Wow just got off of work and I see this! Complete meltdowns! Well I would like to give my opinion on it.

I don't think it was very smart to upset fans that pretty much made TR a household name for money. Then at the same time, this is a great move by Microsoft. They sure do know how to make those NDA's very hush hush! Even when PS did their exclusive deals, they didn't say it wasn't coming to other consoles. Still, it's a great move for Xbox nonetheless. However, now SE will have to deal with the backlash if it doesn't come to PS and/or PC.

I have to say that I didn't like that SE attempted to butter up PS/PC fans by saying the arcade title is coming to those said platforms. Guess what...it's coming to Xbox too! So that means nothing. Now here's the dumbest response I've heard in a month now. Tomb Raider: Definitive version is available on PS4! Well it's also available on Xbox 1. Tell me how this is a plus for PS/PC fans?! Dude probably should have kept his mouth close with those 2 irrelevant statements. We already know that "arcade" game is coming to other platforms and gamers already have the other games. We don't need you to tell us the PS4 version of TR is available. We have it!

This isn't me jumping on SE per se. It's more of me knocking down the PR statement they gave to soothe PC/PS gamers. Sometimes it's best not to say anything at all and let the fans calm down a bit. Well I hope it does well for Crystal Dynamics and the Xbox community. No need in shooting something down because it's not on the preferred console of choice.


I agree with you on all points except where you say that this is somehow a good move by MS.  I think the negativity will outweigh any benefit they see.  It IS great for Xbox fans who have already invested in an XB1...everyone else?  Not so much.  Tomb Raider is not going to move hardware.  ESPECIALLY when it is going up against a similar game on the PS4 launching near the same time (Uncharted)!

You are right about the comments though...saying "we have a game for you...it's the crappy arcade title" sounds WAY too close to "we have a console for offline gamers, it's called the 360"!  Same with "be happy with the old game we just re-did for you".  Yes, he most certainly should have just shut up a few sentences back.
