image quality ND have produced is very clean, which i can certainly appreciate.
i never owned a PS3, so if & when i pick up a PS4 i'll definitely appreciate this remaster's existence a little bit more [or should i say, would appreciate it more, if i enjoyed zombie-esque material even in the slightest - yes, i'm a wussy, a skinny little wussy]

The Tomb Raider Definitive Edition added in a bunch of stuff, some that wasn't even in the PC version.

Why would they alter the geometry, do people realize that's akin to developing a new game? Enhancing the resolution, texture size, and setting the framerate at 60fps improved the graphical output significantly. I just finished playing a few rounds of multiplayer and the game just looks incredible, it also controls more responsively to boot. It's the definitive version, and they did a phenomenal job bringing it to the new hardware.

Replied to your PM, good person.
Edit: Forgot to say. HOLY CRAP! That would be amazing. Thank you very much.
I don't think any remastered version has actually gone from unstable 30 to a solid 60 before and most don't even have as many improvements as this.
The only thing that I remember that was changed was swaying foliage, fog and updated Lara model.
Swaying foliage is in The Last of Us as well. What am I missing?
Edit: Okay there was also dynamic resolution adjustment, which wasn't in the PC version.

WOW at the difference between 60FPS shadows and 30FPS shadows:
I prefer the look of the PS3 shadows.

Genuine acts of kindness like these should be celebrated, in my opinion. Here's a quote to trace how awesome supernormal is.
Cheers! And thank you for restoring my faith in humanity for the day

Upping the shadow map resolution is one thing. Making sure that the shadows are properly filtered with physically correct penumbras and all is another.
The PS3 shadow is similar to how a sun shadow would appear on the outside. The PS4/30fps shadow is closer to a shadow from a point light source which is close to the light obstructing object.
Basically you need to render them differently for different light sources and different distances between the light source and the obstructor.
This is something well beyond the scope of a TLoU remaster I think. They just used the RAM and GPU power to increase the resolution of the shadow maps.

I wanted to ask about the tag thing, but I don't know how. Gaf mods and etiquette still scare me at times. Ill gladly take a tag for myself as well. Something along the lines of "supernormal is awesome and I want the world to know."

Thank you all for your kind words. Hellmonkey that's a beautiful .gif *hugs back*
Honestly I feel like this TLOU is a true master piece in gaming that everyone should experience. It broke my heart to see someone who really wanted to play it, miss it on PS3 and still not have a chance to have it on PS4. 50 dollars doesn't even compare to the experience I had with this game, and hopefully Hellmonkey you can understand when you play the game, what my gift truly was.

Some people like paying full price for games some people don't. I think the fact that I've played the game in the last year makes it even less of a must buy to me. If that makes me part of a minority so be it.
I'm planning on giving away my PS3 version to someone who hasn't played it and who isn't getting a PS4 anytime soon.

I know a bunch of other people have quoted this, praising your actions, but I needed to join them.
This was a very generous and kind act.
I am really amazed you would do this for someone you don't even know. You sir, are a truly exemplary individual. You have earned my veneration

Why do the 30 fps shadows lack any penumbra.
That is very kind of you, very nice gesture.

Yeah i have same problem with extreme sharp shadows because it doesn't look like that sharp in real life. It does look which a common problem I have with PC Multiplatform port.
