We mentioned previously that Xbox One exhibits some strange pixelated artefacts in a number of scenes along with plenty of shimmering. A closer look at the differences between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions of Rise of the Tomb Raider.Ĭuriously, while image quality is worse on the whole, there are some instances where component elements compare favourably against Xbox One. Also, outside of a few unique instances, we're looking at very low levels of texture filtering. Beyond that, it would appear that the colour depth has been reduced resulting in noticeable color banding in numerous scenes. Xbox 360 renders the game at 1280x720 with a pass of FXAA producing results in line with the last game on the same console - a world apart from the most richly detailed 1080p Xbox One title. It doesn't feel like an afterthought at all - it's a project that has received a lot of care and attention.įirst off, the most obvious difference comes from image quality. It lacks much of the visual panache of the next-gen version, but it's still an attractive title and a worthy sequel. This is the same game that we enjoyed on Xbox One with nips and tucks made in all of the expected places. This time we have the talented bunch at Nixxes taking point on the Xbox 360 port and the results are remarkable. However, with Rise of the Tomb Raider, the situation is different. Go back a generation further and we even saw a port of Tomb Raider Underworld make an appearance on PlayStation 2. We saw this last year with ports of games such as Shadow of Mordor, Far Cry 4, and Dragon Age Inquisition - all of which were significantly pared back next to their next-gen siblings. Yet, traditionally, the quality of these ports tends to take a dive as time passes. Even once a new generation is well under way, there is still be money to be made on older consoles. Of course, ports to last generation platforms are nothing new. On Xbox 360, it's a remarkable piece of work. There may well be eight long years separating the two generations of Xbox, yet Rise of the Tomb Raider manages to work beautifully on both platforms. Lara Croft's latest adventure has arrived day and date on two Xbox consoles and the results are far more impressive than we ever imagined.
When Microsoft announced an exclusivity deal for Rise of the Tomb Raider, we were surprised to learn that such an important game shipping in late 2015 would receive a port to the ageing Xbox 360 - yet here we are.
