Ok... who's the chucklefuck (necronzero) who responded to that tweet? That seems like it was definitely about Robin William's death, and not some console war shit.

Geoff writes it like it's a timed exclusive by saying "for holiday 2015". While Microsoft acts like it's a full exclusive.
It remains to be seen whether or not it's a full exclusive.
My thoughts exactly.
Why? Sure they are the developers but what would anybody lower than either the studio founder or president be involved in deals like these? They should have been given a heads-up, but it's not surprising they weren't. And he might be responding to reactions, as well.
Only one of the platforms will be able to play both. There's absolutely no way this isn't timed.

You're really connecting some dots there, aren't you?
And another plot twist, this is entertaining as fuck.
It's official. This is a fanboy meltdown.
That's such a vague tweet. It could be about anything.
Seems likely. How could they not know? They released a statement on their blog, didn't they?

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Why are we so hypocrite about this stuff.
Okay this isn't a standard or wise thing to do. But Sony and Microsoft both have been doing this for years. Now some may argue wait, Sony doesn't moneyhatt for full exclusivity. But they do for exclusive content. We have been seeing this for years, they get extra 1hr playtime for AC, WatchDog, exclusive content for Destiny.
What I am trying to say is, for people who think this is morally wrong and shit. And don't want to support. Then stop buying all those games and not just Tomb Raider. You might think I am comparing apple to oranges but if you see the bigger picture I really am not. If Sony had that much cash, they would be doing the same practice. So its not cool to think well 1hr extra content and some timed exclusive content is great but the entire game is not.
So either you are okay with the whole thing, in which case, that fine. Or you don't support this kind of crap at all. That's also fine, but then stop buying COD, AC, Destiny, etc. and games like that which has exclusive features for each console. And you know if you do that, then you have my respect. But enough with the double standard people.

Or tweet that he should have used the money to get back into Insomniac's good graces

Cant be, since that tweet was tweeted in the morning. Could be something else, who knows.

He sounds thrilled.
This put the game on the map for many gamers...those who have an xbox (who are their market) are happy and have visibility. Wonder what studies have been done on this sort of thing.

Oh my. It doesn't really read like he's too stoked.

The only way that happens
and it won't because it's probably not coming out in 2015

What is with this terrible analogy being drawn? It's been drawn more than once now.
Bloodborne is a SCEJ co-developed SCE published SCE owned new IP, always announced as an exclusive title. It is not a sequel to a multiplatform reboot, from a multiplatform franchise, published by a third party publisher, made by a third party developer, owned by a third party publisher, formerly announced for multiple platforms.

Tweet was posted before Robin Williams news broke.
Also, it's absolutely bizarre that I'm using the death of Robin Williams to assist in building a timeline of events.

based on his other tweets no it's really only the one way
"Mission accomplished I guess"
He sounds thrilled.
It feels like he got the news from SQEX to stop development on PS4/3/PC versions and they'd announce at Gamescom that RoTR was now an Xbox exclusive and he was just like 'Fucking great, now I'm gonna get death threats.'
He knew Robin Williams died two hours before the media?
How'd he pull that shit off, exactly?
Hahahaha, I love this account.

You can celebrate the salt. People lost their shit over Bayonetta 2. FF 13. Those kind of people's reactions are fun to witness. Memes have come out of this process.

KH3 and FFXV could be PS4 exclusive...in Japan again.
Halo will be the ultimate game from their portfolio to compete with Sony's Uncharted, but considering that TR has good amount of followers on both PC and PS3, it will definitely help in moving bundles.
Plot thickens.
Crazy if true.

If they're working on it now, they're not stopping development on them. They'll just hold them back for later/prioritize the Xbox versions.
But ya, I bet he's totally not thrilled with having to deal with Twitter nonsense right now, especially since they bungled the message so badly
How do you know that the tweet is related to this announcement?
You do know that's a parody account, right?

Huh? My timestamp says 3pm yesterday, which is right about when news of Robin Williams' death broke out.

"Only $800"
You may wipe your ass with $100 bills but don't act like it's totally reasonable and affordable for everyone to own all of the consoles

Your edit doesn't make sense either.
The speed of this salt-train is astonishing cant wait for the Sony presser and see the reactions.

No is not, would be comparable if the game was Dark Souls 3 instead of Bloodborne.

No it wasn't. That news broke after I got home from work, so much later. Try 5-6 PM.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Ryse will NEVER be on PS4. That game was published and funded by MS.
It is getting a PC release though.
Yes, although my understanding is that parody usually implies humour.

No, it it must be SALT! That is the correct fanboy response, lol... You can understand people being upset with this, that is not salt, but hey, let the warriors gloat..
