Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
An unfair comparison

An unfair comparison

So, people have been talking about the new Tomb Raider Definitive Edition and how big of a graphical improvement it is over the original.

Kotaku is making a comparison of Definitive Edition to PC’s that can play last years released version on full.

At first I thought Definitive was the PC version being ported over to console and to a point it is. TressFX finally made it over to the consoles which was the big separator between the PC and console versions a year ago (other than maybe a few other graphical enhancements such as shaders). It still held back some graphical progress on PC since in the end as beautiful as it was it was still a console port.

The XBone and PS4 run on updated hardware, so it only makes sense to improve game the game quality as shown in the video above. This will also mean that the PC master race will not be held back by consoles for quite some time. 😛
