A closer look at Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition

By Ryan Fleming January 26, 2014

On Tuesday, January 28, Crystal Dynamics’ Tomb Raider reboot from 2013 will return, this time on the next-gen systems. We’ll be discussing the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition next week in more detail, but for now here’s a closer look at the game itself in its new 1080p glory.

Crystal Dynamics has stated that the game is more than just an HD gloss. The developer rebuilt this game from the ground up to run more smoothly on the next-gen consoles. The game on current-gen was one of the best of 2013. If you are still on the fence, the next-gen version should be enough to push you over.

If you can’t wait to play Square Enix’s long-awaited JRPG Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Media Molecule has a temporary solution.

One such player has embraced the spirit of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake and re-created a battle from the game using Dreams.

Twitter user Julian aka Figburn shared a clip that’s a little over a minute long and it features an impressively deep gameplay sequence playing out in Dreams. The clip is all combat and features Cloud, Tifa, and Barret facing off against the Air Buster boss.
