| Intrinsic said: What I have a problem with is the unnecesary PR spin. The stupid way polygon "a gaming media outlet" is trying to justify this. Their attempt at throwing numbers and points at us as if we were all stupid or something. Where as, all they had to say was.... "Tomb Raider is targeting a fall 2015 release date. This literally will put it in Uncharted 4 territory (pun intended) on the PS4. That would no doubt cannibalize sales of the game on the PS4 since the games are very similar. So it taking development benefits from MS tieing the game to the XB1 for that period, then release it on the PS4 when the U4 craze has died down a little was a smart move" and what SE had to say instead of their own PR spin... "MS secured rights to have the game on their platform first, but make no mistake... we will also be bringing the best Tomb Raider we also made to all our other fans that supported us so well." That simple, not all this PR BS. Sometimes, the truth is actually just better. |
I agree with you. And of course the truth is great but MS isn't known to be very honest. 
There was conflicting statements from some Xbox executives about its exclusivity until Phil Spencer confirmed it was timed. Not sure why SE wasn't straightforward though, and couldn't just tell us that its a timed exclusive.
