Seems as if people are avoiding the quote from Phil Spencer

Quote >>>>>>*And we will definitely be spending money on developing the game* <<<<<<

Sony are helping to make SF5 but so is MS with Tomb Raider. I feel as if people are ignoring the quote on purpose. I even placed the link on my OP stating what Phil said..

Crazy thing aint it.

We first had info that Rise of TR was coming, but then that it would be holiday exclusive. And to this day we still don't have a clear answer from MS or CD or SE... MS says they don't own the IP, won't comment on the duration and they won't talk about the other plats because it isn't their IP. CD/SE say they can't say anything about it because of the agreement (so MS is hiding out and making CD/SE the target). And TR is bigger on Sony console.

With SF V he have Ono saying they didn't had the money to make a good SF V. Sony stepped in and from the first official announcement it was said exclusive to PS4 and PC. Very clear and SF is also bigger in Sony.

If you can't see the difference, that says more about your anti-Sony position than anything else.

Sony is actually developing the game with capcom. Its coming to PC also. Whereas tomb raider is in different position.

What is there to avoid with that quote?

They spent money=/=Square needs the money=/=Tomb Raider will be delayed til 2059.

their is no difference between this deal with sf5 and tr, and if anyone actually believes that to be then u are a fanboy of that system , pure and simple. square-enix was not happy with the sales of tomb raider reboot which is a stated fact, cant argue that even if u wanted too. so they released a definitive edition and that helped it finally be a success in square-enix's eyes , which ( cd ) themselves even said a stated fact. both sony and ms are helping develope the games, ms paying around 50% i wager and sony paying probably all of it that is the only difference between the deals. ms also stated many many many damn times, phil himself said as well that the deal with tomb raider is like the ones they made with ryse son of rome and dead rising 3, u can look that up if u dont believe me.

so in another words, if the game does come out on another system it will be on pc, just like ryse and dr3. the only possible way i can see tomb raider hitting a ps system is if square-enix pulls a ea and pays ms for the publishing rights, ( like ea did to get mass effect 1 on a ps system , which is a stated fact )....

IF the quote was realavent maybe people wouldn't be ingnoring it. Their money goes towards every aspect of the game, including Squares profits. That dosn't prove the game wouldn't be made with out their money, nore does it prove that it would have been released as a mobile only game......

You care to explain how "We didn't make as much money on the last one as we would have liked" and "We don't have the resources to make a next-gen fighter" are the same?

I don't agree with Azzanation's arguement that TR wouldn't have happened without MS, but that article raises a point. No the situations regarding SFV and ROTTR are not the same, but it doesn't change the fact that MS helped to fund the game which led to timed exclusivity.  Square Enix wanted to maximize profits, and how do you do that? You find someone who will chip in a few bucks, and AFAIK they appear to be doing the same thing with the FFVII remake and all signs point to it being a timed exclusive. That shouldn't surprise anyone given it's the same publisher. 


Both Sony and Microsoft are paying for parts of these games in one way or another by buying exclusivity (timed or otherwise). But the nature of the deals is very different.

Microsoft is paying for the Xbox version of TR to come out first.

Sony is paying for the PS4 version of SFV to exsist.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Translation: "And we will definitely be spending money to cover Crystal Dynamic's development costs even though Square Enix clearly has more than enough money to do that themselves."
