Haha, that's ridiculous.

It's not Xbox One exclusive though. Oh, IGN. Also on 360
The One and Only
probably a timed exclusive and if not,this is no big deal,as I was planning on getting an xbox one sometime down the road. Game is still a year away,so that's plenty of time.
walsufnir said: It's funny to read here, especially when I remember the time the TR reboot was revealed people (not generalizing but many from Sony side did it) hated on it, looking like Uncharted and uninspired. When it was released many of these people said it was ok but nothing ground breaking and where criticizing it for not being their beloved TR anymore. Now it is moving on to another platform where a lot of people (including me, having played 1-4 of the old TRs) liked it the way it is. Sometimes it seems people just search for opportunities to hate on MS. This topic will stay for weeks, months and the moneyhatting itself for years. I guess this will be the top spot on N4G for days to come. |
I disagree on that bolded part. Tomb Raider had fantastic word of mouth and many people, myself included, see it as being an improvement on the Uncharted formula.
This whole thing has nothing to do with hating on Microsoft. Its more to do with pointing out just how idiotic someone at Square Enix must be to sign this deal when the first TR game struggled to make money on a userbase of over 100 Million consoles.
lol ms is publishing tomb raider

If that's all you take from my answer we're pretty much done here.
The One and Only
seriously SE is dead to me, DEAD!
after giving middle fingers to Vita fans for not giving FF Type-0 and now this?
goodbye SE
This is amazing. I am literally laughing my ass off. Good bye ass!
Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
I just don't get why SE destroy one of their biggest western franchises just after they've completed a rather popular (especially on PS consoles) reboot.
Didn't they see what happened to Splinter Cell after Conviction was exclusive to Xbox 360? MS needed their own Uncharted and I believe this is the reason they bought Conviction and TR2 but I sure hope SE got a hell of a lot of money cause the sales will suffer big time.
Since Dead Rising 3 was announced for PC, PvsZ Garden Warfare for PS4 and Sunset Overdrive went from hot to lukewarm for me I was getting pretty sure that I could get through this gen with my PS4, Wii U, PC and 3DS but if TR2 isn't just a timed exclusive I guess I'll have to buy an XB1 eventually. This gen will be unnecessarily expensive for me :S
As a long time fan of the franchise I'm a little disappointed though.. Yeah yeah. People can just buy an XB1 but what if they don't really see other uses for it than just this 1 game? Besides Lara Croft is one of the biggest PlayStation Legends! :P
Edit: Phew.. It seems to be a holiday timed exclusive. Hope it turns out true. Spoke to many people here at Xbox press conference on Tomb Raider. Official line is that the game is "exclusive on Xbox for holiday 2015."
