There's a petition to 'rescind the decision'...

Don't think that's gonna do anything. Wada and Toriyama probably already spent the check on a palace and lifesize Lightning sculpture, respectively.
How many times does this need to be explained? No, they arent.
Bloodborne is a new IP which wouldnt have been made had it not been for Sony approaching From for Next Gen. Bloodborne is like Scalebound.
TR is an established multiplat IP that would have been made and released for all platforms. MS bought exclusivity.
Bayonetta 2 was a much bigger deal though.
So who's publishing this? SE or MS, the thread title says SE but isn't it MS?
From three hours before news broke he died? Is he a fucking time traveler?
How the hell MS thought that this wouldnt cause a shitstorm is beyond me. Seeing all the negative reactions to this decision it just reinforces the image of MS being the evil coorperation together with EA.
Besides it doesnt even make financial sense....amazing times.
SE is free to do what they want, though limiting sales of one of your biggest games to the platform with the smallest number of sales does seem a bit self-limiting. And while missing out on the new TR game is a little disappointing, it's not enough of a 'must-play' title to make me go buy an Xbox One just to play it (the Halo collection, on the other hand...)
I fully expect this game to see release on other platforms at some point, probably through the release of a GOTY edition or something similar. I can wait.
Plot twist:
Hes the guy from Quantum Break.
Fuck all our fans, we love money. Got it.
Damn props to MS. They have bitchslapped Sony last year making an exclusive game with an iconic, exclusive team like insomniac make a game for them, Ted Price stating it's only possible on Xbox One. This year, they announce Tomb Raider, an iconic game that raised to power through Sony, exclusive fall 2015 release.
God damn.
Does this even make sense? "Gaming communities"?
Bloodborne is a new IP which wouldnt have been made had it not been for Sony approaching From for Next Gen.
Can you link me to the very first source that stated Robin Williams died? Because he died at 12:02pm. Not really hard for word to spread, before an official statement or article goes up...
I don't like talking about it. So I'm going to stop.Word broke around 6 PM, because the official statements and death report from the county police were accessible around then.
It wasn't about Robin Williams.
Also why the fuck are we talking about Robin Williams now
Saying Microsoft is pushing this deal to sell consoles isn't wrong, but to say it's a desperate move is just hilarious.Oh Speedy. Never change.
Set stuff straight post. Some of my tweets yesterday are not related to the xbox exclusive thing. My tough decision is not related.
My tough decision is not related.
Sony approached to sign an exclusivity deal with TR2 (Retro gamer n°78). Obviously it was a nail in the coffin to the Saturn, and Sony didn't want the system to revert it's fate.Wait wait wait wait, hold up.
Didn't somebody say Sony stole Tomb Raider 2 from Sega Saturn to effectively bury the system? We're glossing over that right? Yeah glossing, check.
I'm absolutely sure Miyazaki wouldn't have directed another Souls-like without Sony's "help".
I'm calling it now. Biggest disappointment of Gamescom. What a damn shame. I can't imagine, how much money MS dropped on their feet to secure this unholy deal.
It seems that maybe the devs asked Sony for help and Sony said nope (not expecting that Microsoft would make it exclusive)
Um, yea? When it comes to gaming communities like this Bayo is more beloved than TR. I mean, CoD sells 20 million copies but you don't see people singing it's praises. Bayo going Nintendo only was a much bigger deal since Bayo is huge in the gaming community.
And thats the reason why I can't see myself buying an Xbox One..
So people upset about this who do not have an Xbox, for plenty of different reasons no doubt, are being called fanboys for being upset they can't play the new tomb raider...makes complete sense /s
I'd call the people saying that fanboys more then those who are annoyed by this, which includes me.
Anyway, I'm still thinking this is timed exclusive until Feb or May. At least I hope so! If not spose I won't be playing it.
Don't think that's gonna do anything. Wada and Toriyama probably already spent the check on a palace and lifesize Lightning sculpture, respectively.
I would argue not actually.Sony should strike a deal with capcom having SFV exclusive, the reactions would be the same.
Here...let me FTFY
My comment was in reference to Insomniac's Sunset Overdrive not Tomb Raider.

I think that "not publishing Dark Soul 3 at least for a while" is part of the Bloodborne deal.
To be fair, every single time they nabbed a third party exclusive in recent memory, there's a negative shitstorm. Even in cases like Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall, when they were directly responsible for the continued existence of those games' development cycle.
This is a fairly big megaton. Will Sony now announce something that they weren't originally planning to (as in something they were saving for another time) in order to counter? Can they make that kind of change to thier press conference in a few hours time?
Well, there you go. This is how Microsoft competes. They pay publishers good money to remove games from other platforms while in development.
I would argue not actually.
SF4 was built on the fact that the Xbox 360 was in the lead and runs slightly better (see PS3lag etc.) but in recent years pretty much all fighting games minus Street Fighter have been on Ps3. Not only that Capcom follows the money and since the Ps4 is selling more than the Xbox One, I don't think it would surprise that many people if it only came out on the PS4.
Then again SFV is a ways away so we will have to see.
