The question is, which platforms will it come to in the future? PC most definitely, but will it come to PS4?


Probaly not. I think MS will publish the game and pay for the development. My guess is xbox then pc a year later.

I really doubt they did that. i belive They were scared of Uncharted and instead of delaying their game they got Microsoft into giving them a pointless (to Microsoft) exclusivity deal.

They'll release at the same time as uncharted, go relatively unaffected by uncharted, pocket Microsoft's cash, and than release it later on the PS3/PS4/PC safe from uncharted.

They know if they dont release on the PS4, they will be losing a sizable chunk of the market, they are not stupid espcially now that the PS4 is outselling the Xbox one 2:1. All past Tomb Raider sold more on the PS4 anyway even when the market share was even between them, but going toe to toe with Uncharted is something they felt they had to avoid at all cost. Both Uncharted 2 and 3 sold 7million+ copies a piece on one console by 2013. Tomb Raider clocked 6.5 million on PS3, PC, and Xbox one. This Crap with MS just helps them save face.

didnt phil already say that


Nobody actually said "this game is timed".

 

what Phill said was "the franchise/ip is timed" which means that Rise of tomb raider could be exclusive but a(lets say) "Tomb raider 3" don't.

No, he said the deal was timed. How can people really expect they bought the entire IP for a set period of time when SE is releasing another TR game on both PC and PS4 next year

he said the deal had a time limit "Yes, the deal has a duration. I didn't buy it. I don't own the franchise."



Just as planned, common sense like i said



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

Too little, too late CD.

That's what I'm thinking too. MS usually at least makes sure that their 3rd party exclusives are console exclusives. We've seen it before with Dead Rising 3, Ryse, Mass Effect, The Last Remnant and several other games. Xbox first, PC later, but no PS release (ME1 only made it to PS 5 years later when the whole trilogy was released on PS3).

We've seen plenty of timed exclusives for Xbox make it to Playstation. Oblivion, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock, Lost Planet, Eternal Sonata, Deadly Premonition, Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean and so on. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Again, I had no doubt in my mind it was a timed exclusive.
