New Rise of the Tomb Raider PC Screenshots (by DeadEndThrills)
- Thread starter jim2point0
- Start date
They're cropped, probably for artistic effect. The game looks excellent on XB1, and as expected it looks even better on PC.

Looks gorgeous. I really am looking forward to playing this one.

DET likes that aspect ratio for screenshots. Just poke around the rest of that site and you'll see.
No. They are not cropped. They are captured in that aspect ratio.

Can't unsee.
As always, PC graphics are too angular.
It's DoF.
I tried but i kinda failed lol:

What are we supposed to be seeing?

I wonder will the PC version take away the sluggish character feel the X1 version had? I remember DF said it was absent on 360.
They play in 1083 X 1440?

Now that HBAO+ is confirmed that's what I'm most hoping for!

1. Those screenshots were not captured at 1080x1440. They're obviously downsampled. Probably more like 3000x4000.
2. My guess is tha the plays in 16:9 and switches to portrait resolutions when capturing screenshots. That's how I do it.
Those are a few of my shots and they are not cropped
It is the bottom of this screenshot: http://barbarella.deadendthrills.com/imagestore/DET3/riseofthetombraider/large/stillwater.png
Sticks out like a sore thumb, only now I noticed the ship.

on their site they say that they're often provided tools and they have shots of a lot of games that don't have photo modes so I doubt we'll be getting it.

This, i think.

We can expect:Looks brilliant. But the Xbone version already looked really good so I'm not sure how much better this is objectively. Need to see some comparisons
- better (or at least different) AO
- better AA
- better AF (?)
- higher resolution shadows
- native resolution cutscenes

Thought it was DJH. When I saw this one the other day it had to be.
Better tessellation and dynamic foliage also (though there is already a degree of moving foliage on xbone).

Higher draw distance as well.
By no means a straight port, no matter what some (those who try to justify their xbone) would like to believe.

They gave DET a debug version for the first game, so it's safe to assume they've done the same here. We will not be getting a photo mode.

Textures look more high res. There are even some completely different textures.
Also Foliage is first thing i noticed, it looks much better than Xbox One version.

Huh, cool! Didn't know that about the foliage! Can't wait to play it again

The album does mention in-engine DOF and tonemapping control, so it might be possible to hack in access to those settings even if Square/Crystal Dynamics/Nixxes doesn't build a UI for it. A lot of DeadEndThrills stuff taken by the community relies on Cheat Engine tomfoolery to activate free cameras, variable FOV, etc.
Also, yeah, in case anyone doesn't already know: this is NOT representative of a typical PC experience. You should consider this the extreme high end of what is possible with the game's engine and assets. It's probably not something you'll actually get to experience in real-time gameplay unless your rig is ludicrously well-specced. That's sort of DET's playhouse.

I don't think anyone's expecting that IQ but the assets aren't going to change depending on your hardware. Maybe LODs.
I dont think I've ever downloaded such a high res picture of oranges/mandarins on my computer. Ever.
Guess we'll have to rely on cheat engine once more. Didn't you make an excellent table for the 2013 release?

I did a table. I wouldn't call it excellent. Maybe HattiWatti will make some tools for this one.

Are they still using a modified version of the Underworld engine for this one? Can't remember if they said or not. Either way the game looks gorgeous, even on Xbox One (and 360 for that matter; Nixxes being masters).
Part of me wants to wait for the PS4 version but I'm guessing that's like 10 months away. Since Legend I've owned all TRs on PC but I'm still rocking a 670 and a fairly old i5, so I can't imagine it liking this one too much...

Hot damn this looks like a painting
We looking at the same thing? PC brings all the finer details, of which there are PLENTY in that comparison.
