It doesn't change much to warrant it either. It isn't worth the money from a consumer and business perspective. I'm sure Square Enix and the consumer see this and that's why they aren't focusing on a PC version of it. Consoles only recieved this updated version because of lack of platform backwards compatibility and the fact the graphics gap was much wider (so they could use the graphics upgrade as a selling point - something that wouldn't work with PC gamers considering the above!). The PC playerbase are more demanding than the console counterpart and unless the 'Definitive' features were added as a FREE update, I highly doubt that the majority of owners of the current PC edition would feel like shelling out for a few visual features, especially considering the nature of PC (where we should've originally had these visual features to begin with!). There's minor visual differences, some are better, some are worse (the new Lara model). Why waste the money on it? PC version is as close to the 'Definitive Edition' as it gets. … and yes, it is also just as likely that they leave the game as is and just continue with the sequel officially RotTR will be coming out early 2016 for PC and Holiday (late) 2016 for the PS4. However I found out that the PC version has the same model as the original 360 and PS3 versions, while the newer definitive edition added a new model in (among other changes). it came out in 2014 and they could easily release it as an update to the existing game, which is what The Definitive Edition is, an update to the original release version.Ĭapcom just recently released console exclusive DLC for a game that was a few years old (Resident Evil 5) for the pc (They made it a $15 addon for the existing pc game), Resident Evil 4 got a updated version, Metro One and Two both got polished updates after they came out, same is true of The Witcher 1 and 2, they both got reworked, Sleeping Dogs itself got a Definitive Edition (also with updated visuals who's publisher like Tomb Raider is also Square Enix), Knights of the Old Republic 2 just recently had a major update (which was free in its case),and list goes on and on… the question will be if the company will want to put up the resources to make this a reality. So with Rise of the Tomb Raider hitting PC very soon, I wanted to go back and finish (yes finish, never finished the game) the first Tomb Raider game (reboot). While retaining the exact core gameplay experience, the Definitive Edition teams have managed to spit polish. Crystal Dynamics (and the associated teams at Nixxes and United Front) have taken a great game, turned the graphics up to eleven, and then added even more shinies on top. Tomb Raider: The Definitive Edition is not an old game. Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is more of a rebuild than a port.
