The AO technique used and the quality of the implementation affects the shadowing's accuracy, and whether new shadows are formed when the level of occlusion is low. Less accurate effects could be rendered in real-time, though they wouldn't appear anywhere near as dramatic or thrilling.Īmbient Occlusion (AO) adds contact shadows where two surfaces or objects meet, and where an object blocks light from reaching another nearby game element. With this package highly realistic water effects and avalanches were created offline, recorded as Bink videos, and dynamically merged into real-time cutscenes to display visual effects that would be otherwise impossible to render. Of the many additions, Crystal Dynamics' use of Side Effects' Houdini software is the most impressive. Physically Based Rendering gives materials a natural look under all conditions, HDR and adaptive tone mapping create stunningly bright zone transitions and highlights, deferred lighting with localized Global Illumination increases the realism of lighting, volumetric lighting adds God Rays and other shafts of light, dynamic color grading gives artists control over the appearance of individual areas, reactive water enables dynamic water ripples game-wide, physically correct forward lighting enables translucencies to be accurately lit, particle lighting enables particles to be dynamically lit by light from their surroundings, and Subsurface Scattering and Backscattering increases the quality of lighting on characters' skin.
Don’t forget about the extended set of costumes and additional weapons.Crystal Dynamics' Foundation Engine returns for the sequel with upgrades galore. Also worth noting is the Endurance network mode, in which the player will have real people in his comrades, and with one team you must confront a whole army of monsters. It will become more and more difficult with each passing minute. The next challenge for Lara is a trip to Siberia, where the main character will have to confront wildlife and people, look for food and make weapons.Īmong other things, a mode called Lara’s Nightmare is available, in which you need to protect the Croft estate from hordes of bloodthirsty zombies. The lost city, fraught with many treasures, must be found before others can. She learns about an ancient secret, as a result of which she falls under the gun of a large corporation, known in criminal circles as “Trinity”. Lara is a very curious and courageous woman. In general, there is everything here to make the fans of Lara Croft feel truly happy. Well, I forgot to mention the obvious thing: the basic version of the game is also included in the package. All add-ons that have been released for this game, and the Season Pass together, are the Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration edition.
