Looks like I was right, you were trying to be ignorant. PS - You can reply directly to me, you don't have to be afraid and go off on a kiddy rant in the thread.

Wrong. Rise of the Tomb Raider GOTY Edition will be on PS4.

You miss my point entirely.MS lacks first party games so no matter what Sony and Nintendo do with helping with development,they still have more games they own than MS. As for Indie games,really? Those would not be made without someone giving them money and are not comparable to an esablished retail game that started on PSX like Tomb Rider.

Rise of TR would have been made without MS' help (if they really are helping and not just paying for it which it's obvious they just paid to keep it off the PS4) as the last TR was developed without MS.We don't know the deal with Beyonetta 2 and that was Platinum's decision as they needed a publisher (though I am sure they could have found a third party) and Beyonetta 1 sold poorly.

I don't care if MS bought the rights to the franchise as U4 will be a much better game and i had no plans to buy RoTR period.Just pointing out the truth.It still does not make a single platform better for exclusives when th don't own th games and is a weak business practice.

New statement from Square Enix

“Our partnership with Microsoft on ‘Rise of the Tomb Raider’ does have a duration, but we aren’t discussing those details at this time and are focused on collaborating to deliver a great game on Xbox One and Xbox 360,” a Square Enix representative told us via email. For those of you on PC and PlayStation systems, your hope of playing Rise of the Tomb Raider on other systems lives on.

Excellent.

So we're likely to see a PC version, and beyond that, we just don't know.

Oh cut it out.

And you are way off topic. This has nothing to do with Microsoft's lack of first-party games, and everything to do with money-hatting. Why should one company get away with it while the other gets grilled? Just because Sony and Nintendo have more first-party titles doesn't make them any more or less excused in regards to moneyhatting. It's a business, corporations don't play friends with each other. Microsoft knows that its best bet is to help develop and publish games from third parties as timed exclusives, so it does just that. It's not a weak business practice, if it was all the corporations wouldn't do it.

And you really think that anyone in the industry is innocent? Sony helped develop and publish the Ratchet and Clank games and the Resistance games, and now is doing the same with Street Fighter 5. Nintendo helped out with plenty of Rare titles, and with Bayonetta 2 (which had only Nintendo to turn to, in the end). Microsoft is doing it with Tomb Raider, a franchise that needs all the help it can get to take off in an industry that already has a similar game that is much more of a powerhouse (Uncharted).
