View Full Version : The graphics so far :/
I have seen all of the TRU screen shots, and was really bummed out. I thought that the graphics would look spectacular and so much better than Legend and TRA since this game will be for PS3!
Are these the beta shots or something?
They most probably are beta, and I don't think Lara's model is 100% yet, but more importantly, the images you've seen are incredibly low quality. If you check out the blown up images on tombraiderchronicles.com, you'll see all the details are pretty blurry by screenshot standards. They will be bustling with realistic shimmery life in-game.
They look more like a T.V series cartoon, instead of amazing realistic graphics like I was expecting.
I hope so Bowie!

The graphics are great.
so far, very close to TEA, but at trchronicles.com, they appeared to be much better.
It's really hard to judge what the in game graphics will be like from still screen shots- I'm sure the light effects will make the scenery come to life :tmb:
Graphics looked great to me. :)

I've always thought that screenshots of a game never look as a good as the actual game itself when you're playing it, and I'm sure thats the case here.

well it depends on the frame rate, like lair ps3 game looks amazing still then u play it and the frame rate is horrible. i think the graphics will improve before release and in sequels. allthough its not breathtaking they are next gen standard but it wasnt the best level to show graphics from, it would be better for something more colourful! but the environment technology mud and destructive are next gen to!!
I agree, I'm disappointed as well, the graphics look nice enough and it's obviously still early development but still, I was (and still am) expecting a lot better from a first next gen game graphics wise.

I hear a lot of people complaining about the graphics. I think it's lovely, maybe not so much Lara's model, it barely changed from the Legend, except the face. But I'm not really bothered by that, the level where it rains looks awesome, I can't wait to play it!
Graphics look great, totally excited about this :tmb: :yah:

They dont really look very beta to me :p
well, the floor textures to look abit grainy.. :8}
They look pretty spectacular to me! The detail is beautiful.

:eek:
If you check out the clean/dirty Lara comp pics that is where I personally get the wow difference - the smoothness of her shape and face is far better than in-game shots of Legend and Anniversary in my opinion. :)
I think the background(pyramid & sky) looks so ugly :hea:
Yes, the graphics aren't as good as I was expecting unfortunately. :(
But I think it's really late to restart on Lara/environments's details etc...They have been working on the game since Legend was out. :(
But my fave screenshot is the one where she's standing on a bar, well-done graphically ! :tmb:

remember the early ps2 games they all had the same graphical range then skip to now, burnout, god of war anniversary big graphical step. what im saying is games graphics for next generation are nothing compared to what youll see in 5 or 6 years time, anyway this level isnt that colourful, wait till we see another level, and its gameplay that matters most

Exactly ! :tmb:
Also, concerning the PSone , Tomb raider 1 and Tomb Raider 5 are both 2 games that have been released on this console but you can see a huge difference between them. And when The PSone came out in 1994 , nobody could have expected Fifa 05's graphics , you see.
I think the visuals are beautiful and a great improvement over Anniversary. :tmb:

Actually,you can adjust the graphics in your tv screen. :whi:
I think they can look better. The one where she's crouching near the whole leading below, looks like PS2 Legend. But we'll see once we get HQ screens.

I think the graphics are amazing, I may not like the look of the game itself at the moment, but the graphics are stunning, I'll give them that.
Those graphics are spectacular for me !! We should wait for HQ screenshots anyway, but I'm already really impressed by them !
Considering these are the first screens i wouldn't take them that seriously.But so far I quite like not the graphics itself but the atmosphere CD's technology could bring. My dream of rainy Mexican ruins is coming true finally;)

Ugh... not this again?? :(
Look, what you are seeing right now are extremly blurry, low quality images which in no way show the finished product - I bet they are only the beta shots from a few months ago or something, Tomb Raider Underworld will look sooo much more spectacular when it's finished!! :jmp:
Also remember one of CD's focus's in the new game - a gameworld that comes to life, changing weather systems with clashing thunderstorms, torrential downpours and a good old crackle of lightning, these combined with the new lighting system - which by the way no-one should judge in these early shots, need to see it before your own eyes n all that ;) - will truly bring Lara's world to life, and believe me CD ain't gonna skimp on the visual effects either!!
Ooohh and moving foliage and slippery surfaces, brill wee touches!! :cln:
IMO They look realistic, not plasticy like Legends :)
I think the graphics looks great. It will look much better ingame. With bump maps, shadows and light and the water rippling on the ground.:cln:

I agree. Plus I don't think the author of Underworld's write-up in PLAY would say he was absolutely awe-struck for no reason.
Yeah I disapointed too. I doesn't look ugly but come on' there's so much better. Anyway, I'll reserved my judgement when we will have and HD trailer.

most nex-gen content come from the texture quality and by taking a screen of it, it will automaticly convert it to bitmap jpeg or ect which lowers the texture quality ALOT! Also notice that taking pictres of nexgen legend make the game look much worse than when playing the actual game.

Yeah, especialy the water. You get the same type of water in other games, and if you took a screen you;d know they'd look horrible :p (next gen legend water looks foamy in screens) but it's all waaavy :D

Talking about the graphics?!
I think they are great!!! Why don't you like them? I don't see anything wrong,and I agree with those who say that it is just the picture quality..
TR doesn't need to have the best graphics to be a perfect game! Most fans like the older series cos of the game puzzles,they don't mind about the graphics!!!
I can't wait to play this,It looks great!:D
Wait until you're playing it before you judge it.
Wait until you're playing it before you judge it.
True! It's development very early stages and they start from what they already have, ie. TRL. Even at this stage, I'm surprised how advanced they are.
The judgement day will be when you play the game, and since then, many improvements/breakthoughs can come.
Most difficult things don't come first. Be patient!
for me puzzles are much more important than graphics. I don't know how TRU puzzles will be but graphics looks awesome! :tmb:
The screenshots never show the graphics the way they are. They always look better in-game. :)
First people love the graphics...then they don’t... :rolleyes:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f176/illuminati30/block.jpg
Indeed, that last screenshot is really the best IMO. If they use bumpmapping and dynamic shadowing, then I agree this is a next-gen game. Judging from the last screenshot, I can TELL that this is a next-gen game. But some of the screenshots don't show any bumpmapping or next-gen effects at all and it's not because they're blurry, but because they simply aren't there! I hope they get all the graphics up to the standard set by that last picture, then I'll be very satisfied...

From what we have heard, the lighting is going to look like nothing we have seen before, and the changing weather sounds great too, I have NO doubt that this game will look amazing :)
@ godmodder: I think that screenshot is the worst I've seen so far. I can see lots of effects, but it doesn't look very realistic. Surfaces are too shiny and the entire area's too tidy (for example, there's almost no debris, no leaves. It's a bit like Legend's next gen mode, just too plasticky. The other screenshots look better, especially those of the outside area.
I have seen all of the TRU screen shots, and was really bummed out. I thought that the graphics would look spectacular and so much better than Legend and TRA since this game will be for PS3!

Tbh, there isn't really anything better available out there, graphics wise that is. "Next-gen" graphic libraries do not include anything new-flashy itself... it all goes down to artists creativity and programmers ability to render it out while it all lays under a good business to feed as with "new" goodies a bit by bit :/
THUMBS UP for CD guys for baking up rain-effects on Lara and such :tmb:
Aren't these pics from a Magazine? Let's wait for *officially* released pics before judging.
@Mona Sax
Well, the rocks don't seem plastic to me. I think the next-gen mode in Legend looked wonderfull! The water effects, the bumpmapping on the rocks, the shadows (although now they could use more filtering),... But then came Anniversary and there was no next-gen mode at all. I mean, common, the game's graphics were almost nothing more then 3D meshes with textures on them. It felt like I was thrown back to the pre-shader generation of graphics. We have all this GPU power available today, let's put it to some good use!

:rolleyes:
With most games, graphics don't really improve after the initial screenshots. At least I can't think of any games where the graphics were changed dramatically after the beta period. After the graphics engine has been developed, the focus moves on to (and totally justified) gameplay.

I don't mind bump-mapping, I just think they should reduce contrast a bit and make it look more organic. For example, in that screenshot, the pillar in the middle looks awesome. The block on top of it is too bright, too perfect, which makes it look fake in comparison. Maybe a bit of dust or something will fix that.
At least I can't think of any games where the graphics were changed dramatically after the beta period.
Tr6 used to look a lot more cell-shaded :D
They could use gloss mapping to avoid having the whole object that shiny. Unfortunately, I see that effect only very rarely implemented in today's graphics engines...
I admit I've seen a lot better graphics on PS3 and xbox360. But those are most likely from early development and most of the screens are pretty blurry/low res. She looks great in some screens and in some not so great.
I'm hoping they are going to use a vast amount of colours like Uncharted. Heck.. anything beats Anniversary's grey colour scheme. And I hope TRU looks atleast as good as FFXIII. :whi:

In TRU the weather should randomly change and the changes will affect the gameplay as well.

I'm a pretty hardcore gamer so I've played my share of games. TR1 WAS one of the first 3d games featuring big environments. I'm not saying there weren't 3D games before or anything.
Like I said TR1 was top tier. Maybe TR2 to some extent.
Sorry, it pasted the wrong quote. It was to Sara Croft
I cannot see any difference between TRL/TRA graphics and TRU ones.

Yeah the graphics aren't that big a leap from Tomb Raider Legend, which came out 2 years ago.
But Crystal Dynamics is a great developer, and they definitely have the technology. I think this game will look breathtaking by the time it releases (it's probably releasing Fall 2008 right?)
illuminati30
16-12-07, 21:10
I really do see a difference, but it reminds me a lot of Tomb Raider Legend on the 360. Perhaps this is a ramped up unused area from Legend. If you think about Legend, some areas look fantastic, like really stunning, Bolivia, Peru, Ghana, England etc where as some areas like Japan and Kazakhstan where a bit eeeekk!. This is a pretty dark level of the game. I think when you see an outside area with the sun beaming, you are gonna see some prettiness, and hopefully lots of the inside of elaborate tombs/temples/caves as well!
I say, give it time! Remember, this is supposed to be a dark level!
It a cut-out level from Legend for god sake, what are you guys expecting... Wait until they show completely new screens of other levels...

16-12-07, 21:25
The overall look of the game is not all that realistic; however, the graphics are still up to date with the competition, or at least pretty close. They're not the best graphics out there as of yet, but we haven't seen enough to make any big judgements.
Don't get me wrong, I would be more than thrilled to see some graphics and animation up to par with a game like Uncharted, for example. However, if they do not reach that level, I still have no complaints, as that is a high standard to reach. What I've seen already looks very impressive though, and I'm excited to see what else CD has in store for us. :jmp:
Graphics I'm not so worried about, although PS3 can handle more than the double of this. Gameplay is what concerns me.

I think that the TRU screenshots look pretty good so far. I definitely expect the game to look better when I play it since these are low-quality pictures. I won't know for sure exactly how it will look until I get to play the demo, but that's a long way off. In the mean-time, I'm sure we'll get some nice, high-quality screenshots which will show off much more detail than what we've seen so far. At least wait until January before you decide that the graphics are horrible :)

Don't worry. These screenshots are more than likely PS3 screenshots and incredibly low-res (800x600 probably). Also, they are probably beta screenshots. So far, I am completely, utterly blown away. The in-game model looks as good as the model in the TRA trailer. Her skin looks REAL! Just wait, when we start getting the high-resolution PC screenshots, people's jaws are really going to drop!

and I still think that the graphics in TRU will be a big dissapintment.
Just remember to bite your tongue when they aren't....;):ton:

:P youre probably right..;)
though I still think both TRL and TRA was waaay beyond the capability of the PS2.... and Im really scared they will do it again....
I say, jay for the FMVs in the old games! bring them back, and Ill stop judging the ingame graphics!
it´s like in some of the Final Fantasy games.. take FFX for example. the in game graphics wasnt really all that great... though I totaly didnt care cause they had those AWESOME FMVs in it, like a treat to long for.

I guess but idk the FMVs kinda take away fromthe actual in-game feel...
Them we are all like "i wish the in-game looked like the fmv graphics"
I love how people can judge from low res magazine images.

That sounds promising :cool:
Hi, I also think graphics look quite poor. They have made next gen textures as they did with legend but the environment is not that much detailed. For example in the ruins we see on some screenshots the ground is flat, there could be debris on. And the "new weather system" doesn't seem that impressive, what one can see on screenshots is just a flat sky and "rain" (and no water on the ground). A real next gen weather system would have at least volumetric clouds. A good point is that the plants seem to look better than in legend (and there are more) and the model of Lara seems a little more detailed but indeed these are small screens and we cannot see every detail.

How can u tell `volume` from a static image?

Im jusst saying. its like TRA all over again.
the first images, (link above) made everyone go nuts saying they sucked, and jusst like this time, everyone ceept saying stuff like "they´re beta-screenings and vill look better in the game" or "those are low quality pictures, you cant judge from a low res picture"...
and I agree, you can´t judge from a low res picture scanned from a magazine... but after the last times, Its hard not to...

What?You were disappointed with TRA's visuals? Really, I don't get some people. Is TR some kind of visual benchmark for you ?

1 point for Jay. Please tell me Jay, that the graphics are amazing... :)
The screenshots you refer to don’t do the game justice; at least I hope not.
Just look at Lara herself; Crystal are far from done here.

The lack of detail on her hair for example tells me that TRU is very much still a work in progress.
:wve:
You are right Jaywalker ! I'll judge when a trailer will be out.
BTW, I didn't want to create a thread for that but look at this technical video from a PS3 game call Heavy Rain. I can't believe it, there's some part (3:55) where it look 100% real. We can almost feel her pain. Hope Lara will look like this, I mean, the facial expression and everything else.

You do realize Heavy Rain is a game which main focus is storytelling and the characters right?
You are not going to see those characters doing backflips and dodging bullets.

There is going to be motion capture, and they said that the face animations will be looking very realistic... Now, don't expect something near to Heavy Rain, but I think you should expect something great, though...

Ehhh. I know I'm not crazy. I was just talking about the animation, the facial expression. I don't want Lara to cry like this, I just want Lara to look real like this with emotion and facial expression.

No, I meant the level of detail. You are probably not going to see that in TRU. Heavy Rain is a game where the facial expression is very important since it features a lot of character interaction and story but in TRU you are going to see a woman figure from behind most of the time.
amiro : I'm not saying it won't be good I'm just saying we can't expect TRU to look as good as Heavy Rain in terms of facial detail.
I think the pictures look really great! :D I just hope that it will run on my PC, as I can't afford to buy a new one! :(

Geforce 4... You should definately change it... Or just buy an console it might be better for you... If you like to play games, and you are sick to always update your PC hardware...

Oh sorry I missunderstood. I agree, even if it won't be that good, it can still be awsome.
