Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft Publishing & Funding Tomb Raider, Similar to Dead Rising 3 Deal

Wait, I thought SE was publishing...all this story has been very confusing and it should be simple.Is it exclusive...timed exclusive?..console exclusive?..no one is giving a straight answer and only now the scenario seems to be more clear, so if MS is indeed publishing it, I guess that rules out a PS4 version.

If it is similar to the DR3 deal, then MS is advertising the game, MS is helping to fund development, SE is publishing, and then it will come to PC later...

But, DR3 has not yet been announced as PS4 bound.

Its sad that gamers still don't understand how the console business works. MS doesn't care for gamers who don't game on PC or Xbox just like Sony don't care for gamers who don't game on PS4 and Vita. Sony paid for extra content in Destiny and Watchdogs while MS paid for Timed exclusiveness for TR and The Witcher 3 collectors. If you don't like there decision then go out and buy the console to play the game, if you cant afford it then trade in your current console, if you don't want to do that then your clearly not that interested in the game in the first place.


There is a different between extra content and a whole game.

That's really sad for gamers that MS prefers to use this money to buy a game for a period instead of making  their own game. That's why X1 will never have a great exclusive library, it's really sad  they dont know how to use their money to benefit the industry and gamers by creating more games.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Why is this even a problem? As a PC version is very likely and given by the vgchartz forums many PS4 gamers already have a gaming PC to play the "not so exclusive games" on Xbone they still can play the PC version which will be superior to both the Xbone version and a probably never releasing PS4 version.

Right, and Bungie/Activision just gave Sony the Destiny deal for free.  alpha play, extended beta play, year long exclusive content, sole company that can advertise the game and include bundles.   Sorry that MS one upped Sony for TR.  Trend does not seem to be stopping either between both companies : ohhhh well

UPDATE - August 16th, 2014

Thank you for all of the feedback and questions. There has been a lot of coverage about Rise of the Tomb Raider, and a new round of articles including Phil Spencer’s Kotaku article in which he mentions that our deal has a duration. We are focused on making the game as great as it can be. If you haven’t read that article yet, you can do so here.

I still don't see this not coming to PS4 eventually. All developing could mean is helping to develop the X1 version of the game.

I guess then you only buy exclusives on PS4, right?
