Thanks for screwing up TR, MS!!

The SquareEnix Giveth, the SquareEnix taketh away again. MS offered them a bag of cash for this deal, Square was the ones who signed off on it, I'm sure the 3 console makers probably offer out amounts to publishers for some content deals or exclusivity deal, Square just happened to choose a little poorly in hindsight with this game.

I'm still under the impression that the game will still sell decent numbers on the PS4 though because of the deal, I think people might just buy it out of "spite" as a sort of... "fuck you xbox fans, we got your exclusive" if ya get me?

If it does come out on PS4, I'm definitely waiting until it's $20-$25, since it will have already been out for a year elsewhere. Timed exclusive games are good for no one, imo.

This is a very misleading thread title.

But i believe its still coming. Too much of a market not to release it at all even as a download only game. I mean by the time it comes along there has to be what? 50M people with a PS4? even if it bombs it will still do 1M+ globally. Thats a lot of money to make from something that is no more than a port. They probably hsve alresdy finished making the port anyways.

Just csmt say anything yet until after the year is up.

They killed the franchise already, no need to put it on Ps4, we already played the superior version of it aka Uncharted 4.

You know it was coming, Square Enix must be freaking out about their decisions to go Xbox Exclusive.

I know this might be a foreign concept but maybe people want to play TR because its a good game.  Who cares how good UC4 is if TR is a good game that gives a difference experience than I am sure a person who loves to play games would be more than happy to play it.

I certainly planned to buy it used out of spite. If you want to make me wait a year then I have no problem waiting an extra 2 weeks to make sure you don't get paid on the purchase.

Umm...that's where your sales are going to be though.

Yeah, can see a lot of people doing similar things just as a negative reaction to the choice by SquareEnix to effectively bury the reboot of Tomb Raider, which was sad because it had been years of bad Tomb Raider games and I've heard good things about the first title in this Reboot... My PS3 copy is still wrapped in plastic... one day I'll open it and play it, I promise this to myself >.>

I would imagine their silence is likely due to contractual obligations? I mean, just getting a straight word ABOUT the fact it was timed exclusive, what the estimated duration would be, etc, took significantly longer than it would have without a bit of enforced hush. So wouldn't really be surprised if part of the deal means that Square Enix has to wait until x date to even begin saying 'So, that PLAYSTATION 4 port of RotTR is coming! Y'know, the version for PLAYSTATION 4. It's still coming guys! On PLAYSTATION 4.' 'Why are you yelling everytime you say-?" "So the PLAYSTATION 4 owners will know it's coming to the PLAYSTATION 4!!!'

That being said, curious about both when they can start talking about it, and how much further in advance of that date they'll set the release date. =P

Also, I demand a Victor Sullivan team up DLC as tribute for waiting. Get on it.

Are gamers still waiting to play this gem?

Since everyone claims they own PCs on this site and that theres no need to buy a XB1, why don't they just purchase it on Steam or Win10 store? Its cheap now.

I'd rather play it on console, and it would also be impossible to buy used on PC.
