Tomb Raider revealed for PS4 and XBOX One

This game is plenty fun, for what it is. Not sure why people hate on it.

I thought that the game was pretty well received overall, and the big cloud hanging over its head was just Squeenix being mad that it didn't sell exactly one billion copies. But then I don't venture out into the world of the internet's opinion too often.

I remember that too. It was like, "Dude, we only sold 3 million copies? WE COULD HAVE SOLD SO MUCH MORE!"

Using better textures isn't that hard or expensive, that's why HD remakes are so cheap. They won't even need to upgrade modeling in this, just textures because the game is so recent.

This will be one of the cheapest remakes of all time.

Most HD ports don't even improve textures, or anything at all, except the rendering resolution.

Most of them upgrade the texture and modeling of important characters and items. In the god of war collection, it was only Kratos, so that was a very cheap one. The Kingdom Hearts 1.5 was probably one of the most expensive, but it doesn't look like they really upgraded much of anything, it was likely expensive though because they had to rebuild from a copy of the disk.

FFX/X-2 is on an entirely different level of HD remake than the rest, with upgraded modeling on all the important characters, upgraded textures on just about everything, and new content.

On this they'll probably just swap in the PC textures and call it a day.

Now, I haven't played a lot of HD ports, but out of those I've played, I don't think any of them have improved textures.

I actually played GoW HD but I didn't notice any texture increase. Do you have some screenshots that would show the difference? I also didn't notice anything like that in MGS2/3, KH1.5 Okami, ZoE or Jak&Daxter either. The games look better, of course, but not due to texture increases.

No, but you can probably find comparisons on google.
Edit: Like I said, in GOW HD the only thing they improved besides resolution was how Kratos looked. At least in the first one anyways, I have yet to play the second one.

Nah, I'm good. I'll just stick to my personal experience until someone proves me wrong
