Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition comparison video shows off next-gen graphics
Tomb Raider was already a mighty pretty game when it launched last year on last-gen consoles. But, how does the Definitive Edition fare on PS4 and Xbox One? Will the generation jump really affect the visuals in a noticeable way?

You can judge for yourself in a new comparison video released by IGN. On one hand, it's impressive to see how well the last-gen version fares. On the other hand, some of the updated lighting effects sure do look pretty.

Why is it that I don't really care about the lighting on the back of the jacket of a random NPC I have to kill in this game? Is there something wrong with me?

I like the particle effects, not sure if I'm crazy about the new Laura model....won't matter anyway....highly doubt these changes will make it to pc.

It's difficult to attribute all of the enhanced visual fidelity to just the more power GPU vs the team having extra time to refine details since the time they would have had to freeze development on the last gen versions. Or, the marketing aspect of the higher detail version being made first, and then paired down on the last gen to upsell the new gen. That's not out of the question either, and I don't think Shacker would put it past any publisher to do just that.

Yeah. Needs more sauce.

So basically they are just bringing the original PC version to Console and changing the name... which would explain why they are not offering the new version on PC.

I see quite a few differences between the pc and the "next gen" version. Not enough to warrant a full price though.

However, the PS4 and Xbox One versions will also feature upgraded character models, and an upgraded physics system that now affects the items that are rendered on Lara's character model. There's also a new particle system, new lighting, enhanced shadows, and additional graphical details, like added wall detail and more environmental vegetation.
