Rise of the Tomb Raider Xbox 360 vs Xbox One Graphics Comparison

Rise of the Tomb Raider is Microsoft's big exclusive for November 2015 - and it's out on Xbox One *and* Xbox 360. And guess what - the last-gen version is excellent! John investigates.

To be fair it looks like one of the best looking Xbox 360 games I have ever seen! Bloody incredible for such an old system, unlike BO3 which on last gen looks worse than the original Black Ops.

[CampionBun]

As an Xbox 360 game this doesn't actually look that bad!

[hakim]

How the fuck do they manage to get that much from the 7th gen consoles ?!

[nghtmare]

The last proper last-gen port. By the time this was released I think the Xbox 360 had just turned ten years old. The PS3 and Xbox 360 era was so much better than the current generation mess that we have now.

[Gamachy]

By watching this video I was thinking "Why not having this game on Nintendo Switch?" It make perfect sense to port the X360 version with some improvement to the Nintendo Switch.

[Jenkins]

Xbox One version is clearly better, but the 360 version is still very impressive considering how old the hardware is.

[BlackAera]

That's actually very impressive that the game looks that good on 360.

Edit: LOL NO INPUT LAG ON 360!!

[conoraq]

Very impressive port. The visual difference between the versions reminds me more of the Gamecube and PS2 releases of Resident Evil 4 rather than a generational leap.

[Demonicide]

Gotta admit it's really impressive !

[zakixbox]

10 years old hardware running such an intensive game! Wow

[bmdshred]

This is amazing. The 360 is 2005. No pc lasts that long or could look this good on 10 year old system. Game is beautiful on Xbox one and the fact it looks that good on 360 is just stunning.

I just finished this game on Xbox 360. Some scenes are absolutely breathtaking for the hardware, yet other scenes look like an early 6th gen game.

[ethansequeira]

at least this looks like a proper port. black ops3 looks half arsed comparatively.

[rexthesheep]

Wow! I was thinking of waiting for the PC version, but it might be worth moving my Xbox 360 to my desk and getting the 360 version!

[RiasatSalminSami]

Wow John sounds so young in this video. Time sure flies.

[WiseGuy]

Yes, the hardware in the 360 is 10 years old but you have to remember, the hardware in the XB1 and even the PS4 is, for the most part, from 2010 and 2011. They weren't the bleeding edge when they released and the hardware choices they went with weren't top notch even when that hardware released for PC. The GPU's in both the XB1 and PS4 are weaker then a GTX 680. The CPU's in both the XB1 and PS4 are weaker then all i7's, all i5's, and even all i3's. Again, I'm not saying they're bad systems but they aren't sporting hardware that's industry leading and they were dated by several years at launch (kind of like Wii U just not as bad).

This is unlike 360 and PS3 which actually were the bleeding edge during that time. Heck, getting a computer with an Intel dual core CPU back then was pretty hot stuff back then. Both 360 and PS3 were sporting high end Power PC CPU's with more cores then industry leading computers and had GPU's in them that were the bleeding edge for the time.

[DirectorAntify]

That's a very well optimized game...

[gureguru]

nixxes. the guys worked on the 360 and PS4 versions of the game. no input lag.

crystal dynamics. worked on the xbone ver. has input freaking lag to this day. wow mate

[AstralFrost]
