Forums - Gaming Discussion - Something is wrong between Square Enix and Microsoft ? Tomb Raider

Not sure sure if many people out there were really considering getting a Xbone only for Tomb Raider.   It's a good game, but not as compelling as GoW and Halo. Far from that honestly.

One day I will see this and not immediately think God of War before realising we are talking MS and it clearly means Gears, one day

I suspect there was a clause/pre-requisite in the deal that hasn't been met so they can reveal other releases.

Something along the lines of X1 sales not being high enough at this period of time or pre-orders not being high enough. Once they failed to meet that goal, SE were free to reveal the remaining platforms.



I think that the announcement was necessary. We all know that SFV is a "forever" deal and we had rumours that TR could be a deal of 2 or 3 months (bad for them). So clarifying that it's for a year, a significant time, it was the best thing to do.

PS4 has the sales and the games so it does not really matter.


You forgot the most important !

 

Then people should not care about Tomb Raider. PS4 has the sales and the games.

Sony fans stopped caring the moment Uncharted 4 was announced....

I hope Microsoft does a hostile takeover on SE and dismantle all their workforce and kill their franchises. That'd be a great way to tell them to f-off to them and Sony just for messing with them.


That's some salt right there,bruh.

Why wouldn't they want more good games?

They are getting "more good games" I'm talking about the wait. It's irrelevant due to U4 release. If anything it is a benefit because Sony only players can pick it up later with packed in DLC at a reduced price and still have IMO a better game in the mean time.

The games aren't even out yet, so excuse me if I don't take your opinion all that seriously. Trying to spin a one-year delay as a good thing is new to me though.

Strange Indeed. IMHO this the first and the last time that Square Enix allow a timed exclusivity for XB1. This deal was probably made early in the gen and SE probably thought that the XB1 would have way better sales. Or maybe they are not happy at all about MS marketing of ROTR

I think SE didn't want Tomb Raider to compete with Uncharted 4, so they thought that a timed exclusive with X1 is a better option. SE really didn't expect Sony to delay their biggest exclusive. 


Not their biggest but point made.

lol wow XBO users get the game a full year before PS4 users. That is crazy. If Sony didn't one-up MS every single time this wouldn't have happened.


Um. It makes sense for them to launch during Holiday's 2016. If they launched during the spring they would be going up against UC4. I doubt they are.allowed to release it during the winter (within 2 months of XB1 release). So it come down to.a.summer or fall release. They obviously see the fall being more profitable.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.
