Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Phil Spencer: "Tomb Raider Deal Still Same as Before...Timed"

I wonder who took it upon himself to dig up this Xbox Australia tweet yesterday (or whenever this whole thing started), some Xbox fan(boy) hoping for the game to be a full exclusive so he can brag about it I guess or some PS/PC fan(boy) worried that the game wouldn't come to his platform so that he wouldn't be able to rub it in the Xbox fans' faces?

Probably both.

That's because Microsoft were incredibly vague about it, they've damn near destroyed the definition of 'exclusive'.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

I locked the others because they were reporting on news from Months ago, but Ill keep this one open because it puts an end to the confusion people were having.

Thanks for being honest about it, Phil.



                            

The question is time exclusive like: Titanfall, DR3, Ryse or ME1, Bioshock?

From a business point of view both Sony and Microsoft invests in third party games aka money hat. But Sony is really clear about it. Transparency is always better while dealing with such conditions.

According to Crytek Ryse could come to PS4 at this point, they are just not focused on it. (I'd say they realised that the game wouldn't garner much interest on PS4, I'm sure it's a decent benchmark tool for PC but that's about it)

I'm pretty sure that SE is going to be extremely focused on bringing Tomb Raider to PS4 and PC, that's like several million units they'd lose out on and that MS would have to account for.

Yeah, I do expect this one to come to ps4 even though I am one of the few that didn't like the last tomb raider so I could careless about the game but there are a huge fanbase on ps4 and pc that are waiting for any news regarding to their platform of choice.  For them, I hope SE reconsider that fanbase.

Well it's not only for them, it's for SE themselves too, it would really alienate a ton (I'd even say the majority) of Tomb Raider fans if this didn't come to PS4 and PC, which is something they really don't want to do unless they plan on staying Xbox exclusive with the Tomb Raider series from now on, which would really depend on MS being willing to continue helping to fund the series, something I doubt they will after this entry.

A lot of XBox fans will be ashamed for their recent behavior.

I don't mean you guys, VGchartz's users are among the best, trust me.
