Tomb Raider: PS3 vs PS4

Only thing that is different from what I can tell is - more contrast, more particles, better use of some light sources.

Otherwise the PS4 grfx look exactly like the grfx on the pc.

Well that stands to reason, the talking more about the comparison between PS3 and I'm sure it'll be way better.
I also own it on PC and I must admit, it made my cut as one of my personal GOTY for gameplay, story and visuals. It looks absolutely stunning on max settings, so it should be similar on PS4 I would imagine.
 
I am so jealous of the ps4 or xbox one user to get this tomb raider upgraded version, I pre-ordered it on pc on 5th March, and I was not disappointed. Awesome game,I know some of you will disagree but I did not enjoy the multiplayer as much as I thought I would.
 
Geez.. that is hectic. I dont care about collectables and such.. Just wanna play and finish the game :)

Tracking down the collectibles is what added that little extra bit of fun to it. Some of it was on the weirdist of places which you would never think to look.

Yes probably but most people just look for walkthroughs on the web, so i don't see the point in collecting all of them just most because the developers have done the hard work to put them there.!!

There was only 1 collectible (or side quest rather) that I struggled with. Found out it was a glitch and I had to get it on 2nd playthrough.

All the rest I obtained myself without any help.

I make it a point not to go looking for guides and try to get the best out of a game myself.
 
Looking at the video, there's indeed some huge improvements as they have basically rebuilt the entire game.

Any of you have it on PS4 for first-hand experience?

I believe this only releases on the 28th (of Jan) in the US, so most likely very early Feb for us. So for now all we have to go on is the media telling us how amazing it is. While Tomb Raider is my favourite franchise, and I would be happy to add this to my PS4 collection one day - charging full price for a graphics upgrade with zero new content is unacceptable.

However, having played both the PS3 and PC versions, I will say from what we have been shown this surpasses both of those in the graphics department. On PC with ultra settings it was only the TressFX hair and high resolution textures that were better than the PS3 version. This has increased poly counts, a completely remodeled face, much better lighting and particle effects in addition to 4K texture resolutions.

Thats good man, many times I get too frustrated because I die all the time when trying to get everything.

But I only use the internet to move forward in a game like underworld (once or twice maybe) or to get extra stuff in lego games.
 
This was the best Tomb Raider I played not really a fan of the series and I feel the game was let down by the supporting character's but still a very solid game worth getting on ps4. as I played the pc version.
 
Wow major improvement and the game even has TressFX now! That feature raped my PC and yet the PS4 is handling it effortlessly! :wtf: Granted I don't have a GCN card which is what the game recommends for TressFX, I wonder if the PC version will be patched with the new face? I hope not as I'm sorta still on the fence regarding that change. :/

Nah they said the PC version would not be receiving a definitive edition update. I really hope TressFX handles better on the PS4. Even after patches it was quite buggy on PC, especially if Lara was moving quite fast (ziplines etc). It even diappears completely occasionally xD

I actually spent more than 40 hours looking for all the collectibles without using any online aids and I found all of them except for one. I finished the game on 99% and the one thing I missed is one of those mines on the beach but considering how I scoured that area for it I think it must be a glitch because I spent a good couple of hours looking for that one *#_%*#) mine and I still haven't been able to find it! Arghghgh...

Well that's a relief. :)

Don't forget in some parts it was also unrealistic, like when she is hanging upside down in the beggining and instead of her flowing down it still falls upward. :rolleyes:

I think it might have been a glitch (from what I have read) and I had to get it on my 2nd playthrough. However...

The first time I attempted to get it was when the beach was all stormy and the water level was higher than usual, so it could be that it was just low below the water and I could not see it.

On the 2nd playthrough I made sure I got it before the water became like that.
