So much salt. This just proves how third party games are very important despite how fans try to downplay them (compared to exclusives). This also shows that Microsoft won't be passive this gen which is great for competition.


By moneyhatting a mediocre looking entry in a declining series? Paying for a game that almost nobody talked about at E3 simply not to be on other consoles? That's a wise use of money, lmao. It's like Microsoft refuses to learn.

I'm pissed, but that is a bitter ass comment. The series had a very successful reboot with Origins both critically and commercially... I dont see how you can say this new entry looks mediocre when we've only seen a CG teaser trailer, the very same reason why it wasnt a huge talking point back in June.

Eh, I'm not bitter, I haven't bought a TR since the 90s. I played a little of the last one on PC, and wasn't impressed. I admit I didn't give it a whole lot of a chance, but it seemed like a QTE fest, which wasn't what I remembered liking about TR.

What I think is stupid is :

Microsoft choice A : Don't moneyhat TR, spend that $XXM on first party development instead, or spend it towards giving every new XB1 owner 3 or 6 months free XBLG, or any number of SMART things.

Microsoft choice B : Moneyhat TR, with the sole benefit being keeping a game not known for selling well OFF of other platforms?

Xbox owners would have gotten the game either way, so this is ... useless? IMHO yes, this is useless and wasteful (and worst of all, not even an effective choice). At least Titanfall got some buzz and resulted in a bump after the biggest hype train in gaming history. TR? Wow. Just ... wow.
