Xbox One X PlayStation 4 Pro PC The variation in colour between each version is once again evident in this scene but we also see a few very subtle background differences on PC using the highest settings. This helps verify that Xbox One X is a match for the PC's Very High texture setting. Xbox One X PlayStation 4 Pro PC PC (Depth of Field Off) Depth of field is missing on Xbox One X which does impact the clarity of texture detail in many scene, so we've included an extra PC shot with the effect disabled to give you a better idea how it stacks up.

Xbox One X PlayStation 4 Pro PC Once again the Xbox One X and PC offer higher resolution textures over PS4 Pro but the greatest enhancement comes in the form of Nvidia's VXAO on PC which greatly improves the accuracy of contact shadows. Each shot is using the highest resolution mode available. Texture resolution on Xbox One X appears on par with PC while PS4 falls slightly below, if you look closely. Xbox One X PlayStation 4 Pro PC There are wide variations in lighting between each version. It will be interesting to see if it reappears in the final build and, if so, whether or Nixxes they use the higher quality bokeh depth of field available on PC. It's strange that the effect is missing, as it was present in the original Xbox One release. Stacking up Xbox One X's results against PC with the same effect disabled, we get a very close match in detail, confirming higher quality assets on the new console build. Secondly, the Gamescom build of Rise of the Tomb Raider on Xbox One X runs with depth of field disabled, giving the illusion of further detail resolved in the scene even though it's an important effect in the post-process pipeline that has actually been removed (for now, at least).

Yes, they even manifest on the 1080p high frame-rate mode.

Does Xbox One X run with higher quality textures or not? There was a lot of confusion surrounding this comparison last time due to the procedural dirt system, but with further hands-on time, plus running specific comparisons through the PC version at various settings, we can make some firm conclusions.įirstly, the extra memory on Xbox One X means that textures nearly on par with the PC's highest setting are available here, and a welcome twist is that these textures persist across all three display modes on Xbox One X, so you'll always enjoy higher quality assets regardless of the selected option. However, we can finally draw an element of confusion about our last analysis to a close. Unfortunately, the Prophet's Tomb is just about the worst level for drawing conclusions on detail settings but essentially, we're looking at settings equivalent to PS4 Pro's 4K checkerboard mode which is lower in turn than PC's highest possible settings. Here's the detailed report you've been waiting for. We've been hands-on with the early Rise of the Tomb Raider Xbox One X demo. Granted, the level of detail is pushed back compared to the PC version, but it holds up better than you might think. The native 4K mode is indeed impressive as Rise of the Tomb Raider remains a highly demanding game on the PC. We actually played through the demo four times - in 4K, 4K HDR, and using the alternative rendering modes: Enriched 4K and High Frame-Rate. This is the Gamescom demo we're hands-on with, covering off around ten minutes of gameplay from the Syria-based Prophet's Tomb level.

We've alerted Microsoft to the issue, but in the meantime, remember that everything tested here is pre-production software running on production hardware hosting a non-final operating system.Īnd there's certainly plenty to test. Interestingly, the other games we grabbed at the recent Microsoft showcase event that do not support HDR (Killer Instinct, Quantum Break) do not exhibit the issue, possibly suggesting a firmware tone-mapping bug in the preview Xbox One X units. But right now, all eyes on are the upcoming Xbox One X port, demonstrating what looks like the best console version of the game yet.īefore we jump into that, a curious anomaly has popped up in our most recent captures of both Rise of the Tomb Raider and Forza Motorsport 7 - a colour-shift that seems to desaturate the footage a touch. At this point, the only thing missing is a Switch port. From supporting the ageing Xbox 360 to the PlayStation 4 Pro and PSVR all the way up to the Xbox One X, Nixxes has become the caretaker for Crystal Dynamics' most recent outing. It simply demonstrates the love and care developer Nixxes has poured into maintaining the game over the years.

It's true, we've covered Rise of the Tomb Raider so many times over the past couple of years that we've even given it a YouTube playlist - but this is by no means a bad thing.
