Can you say how long it is timed for?

excuse me, but "exclusive for holiday 2015" means it will only be available on xbone *during holidays 2015* and anywhere else right after that. What's the big deal here ?

Already said this, and gonna say it again
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.
Gopher has been dead silent after people went back through all his posts and realized he had been teasing Project Beast (Bloodborne) for the past 6 months.
He would probably like to avoid that situation again.
I doubt that TR2013 is the most successful TR and Lara Croft is a name big enough to warrant development without money issues.
I'm not in communication with cboat, just to clarify...

Did you just compare DLC of a new IP to a 18 year old game, a game older than Xbox itself?

The only reason I don't like this news is because it's gonna result in a ton more Uncharted vs Tomb Raider fanboy wars than there would've been otherwise.
Also, MS would've announced this as an exclusive title back at E3 2014, looks like the deal was done recently, and seeing as this game was clearly a lock for multiplatform (as the definition edition was released earlier this year for the first game, and it sold better on the ps4) just looks like moneyhats to keep the game off of another platform, which I'm not a fan of at all.
yuuuuuss
So was Splinter Cell... and I didn't see the outrage when Conviction was announced to be exclusive to the 360.
Seriously, what is the big deal. If you want to play it so badly, then just get an Xbox One. Exactly what Microsoft wished for when it entered into this agreement with Square Enix.
But when the Destiny stuff happened, everyone said it was okay to have timed stuff.
Now this happens and everyone loses their minds?

Well at least we get it eventually.timedd |:<
Oh really now? That's great to hear! I haven't seen him around lately, so I assumed he was still miffed about that.Hrm? He was very upfront about teasing that. He didn't care. He just pops in now and again.
Exclusivity is something that sells consoles. Both companies want to sell consoles. That's the business, that's ok.
Ultimately though I think Square Enix could hurt the brand with this move by delaying a PS4 release/never releasing the game on PS4. All things equal the PS4 hardware base will be bigger than Xbox One and PS4 will have Uncharted 4. Some people do tend to keep grudges for stuff like this.
He has spoken. For not too long I hope.timedd |:<

Timed exclusive for an entire game is still huge. People make a big fuss about timed exclusive DLC. Hope this sets a fire under Sony's ass to actually do something about the PS4, but somehow I think our next update is going to be yet another stability update.

Square wanted to avoid facing Uncharted on PS4 and made a timed deal on the side with Microsoft. Win-Win for both parties.
Doesn't matter now, cboat gave us the 411.
