Glad someone else in this thread has decent eyesight. Saying it doesn't look $60 good is a perfectly reasonable reason not to buy this, but saying it doesn't really look much better than previous gen (consoles) makes me think you need an eye exam.
It really would've been great if they could have made another half-dozen or so. That really would have put this version over the top, IMO.

Think I might get this for PS4 once it's less than $20

I just want to know the framerate...
Why is it so hard to get a solid answer on this 2 weeks before release?
Also, it might be telling that they are using the PS4 version to showcase the game everywhere.
That basically confirms it is not 60FS.
Most likely locked 30.

Looks great, like PC version.
They definitely fixed up her face a bit since the next-gen reveal trailer. She looks a little closer to new CG Lara now, and a lot closer compared to the last-gen model. Still not exactly the same and as good as the CG modeling, and also not worth $60 when everything else is basically the same.

You've got some pretty lofty standards there.

i think the xbox one will have the better version of this game.
Wow, that looks terrible. The new one is much better but she still looks like a barbie doll.

because it's 30 fps of course.

There has been nothing "Masterful" about PCgaf as of late.
Surely the next-gen consoles could handle this model in the game? They should just use this model in the sequel. It's perfection (Done by Square Enix's FF Visual Works studio)

Lara's new face is SO MUCH better. Her old face couldn't display any emotion but this one puppy-dog, woe-is-me, protect-me-pls expression that got so grating before the end of the game. New Lara looks like an actual person.
Based on what? Just a hunch?

You think the weaker hardware will perform better how?

Don't forget IGN's crap videoplayer is terribly compressed. Youtube's bitrate starved videos are considered terrible and IGN is even worse.
You're really not seeing anywhere near the difference until a high-bitrate video is released without the crayon smear.
You can tell draw distances are much further, there's more assets and assets are much higher poly; but that's about it. The increased particle and texture work get lost in the compression.

So she looks like she's always looked. Sounds good to me.

Not sure what this one is, but it looks very impressive. It looks better than on the picture right above it which also seems to be from a cutscene.

If that'd happen it would be just before Tomb Raider 2 hits.
Or maybe instead they'll make the multiplayer free. *snort*
Maybe I can be sold on the face if I could see more scenes with it animating. What little there was in the video looked all kinds of wrong, but they were only the briefest of snippets.
It was, and is.

I guess God of War III was next gen.

Me too. With the first trailer for the ps4 version I hated her new face. The ps4 face looks so much better now.

I love how she looks closer to the CGI Lara from TR 2013. Looks great.
Totally unrelated but I just fired up the game and noticed v-sync was on, so I turned it to off and my fps went down by a few frames. I changed it to triple buffered and it went back up. Weird.
On-topic, I actually like the PC version of Lara better than both console versions. On PS3 it looks like crap and I'm not a fan of the new face and skin of the PS4 version. It's like there's a constant orange light being cast on her. Anyway, looking forward to the master-race edition which includes the CG model of Lara.

Drool.
Based on 1) balance, 2) infinite power of the cloud, 3) Microsoft invented directx, 4) beta tested in the future, and 5) Xbox one games can't get any more real without it being real.
Take your pick.

Just finished the pc version yesterday. Game is great, a better game than the uncharted games.

Looks a bit worse than PC. But that's to be expected.
I've heard it actually brings some improvements over content/gameplay ?

Where can I buy the 300 dollar upgrade for my ps3 to turn it into a ps4+++ which also still plays every single ps3 game I ever bought at better framerates , image quality and settings
These arguments always go round and round, go on move that goalpost you can reference the rebuttal from any older thread so you don't have to post it here
Bought my ps3 in october 2008 for 400 euros, my current pc in june 2009 for 600 euros and I'm just a 150 euro upgrade away from it matching a ps4 while retaining full BC, sadly there is no such option for my ps3 :\ (and if there was I'd now have to pay extra to play my games online, heyoo)

Looks honestly like those old ATi-like demos with a vixen where you would say to yourself, "one day, graphics will look like that .someday"
Maybe I'm just feeling nice today, I dunno .

Slightly upgraded cross-gen version of the game. It's about what I expected.
On a different note, I'm sure there's a comparison video behind all that compression. If they don't offer higher quality vids this gen, IGN's comparison videos are going to be pretty useless.

That's literally what the team set out to do, nothing more, nothing less. I think people are putting words into their mouth.

I thought so at first too, but there was some vs. PC thread few days ago where it seemed to look the same between the two trailer shots. They said they've changed how it animates in the new release though, suggesting an improvement.

It's a legitimately great playing game with an absurd setup/character/plot.
It was constantly at odds about what the piss it wanted to be. I found the plot so meaningless and characterization so, well, just dumb, that I couldn't even finish it.
that being said, I did dig the hell out of the gameplay and could see myself give it another try . but not for $60
