Rise of the Tomb Raider Xbox 360 vs Xbox One Graphics Comparison

[@EnterTheSoundscape]

To be fair it looks like one of the best looking Xbox 360 games I have ever seen! Bloody incredible for such an old system, unlike BO3 which on last gen looks worse than the original Black Ops.

[@vPRiiXX]

.. and runs with half the framerate of Black Ops 1

[@HeyCMDR1991YT]

The reason why Black ops 3 on Xbox 360 and PS3 looks so horribly bad because it was never made for the 360 and PS3 it was supposed to be made for Xbox One and PS4 but Activision decided to be extremely greedy and hire high Moon studios to make a 360 and PS3 version they had to strip so many features and dropped the resolution all the way down to 480p and upscaled 1080p it was the worst looking game I ever seen but as bad as it looked I actually enjoyed the online multiplayer and online zombies that's about it the frame rate is pretty stable but it can drop all the way down to 30 FPS if there is a lot of shit going on in front of you lol but after I maxed out at level 50 I never played Black ops 3 360 and PS3 version ever again it was fun while it lasted

[@CampionBun]

As an Xbox 360 game this doesn't actually look that bad!

[@paradoxzee6834]

For me the 360 version looks better yeah its more "cartoony" but it looks more like Tomb Raider

[@magnoflex3517]

+Madnam best graphic on the X360 maybe

[@synthsx]

+CodeNameZ bro its 720p, low res textures, no volumetric light, low res shadow, low geometric details, less foliage and detais in general on x360. Explain to me how it look better for you. Im curious.

[@paradoxzee6834]

ivo I already say it, it looks more like a Tomb Raider game, when I see the colors in the 360 version it just says Tomb Raider to me. While the X1 version yeah in theory looks better I just dont have that Tomb Raider feel while seeing the X1 version

How the fuck do they manage to get that much from the 7th gen consoles ?!

[@generationsgamer8548]

That's why it makes me laugh when people claim PS4 is already maxed out. Compare a 360 launch to 2 year old game...to Rise of Tomb on 360 and it's very clear how much these fixed consoles can muster. We haven't seen the best of PS4. Games like Detroit: Become Human is showing the potential of PS4, but even that will be surpassed down the line by the last titles that will be developed for PS4. When God of War 4 is revealed, it will be the most technically, beautiful console game (and even including PC) to date. Watch. It will be like...HOLY CRAP, "I didn't know the PS4 was THIS powerful."

The last proper last-gen port. By the time this was released I think the Xbox 360 had just turned ten years old. The PS3 and Xbox 360 era was so much better than the current generation mess that we have now.

By watching this video I was thinking "Why not having this game on Nintendo Switch?" It make perfect sense to port the X360 version with some improvement to the Nintendo Switch.

R.I.P Xbox 360 July 29 2024......Because of the Xbox 360 a lot of PC owners benefited for a long time because of optimizing for a 2005 console with only 512 MB of memory and so PC owners although they called consoles peasants it was the console's game development that were actually PC Master Race's unsung heroes....Nowadays developers don't care about memory management they just load everything at once with very little or poor assets and texture streaming and large Hard Drive storage requirements.....

[@WiseGuy3683]

Yes, the hardware in the 360 is 10 years old but you have to remember, the hardware in the XB1 and even the PS4 is, for the most part, from 2010 and 2011. They weren't the bleeding edge when they released and the hardware choices they went with weren't top notch even when that hardware released for PC. The GPU's in both the XB1 and PS4 are weaker then a GTX 680. The CPU's in both the XB1 and PS4 are weaker then all i7's, all i5's, and even all i3's. Again, I'm not saying they're bad systems but they aren't sporting hardware that's industry leading and they were dated by several years at launch (kind of like Wii U just not as bad). This is unlike 360 and PS3 which actually were the bleeding edge during that time. Heck, getting a computer with an Intel dual core CPU back then was pretty hot stuff back then. Both 360 and PS3 were sporting high end Power PC CPU's with more cores then industry leading computers and had GPU's in them that were the bleeding edge for the time.

[@kristiantheslayer]

I have only just got the PS4 version and even before seeing this comparison I didn't think the next gen Tomb Raider was that much of a step up graphically from the last one I played on the PS3. The lighting is the biggest thing and the rest extremely minor graphical improvements.

Lol yes you can play on really old hardware. And I agree about the multiple consoles. Went through 3 PS3 during the generation. I prefer PC to consoles. My hardware in my PC right now could last for years, but I choose to upgrade it often. That flexibility helps a lot.

[@znubionek]

+Péter Sági they would had to make DirectX 9 version of the game so it could run on 2005 PCs. But why, when less than 1% people who would buy this game have 10 years old PC. And there are no optimized drivers for 10 year GPUs - again, because no one uses 2005 PC anymore. Current $100 laptops are faster than that.

[@petersagi275]

+wooooowwe1 I can see your point, but I never bought more than 1 PS3, which I still play to this day. (If you want to consider hardware amortization, its also a factor on PC) Also: I live in an Eastern-EU country where most people can't afford to spend more than a few hundred bucks for 5-6 years in gaming. But I would probably choose console anyway because of the killer price/perfmance/lifespan ratio and exklusives.

The sales weren't good when ps3 was released for the price of €599 while xbox360 only €499. That's why MS did better. Later PS3 did get the pricecut. So I guess they didn't want to re-experience the same thing so that's why we got a cheaper console which will only last like few years. A big difference.

Honestly, this is why Nintendo thought they could bet on the Wii U's Xbox 360+ level hardware. With work, almost all current gen titles could function well on the Wii U, just as this ambitious current gen title functions well on Xbox 360. What they did not count on was that gamers would move so quickly to the new hardware and their own abysmal marketing and sluggish game release calendar would make their platform unattractive. Finally, the Wii U severally lacked a competent online system at launch, which is a deal breaker for many third party games.

I get curious as to how the game looks ever since the One games have been released. Ever since owning a One, I turned my back against the 360 as far as collecting newer games that would be significantly better on the newer platform. However I do like to see a comparisons between the 2 which I'm glad to say this video covered very well. I find it astonishing how much has been pushed on the 360 to nearly match the One's graphical area. The 360 version of RofTR completely blows the Beenox's ported version of BO3 away in comparison. It's been an awesome 10years of playing on the 360, even though I've only been apart of it for 8yrs.

Take cod blops3 for example. The 360 version looks WORSE than any other cod game on the 360. They developed it with the current gen consoles in mind, and when it came to porting it to older hardware they just removed so much and released it, no effort went into it.

It was hard to program for because of the weird architecture and some ports don't run smoothly because the programmers used only the main CPU and didn't know how to use the rest of the resources, but a capable team that knows how to extract 100% of the power of the system, can don wonders with it.

[@ArielJerseyJr]

This proves that the 7th gen consoles are much better than today's consoles.

[@drummer7557]

+Ariel Jersey Jr Amen, more games, more originality, that's why I'll never get rid of it. :)

[@reallybigbiscuit3568]

@Ariel Come here Umaru-Chan! >:)

[@drummer7557]

Nick Motsarsky I doubt the world will last that long lol. We'll see I guess :-)

[@ArielJerseyJr]

***** Lmao. xD This is Illya btw just in a Umaru hoodie.

[@reallybigbiscuit3568]

Ariel Jersey Jr Lol I got it all wrong xDD My gawd, I thought it was UMR all along.

[@klr2m]

Impressed by the 360 version. Started it on the One today, and it's a spectacular looking game.

[@whodatninja439]

This game looks incredible on 360, all things considered. When last-gen consoles can still produce these images, it makes me wonder if the current gen couldve waited a few years before coming out.

[@stevenoconnor5693]

It would be interesting if you did a side-by-side comparison of all three of the tomb raider and reboot games in contrast to the improvements or changes to the graphics to the effects directly I think it would make for an interesting video and show some of the technical aspects of some of these passed games in comparison to the upcoming release.

[@FalconMcBob]

I completed this on Xbox One and truly had no problems with the input "lag".. It in no way effects your gameplay experience.

[@Nightek1]

In the final parts of the adventure or in secondary areas the care to detailis is very lacking, the rendering distance of the objects is very evident and objects lose details a few meters away, but the framerate remains stable at 30 FPS. I wonder if they could sacrifice a few frames for better graphic detail. Overall the 2013 chapter is visually richer and more refined, even if it presents extremely rough character models.

[@techunfiltered6874]

+DigitalFoundry Please start uploading these videos in 4K. Possibly 1080p per screen for those gfx card comparisons you do, that would really help. Also you could upload console comparison videos to youtube in 2K (1080p per screen in split screen). Cheers!

[@ravajbains8672]

Xbox 360 still looks brilliant considering its limitations, I have a series x and am wondering if I can play the Xbox 360 version as opposed to the Xbox one version that would be trippy, will just have to go through my collection to find it lol

[@HeyCMDR1991YT]

Unfortunately you cannot play tomb raider reboot or rise of the tomb raider Xbox 360 version on Xbox One or Xbox Series XS instead you actually need a Xbox 360 console in order to play them it's pretty stupid if you ask me but they want people to play the Xbox One version or PS4 version on your Series XS or PS5 you need a PS3 console if you want to play the PS3 version

[@YCStudios_greece]

Why would you do that?

[@madson-web]

I think it is time to revisit this comparison and put it along the other newer TR games

[@Gamer4life-n1i]

It really does show that the XBOX ONE and PS4 graphical leap from last gen isn't that big, as it was from sixth to seventh generations.

[@Mickice]

360 looks better in some area, smh.

[@Tryhardfann]

+Zurg Goide What does pony mean? That's just a baby horse right?

[@ark14700]

+Mickice *some minor aspects of certain areas on 360 look better than on xb1 Just because the carpet in one scene is slightly less blurry or one pillar on the side has slightly less jaggies doesn't mean the whole picture looks better -_-

[@olivierbufole1291]

+Mickice MINOR aspects. The X1 has noticeably better everything else.

[@Tryhardfann]

***** What does "pony" have to do with playstation fanboys though? Is it just because "Pony" rhymes with "Sony"?

[@Mickice]

You gotta be rich to own a pony. Which is surprising this Gen as Xbox One is expensive as shit.

[@periclessilva3597]

Finally a respectful port for old gen. If devs are not up to make a good work like this, better not release on old gen - this greed is not appreciated by us, gamers.

[@aaronmathias6739]

A magnificent review mate! Just because of this review, I ended up purchasing the game for the Xbox 360. Once again, Thank you :-)!

[@turismofoegaming8806]

“Nips & Tucks, Snips & Such”!! Love the choice of words considering the Context of… Everything!

[@RyuRanXII]

Nixxes did an outstanding job porting Tomb Raider 2013 to PC. Let's hope they do it again.

[@gladebiddle1454]

+Rei dos Vermes They did bugger up the gamma, which is something that was never fixed. But otherwise it was a good job.

[@Chef19764]

Measured against the hardware, the Xbox 360 version is very good in itself. I was all the more surprised when a PS3 version didn't come out in the end. Because the first Tomb Raider in the new series on the PS3 looks significantly sharper than the Xbox version. In any case, the old hardware showed what it still had under the hood.

[@ThoughTMusic]

It looks utterly amazing for running on something as old as an Xbox 360. The input lag issue BLOWS my mind. What a horrible situation. Do you want it to look good but not play well, or know full well that the visuals are hindered but feel good? I'd rather have controls but I hate the idea of knowing a better visual experience is out there.

[@gerianime3859]

I think her hair is better in the xbox 360 version

[@DarcyAu]

What keeps confusing me is developers releasing remasters of games at 60 fps on the new consoles then releasing the sequals at 30fps.. Looking at the upcoming Gears 4... Halo was the only one to keep consistency, this is why I stay on PC.

[@PsyEdaz4u]

A machine with 512mb ram compared to something with a 8GB ram....yet x360 has better physics >> 1:40 I hope m$ can make a true successor to x360 someday....this vcr called XBO just sucks.

[@Kill0rbAg]

+az4u What?! What are you trying to pull here? It's exactly the same, not to mention that it is a scripted sequence that has almost nothing to do with actual in game physics.

[@zakk1699]

+rottie55 You dont need to own one to know that XD

[@LonelyGamr]

the games dont use the whole 8gigs. half of that is reserved for other parts of the console.

[@olivierbufole1291]

+az4u how does it have better physics? 2. I like how you ponies are making a big deal over minor differences when the X1 has noticeably better graphics.

[@anouarnajah]

yeah the hair reacted more realistically on the x360

[@IlIlIlIlIlIlIlIIlIlIlIlIl]

2:45 Check them lamps on the right, I prefer the XO in this case, but prefer the carpet in 360

[@TheAmazingSpiderGuy_99]

This port needs more talking about, what a bunch of wizards.

[@drummer7557]

Hence the reason I bought the 360 version, it's great. And the controls are a LOT better considering the 360 controller is the best one of any gen yet. I'll NEVER get an xbox one. The Ps4 and 360 are find for all my gaming needs. Also saving a ton of money. :) Keep it.

[@1MadBurrito]

Input lag is so atrocious, looks like Xbone can't handle this game.

[@stevebrown7877]

It's already been patched

[@123doomdoom]

+MadBurrito x Hi shit head welcome back

[@1MadBurrito]

123doomdoom Oh you again, i remember how hard you got rekt last couple of times, wanna get retk again, peasant boy?

[@akhil9581]

+DigitalFoundry I think it would have been better if you had included some normal speed gameplay footage
