If it ever sees release on PS4 at all.

Phil himself said it is timed, can't see it being clearer than that. Take off the blindfold for a moment.

 

[xxracerxx]

If it ever sees release on PS4 at all, that's the absolute earliest it would come.

You keep saying this....it is timed.

 

[Wanderer5]

Bleh, kind of hoping it around May-June ish.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Won't care about it next year, but want about the Pc version ? Is it supposed to come at the same time or before?

Can't watch the video atm

 

[aly]

The "Xbox Exclusive | Holiday 2015" verbiage sprinkled on any mention of this game invalidates is rumor.

That was my line of thinking. If it was longer than at least 6 months, then why bother clarifying the Holiday 2015 part?

 

[d00d3n]

Game is designed to fail. It's going against to many other big games this holiday. CoD, Battlefront, Fallout...Nope.

Is Tomb Raider reboot aiming for the same target demographic as those? Seems like Tomb Raider is targeting casuals who like stuff like Assassin's Creed (which will likely have a weak release this year, may be start of serious decline for the series)

This does not mean a PS4 version, could end up like Dead Rising 3.

 

[FullMetaltech]

I can wait. Alot of games to burn through this holiday going into the next. But im not sure how its gonna fair out against the rest of the holiday lineup. Its gonna get killed out there.

 

[Bousf]

I am okay with this, will still play it on my PS4 during the holidays next year.

Well it is SenjutsuSage...

This is Square Enix we're talking about . People seem to forget that they publish games. They can publish PS4/PC. So it's definitely coming to those platforms.

I don't think this is correct at all. Tomb Raider has massive, wide, mainstream appeal. This is inclusive to casuals, but not exclusive to.

Not sure how you failed to mention Persona 5, which I'll easily put 500 hours into, and is a more entertaining and interesting IP than the majority of the games on that list. But anyway, list wars is not what this thread is about. But I agree that Tomb Raider will get buried by Sony's 2016 lineup. Buried by Uncharted 4 hype alone, even.

 

[slavesnyder]

If it was console exclusive they would have said: "console exclusive".
Believe me.

 

[sense]

then why not say it is xbox exclusive for its lifetime like they did with titanfall? dead rising and ryse did not have a stigma surround whether it was exclusive or not and them repeatedly saying exclusive "holiday 2015"

 

[BUNTING1243]

yep and silent hills is being bought by microsoft. the know!

 

[Ascenion]

You keep saying this....it is timed.

I'm pretty sure timed doesn't guarantee a PS4 release.

 

[Jinfash]

With how heavily it's being pushed by MS, I can't believe people expected a shorter exclusivity period.

 

[alr1ght]

Maybe they got confused and meant fiscal year. Q4 2016 is April-June 2016.

 

[Averon]

Don't really understand why MS bothered with this game. My only guess is that they got timed exclusivity when they thought Uncharted 4 was still releasing this fall and they wanted an XB1 exclusive answer to that game.

 

[NullPointer]

I don't believe this. The $40 price doesn't smell right.

 

[Kayant]

This does not mean a PS4 version, could end up like Dead Rising 3.

Xbox exclusive + time period sounds like a play on "first on xbox" kinda of deal.

 

[Toki767]

With how heavily it's being pushed by MS, I can't believe people expected a shorter exclusivity period.

How heavily is it being pushed by Microsoft exactly? They're sending the game out to die with the date they picked.

 

[Chamber]

That's just because Phil doesn't want to hurt any feelings.

 

[De_Legend]

I'm pretty sure timed doesn't guarantee a PS4 release.

lol

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Sure. I can wait. Got enough to hold me over in the meantime.

 

[antitrop]

I don't believe it. They'll figure out some way to make it $60, even if that means including DLC.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I kinda want it sooner

 

[alr1ght]

Have they quietly killed the 360 version yet?

 

[BluenoseGames]

Have they quietly killed the 360 version yet?

Nope, that's still happening.

 

[dezzy8]

I can wait.

And possible some JRPG like Persona and Tales. Maybe Bend's game and some other exclusives as well.

This game is going to have a hard time finding a good window to be releases on PS4.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Looks like I won't be waiting then.

 

[d00d3n]

I don't think this is correct at all. Tomb Raider has massive, wide, mainstream appeal. This is inclusive to casuals, but not exclusive to.

Well, my point was that casuals are not really catered for this holiday season, except the usual creed stuff. I think the game will sell well on xbone one*, despite the competition from the titles that were mentioned. As a side note, I am a huge fan of the Tomb Raider reboot.

*although this may not be enough due to the low sales of Xbox one hardware

 

[Megatron]

With Uncharted 4 launching in Q1 2016, it would be stupid to launch it for the PS4 in March or April. On the other hand, releasing the game a year after the Xbox One release would kill a lot of its sales potential - even for $40. It would actually be better to launch it before Uncharted 4. February. That would still give MS the holiday exclusivity.

Microsoft probably paid for more than 3 month exclusivity tho.

 

[Asd202]

They were dead accurate about the dark souls 3 leak though...

And absolutely wrong about P.T

 

[Stallion Dan]

This is Square Enix we're talking about . People seem to forget that they publish games. They can publish PS4/PC. So it's definitely coming to those platforms.

...and Capcom do not publish games?

 

[Toki767]

February would be 4 months.

 

[bananafactory]

"Silent Hills"

"Billions "

Fucking lol


I don't care if they leaked Dark Souls 3, I'm not believing a thing that comes from these guys

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Hm, there should be a few months between this and Uncharted 4.
So a laste 2016 release is probably a good idea.

I understand now, sorry, I read your comment a little sideways.

 

[FHIZ]

Eh, if true, fine by me. I could get it this year as I own both consoles, but knowing that a release like Fallout 4 is going to suck up my time, I can wait.

 

[Kayant]

It does imply that the deal could be shorter given they are making such a deal about it being released in "Holiday 2015". Why otherwise highlight it so much?

 

[piccio_ssl]

...and Capcom do not publish games?

is Microsoft co-developer in this game?

 

[nib95]

According to my tag, it will have 6 months timed exclusivity. I guess we'll see. I wouldn't mind the game releasing later than that, at $40. At least that way they have more time to improve it, plus we may get added content, and it has the benefit of being out of the way of Uncharted 4.

 

[Heartfyre]

They've been so particular about saying it's exclusive for "Holiday 2015" that I'd be very, very surprised if it's not released on PS4 by the end of April. But it could always happen.

 

[bananafactory]

According to my tag, it will have 6 months timed exclusivity. I guess we'll see.

I still dont understand how you got that tag

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Hope MS' money is worth the lost goodwill.

I also can wait. I'm in no rush to play TR games. When it's good and cheap, maybe.
