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

I think the fuss that people will make about this will market it more than Microsoft.
Time for deranged fans to send SE death threats.

ive never been so salty over a game in my entire life ha ha ha ha ha

I hope you promote Tomb Raider in Portugal man.



Well I guess they don't want my money. Ok then

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!



Not going to lie, i'm a little pissed about this myself. Not because of the petty SONY/MSFT war or whatever. I don't want some shitty console version, no PC no buy.

As a Tomb Raider fan, i'm angry.

As much as I feel like this is especially bad practice, the game wont flop like some are saying (I think 2.5m in 2015) and it should sell quite a lot of Xbox Ones alongside Halo 5 next holiday.

They could have sold a lot more on PS4 though


u really think it will do 2.5m when on the xbox 360 with a much LARGER user bases didnt do those numbers ?

This pretty means one thing; Microsoft knows they don't have a strong lineup for 2015 and are absolutely terrified of Uncharted 4, so they pretty much threw so much money that they drove a company to alienate the fan base that started it's series. I wonder if CD already forgot that both of Tomb Raider and the definitive version sold better on PS3/ PS4?

Thats what I thought too. I dislike Microsoft too much due to things like this. I'll never buy an XBO

I don't see why people get salty with this. Just get an Xbox One and you're all set guys :)

Wasn't it originally announced as PS3 and PS4 game as well? The whole thing comes off as a massive middle finger to Playstation gamers, especially since the majority of the fanbase is on Sony consoles. 


Well, when the latest Blazblue wasn't announced for 360 with a very crappy explanation of why (despite it releasing on Vita too), I felt like they were giving me the middle finger too. People just told me to go get a Ps3 to play it.

 

Okay, same thing here! :)

Tomb Raider was announced for PS4...

Thats the key thing.

A game being announced as an exclusive is very different from a game being announced as a multiplatform release, then someone like microsoft paying for the ps4 version to be canned or delayed. It would be exactly the same if sony bought exclusivity to Batman Arkham Knight after its already been announced for Xbox One.

Any respectable publisher would avoid this but clearly square enix is lacking in that department.



No Microsoft. You need to spend your money on purchasing/starting up developers not on timed exclusives and DLC.



haha, damn, that's a wrap for this franchise then.



Thanks jlmurph!
