With the sales of the last one, they were already circling it for sure.

About three people total were impressed with the TR reveal at E3, lol.

SE made a wise decision to get $$$ for essentially nothing on this deal.

Shinobi saying that he heard it's in fact a timed exclusive

I know it's a game that has more fans elsewhere and the last game was almost financial failure but I guess Microsoft realizes that they need exclusives to sell their console and Lara Croft is still an icon. The game may not sell a billion units but it will sell a few consoles, I bet. And those few consoles will have a userbase that will buy more games. Gotta spend money to make money. I hate that some people will miss out on it, though. The Tomb Raider reboot was my most anticipated game when it was announced and after it released, I loved it. I want everybody to play it. Hell, I got it on three different consoles!

Seems likely in my opinoin. Probably like a 1 year early deal or something. 

Now, I'm not saying I hope the XB1 doesn't do good because of it, but these devs should really get their comeuppins for doubting the PlayStation platform because of the PS3's launch. With all these signed deals, they got caught with their pants down and now they are stuck on the platform they expected to win. The silver lining perhaps.

Its great for Xbox, but now that you mention it its even worse for devs cause if they where paid for the signing before this gen started, they must have gotten much less money because the One/720 was expected to be the prefered platform.

Serves them right for preemptively ignoring half of the console fanbase.

I just hope this doesn't devolve into another Wii U like fiasco, were these devs scramble to release on PC or PS4 in an effort to recoup sales, and when nobody is buying the full price versions when u can get used copies on the One for 30 bucks, these devs say their game isn't viable on the platforms. Cause as we all know that would be utter bullshit.

CBOAT has chimed in with basically the same, in the usual CBOAT way.

All that not make no sense the game was on Sony's E3 im really confuse and its a game i don't really care
:) i care only about "quantum of max pain" game what happen with that ? is sad a new game like this( ok no quite new slow time cover shooting qte somewere i have see all that) but yeah is sad the game lost insibe Laras breast maybe M$ see that and say "oh generic" "plan b" bring the bag "who has money from vista "

Possibly, but you suggesting that MS is going to announce more of these next year is making me a bit annoyed already, let's hope they at least stay away from already established franchises. :/

Ha, I won't buy the game for any price. I'll be celebrating as the TR sales are pathetic compared to the big titles in 2015. And celebrating as XB1 sales continue to be weak. Microsoft has a garbage corporate culture, and each of their failures is something to celebrate imho.

So PS fans lose something and and MS fans gain nothing.

I don't see how this can be anything but a disappointing announcement.
