It sounds like timed exclusive the more and more you read into it.
I'm deadly serious. People always complain about COD/Gears style gameplay and here they are bemoaning the loss of another generic cover/corridor shooter as if it's some avant garde indie game darling
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 Platinum Games produced "spectacle fighter" (term coined by Zero Punctuation) like Bayonetta 2.
Lmao, what a mess if anot announcement
Exactly. They would come out and clear the air if they didn't just want to ride the consumer confusion.
Why would MS fans be thrilled? "You know that game you were getting, you're still getting it". I really don't mind exclusives but when you wait this late to make a deal, after the game has been announced for other systems it is pretty hard not to see it as Microsoft taking the game away from PlayStation/ PC players. If you only have one system and you were looking forward to TR Microsoft just screwed you over. Obviously they did it for the reasons anyone would want a game to be exclusive, and I don't blame them for wanting to be exclusive, but figure that out before you reveal the game. At least with TF they were vague enough that they could pretend it was never coming to PS4.
Yeah, I don't get this logic either. MS fans gain nothing from this. The only way it would be a "win", is if you are petty enough to feel good about getting something others can't.
Don't think there is a real comparison possible here. Tomb Raider has always been on the Playstation brand.
Fucksake. I hadn't played a Tomb Raider game since Tomb Raider II, but I really enjoyed playing the TR2013: Definitive Edition on my PS4 earlier this year. One of the few games I was looking forward to and it's Xbone exclusive ;_;
Ahaha this is totally timed. Flubbing all around.
lol, this post is just fanboy drivel.
.
The confusion is probably on purpose. They want people to think Xbox when they talk about this new Tomb Raider. Even if it is timed exclusive, they don't want PS4 in the discussion at all.
MS publishing suggests complete exclusive
lol, this post is just fanboy drivel.
.
I get what you're saying, but we need to be open here and simply state that Tomb Raider has always been a multiplatform game.
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...
Damn Geoff, since when do you work for Sony?
Please. Greenberg is the biggest bullshitter in the industry. Him saying that Keighley is wrong is as good as a confirmation.
It sounds like the "timed exclusive but we have a deal where no one was so until X date" kind of deal.
Which has happened numerous times... Without crazy epic threads like this.. You guys bored or something? It's SE's deal to make.. You vote with your wallet.
Why didn't they announce this exclusivity when the game was revealed at E3?
Hand in your membership.
Yeah, I don't get this logic either. MS fans gain nothing from this. The only way it would be a "win", is if you are petty enough to feel good about getting something others can't. I already own an X1, and as such I was always going to get this game. I don't see why this news is anything to be thrilled about. *shrugs*

This is appropriate.
It might be shitty, but anything to 'one-up' the PS4 owners is a thrill right now for XB1 owners.
Like it or not, people are that way in a console war. It's been that way since the beginning of the industry.
?? So he's straight up lying about his company? Okay
I really wish Final fantasy and KH2 went xbox exclusive. Don't care about those games aty all but the internet would burn...and it would be fun to watch.
This seems relevant again somehow:
I don't know how much the rest of you know about gaming culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Hollywood where you can become successful by being an ***hole. If you screw someone over in gaming, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the PlayStation public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Rise of the Tomb Raider for Xbox One, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.
Square, publicly apologize and announce Rise of the Tomb Raider for PS4 or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Geoff full of shit again.

Let the tears flow....this thing is full on exclusive
Edit- This is business. Square/Crystal is hemorrhaging money. They need the cash infusion. Its as simple as that. Just look at how Crytek is doing. You don't want the game don't buy it.
Microsoft not actually publishing.
?? So he's straight up lying about his company? Okay
It's such a mess of a reveal.
Instead of becoming the megaton drop, it became a poison that pretty much made Crystal Dynamics and SE shoot up 50 ranks in 'hated devs,'
And now 5 kinds of mixed messaging on its exclusivity status.

how do you vote with your wallet when you can't buy it on other consoles
