Then who who made this deal? They even state the game was initially developed for only Steam. The game came out this August. Has been in development for a little over a year. Well after Spencer was promoted.
And also, from the perspective of SE, why on earth would you launch one of the biggest PlayStation franchises (Tomb Raider) on a competing console with timed exclusivity when there is significant amounts of data showing how handily these games sell better on PlayStation? And what kind of support did Microsoft give them? Sure as hell wasn't marketing considering they never had a bundle and barely had tv promotions around that time. |
The Turning Test is a ID@Xbox game so they got resources from MS to make a console version. Like you said it was planned only for PC. If it wasnt for ID@Xbox it wont even have a console release.
I dont work at Square so i cant answer those questions. According to them they should support. Maybe it was because they showed the reboot at their E3.

He said the deal I have. When the game was first unveiled, it was multiplatform. Now I'm not going to run around like others and tag him as a "hypocrite", but this is certainly hypocritical on his part. The link further details it. Whether he was the one to go through with it or not is irrelevant. His company is Microsoft, and they, like their competitors, engage in this activity. Spencer, himself, is getting heat because his tweets are a contradiction to Rise Of The Tomb Raider-esque scenarios, regardless of any potential involvement Mattrick may have had. |
Disagree with things his company has done in the past that he had no involvement in doesn't make his statement hyproactial. It just means he doesn't support the buisness practices MS has done before he became head of Xbox.

Well, next year COD (might not but works as a example) will be announced in Sony conference at E3 and will not mention the xbox version, yet everyone is expecting it to be multiplatform. Since RoTR was announced in e3 2014 and phil was ahead of xbox since march and no exclusive deal was announced, everyone was expecting a multiplatform tittle, so, we can very well assume that the deal was made after that. The truth is neither i or you really know how it was but you have to take into consideration that there is a big chance that you are not right. Honestly i don't care about his statements on this matter, just was pointing out a hole in your argument. |
Well MS did the same with Dead Rising 4. It wasnt announced to be timed at E3. Maybe they didn't want that type.of.negative press of Tomb Raider and DR4 o they waited especially for Tomb Raider that has a big.following.

Lol i didnt know a series thats known for getting late 80s to 90s like Forza is shit or a game like Gears of War 4 that got good reviews is shit. I must have missed something.
