Shadow of the Tomb Raider Runs at 4K/60FPS on XB1X

Rychu · May 2, 2018

The upcoming Shadow of the Tomb Raider will run at 4K resolution and 60FPS on the Xbox One X, according to Eidos Montreal boss David Anfossi.

4K and 60FPS on Xbox One X, Anfossi said during the interview, although he didn't say whether this is native 4K resolution and a locked 60FPS on Microsoft's enhanced Xbox One. In addition, the studio head confirmed that the final game of Lara Croft's origin will feature a new rendering and lighting system to exploit the maximum potential of the Xbox One X, although the game is being optimized for all platforms.

Anfossi added that he believes that Shadow of the Tomb Raider will be the most beautiful game ever on the Xbox One S at this point

We will probably see a 4K60fps gameplay demo at Microsoft's E3 conference based on all of the Xbox advertising in the official CG teaser and the fact they keep promoting the Xbox One X.

EDIT: For those who want to see what exactly was said. Skip to 4:26.

Quote from the video interview:

"I can't say too much but there will be a scene with 150 NPCs running at 4K with 60 frames per second."

I'll need to see the receipts. Awesome if it pans out, though.

lets hope its not the medium setting in order to achieve this. (especially the 60 FPS part)

SmashN'Grab · May 2, 2018

I expect this'll get clarified to mean two different modes, one for 4K and one for 60fps.

texhnolyze · May 2, 2018

I wanna see the receipt.

Perhaps it's actually 4K or 60FPS. The game is getting bigger than ever, it's unbelievable.

Nemesis_ · May 2, 2018

This is unprecedented for the Xbox One X isn't it?

I'd assume that it'll have the same display options as Rise did.

Interview seems to imply it's the same mode to me.

It's hard to believe considering Jaguar cores are a huge bottleneck.

Noroi_Kisaragi · May 2, 2018

Wait was the game announced?

sirap · May 2, 2018

4K/60?? Damn, that would be a treat. XBX is a beast if it could pull that off with RoTR visuals.

New Fang · May 2, 2018

This is immediately reminding me of the guy working on Detroit Become Human recently saying the game ran at native 4K, only to later say "oops, I didn't mean to say that".

Not a chance in hell Tomb Raider runs at 4K 60fps.

space_nut · May 2, 2018

This game is going to be graphically top quality stuff

did it achieve Rotr 4k with 60 FPS?

tulpa · May 2, 2018

I don't believe that for a second. I doubt it will even have a stable 60fps mode for 1080p. He must have meant something else.

janusff · May 2, 2018

Probably have different modes. Best thing about these iterative consoles imo. Giving players a choice.

There was even a teaser.

Why is it hard for people to believe? The X has insane hardware.

Not even close.

Deleted member 2254 · May 2, 2018

Forza 7, for one, does it already, so it's definitely possible. But of course nobody believes the devs and prefer to post memes.

I would assume this is the case. There are 4k/60fps games on the Xbox One X (Overwatch is I think?) but none that look like SoTTR.

Equanimity · May 2, 2018

Gamer17 said:

No. RotTR runs at 1080p 60fps on Xbox One X which makes me doubt this statement.

Yes lol. They had a CG reveal trailer last week and in March they had a teaser for the CG reveal. It releases September 14th of this year. Actual gameplay footage coming at E3.

And how is Forza comparable to a game like Tomb Raider?

Well, snark aside. Comparing Forza 7 to Tomb Raider is indeed quite amusing.

You're comparing apples to oranges.

Red Alert · May 2, 2018

Native 4K ?

Fart Master · May 2, 2018

Dynamic or incredibly unstable 60 kinda like the definitive edition.

Besides the hair simulations Tomb Raider games to don't really utilize CPUs that much. If anything I'd expect the issue is on the gpu with all the expensive effects on screen.

Wolfenstein 2 and Battlefront 2 both run dynamic resolution that often sits at native 4K and are both 60 FPS titles. So no.

Sir Guts · May 2, 2018

YEAAAHHH!!! The X is a beast it can make that happen but not locked 60fps. The thing is I wonder if it's one mode 4k/60fps or some Resolution/performance modes.

The X1X can make it happen though and we saw it in other games.

yea if nixxes couldnt do it , no offence to edios montreal, but they for sure cant do it.

Pinballsummer · May 2, 2018

Interesting! 4K 60FPS for this game on X1X would be amazing.

Deleted member 22585 · May 2, 2018

I'm sure there will be different modes. "4k" 60fps with medium settings or 4k 30fps high settings for example.

Deleted member 10629 · May 2, 2018

I mean its possible, but world detail would not be as good or the game has 0 open areas.

The hubs are a massive cpu hog in Rise.

Dark_Chris · May 2, 2018

Hmmm if anything I expect 4k/30fps and 1080p/60fps modes. Definitely not 4k/60fps.

blastprocessor · May 2, 2018

Variable resolution l assume or 4kCB.

Ahasverus · May 2, 2018

All that tells me is that the game looks bad

That was a patched game, let's not be hasty.

It certainly seems that way. I would like to be surprised though.

Fart Master · May 2, 2018

A better comparison would Far Cry 5 to be honest. While it's not 60 it's locked 30 at 4K without drops, tons of simulations that should kill the jaguar and open world.

Tappin Brews · May 2, 2018

Ill be pleasantly surprised. Im leaning towards him meaning 4k mode or 60 fps mode, likely very much like Rise

There will probably be three different modes like ROTR. But this is the one they are advertising.

SmashN'Grab · May 2, 2018

The reason I'm doubtful is that in the case of other 4K/60fps games on Xbox One X (e.g. Forza 7, Overwatch) they were already targeting 1080p/60fps on the base console. Thereby meaning either resolution or framerate got a bump but not both. To see a game run at 1080p/30fps on the base console and then 4K/60fps on the new console would seem unrealistic.

nihilence · May 2, 2018

If stable, that will be amazing.

ROTR is one of the best looking games of the generation. I doubt it looks bad.

Bulby · May 2, 2018

So adaptive resolution and unlocked frame rate probably...
