Check Out AMD's TressFX Hair Tech In Tomb Raider

Posted on Monday, March 4 @ 10:10:19 Eastern by Jessica_Vazquez


PC gamers can once again tout the fact that their platform trumps the competition, as AMD’s TressFX hair tech in Tomb Raider is evidence to this fact. Check out the clip above to see it in action.

In the console versions, Lara's hair is clumped together in an unrealistic ponytail, but as you can see above, the improved PC version of the game allows players to see each strand of hair move independently. It's not perfect, but it sure is a whole lot more impressive than the alternative.

Tomb Raider launches tomorrow for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Our review is already up, so be sure to give it a read right here.

    It is all over the place but I guess it's better than hair that looks like made out of cement.

    I really enjoy the physics but her hair doesn't seem to change the way it reacts much when it gets wet which makes it seem a bit unbelievable. Still cool and better than cement hair.

    Exactly. Tech is one thing, context is another.

    Cool tech demo but for me it feels a little distracting...it's very bouncy and the fact that it doesn't get wet kind of puts a damper on it for me (haha). Watching her walk through a waterfall and come out with super bouncy dry hair irks me more than fairly rigid hair for whatever reason. Still, it does seem to help make action sequences a bit more dynamic. Maybe if were toned down just a hair...two in a row.

    Just as soon as the new graphics card shows up with my steam code I'll be playing it (it should be tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest). I do need to go download the latest drivers though, I think I'll do that now.

    Without getting into details, does that dude who grabs Lara get any references later in the game? I can't help but believe he really did want to help her.
