Well we know Destiny went from 900p to 1080p, and Witcher went from 900p to dynamic 1080p(apparently only in menu's though), as well as a few more i'm sure, so its def possible

Depending on how the frame rate holds up, it might be hard for them to get to 1080pr, let alone 1080p.

Ha! I bet most people thought it was 1080p.
Wasn't the E3 demo to Call of Duty AW 900p?
Black Flag
True. The new graphics, real time lighting, and weather effects aren't free, and the larger environments could also be a big factor too, so I'd be surprised to see them go higher. Surprises aren't rare though, but neither are framerate/screen tear issues.

882p actually. But yeah, going from 900p to 1080pr is not that hard if they want to.
I wouldn't call TW3 resolution "dynamic", when it's pretty much static and only depend on the scene.
Edit: On Xbox one. Destiny did it. Diablo 3 also. Also Ride. Assassins Creed 4 did it on Ps4.

Love the way this game looks and Lara looks beautiful. Those facial animations are top notch.
Loved TRDE and looking forward to this. So hard to determine if Fallout 4, ROTR, or Halo 5 will be my end of '15 jam.

I've been thinking about it and I think I'm going to get this when it comes out instead of fall out, and save fall out as my after holiday/ beginning of the year rpg like DA inquisition was for me this year.

Apparently it was running at 1080p on an Xbox One :/

Indeed, i think the game will be 1080p, it's a Xbox One exclusive so they've all the time to optimize it as best as they can with eSRAM new SDK etc, plus TR definitive edition was already 1080p on Xbone too.
But besides resolution, i can't wait for this game, even if it was 825p

Looks nice but i will wait for when it is cheaper and on ps4.
too many games for the end of this year to get this as well.

The "footage" can be 1080p even if the game isn't rendering at that resolution. Insert Aaron Greenberg tweet here.
Game looks really great. Can't wait!
I generally play games on PS4, but I don't mind getting this on XB1. I don't want to wait an extra year.

Assuming the other versions aren't being developed alongside the XB1 version already, maybe.
The part where he's talking about the new facial animation system, like 5 minutes in...I watched the E3 footage and thought it looked good but didn't really scrutinize it at the time (getting it either way, loved 2013), but holy shit that looks good.
I think this is one of those games that at first glance looks really similar to the previous installment, but every time I REALLY look at it it's absolutely fucking stunning.

I doubt they're even thinking about other versions until the deal ends. They probably can't start development on those until the deal ends. The 360 version is begin ported by another studio so they have all the time to optimize it.

Laras face is extremely impressive. That blew me away.
The rest of the demo and the gameplay shown behind the scenes at E3 was pretty underwhelming imo. Neither the gameplay they showed nor the visuals(apart from Laras face) were exciting.
I'm very excited for the game, but I thought its E3 presence wasn't that good. The section they showed on stage was poorly choosen. It was a boring section that didn't even look good. And the gameplay they showed was pretty basic. I'd think they showed something new that shows how they are trying to evolve the gameplay over the last title, but nah.

Now this is good criticism. Have to say I agree, I'm sure it will be a good game, but they didn't showcase it very well.
This is not.

Decent tech
the game looks nice, though I don't like the snow troughs left by her, nor the constant reminder of what she has to do every few seconds.
Will pick it up eventually I expect, enjoyed the first for what it was.

Looks absolutely fantastic!

I agree. I'm not blown away with graphics and it seems like updated version of their remaster (as they are using same engine here) overall instead of next gen, but i'm still excited as they are looking to focus more on Tombs/puzzles this time compared to action game of reboot. Even though gameplay looks basic (which I'm not interested in this at all) but If they are bringing tombs and puzzles by going to back to roots of original tomb raider games then i will buy this when it comes to PS4.

That and Microsoft will be assisting them with development, helping them with all the technical stuff if they need it. Whether that translates to 1080p or not I have no idea
I think it looks great but I'm not blown away as well, it's still pretty though and I can't wait for it to come out, loved the reboot and if there are more puzzles here I'll be very satisfied.
The game looks fine.
I meant visually it can't even touch Uncharted 4 which is the easiest comparison.

Oh god sake ... why does every Tomb Raider Thread have to turn into an Uncharted Vs TR ...
Fantastic. Not seeing any reason this one shouldn't be considering the remaster is 1080p save a few cut scenes.
OP should be corrected.

Loved the last instalment, don't care about resolution, the game looks gorgeous. My biggest worry is the gameplay , I was hoping for a lot less whiny Lara but it just feels like a direct follow on.
Hope I'm proven wrong , also looking for more tombs .

That's great... no one really cares (especially the whole "much greater graphic and physics" part) .. This is TR not UC. Lets not sour the thread with a pissing match.
NXGamer is referring to the native rendering resolution, not the upscaled output resolution.

Anyway, seems cool. I thought it looked solid graphically, and they still have a bit of time left to polish even further.

Or be about PS4 in general. Yawn, don't give a shit

Its from Brian Horton the Game Director and the guy whos been doing all the interviews for the game so I guess yeah.
Maybe some GAFers could pixel count it. I doubt NXGamer would get it wrong. My guess is Brian is referring to the output resolution (which is always up-scaled to 1080p), and not the native rendering resolution, which I think is very misleading by the way. Unless NXGamer got it wrong. But pixel counting the difference between 900p and 1080p isn't something that is generally confused.
