It debuted at the MS conference did it not? I don't remember seeing it at Sony's. Though it was 3am at that point and I was half asleep, so I might have missed it

First thing that popped into my head reading this news.Gotta fight that Uncharted. Seriously though, holy shit.
Let the tears flow....this thing is full on exclusive

I really don't understand what CD gets out of this.
Fine but it has that generic COD style cinematic awesome. There was nothing particularly TOMB RAIDER about it besides Lara and the title.
Come to me crying when Last Guardian or FF XV jumps ship. Those games look and feel unique.
That shanty-town level was such bull. I played the Uncharted soundtrack over it and suddenly it made sense.
So... Square Enix is just being an idiot after all. Oh well, nobody can fault Microsoft for securing their own Uncharted. They will be the only ones to reap the benefits of this deal.
Square is unrivaled in pissing of their customers.
NeoGaf in a nutshell:
PS4 exclusive: "Great move Sony, good on you guys *hugs ps4*
Xbox One exclusive: "Fuck M$$$$$$$, using shitloads of cash again to actually compete in a business world, I'm not buying it! (I own a Xbox One, or at least I'm saying that to seem less biased)."
Hey Square, go die in a fire you worthless POS company.
Way to make Tomb Raider exclusive to the Xbox One. Scared that you won't meet sales targets without Microsoft's money huh? Fuck you if you think I'm paying for this now after you just shat on your fanbase. That's going to hold up, right? Fucking making this exclusive to the Xbox One despite Tomb Raider's history on the Playstation? You're a bunch of clowns. I take it as a personal insult that you mouthbreathers are allowed to make decisions with regards to how franchises I used to really love are handled. Your asses got bailed out when you purchased Eidos because their president, like all of you, was a complete and utter mook. I make two better executives than your entire company combined in the toilet every morning before I go to work. I look forward to the day that your company crashes and burns into the fucking sea, only to be picked apart as salvage by western iOS developers, at which time the franchises you've already defiled with incompetence and negligence can be finally whored out to smartphones.
That's assuming you asshats don't beat your eventual western smartphone overlords to the punch, which you probably will because you give fuck all about the legacy of these franchises, to say nothing about just how little regard you hold towards the fans who made them what they where.
As the owner of a PS4 please go swallow glass
Never been more appropriate It's a joke if people didn't catch on btw.

That would have to be such a peculiar situation and one that doesn't logically follow from what I know about the respective parties. My guess is timed-exclusive 6 months to a year then release on PS4 and PC. It's the only scenario that makes sense.
50% of their user base? I bet ps4/ps3/pc is closer to 75%
Keighley says MS are not publishing
At first I was a little pissed, but then I remembered three things:
1) I thought the reboot was an okay game, that borrowed heavily from a much better game ( Uncharted).
2) Uncharted 4 should be releasing at or around the same time.
3) Sounds like it's timed exclusive. Which means it will likely hit later in spring or summer when I would actually have time to play it.
Sucks balls if you're a die hard and have the inverse feelings about TR and UC. So, sorry disappointed PS4 and PC gamers.
It debuted the Microsoft's conference, not Sony's.
Play Uncharted 4 and pretend Nathan has boobs.

Ahaha this is totally timed. Flubbing all around.

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.
MS publishing suggests complete exclusive
'exclusive for Holiday 2015' suggests timed exclusive
Maybe CD did a deal with MS to finance the game, giving them publishing rights on Xbox and a timed exclusivity window - and then can opt for self-publishing on PS4/PC after a few months? At least from a development point of view it shouldn't cost them much to port to PC/PS4 (PS3 might be too high a cost), and if MS are allowing them to retain their IP like with Sunset Overdrive/Ryse, then that might be an option for them?
"Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity and it's called Xbox 360," says Mattrick. "If you have zero access to the internet that is an offline device."

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.

Damn Geoff, since when do you work for Sony?
Good god, as someone who works in marketing/communications, this is terrible messaging. Pull it together, MS. Say what is actually going on.
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.
