Oct 29th has been my guess for the PS4 ever since it came out as the AC4 release date, but you're right... it's all a guess at this point.
Seriously?
It's hard to find like angles looking quickly...but I'll crop a few of my own screens to help highlight texture/character differences.
Console Lara
PC Lara
Console Textures Up Close
PC Textures Up Close
That on the left is a gnarly tree...nearly touching the in-game camera. Check out all that detail. I literally swung the camera against it.
Also, in motion Tomb Raider looks even better. I'd say screen-shots alone don't come anywhere near doing it justice maxed out on PC.
This is a hilarious comparison.
Console pic - Closer and larger and when Lara has less marks and dirt on her.
PC pic - Further away and smaller and at a completely different point in time with different marks, textures etc on Lara.
Obviously account for the PC's higher resolution (these have been down sized to 720p).
If you have TressFX running. Be warned it is a bit of a resource hog.

It looks okay to me. I wasn't particularly impressed with the graphics.
My retailer bol.com. where I preordered and from the microsoftwebsite where I also can order it.
I really understand from an interview on youtube that titanfall was sheduled for around April2014...
Looks really good on PC with everything turned up.
You're calling mine laughable?
I took 1080p captures and cropped from them. Of course the console version and PC version are going to look closer when compressed down to 720p and only showing things at a distance. My example was perfectly fine.
The only thing those images you posted do is attempt to make it look similar. Having it on both my i7 rig and console....they are quite different.
LOL at using downsized images at a distance, to try and show a comparison. Yeah, blurry...lo-res images are always going to look "better/closer"
Also, that image of Lara's friend...it doesn't have a higher poly model/hair like Lara does on PC. It's the same model apparently across platforms. (unlike Lara)
Yeah...which doesn't show up in screens...as I said before. It's not comparable really.

Agreed however I saw it running on a friends PC and it was just stunning. Would welcome a Xbox One/PS4 port.
Your comparisons were absolutely awful. Mine are from DF, and are at least a like for like, with close ups of characters and shots showing environmental details but of the exact same scene, same positioning, same angle, with the same lighting etc in both shots, unlike yours which are different sizes, different levels of zoom, different areas, different character shader and texture types etc. The only negative with the shots I posted are that the PC shots are downsized to 720p, but otherwise they are an exact like for like. I can't believe you are even attempting to compare our two screen comparisons. Lol.
I'll let GAF and common sense decide which is the better comparison.

1080p 60fps, of course.
Haha, ok. If GAF thinks downsized 720p PC shots are a fair comparison to 720p Console shots, so be it.
I thought DF was a joke now here?
We'll just ignore the fact that it visually trounces it in motion or if you get close to entities/objects.
Did you play it on some mid-tear Laptop/PC or something.....or have you even played the PC version at all?
It looks good on the 360/PS3, but it doesn't hold a candle to the maxed PC version with all its self shadowing, AA, effects, and texturing. At least I used my own shots...and your copy/paste shots show the shadow differences.
With the hardware in the new consoles, seems like it would be super simple to port over to next gen consoles, so it makes all the sense in the world really. Not doing it would just be leaving money on the table.
HOW DARE THEY PROMOTE THEIR STUFF?!!!
Anyway, I'm still concerned by the no-single player trend.
I hope you are not talking about nib's comparison. He almost managed to make the PC version look worse than the PS3 version in some of the shots there, that should tell you everything you need to know..
Yeah no doubt. Be interesting to see a port so we know where we are in terms of next gen vs current PC setups. I don't think they'll quite hit it but it'd be interesting to see it anyway.

I can think of a few games that could use the next gen treatment. Skyrim especially would be great maxed out at 60fps with Kinect support.

My thoughts exactly. Multiplayer is cool, but I'm scared about a potential loss of the traditional singleplayer game. Stupid "social" culture.

You misunderstood my point. I'm not saying the PC version isn't superior, my point is that if you're going to show the graphical differences or compare the visuals, at least show a like for like or as close to. I've seen the game running on both a high end PC and both the consoles, and opted for a console version either way, just out of convenience (my PC is in my study hooked up to a monitor whilst my consoles are in my bedroom hooked up to my Kuro, not enough space to get my PC in here too). But yea, if you don't game on PC or have a gaming PC, just buy the console version. It looks excellent, though the frame rate can get ropey in areas.

Ughhh... that TitanFall box is hideous. It's a combination of that deep vomit green game case, and the awkwardly placed awards on the box. Yeesh. The XB1 should have really gone with a design closer to the old school 360 case.
Also about the release date, that is literally not news. It's the release date of Ghost, and doesn't even suggest "play it first/day one on the Xbox One". If anything, this is further evidence that COD Ghosts won't be a same day title as the console release. MS is just promoting one of the fastest selling franchises on their console. Nothing more nothing less. Gamescom should clear the air with all this speculation.

That's why I pre-ordered from Amazon.
The single player game isn't going anywhere. Some games are designed as MP only. Not a big deal.
That's going to be the trend for game covers here on out (simplicity) due to digital.

Of course Tomb Raider would get a port after I just bought it for 360 and PC and beat it twice already. Love that game so much.

I don't like the dude squatting, it doesn't look right. One foot on the mech's balcony and another on the gun? He should be standing and maybe kind of hanging off the top part with one arm or something.
Nov 5 is cool. Hopefully the PS4 is earlier.
I hope it doesn't launch the same day as current-gen CoD. The lines will be extra horrible. Combining the people there to pick up their new Xbox and the people there to pick up their copy of CoD would be madness, if you are partial to midnight launches like I am. Even though I'm usually all for the earliest date possible, I think I'd prefer the 12th just to avoid the CoD lines.
Haha! Thanks. I loved it as well (if you couldn't already tell that).

Tomb Raider would make more sense if it came with some exclusive single player content, and/or some co-op.

Tomb Raider port sounds interesting. Won't it be just the PS3 version since its superior?
Seriously, I would love that. 60fps with smoother graphics + extra content would be nice. The multiplayer would at least be smoother.

TressFX only reserved for Lara or somethin?

Tomb Raider looked mindblowing on PC, even if you couldn't use TressFX even on a 7870 (it killed the performance). I recall being constantly thinking 'I can't believe how great games look these days'. Should be great on next gen consoles!
Seems so, that pic looks like the same shiet to me.

I find it very difficult to believe CoD doesn't jump on the "11.12.13" branding train for release date
They need to reach their unrealistic sales goals, and porting it everywhere possible is the best way to do that.
