Why is tomb raider news coming back up again? Its giving me deja vu. We literally had these same exact arguments 4 months ago over the same statements (except people refused to believe MSFT was publishing)


Oh that's funny because I just came here to ask about Tomb Raider xD I think you should leave the room Jay, this might upset you! jkjk

But I really do have a question, if MSFT is publishing the game, does that mean that it has exclusive rights over that specific game meaning it can only appear on PC and Xbox consoles? Dead Rising 3 never showed up on the PS4 and I assume they had a similar deal. Just curious because my friend is in *I hate Microsoft for ruining Tomb Raider for me* mode :P


Not necessarily.  It may or may not be.  Typically games published by Sony or Microsoft stays exclusive unless the owner of the IP works around it.  However its already been stated that the deal has a duration so it could go to PS4 as well.  Then on another note Microsoft said the deal was similar to Dead Rising 3 which means Xbox/PC.  So in the end its an unknown, could go either way


Could that possibly mean that Microsoft has exclusivity for the duration of this games lifespan, meaning the next Tomb Raider game is fair game?

Anyway, moving away from that for a moment. I just put in Titanfall for the first time in a while and I see some new updates that make me wanna play the game again if only for the new achievements. I'm quite surprised how little people play this game considering the hype it got.

I think that you guys would rather us all work together

I legitimately believe we dont all work together, more so you all just do and demand.  I have to agree with somebody that told me that im tired of the politics of this site.  Ive asked you and other mods publicly  and i believe privately as well to pm me if you have an issue and i would really appreciate that, but if we are all working together then id like you guys to respect that instead of drawing attention to lurkers who likes to report and pissing off others who are already annoyed by you guys.

The only reason I even joined was because of this thread. It's hard to find genuinely nice people who can be open minded about video games these days =/

I doubt it.  It either means that the duration of Xbox only and then PC or it means PS4+PC.  Its a debatable topic that people will make their own interpretations on it.  Im just going to buy it for the first thing it comes out on though so im not too worried about it.

TitanFall - Its a really good game but it also lacked content.  THe assault rifle was the be all, end all gun.  Its literally the best weapon from the get go which is an issue since its the first weapon you get. Also id say it needed to rid the AI and just do like 6 vs 6 o or 8 vs 8 real players.   Its not fun killing bots honestly.

@Your other comment.  Yeah ive heard from multiple people this thread has caused them to join the site.  Ive aimed for a social enivorment where people can talk about games. Thanks to others chipping in with news like Ryuu and the welcoming people in this thread that there is too many names to name it has been a success.

And to be fair ive appreciated the mods when ive came to them to make sure trolling isnt active in this thread.

The problem with Tomb Raider is   'Exclusive for Xbox one holiday 2015'

1) Reading 2015 makes me think in 2016 not exclusive or why would you write 2015? 

2) In the past especially on X360 we saw  'Enchanted arms exclusive to Xbox 360' 'Eternal sonata exclusive to Xbox 360' Star Ocean 4  exclusive to Xbox 360' Bioshock  exclusive to Xbox 360'  Mass Effect  exclusive to Xbox 360'   Oblivion  exclusive to Xbox 360'  etc.....

People will keep on doubting thanks to how it was worded and the past.

The problem is that at times you have good people trying to spark up a conversation but then there are those few who ruin it by turning it into a fight. Its gotten to the point where I feel like people are afraid to make certain topics simply because of what it might start.

1. Well, it can mean that the PC version will release later, maybe that we will get a 360 version or maybe even a PS version but everyone knows that it's not exclusive on Xbox One lifetime since we already know it will come to PC. 

2. When MS had these ads, the games were probably not on other consoles so that it was normal to say that it's only on Xbox when it was only on Xbox. Why shouldn't MS call it exclusive when it was? If Netflix has the exclusive rights for a show they wiill also call it "only on Netflix" even if it will run 6 months later somewhere else. As long as it is exclusively to see/play/use with your offering, you call it exclusive. 

When I look at Sony's commercials in Germany it's even worse because they have ads for games released on XBO and PS4 but they let it sound as if the whole game is only on PS even if it's only "a key to Kyrat" or stuff like that. But nobody complains about this, Sony can do that, MS not. Sony can fool the people with their ads and it's fine.
