Games Thirst – Amazing Life
A new controversy is yet again engulfing the Xbox One, this time it has nothing to do with YouTube shilling or DRM, but resolutions and framerate. Apparently, contrary to what was announced, Tomb Raider: The Definitive Edition will run at 30fps on Xbox One, but on PS4, the story is different. It runs smoothly at 1080p and 60fps.
Tomb Raider executive producer Scot Amos pointed out the feature during a GamesRadar livestream last night (courtesy, Videogamer).
“Looking here, this is the PS4 version running at 60fps, again at 1080p,” Amos explained. “That’s awesome for that to be able to showcase because when you get your hands on it you can feel it.”
Prior to that, Amos told Eurogamer last week that, “The original goal for us, looking at both next-gen consoles… our minimum target was always gameplay front-to-back being 1080p and frame-rate 30fps,” he said, as part of a wider talk which covered Tomb Raider’s original sales expectations and upcoming sequel.
“That was our target, and I’m very happy to say we’ve achieved that target on both consoles and anything above that is just gravy.”
A third report puts more firm numbers on both – an average of 60fps on PS4 and 30fps on Xbox One, although the latter can climb to 45fps during some simpler sequences.
