It was never going to be an Xbox Exclusive for the life of Xbox One. I wouldn't be shocked if I found out Microsoft and Square cooked up this deal as a way to gain marketing for the game, bad press is great marketing and all that.

The game not coming to platforms that the IP was born on basically drums up attention and no doubt some people will consider it a reason to buy an Xbox One, along with Halo 5, Quantum Break and the next Forza over the Holidays, along with any new games exclusive or otherwise announced at E3 or GDC for the second half of 2015.

woah, the next tomb raider isnt coming to sega saturn?


LOL, I should have said something more along the lines of not coming to the current gen systems that it was born or something like that. Hopefully you and everyone else here gets my meaning. ;)

Huh? It is kown since many months that the deal has a "duration". But I guess it is important to reiterate it as often as possible.

No, its the first time they say straight that its could come on PS4 after the deal

 

I guess its important yes because most people were still denying it, weird for an information " known"


Please be spefific: Who are those people, what makes you say "most"?

And you don't want to argue that the duration deal was known before, do you? Or do you want me a lmgtfy?

Console family is definitely a better way of saying or I guess platform holder's system it was born, there really was no simple way of saying that because it wasn't just born on Playstation, it came to PC and Saturn.

Unless im reading things wrong no it didnt.  It says.  The article may imply something else, but the guy at crystal never says that.

"We're focusing on Xbox One and Xbox 360 here at Crystal, and that's what we're focused on right now," he said. "And anything beyond? We'll come back to at a later date."

 

Which we already know without a shred of a doubt its coming to PC thanks to Phil Spencer saying it was a similar deal to Dead Rising 3.  As for PS4, i wouldnt doubt it, but people also thought Ryse and Dead Rising 3 was coming to PS4 at some point and over a year later they still havent.  It could go either way, but this isnt a confirmation

Most of the X1 fans, a quick look at all the threads on this subject shows that

 

And your are out of the subject here, the title is clear even if your dont like it, it talus about the fact its could come on PS4 after this Timed deal, something not Said before by CD



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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

 

The reason we insist on including our own analysis in thread OPs, is because simply copying and pasting often results in the duplication of poor writing.

In this case, it is clear that the developer has not said a single thing about any Playstation platform.

We're always grateful to posters for tracking down news and bringing it to the forums. But its important you have a really solid read of what you're producing - click through a few links, clarify what you're reading, and in turn what you're passing on to us.

I am sure that in this case you just misread an article, which isn't a major issue, but the result is a thread title that is clickbait, and an OP that is misleading.

I'll edit the title for you and leave you to address the OP. Alternatively if you wish I can lock the thread.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

That entirely depends on what games will launch around the ps4 version. Holiday period people pick up many games as presents and people spend more,  that doesn't really happen throughout the year. 

 

If RTR launches alongside Mass Effect 4, a new Gow, New Devil May Cry, new Saints Row, new Infamous, new GG IP, etc it very well may hurt sales.

 

It already has hurt TR:TOO sales, a bunch of people I know have refused to buy it due to the move CD puked pulled. 

 

I can understand they needed someone to pick up the marketing cost costs, but I rather they just say that then try horrendous PR tactics to bullcrap their way through. Had they been honest, I would have still supported them.

Oh, that's daring generalizing... But I guess you didn't actually check the threads and just assumed, I think. Especially after Phil himself said the deal has a duration.

So you say that after Phil Spencer said deal has a duration nobody believed it was coming to other platforms but now as CD said they won't say anything about other platforms people's minds changed?

I know you won't dig out the threads where "most of the x1 fans" said anything that could prove your point but it would be way better in any discussions to prove point where

- it is needed

- it can help your reasoning
