If its GoW I'd agree. Otherwise its in the same boat as QB and SB

Eh, I'm not bitter, I haven't bought a TR since the 90s. I played a little of the last one on PC, and wasn't impressed. I admit I didn't give it a whole lot of a chance, but it seemed like a QTE fest, which wasn't what I remembered liking about TR.

What I think is stupid is :

Microsoft choice A : Don't moneyhat TR, spend that $XXM on first party development instead, or spend it towards giving every new XB1 owner 3 or 6 months free XBLG, or any number of SMART things.

Microsoft choice B : Moneyhat TR, with the sole benefit being keeping a game not known for selling well OFF of other platforms?

Xbox owners would have gotten the game either way, so this is ... useless? IMHO yes, this is useless and wasteful (and worst of all, not even an effective choice). At least Titanfall got some buzz and resulted in a bump after the biggest hype train in gaming history. TR? Wow. Just ... wow.

exclusivity is so anti consumer.
who benefits from third party exclusives? nobody but the platform holder, why gamers get excited over exclusivity i'll never know, if your consoles getting a game its getting a game, does it effect you if owners of other consoles get it too?

a persons choice in console should lay squarely on the features and first party game offerings and not on the content they paid to force users hands in making that choice.

multiplatform betas should open on all the platforms the game will be available on, at the same time for the same duration, exclusive dlc should be content for a game created by the platform holder only, not content a platform holder has paid to keep off other systems, you want exclusive skins and maps on a third party game, so you can use it as a hook for potential buyers? make it yourself.

If more third party games are announced during sony conference as being console exclusive i'm going to be pissed, this practice should not exist in amnindustry so close to the brink, with games and the developing companies living or dying on end user sales.

we're hurtling headlong down a dead end street with our food on the gas and the brake lines cut.

Yeah, I see the numbers last gen were really not all that far apart. I was talking more historical significance I suppose. Tomb Raider has just been on the Playstation forever at this point so it will seem sort of odd to have it exclusive to another console. I enjoyed the remake but have never been a huge fan so it makes little difference to me. And who knows, I may find a reason to have an Xbox One by that point. I have previously always had two different consoles until now. It is just always a little odd for me when whatever long-standing franchise suddenly moves to another console like this. It is business and it will not be the last time we see this sort of thing. 

Thank you, I will. Still didn't see any reasons for this being a good move for Xbox owners and since you seemingly can't provide me with one I agree that we are done here.

And btw, I didn't bring Playstation into the discussion. MS and Square Enix did with the shitty deal that excludes Playstation AND PC owners.

Sony creates a new IP and lets other people continue to play Dark Souls
MS moneyhats TR

there you go. MS with its usual anti consumer practices, on top of EA access. Then people wonder why MS is hated. Last year's fiasco + this BS are enough examples of why i'll never buy any Xbox

Lol. That's funny

A third party exclusive IN 2015 and not published by Microsoft ?
LOL I already know how this is going.
This game is going to come out for PS4 during 2016

Well, in some way you are right but Tomb Raider was not really "tied" to PS. Yes, PS systems all got the main games but they were also always on PC and other platforms, too. IIRC it was never exclusive to PS. But yes, it is more tied to PS than Xbox. This might change now, perhaps ;)

Such comments are unnacceptable so just report them.
