This will look insane, on the PS4 Pro it's already one of the best looking games.

 

[op_ivy]

Nice! Will play again. These are the trailers I want to see.

 

[Thats a Greay Area]

Waiting for Shadow of the Tomb Raider and instead, we get Tomb Raider Enhanced Shadows ...............

I'll show myself out

 

[Darklor01]

Will buy during Black Friday sales.

 

[LelouchZero]

Is it me or is that frame-rate looking a bit rough?

 

[ScaryShark]

Dolby Atmos support is 1000x more interesting and exciting to me than native 4K. I don't even like the game that much but I'd almost snag a cheap copy to test that out.

Atmos for home theater I assume? Because it's broken as hell for headphones.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

This game deserves the "Most Optimized Video Game" award.

 

[eso76]

Going to need comparisons.

And yep frame rate seemed rough in places, not sure if it was from slow motion applied to captured footage.

 

[ScaryShark]

If it's legitimate Dolby Atmos as implemented on UHD movies. If it's some crap for headphones, my interest will plummet.

[Yearsoflurking]

Man i loved this game going to replay it again and buy thr dlc

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

This game deserves the "Most Optimized Video Game" award.

The PS4 Pro enhancements were incredible, might still be the best game yet in terms of improvements and options? Kudos to Crystal Dynamics, must have shifted (and will shift) a few extra copies because of it.

 

[op_ivy]

Chose from 3 game modes... other devs, take notice. This is what I want as standard

 

[KORNdoggy]

Is it me or is that frame-rate looking a bit rough?

not just you, lots of moments in there which looked pretty bad. hopefully they don't push visuals so much that performance goes down the shitter.

otherwise it looks nice though. £450 nice? not really, no.

 

[Silent Hill]

Is it me or is that frame-rate looking a bit rough?

Yup framerate was tanking in a few scenes.

 

[Falchion]

Wow, the level of detail is pretty amazing.

 

[JoeLT]

Seeing as the base Xbox One is 1080p/locked 30 I'm hoping the three modes are this:

1. 4K/30 with some improved settings over base Xbox as there is a bit of headroom.
2. 4K Checkerboard/30 with higher end PC settings, or 1440p but would prefer checkerboard.
3. 4K Checkerboard/60fps with base Xbox One settings bar texture resolution and filtering due to the extra Ram. Xbox One X is a 4x increase so 1080p/30 to 4K checkerboard/60 is entirely possible as far as I understand. That or 1440p.

 

[mnannola]

All these enhancements coming to the PC edition?

 

[SpotAnime]

Nixxes doing the patch, so hopefully that means the input lag will also be fixed. They fixed it on the X360 and PS4 versions.

Although I can't wait for DF to do a comparison between the Xbox One X and the PC. There was a lot of claims made for it being the best, having the highest, etc. Want to see if that's just *console only or if indeed it beats the PC version.

 

[Dabanton]

Not bad. Hope we see other devs showing what enhanced means for their titles.

A short video showing the upgrades is nice simple and straight to the point.

 

[faridmon]

Lara Crofts Hair looks amazing. Man I wish had money to buy XBX, because those upgrades looks damn good

 

[Mr. Phellps]

I know it's alpha footage, but far too many moments in that trailer had some really rough framerate drops.

 

[JdFoX187]

How do these enhancements compare to the Pro? I have copies for both the Xbox One and PS4, but never have gotten around to playing it. I was planning on popping it into the Pro in the next month or so, but if it's going to look even better on the X, I might just wait.

One for me too.

More like based Nixxes.

 

[Skinny Pete]

Jesus, looks insane.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I know it's weird, but I would love to see a head-to-head comparison between the 360 version and the X1X enhanced version side by side.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

im seriously surprised by all these positive comments for RoTR. this game usually gets trashed on here.

Mostly the same other than a higher resolution I think it's dynamic on pro and pro doesn't have hdr AFAIK.

 

[ViciousDS]

Did they ever fix the input lag on the Xbox version of the game, I know the PS4 version it was fixed.

 

[Gowans]

More news like this till the X release please MS (less Xbox Daily Shows)

 

[Cr1ptkeeper]

I'm curious to see if the X1X will be able to hit 1080/60 at a steady 60 fps. The Pro wasn't able to do this and the CPU from the X is just slightly better...

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

If Nixxes is helping out with this enhanced version there's a good chance it will get fixed, which makes me both happy and mad.

I never finished it but I would definitely love them to fix the input lag it absolutely made the game infuriating

 

[mocoworm]

'High Framerate' doesn't really promise 60fps does it?

They should have locked in 60fps and then raised the IQ and resolution to as high as I could go after that.

 

[jipewithin]

Is it me or is that frame-rate looking a bit rough?

Not just you, was really bad. Jaguar...

 

[LukasTaves]

Hmmm. I have a few tombs left to raid, plus the baba yaga DLC to play yet... Seems like a great opportunity to get back to the game

 

[JoeLT]

Nope, but that's because every version that wasn't the Xbox One version was ported by Nixxes not Crystal Dynamics. Crystal Dynamics straight up refused to fix it when asked. Thankfully it's Nixxes who is doing this Xbox One X patch, so I hope it's finally fixed like they have with the other versions!

Not just you, was really bad. Jaguar...

What on earth has Jaguar got to do with not hitting 30fps, the game isn't going to be CPU bottlenecking at 30fps.

 

[sixteen-bit]

'High Framerate' doesn't really promise 60fps does it?

They should have locked in 60fps and then raised the IQ and resolution to as high as I could go after that.

hopefully there will be multiple options for the player to prioritize framerate or resolution

 

[N7.Angel]

Holy shit !!! I bought the Xbox version at launch then buy it again on the PS4 Pro, I don't need to re-buy it again to have X enhancements, right ?

 

[Unreal Champ]

Physical release?

 

[Bizzquik]

Seriously, Lara, where the hell were you yesterday?

That 90-minute rehash of old E3 trailers could've used this video...

 

[Ushay]

Damn nice. May have to revisit this game.

 

[chromatic9]

Another ROTTR Digital Foundry video.

Probably will be an 8k trilogy in a few years as well

 

[kuYuri]

All these enhancements coming to the PC edition?

This version IS essentially the PC version, scaled down to X1X specs.

 

[paragonpro]

Cool i dont think the ps4 pro version had hdr support

 

[SlimySnake]

HDR? The Pro version didnt have HDR. I wonder if it will get patched it.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Them too.
