Uhoh. Better lighting AND more TreesFX.

I'm not sure if this is parody or not.

I was going to say that, it's pretty cool. But I don't have a PS4 so I don't really know if it'll annoy me too. (I play with the lights on, I'm not a vampire)
So the framerate has a lot of smooth frames? Awesome.
Was able to pick up a PS4 copy in central IL. Dude at Gamestop said they had like 2 copies left for both platforms, they had been selling them non stop all day.
Framerate is stupid smooth on PS4 for me. I played it on PC last year but was downsampling with all settings on max so while it looked super pretty I didn't get a good frame rate.

Yo we're gonna suck all the detail outta the foreground to give your ass some PIIIIIIIIIIIINE
While a bit darker, the DE version definitely looks better than the PC version judging screenshots only. I'd hope for a DE version on Steam, but unlike Deus Ex I don't think it's worthwhile for an upgraded version (unless it's cheap like free cheap).
To everyone whose never played it, game is worth playing and hope you enjoy!

Hm. "Better" lighting is debatable. It looks like all they did was boost the saturation and contrast... brighter colors (which does a wonderful job of making it look more artificial), and deeper shadows like all the best poorly-lit blockbuster movies these days.
I also realized they didn't just change Lara's face... they changed her eye color. I think that's one of the things that makes it look a little "off" in comparison (being "used to" the old Lara), since as humans, we tend to identify with a person's eyes.

Does this mean it's available for purchase at Gamestop?

Audio from the DS4.
Whats sucked out?
Thats volumetric smoke and particle effects that aren't in the other shot. The rest of the scene is the same as PC, except for improved lighting and that sweet treeFX.
No, Sony doesn't do that. The date's been officially lifted as well anyway (well for US Gamestop it seems) so it should be safe on both platforms.
I like the clearness of the PC version. You can keep the smoke.
Didn't see it but kotaku has a comparison of sorts and analysis review up.
Summary: ps4/xbox one superior to PC. Kirk does review. He gives final nod to ps4 for "feel" - likely fps.
Has screen comparisons and GIf of Xbox one and PC - no ps4.

I think both PC/PS4 are pretty close but PS4 gets the edge for a better model, problem is that she doesn't cast emotions as well but she is technically better.
overall i don't think a PC gamer, even a graphics whore, needs to get this version for the visuals if he played it on MAX, the jump isn't serious, of course for console gamers it's very significant if they are about the visuals.
BTW i also think the new Tressfx of the PS4 version actually looks better than the PC, i don't know if its technically better but i like it's aesthetic more, PC version looks a little ridiculous with it's REVLON effect, the PS4 looks more like how a real hair would look and not in a way of "WE GOT A NEW HAIR TECHNOLOGY LOOK!!!!".
EDIT: OK, after kotaku's article it seems differences are more significant in favor of the PS4 than some still images can tell us, still wouldn't buy it if i already played it on MAX on PC though.

Yep, they reworked foliage and props with a physics engine. Shrubs should move when Lara passes through too.

Man these comparisons are so hit and miss, based on becks comparison it shows that both versions have their pro's and con's, but in this comparison and the one ethomaz posted it shows that the definitive version is leaps and bounds better.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
They do, very well. I saw it in a stream yesterday.
Now that's a clear advantage on current gen consoles.Next gen version has moving trees/PC version has static trees.

I think its hilarous how this thread is mostly full of pc vs ps4/x1 posts. Its not hard to have the better version when the game isn't updated for one platform.

I'm the biggest fan of this game but I have to say:
Her new face model is gorgeous, BUT something's off. I'm not feeling the connection with her. She's lacking emotion in all the scenes. Like she got Botox on her forehead and her eyebrows don't move at all. Bugging me big time. Hope they patch it soon.

Ohh I like that, the wonders you get from 1 more year of production and more capable hardware.
I hope they update the PC version someday.
I like it actually.

Yep, Definitive version is just straight up better there.
This really isn't the case considering a few pages back before we started getting some legit comparisons showing the difference, most PC gamers were convinced that either the PC version was still better or the new added effects were not significant enough.

I just hope the PC doesn't hold back the PS4 and X1 this gen.
I kid, I kid
Honestly, after the smoke and my own worry about graphical abilities of both platforms it looks like we got a nice generation ahead of us. And any immediate parity or horse shoe/hand grenade nearness they can get to the PC os excellent news for games and their development.

Read more than that handful of words, like the entire article, and you'll see I stupidly misused the term average.
TBF every post LTTP TR thread was shit on my master race for some reason. Apparently crow is served, but talking points were shifted to tessellation, MSAA and 120FPS.
