Damn.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Me too, I was really worried you'd be absent.

You gotta get in early, you know? No use trying to contribute once the thread blows up to 40 pages.

Wonder why they haven't told us this until now. #parityconspiracy

So does he have to apologize to us now or what? I'll take a coke instead.

 

[swcpig]

Don't care. Still buying . Shame its not better though.

 

[Kru]

No WAY they'd concede 30FPS to the Sony!

FTFY

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Oh man, 1080p with TressFX is hefty as hell on even a decent PC rig, so I was fairly favorable it was running 30fps. Damn nice they are getting it hit 60fps with the upgrades. As for the tech console comparisons, well...

 

[shinobi602]

Impossible. I was told the PS4 was underpowered.

 

[Prompto]

Wow just wow. If its like this all generation this is big. I might get this if I get a ps4 now.

 

[Instro]

Is this part of the ass storm?

Everything is the ass storm.

 

[LiK]

Link is not working for me. Anyone else having the problem?

hammered. but OP already posted all the same info.

 

[op_ivy]

i've made a huge mistake.



in all seriousness, thats great news for ps4 owners. at 30fps the improvements dont look that large over current gen, but i admit, if the x1 version was 60 it might tempt me to pick it up. i do find it interesting that we have a current gen port that runs at basically twice the framerate on ps4 vs x1 where it seems to me both should be able to hit 60. maybe a case of not bothering to optimize for the more difficult to program system?

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Wow! Lol

 

[BrokenIcarus]

MisterXMedia am cry

 

[Some Nobody]

Closed box. PC types dismiss it all the time, but Timothy Lottes says it offers huge performance advantages.

I thought this was common knowledge.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Blessed ps4, i love thee.

 

[jabuseika]

If it's ~60fps average, half the time it's above 60fps.

The PS4 is amazing.

 

[BadAss2961]

Nice. PS4 is a beast.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Well, shit

 

[kittens]

Yeah, "contribute".

Spoiler

lol, I'm just giving you shit.

 

[Ichabod]

Brace yourself. Winter's coming.

 

[Uno Venova]

Wont they just lock both at 30fps in the final build though if the ps4 version is consistently dropping below 60fps?

Impressions say it holds 60 pretty well.

 

[EatChildren]

Our poor Australian website is getting hammered . If it doesn't work, be patient, and try refreshing. Or just read this thread's OP.

 

[fade_]

 

[njr]

Welp. That kind of defeats the purpose of having Definitive in the name.

 

[HariKari]

Wow just wow. If its like this all generation this is big. I might get this if I get a ps4 now.

The gap won't magically narrow between the two. So not a bad idea.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Good stuff. Still too expensive though. Will bite when it hits 40 bucks or so for the PS4.

 

[plasmawave]

Gonna wait till the game's out.
I still remember when Sega's PR insisted that the both version of Bayonetta was running at 60fps.

I know this isn't Sega, but I will remain skeptic anyway.

 

[EL CUCO]

megaton

Should've been the first post


Oh...

 

[Krusenstern]

maybe a case of not bothering to optimize for the more difficult to program system?

Or maybe it's time to simply look at the facts and accept that one console is technically more powerful than the other.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

maybe a case of not bothering to optimize for the more difficult to program system?

Certainly that could be one explanation. Although the power difference is a real factor.

 

[Skeff]

They don't for other "60fps" games like Battlefield and CoD.

OP played it.

 

[Bashtee]

Wanted to buy the game, but 60€ is quite heavy. But if I don't buy, they won't make another Tomb Raider. So I have to buy it, because I want another Tomb Raider. This makes sense, so everyone has to buy it.

Can't wait to play it on my PS4, preorder just went out... They actually hit a nice spot with the release date. I don't think there is coming out anything special in feburary, right? Might get platinum with this one.

 

[JLeack]

Got the game. It reminds me exactly of the PC version. For some people that's reason to be excited. For others it might not be.

 

[Artex]

If I haven't played this game, should this be an insta-buy? Is it really that good? I haven't played Tomb Raider since the original on PC.


I fapped to pixelated Lara back then. I'm not proud of it. Actually, that's amazing I am proud of that.

 

[CLEEK]

So does he have to apologize to us now or what? I'll take a coke instead.

I suppose he might pull an ageis style technicality and say there is a single digit difference. One starts with a 6, the other starts with a 3.

 

[Falaut]

I, for one, have to say I'm very happy that it wasn't just locked down due to the lowest performer. Might actually drop the 60 for this as opposed to the original plan and waiting till the 39.99 drop.

 

[anexanhume]

Ok now tell us the numbers with the ESRAM and dGPU.

 

[i-Lo]

I'd been happy with 30fps (because that's what the last gen version was at and I did not hear complaints) and now it sounds better with 60fps. Either way it's a good buy for xbone and a better value for money proposition for PS4 owners.

 

[TheRealTalker]

nice to see it running near 60fps... shows potential for the hardware

 

[Dr. Kaos]

Boom Shakalaka!

PS4 twice as powerful as X1 confirmed.

Spoiler

Technically, it's around 33% more powerful if the X1 runs at 45 fps average as often as the PS4 runs at 60fps.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Not surprised, the gap between the two is significant. Would OG Xbox vs PS2 be somewhat accurate for the gap?

 

[The_Monk]

This is pretty good news because my humble PC can't have 60 FPS while keeping the same visual quality and the fact that I can pre-order the game for 49.99€ is tempting too but on the other hand I'm having so much fun cleaning my Backlog, it's just this would look nice on my PS4. Hmm, budgeting so hard, lately.

I'm also hoping for the best concerning this thread, I know there's going to be some rage, I just hope we can all respect ourselves. After all this is good news!

 

[ethomaz]

Doesn't the Xbox One output at 60 fps? Mr. Greenberg?

jk stole from other user.

Xbox One will always upscale to 60fps.

 

[VanWinkle]

I don't blame you, but we've heard several "hands-on" reports from people saying that it was 60 on PS4.

 

[meanspartan]

But...but....they invented DirectX!

 

[dreamer3kx]

Damn, Xboned.

I was doing chemistry 5 mins ago and now I have tears in my eyes! console war is hilarious!

And a case of every other aspect of Sony's PS4 also being significantly more powerful

more difficult to develop for, significantly less powerful = differences like this all gen

everyone should just get used to it early on in the gen so it doesn't drive them insane

 

[SolidSnakex]

Unlocked framerates is shitty on both consoles.

I'll quote EatChildren again from a previous TR thread

Disclaimer: I do not recall PR saying it was 60fps, or any FPS for that matter, so please don't take my word as fact. However, as I was playing other games there as well, the Tomb Raider build on PlayStation 4 definitely looked 60fps with slight dips by comparison to other titles on show and my own experience with 60fps titles. If someone were to ask me "What framerate was Tomb Raider HD on PS4 running?" I wouldn't hesitate to say "Targeting and seemingly usually hitting 60fps".

No, I mean, I don't understand where the reports of "Tomb Raider runs at 30fps" are coming from when having seen and played the PlayStation 4 build today it seemed on average to be far closer if not sitting on 60fps. The framerate is unlocked in the sense that it's not locked 60fps; it did have some dips. But the dips were pretty small of the little I played/saw. I like to think I know a 30fps game when I see it, and this did not look 30fps. It looked 60fps, or very close to.

It's unlocked, but it doesn't really sound like it's all over the place. It seems to stick very close to 60fps.
