Since these two games are the closest related in the same third person action, adventure genre, I figured it would be interesting to see how their graphics would compare, ROTTR is a pretty good looking game, even on Xbone, but today I'll be using the PC screens to pit them against UC4. I understand 4k is possible on PC but not all of us has 4k screens so for the sake of convenience all shots will be 1080p. Do remember all cutscenes in ROTTR are pre rendered while fully real time in UC4, so for now I wont include them, just the gameplay shots.

There's much more to compare so I'll be keep posting as we go on. Feel free to insert your own, tho try to do it in similar environment for fair measure.

UC4 definitely looks better to me.

UC4 wins easily.

ROTR still looks good but Naughty Gods are on a different level.

Uncharted 4 obliterates it and every other game. It is hands down the best looking game of all time.

oh look, another Graphics thread.

Witcher 3 looks better and is a better game than both in my opinion, i don't give a shit about technical graphics.

Nice way to waste space, gpuking.

Use this one instead, if you are going to shitpost anyway.

Also, rise of the tomb raider, cause it looks better and doesn't lag.

YOU COMPARE TOMB RAIDER GAMEPLAY VS UNCHARTED 4 CUTSCENES OR PHOTO MODE.

COMPARE GAMEPLAY, NOT FUKING CUTSCENES

LETS COMPARE GAMEPLAY(FROM DIRECT GAMEPLAY, NOT PHOTO MODE)

RotTR is a very grainy looking game. I'm talking about the Xbone version because that's the one I got.

It's an insult to Uncharted to compare it to a 360 game.

So are we comparing a high end PC to PS4?

If so Pc is always going to win on shadows and lighting and LOD.

And here come the pc morons who deny my gameplay shots as cutscene shots when they haven't even played the game, cherry pick some more bad shots of UC4 and see if you can prove any points. Why don't we use the best shots of both games instead, or are you too afraid to use them? Just because there are better onesout there doesn't mean they are from cutscenes lol. Most of the assets in TR are fairly low res, clearly showing its cross gen root.

The biggest issue of TR on XBone is the shader aliasing, that along can cause the whole frame to look crap especially in foliage laden scenes. Compared to UC4, you'll see a stark contrast of how clean and bullshot looking UC4 is.

Tomb raider has better lighting, hair and runs at 60fps. Wins by default. It also plays better which is the most important thing.

Good lord people.

They look close enough that it doesnt matter.

It comes down to design choices and art direction.

I hate graphics arguments because fanboys will defend things with their lives like it matters.

I haven't played UC4 yet so cant comment on that, but RotTR Pc ultra looks magnificent, I've played and finished it, I doubt UC4 can look better, especially with everything running at 60fps.

Wasn't trying too. You know TR is grainy but you just don't want to admit it.

@sts106mat: It's okay which is why it is being compared to U4. That's a compliment in itself. Shame about the graininess though.

Uncharted 4 isn't even the best looking game on its own system.

@gpuking: Uncharted 4 if we're going by Xbox 1 standards for Tomb Raider. Either way, Rise of the Tomb Raider had more stiff animations and felt a little more buggy than Uncharted 4. So I give Naughty Dog the edge for better animation.

This is why it's called "System Wars"

@Epak_:"still waiting for that PS4 port."

Do you think they will upgrade the graphics?

I don't really think it needs upgrading per se, maybe a more stable framerate?

I don't know, he thinks they are the best ever. The game looks better than those, but not good as UC4.
