Square Enix: 'Our Partnership With Microsoft... Does Have A Duration'

I'm still trying to figure out why this game is crossgen when it's launching holiday 2015.

We already knew this as well. It's still a big win for Microsoft.

I wouldn't even say it was good for MS, they had to pay for something they were getting anyway, only winners are SquEnix and CD.

i think most publishers thought that the transition to next gen consoles wont be so fast. i mean, PS4 is the fastest selling console in history, and i dont think anyone expected that. last gen is dying out faster than most expected, and most publishers already had games in development for them already. i do think the last gen ports will be cancelled though.

It's an exclusive they get for the next holiday season. That counts for something at least and I'm pretty sure they're going to bundle it as well so it'll help boost sales by a decent amount.

this is pretty much known by now. anybody can tell this is a timed exclusive.

“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.

i mean come on, its obvious its coming to PC and PS4. im predicting it will be canned on 360 and PS3 as well. just making it PS4, Xb1 and PC

PC is confirmed by this, not PS4. Or the contract could be for a few games only on xbox one.
People are only reading into this what they want to read. When/If the officially come out and say it's coming to PS4, then it's confirmed.

Well duh! I mean, I can't understand why they can't make a profit on 3 platforms and had to reissue it on new consoles. They must have had crazy expectations.

Yes. We knew it was a timed exclusive but we didn't know whether the game would end up on PS4 or just the PC.

With Square Enix's confirmation and "but it's shh at the moment" and Microsoft's lack of a clear announcement like "Rise of the Tomb Raider will never come to other consoles" I really think that the game will come to PS4. Maybe even early 2016?
