I wonder how definitive edition sold on XB1 vs PS4.
So since the game is being published by Microsoft, and NOT Square Enix, does this mean that it will be a permanent Xbox console exclusive with PC version coming later down the line?
This would almost make sense....
The first TR did not sell as much as Square wanted it to, so maybe they didn't want to fund a sequel, and so MS saw this as a perfect opportunity to step in and pick up the game as it would help make up for UC not being on Xbox...
Why are you people so upset? PC I can understand but you mean to tell me Sony fans actually enjoyed that shoddy pseudo-pornographic Uncharted clone? It was a dirt simple corridor shooter with "LOL! 100 XP!!" type notifications. Are you serious? This isn't some awesome "spectacle fighter" (term coined by Zero Punctuation) like Bayonetta 2.
This is crap...
I have both systems, just so I can play exclusives, but there is no way I am buying this.
You have exclusives that are made in house.
You have exclusives, like the recent Sunset Overdrive, where the developer gets to keep control of their product, so staying on one system makes sense.
You have exclusives, like Bayonetta 2, where one of the big companies helps fund the game which would have never been made otherwise.
With all of these I have no problem buying the game and is the reason I own all the major systems.
Then you have crap like this where one company pays to keep the game off other systems. This is complete anti-consumer shit. This is not helping the gamer. This is not creating exciting content for your fans. This is not making me want to support your company by hiring the most talented artist in the industry and giving them a chance to wow me. This is 100% complete mafia bullshit of taking out all competition and leaving me one single choice.
fuck you I am not supporting this...
The fact that they're not being more clear on this situation is basically confirmation that it'll come to PC & PS4 eventually. The question is how long will it be exclusive for.Oh shit. What the hell is going on?
OK, I will say that it will be almost a necessity to own all consoles by the end of 2015. So much is being green lit, from a hungry MS to a Sony that is desperate to stay ahead and from a Nintendo who is still trying to work out how to move its brilliant IPs into mainstream.
Devs and publishers have worked out that genre fatigue is real and is expensive to ignore
Here's the deal:
TR Rising (XBOX ONE): 900p, 30fps
TR Rising: Definite Edition (PS4, PC): 1080p, 60fps
Just not yet announced.
Rise of the Tomb Raider, published by MS. 900p
Holiday 2015, only on Xbox360, XBone, PC
Rise of the Tomb Raider Sigma, published by SE, includes all DLC. 1080p
Spring 2016, only on PS3, PS4
(Japan exclusive)
WOW!!! the fanboyz huh? countdown for you begins 3...2....
How can people be mad at MS? They're incredibly behind on the console war and they needed to do something to help them to catch up.
XB1 owners will probably be thrilled.
It does suck for PC/PS4/PS3 owners, but you can't blame MS for this move. It's a good move, at least on paper.
Why are you people so upset? PC I can understand but you mean to tell me Sony fans actually enjoyed that shoddy pseudo-pornographic Uncharted clone?

But Amazon says it too..
Now nobody wants to take the child.
But in what world would that low number make sense for SE unless they were essentially loaning out the IP/brand or if the previous iteration had not done as well as they intended. It's clearly not the first scenario or it wasn't two months ago and it's not the second because it did 7 million units. And since moneyhats often involve compensating for units that would have been sold on other platforms -- what's in it for SE when the PS4 alone would have moved more units than Xbox One and PC combined? It's not a win-win like it was for Titanfall. The only scenario that makes to me is timed exclusivity making it a de facto exclusive and then release on PS4 and PC a year or more later.
Thrilled? Why would Xbox owners be thrilled that they're getting a game that was already announced for their system at E3?
The only thing they would be thrilled about is the fact that existing platforms will no longer be getting the game "at launch", and that's a shitty thing to be thrilled about.
I'm so confused
Is the exclusively on Xbox (with no Holiday 2015 attached) on the Xbox site an error too?
Now nobody wants to take the child.
His Xbox talks alot.
Yeah it's not salt. It's megaton Morton's ionized table salt and rapidly approaching 50 pages of it. It's Salt Lake City, the Dead Sea, pure sodium being struck by fanboy tears and exploding into butthurt.
I don't know why people focus on "Sony fans".
As a Tomb Raider fan I'm not happy with this decision because it's going to cripple the series sales, it was going to become huge hit after the reboot, but by making the sequel exclusive and shunning away the biggest fanbase it's only going to bite them in the ass. It's a step back, it pisses of fans who own PS4 and PCs and they will lose interest in the series (especially the casual fans).
When FFXIII was announced for X360 I was happy because it meant more people were going to play the game, on the other hand RoTR not being on PS4/PC means less people are going to play the game.
It's not about being a fan of this or that console, it's about being a fan of the franchise, there's a reason a lot of people are angry over all the Tomb Raider fansites, especially when they bought the Definitive Version to support the sequel.
It was actually a really awesome game.
Can't say I'm much of a fan of Keighley after seeing how he treated AngryJoe. I'm not a fan of AngryJoe either, but I think Keighley was out of line. Having said that, I really appreciate him digging around like this, trying to get the truth out there. I'm starting to doubt that this is anything other than timed, because if it was 100% xbox exclusive, why wouldn't the xbox team be shouting it out from the rooftops?
By the way, was there any announcement about "Rise of Tomb Raider" was multiplatforms?
No PS4 no buy, even though I have Xbox One.
stupid move.
SQEX was "not satisfied by the failed sales targets" for Tomb Raider, right? So why X1 exclusive now?
Point is: they are not doing this for "Xb1 owners". They do this to get more users buy a XB1, expecially in relation to people who do not yet have a next-gen system.
I really don't understand what CD gets out of this.
