Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for Xbox One and PlayStation 4

The upcoming Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition will have better graphics for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions. It will be a definitive improvement from its present PC version said Crystal Dynamics, who released a 2013 reboot of the game.

Scot Amos, executive producer at Crystal Dynamics, said during the Q&A at Eidos Forums that all in-game characters including Lara Croft will get a makeover where the company has worked on their geometry, textures and other aspects of characters. Croft will however have new "TressFX hair, new sub-surface scattering on skin, and overall new look."

He said the game will be making use of voice commands on consoles, as well as touch pad functionality in PlayStation 4's controller and Kinect functionality in Xbox One. He confirmed that, "And yes, gameplay in both versions is at full 1080p!"

Amos was asked about the upgrades in the game, "The amount of extra work - 3 studios and a full year of development - have pushed the boundaries beyond just TressFX and upgraded textures. We now have a new particle system, new lighting work and enhanced shadow-casters, tons of more visual storytelling elements (more debris, more details on walls, more density in the environment for vegetation), upgraded characters (Lara and main story NPCs), and we've also put all of the DLC materials into this version for PS4/Xbox One," he said.

"We are very happy with the PC version we released and felt these new additions and changes were something custom just for next-gen consoles at the moment," he added.
