Tomb Raider Underworld is still a gorgeous game, especially on PC

[@raresmacovei8382]

I don't know. While Legend and Anniversary looked marvelous for 2006/2007, Underworld always looked off to me, even for 2008. Like it was more than a PS2 game, but not a full 360/PS3 game. And then we got TR2013, which showed what a true X360/PS3 TR game could look like.

I have a gaming PC but also a pro and 1X and I almost always am gaming on the consoles when HDR is available. HDR on PC sucks so bad and it's a bigger visual upgrade than going from 1440p (what I normally play at) to 4k on my TV.

[@timothylewis2527]

People claimed the graphics were downgraded in this game but seeing it side by side with Rise, you can see the improvement.

[@kraenk12]

Timothy Lewis The lighting looks worse. AA is much better. It’s especially visible since PC version looks noticeably better in the lighting area. It somehow looks artificial on consoles.

[@OwenDrummond]

But not an improvement on Ryse

[@DETERMINOLOGY]

Just the aa alone it looks better...Graphically it looks shaper it has a photo realisitc look to it in alot of areas game looks clean

[@gamersanonymous4me131]

I have both Rise and Shadow on PC and Shadow looks much better IMHO (close up). Rise has that shimmer and a fuzzy general look (both are on 1080p high settings (just below Ultra (Very High)) and run pretty steady 60 fps except in towns. Shadow can look much richer and in distance shots the mountains and trees look much more water color- cartoony while Rise has more realistic trees and mountains. Those are the differences I notice.

[@DETERMINOLOGY]

At some point i would look at them at 4k...1080p is eh now days even 1440p u would get a better view

[@VGDocs]

*PS4 Pro doesn't hold a locked 60 on smooth frame rate mode* John: I don't recommend going with this option, too much judder *Xbox One X doesn't hold a locked 30 normally* Also John: I have to give the nod to this. This is why subjective comments bug me in analysis videos >.>

[@phloppywhoppy7476]

The Pro does an *awful* job at keeping 60 FPS in Performance Mode while the One X only has some minor drops, that's why it's worthy of criticism. On the Res Mode, both consoles can't really keep a stable 30 FPS with Xbox One X struggling a bit more. There's a difference.

[@VGDocs]

I understand that but it's still a difference that's only subjectively better for those who can't stand judder above 30 fps as opposed to the kind seen on the Xbox One X for its 30 fps cap.

[@phloppywhoppy7476]

@@VGDocs It's a bit different. If you can stand judder you can definitely play at 40-50 FPS with a triple-buffer solution, that doesn't mean it can replace an almost stable 60 FPS, which will always look and play significantly smoother. Compared to the One X framerate, the one of the Pro is considerably less pleasant at best (if you can stand judder) and straight up terrible if you can't. As for the Res Mode, again, there's never too much of a difference, neither is perfect and Pro only has softer drops when they occur.

[@VGDocs]

I wasn't comparing 40-50 fps to a solid 60, I was comparing it to a not-solid 30 and how the opinion changes from clearly going against 40-50 but being fine with a 30 that's not stable. Also you say less pleasant if you can stand judder but once again that's subjective. I whole-heartedly disagree with the idea of 40-50 being worse than even a lock solid 30 in a lot of games. The gameplay itself just doesn't hold up at 30 when you compare it to the much more responsive 40+. Sure, the judder is noticeable but the lower consistent frame rate is even more noticeable when it comes to the gameplay because it updates the player more slowly and the latency is noticeably worse.

[@MilaMarieRose]

I can't stand drops below 30 or drops below 60 so idk, I'm kind of disapointed in both versions. I NEED a stable framerate in either form to enjoy a game.

+martin cabrera The resolutions though; the PS4 Pro has 1872p with checkerboard rendering, the X has 2016p native. Neither matches the consoles' native output resolution. I kinda do miss the enriched mode from Rise though; it was clearly the best choice for maximum visual quality. The resolution doesn't mean everything.

[@AndyGilleand]

I have to strongly disagree about the HDR, at least on PS4 Pro. Even with the game's brightness setting all the way down on an OLED calibrated correctly, black levels are almost never actually black, but dark grey. It looks like thick fog covering the screen in just about every scene. Also, there's terrible banding in the darkest and brightest areas of the screen, as if they calculated their colors in 8bit, and simply reverse-tonemapped that to the HDR space. The actual brightness of highlights were great, especially in the finale, but I couldn't get over how ugly the look of the HDR was overall. I've seen many people with the PS4 version of the game agree.

[@DenisLiasis]

You do realize that in real life you never see full black right?

[@AndyGilleand]

@@DenisLiasis You're arguing a really pointless thing here. We see incredibly close to black, far closer than even 1 notch up on a 12bit Dolby Vision encoding would give you, so we can tell when black levels are wrong. That's why OLED exists. Besides that. Any raised black levels in a game are going to add to any non-black we're seeing to our eyes. Why would you want to unnecessarily add to that, making things more washed out than they need to be?

[@DenisLiasis]

@@AndyGilleand umm the game is targeting reality, and in real life you don't see true black with your eyes even in pitch black areas. Lower your standards a bit in life to enjoy things. And if this really bothers you so much, switch to SDR. Which has deep inky blacks. HDR is here to bring crushed shadows up so you can see detail in shadows, and to save overexposed areas so you can see detail even in there. That's how HDR works sweetheart

[@AndyGilleand]

@@DenisLiasis No, this isn't anywhere close to reality. Most HDR gets it right. In this game, things that should be realistically dark shadows appear really bright grey. HDR reveals detail in shadows while also making those shadows more realistically darker. That's because the panels are capable of deeper blacks and HDR uses a higher bit depth, which allows you to keep deep shadows without losing defail. It's SDR that usually raises shadows to a more washed out level compared to real life, because low bit depth and poor compression usually cause issues with dark shadows in SDR. This game looks like really bad SDR in the shadows.

[@DenisLiasis]

@@AndyGilleand i don't see that in sdr. My tv is sdr and I have it set to muted colours, muted contrast muted everything for a realistic image. That's me though. You can always play with the in-game brightness setting. Maybe you have it too high

I'm glad Digital Foundry still includes the standard PS4 and Xbox One in these analysis videos/reviews. A few reviewers have stopped including the standard consoles in these reviews, which makes no sense since the player base is still much bigger on the standard consoles.

[@simbin.]

Having both base model consoles, I chose to pre-order the XBOX version, since the last few PS4 games made it sound like a jet engine. Minor fps dips appear to be across the board anyway. One day I'll probably get a ONE X, and the PC version of the game, when it's on sale. Great video, thanks!

Rise of the tomb raider was an excellent game to showcase the Xbox One x. I didn’t mind the native 4K resolution mode at 30fps since a controller makes it feel right and acceptable. The HDR was phenomenal and honestly I don’t think I can go back to SDR and I’m enjoying more Andromeda and MCC with HDR. I’m not upgrading to the new 2080 card since my 1080 is still kicking ass @3440x1440. The Xbox One X is the best performance to price out their. Also when it comes to consoles the Xbox One X has the most Enhanced titles compared to the Pro. I will be getting Shadow and hopefully Montreal delivers.

Played this on my Xbox s, hell of a lot of tearing.

I’ll wait to play this on PS5 when the frame rate gets sorted.

@Transistor Jump so you think ps5 is going to equal a high end pc ? Lmfao not for 400 it won't, even at 600 which is too rich for most ps gamers

[@jamesw884]

@Raios Rogue it's OK PS5 will have remasters of all their good games this gen at full price

[@sanelchanel5820]

Mr Glass best version but sony still outselling microsoft 😂 go pick up spiderman for the xbox dude! you are missing out!

Xbox's Pubg 1.0 update is here , pls make the video

[@antoniogalindo9795]

Karanveer Singh Kalsi I got the game on release and it was shit specially since I have a Xbox One x and its preview hdr was trash. I got on it a few days ago and holy shit it’s playable it feels so smooth there’s no lag definitely 60fps and draw distance has increased and textures feel like their ultra. The loot boxes are still trash but the game is playable!

For a second can we enjoy how far graphics have come. Looking at the difference between the first tomb raider and the newest is crazy.

[@gabor-toth]

What an amazing looking game. I'll definitely use the 60 fps mode on my X, framerate matters much more to me than resolution. Especially if the controls feel "heavy". I love the reinvented Tomb Raider series so can't wait for this one.

[@vandammage1747]

Must admit this game looks MUCH better than the impression I got from trailers. Textures and shading really pop and more than 2x the resolution on X1X is impressive. Also Atmos sound on xbox. Too bad the protato mode was unplayable...

[@dickyboy2315]

Not 4k and not 60fps though. I thought 1080p is too blurry for you and 40-60fps with screen tearing is now acceptable. Why dont you play this on your imaginary gtx1080?

@@dickyboy2315 60fps on the pro is broken tho. Xbox one X kicks pro in his face

[@dickyboy2315]

@@animespicykiller1955 if i was going to play this game, which im not, i would play at 60fps on my PC. Who mentioned Pro?

@Mr Glass mmm yet i've proved i have a PC. lol now hold that L

[@vandammage1747]

@@dickyboy2315 , good for you that you dream of one time owning a pc. But that doesn't help protato and X1X obviously triggers you.

[@SuperMonshine]

That 30fps mode on the Xbox One X with Framerates below the 30fps and tearing its frankly inacceptable,this game ship Gold more than One month ago and still lacks polish.And i just love the way DF did not stress the 60fps mode on the Xbox One X to not show what others already shown that the Xbox One X drops even further on the Framerate on the 60fps more than what is shown!

[@theman8688]

SuperMonshine no it does not and if you are referring to NX gamer or whatever that was only in a couple spots lol

[@SuperMonshine]

@@theman8688 yes it does!

[@mjc0961]

What's your point? If it the Xbox One X drops even lower than shown on the 60 FPS mode, then so does the PS4 Pro. Was this supposed to make the Potato Pro sound better? Because it doesn't.

[@camjo_io]

Anyone who said "This game is a graphical downgrade from Rise" based on alpha footage and trailers... Kindly take your words, put them in a hydrolic press, crush them into a dense cylinder of total BS, and TRY to eat them.

[@Princess_of_hell_1947]

Well yeah the game is gorgeous

[@jerrodkilla23]

The amount of detail in this game is staggering.

[@74Vidgamer]

Another 1 GB patch dropped on Friday for the One X, I thought it might fix the screen tearing but alas it’s STILL THERE!! It’s TERRIBLE once you reach the first village. It was noticeable in the jungle on certain areas when you would pan the camera but that village area is like tear city. Screen tearing should not be happening period in 2018 devs!!
