TressFX is no joke. Shit will kill your fps if you don't have a capable setup. 'Tis the price you pay for gorgeous hair physics.

It still doesn't look like real hair. It looks...off.

From what I've read TressFX has been optimized for the definitive edition so that it isn't as spastic.

Albert Penello downplays XBO/PS4 difference in Tomb Raider; "we just shipped"

“Look, I had a lot of time to think about this and I believe in what I said. I believe that the differences between the boxes [PS4 and Xbox One] is not all that great and I know what is going behind the scenes and I have access to more information about some of this thing than a lot of people. Sometimes people tend to neglect the points that are in my favor and they like to highlight the points that tell me I am wrong. I still think Ryse is still the best looking game on any platform. Period. End of story,” he said.

“I think if you look at the title which we launch, which were multiplatform titles. The bulk of them were the same. I think there were 12 titles were released on both platforms [PS4 and Xbox One], leaving three, all of them had the same performance on both boxes. Everybody wants to focus on frame rate, there is Tomb Raider, there is a resolution thing going on and OK, there could be a lot of reasons why that could be true but we are just a [few] weeks in, we just shipped, it’s a long generation. People who bought an Xbox One are going to be in for an awesome generation of games that are only going to get better. I think these little things get way overblown versus like the quality of the games and the real differences in experiences which are pretty minor,” he said.

Digital Foundry: Tomb Raider: DE on PS4 vs Xbox One


CUTSCENE

Xbox One
Lowest FPS: 27fps
Highest FPS: 30fps
Average FPS: 29.98fps

PS4
Lowest FPS: 32fps
Highest FPS: 60fps
Average FPS: 53.36fps


GAMEPLAY

Xbox One
Lowest FPS: 24fps
Highest FPS: 30fps
Average FPS: 29.84fps

PS4
Lowest FPS: 33fps
Highest FPS: 60fps
Average FPS: 50.98fps

First up, let's compare the two versions of the game running exact like-for-like footage via engine-driven cut-scenes. On Xbox One, we see a lock at 30fps, with occasional dropped frames shifting results lower. Activity is far more interesting on the PS4 side though, with frame-rate varying from anything between 32fps to 60fps across our sample, with elements such as TressFX, depth of field and transparent alpha effects hitting frame-rate in a cumulative manner. Note in particular how scenes that switch between the TressFX-enabled Lara and the rest of the cast can see sudden switches in performance.

From synchronous rendering in engine-driven cut-scenes, we move on to actual gameplay, where we capture action from the same areas of each version. Clearly the results here won't represent exact like-for-like testing, but they do give us a better indication of how each version actually plays. There's a 71 per cent frame throughput boost on PS4 in these tests that owes much to the unlock, but a remarkable variation of 33-60fps across the run of play. For its part, Xbox One is clearly more consistent, but a lowest reported frame-rate dip of 24fps isn't great.

The overall feeling we get from the game is that two different developers handed in two different performance levels, and decisions were made on how best to work with the results. With the PlayStation 4 averaging at 50fps and often hitting 60fps, frame-rate was left unlocked, producing the markedly higher results you see in the tables above.

For Xbox One, we can only speculate, but we suspect that a lower overall performance resulted in even more noticeable judder were the game to remain unlocked - which would look really unattractive compared to the capped 30fps frame-rate we see in the final game. What's curious from our perspective is that United Front Games on Xbox One would have benefited from a reasonably straightforward porting process from the original PC DirectX 11 code since both platforms use the same API, while Nixxes would have needed to translate the original PC version across to the PS4's LibGNM API - not exactly a walk in the park based on this presentation from Ubisoft Reflections, who are handling the PS4 version of The Crew, ported across from the PC DirectX 11 codebase. Another development source we reached out to suggests that the DX11 'driver' for the Xbox One still requires a lot of work.

I love my PS4

 

[Twigg4075]

Wait, so the PS4 version does do 60fps?

 

[Handleit_44]

:yep:

 

[Twigg4075]

So then PT's post was misleading? Color me shocked.

Come on $30 price point.:med:

 

[JimLeavy59]

But you can watch sports in 60fps on the XBOX.

 

[jms493]

I find it so funny how console gamers are so concerned about fps all of a sudden.

They state in the damn article the xbone version is locked at 30 and the ps4 is unlocked. They also say the ps4 suffers from frame drops causing input lag and screen judder. So yea, none of this shit matters lol...

Love how defensive you get.

It's cute.

How is that defensive? They say it in the article. I'm quoting them, not going LULZ XBONE, LULZ PS4. I don't give a shit about this game either way, but you idiots grasping at straws is hilarious.

Jms hit the nail on the head, none of this shit mattered till now, it's just idiots being idiots about idiot things because they are idiots.

I'm pretty sure console gamers "just now worrying about FPS" is pretty far off base.

:yep: I remember when Madden 08 was running at 60 fps on 360 compared to 30 fps on the PS3. Although then, it was an issue of the developers not being familiar with the PS3's architecture.

Don't think its that console gamers care more about FPS now than in the past. Its more about why this console that is $100 cheaper is consistently outperforming its primary competitor.

I find it so funny how console gamers are so concerned about fps all of a sudden.

For a port of a PS3/360 game, they should. Unless you don't own it or haven't played it, there's no reason to buy it without a significant boost in looks and performance.
