You're glad it's not 60fps? Now I've heard it all.

Yeah I'm glad, some games look funny in 60fps, like a soap opera effect. Tomb Raider is one of them
Watch the DF video again and wait for the PC footage, it looks fucking wrong.
I don't care if its more responsive, it looks stupid.
I'm not against 60fps, but it doesn't look right with TR

Not this shit again. ROTR plays and looks much better on PC running at 60fps. How does it look stupid? Makes no sense.

 

[SURGEdude]

I think they mean glad they didn't try for allowing it to go to 60 fps but have very variable frame rate and instead went for a rock solid 30 fps. That's not entirely unreasonable as unsteady frame rate can be more distracting than lower solid frame rate for some people.

Totally agreed if that's what they meant. I'd certainly prefer a locked 30 over a swinging rate. Especially with the input issue.

Edit: Apparently they meant what I assumed at first.

 

[III-V]

is it a large dead zone or input lag people? They usually have a sensitivity dial if its dead zone.

I turned the sensitivity up quite a bit and it helped some. Still a large dead zone though.

Watch the fucking DF video and you'll see, it doesn't look right.

I'm gonna have to disagree. Perhaps I've never had your sentiment because I've been a longtime PC gamer and the "soap opera" effect doesn't bother me. If anything it feels closer to real life.

 

[SURGEdude]

Speaking from my own experience on XB1 it's both. Sounds like the lag at least is present on PS4 as well. Not sure about the dead zone there though.

Edit: sorry for the DP

If there is lag, the dead zone is actually the much larger issue for aiming.

 

[Chaplain]

Has a future patch been announced that will fix the lag-bug?

 

[staticneuron]

It's noticeable, sure, but it didn't prevent me from enjoying the game on Xbox.

I beat it on XB1 as well, didn't notice like other people state. Never expected twitch. Wasn't a hindrance to me imo.

 

[Lt.Chips]

It's far from ideal but the sluggishness is nowhere close to the likes of Killzone 2 either. But yeah, disappointed and would like to have this issue fixed.

This ain't like MGSV or TLOU Remastered.

That look off.

 

[SURGEdude]

I would agree. Though I think the two compound each other to make the shooting feel worse than I had hoped. It's definitely noticeable when coming from the 2013 remaster or PC.

Despite my criticism it isn't game breaking. In fact it still made my game of the year list last year.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

You guys can't see it? Wow

I can see 60 fps, which looks smoother and cleaner, communicating a better fluidity of motion and empirically more information. It certainly doesn't look wrong or out of place, unless you've never played a 60 fps game before.

 

[sector4]

You guys can't see it? Wow

They can see it but it looks better to them that way. It's what makes 60fps so fluid and responsive. It's fine to not like the look that hitting 60fps creates, it is indeed similar to the Soap Opera Effect created by using motion interpolation, or watching HFR content like sports or The Hobbit in 48fps.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I really need to pick up the Xbox 360 version someday. (Preferably before it becomes stupid hard to locate.)

 

[SuperSah]

Probably a good thread to ask this question in.

I've not played any of these TR games. Should I play the 'definitive edition' on PS4 before this? Is it good?

Lot of people will think you're trolling and maybe you are. If you're being serious I agree, sometimes the soap opera effect is noticable and sometimes looks off.

 

[SURGEdude]

You guys can't see it? Wow

I can see it, it just doesn't bother me. I see it as a plus actually. It's more realistic looking.

 

[Fezan]

is there issue with input lag or dead zones ?
Really disappointed with this port. Nixxes usually do better job than CD

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

It's definitely worth playing. The PS4 version is fine unless you don't like the frame rate to jump between 30 and 60 fps.

By the time you're done with the first one, ROTTR should be cheaper.

 

[RootCause]

A year later, and input is still an issue. I do wonder why it's an issue on ps4/X1.

 

[TGO]

Many many games, but that don't look right.

Thank you, atleast you know what I mean. 60fps is good I ain't saying it isn't but TRDE and this one looks funny at 60fps.

No I'm serious, it looks stupid.

Yeah if life was playing at speed X2, you must be one of those people that has motion plus on high for everything?

 

[leng jai]

I've played ROTR and tons of other games on PC at 60fps and I don't see how it looks "funny" compared to other games.

 

[tuna_love]

it looks funny to you and that one other guy

 

[pswii60]

Still has input delay, 360 best version! Yeah, 360 has better AF too, amazing.

360 a beast, 11 years after its launch. And to think everyone said 360 games didn't look much better than Xbox games when it was first revealed on MTV.

most annoying thing to me was jerky camera movement by the player. was he playing with mkb?

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

Will wait to play it in 4k on PS4 Pro!

 

[SURGEdude]

You do realize it isn't actually faster right?

I know, I was getting a headache watching lol.

Yeah, it just looks odd.

It actually holds up pretty well. I was thoroughly impressed. Kind of reminds me of the Titanfall 360/XB1 split, though not as pronounced.

I agree. I think cutscenes should be 30fps. Like TLOU remaster, the 60fps cutscenes look weird.

 

[TheSpecialOne]

Yea I see what you're saying. It looks like its moving way too fast. 60 fps is preferred but in this case, yep it looks funny.

It almost seems as if the animations look a bit sped up.

 

[TGO]

I agree. I think cutscenes should be 30fps. Like TLOU remaster, the 60fps cutscenes look weird.

I haven't seen the cutscenes in RoTTR in 60fps, TRDE look ok, it just the gameplay as soon as you move looks weird.

 

[cakely]

With all other settings the same, 60fps looks better than 30fps Every. Single. Time.

I recently played Destiny, and then played Transformers: Devastation, and then watched someone play MGS5. Games look so much more natural and fluid at 60fps.

 

[SURGEdude]

This whole sped up thing is bizarre to me. How does such an effect exist? And I don't mean that to be rude, it just doesn't make sense to me.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Shadows, SSAO solution and specular reflection quality is better on PS4 than on xbox1. Also motion blur is used more frequently, nice!

Yeah. The Xone version is missing shadows, or - does the game have a dynamic day weather system?

I agree, but not with this game or TRDE.
I'm glad some people see it too, I thought I was going mad.

 

[ItsTheNew]

I'm going to assume you aren't being a troll.

With that being said, sometimes 60fps video of a game looks "fake" or "soap opera-y" than actually playing at 60 fps. I have no clue why, but it looks smoother in video form than actually playing.

 

[oneida]

360 is a solid option to do a post-PS2 series playthrough

I started Tomb Raider DE just a few weeks before this released, it look odd and that was coming from another 60fps game which was fine.

 

[SURGEdude]

I think both are true. The XB1 pairs down the shadows in certain areas.

 

[pretty done]

I started Tomb Raider DE just a few weeks before this released, it look odd and that was coming from another 60fps game which was fine.

It probably looked odd because it was fluctuating hardcore between 40-60fps

Rise looks amazing at a locked 60, I don't know what you're on about.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

It actually holds up pretty well. I was thoroughly impressed. Kind of reminds me of the Titanfall 360/XB1 split, though not as pronounced.

I don't have any intentions of picking up an Xbox One or Playstation 4, so it's basically my only way to play the game, and I love me some late-gen "impossible" ports.

What were you playing it on? I think it has a variable framerate on consoles which might explain the strangeness you felt.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

This game looks great but I'm not playing it for two reasons : waiting for the PS4pro and hopefully the aiming dead zone to be fixed.

But part of me is worried that hardware power isn't the issue, otherwise the 360 version would have that problem as well.
