Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Rise of the Tomb Raider Timed Exclusive for Xbox

Might not be a smart idea making anything exclusive right now. I dunno how much Microsoft paid them, but the sales are going to suffer bad.

A deal was done to make a PS4 exclusive game

Here, a deal was done to keep a multiplat game from being multiplat.


I still cant find anything official from Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics or Sony that actually says this was a PlayStation game after it was first revealed. You got me anything official?


As far as I know platforms were NEVER announced. The game was likely a MS exclusive for a while now.

The reports MS was going 3rd party purchase crazy in late 2012 - 2013 is real, and Scalebound and Tomb Raider are the 1st 2 examples with more to come.

Alright well, I can understand maybe some don't have enough cash to buy all consoles and if so then yes I'm sure this is frustrating.

But its business. That's just the way it works, unfortunately at the end of the day it isn't always about making the consumer happy.

I don't much care what system it's own, my concern lies with the very real possibility of SE pulling the plug on crystal dynamics when it ultimately sells below expectation.

SE had to have known beforehand what it would do, their expectation should appropriately be really low, cause if they where pissed at selling 7 mill was it? there is no way in hell they can sell more than the XB1's userbase. MS must be making up the difference and or SE doesn't expect much.

Who would honestly greenlight a AAA game unless it was mutiplatform these days?

If it was an exclusive from the beginning, you KNOW that they would have been all over it at E3 unveiling, that's not something you forget to mention.

Occam's razor. If you are a third party dev, and you're making a game, it would be idiotic beyond belief to skip the PS4 or the XB1. Skipping either is just losing sales for absolutely no reason. The only reason is $$$ by moneyhatting.

Dude if you guys are mad at this............

Woo boy there's gonna be some heat next year.


Lol theres more? Looking forward to that, some of the reponses in here are priceless. Luckily ill buy any game I want regardless of platform because I don't have a single console loyalty, which if theres more of these to come, seems to be the best way to keep your blood pressure down if you enjoy this hobby.



Lol, this means exactly that they are walking away from their fans on PlayStation. And after TR sold more on PS4.

This is some fine bullshit indeed. I don't know about you guys, but this is a fine time to complain on all the social media against Crystal / Squenix.

And I can understand that. My only beef is with the people screaming about how MS is a terrible company for doing this. Will the reaction be the same when Sony announces?

I'm curious. Very curious.

nope not at all.

But it will personally make me feel better. I haven't actually bought any of the Uncharteds yet :o.
