No, it's 360/one.


That's to bad for the developers. If I wait 6 months for the superior PC/PS4 versions, I can easily wait another 6 months for a Steam/PSN sale. I think sales are going to suffer from this deal.


I agree, this game going to suffer a lot.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

The PS4 sales are going to be shit to. The hype for this game is going to be at its peak when the game first release and by the PS4 version comes out the hype is going to be nowhere near its initial launch date. I have a feeling if the XBO can do 1 mil than the PS4 version could probably do 2.5mil, that is if they released on the same day, but I think the PS4 version will probably be around 1 mil when it comes out.

Especially if the reviews are so-so.

It would cost a ridiculous amount of money for MS to get full time Exclusivity and not have it sell on the console that will have more than double the units of X1 by then. Never mind the brand preference of most Tomb Raider fans.

This isn't surprising.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

So we're looking at spring 2017 when it's $20. Can't wait to buy it in spring 2017!

Don't care if it's timed or otherwise. I'll be boycotting it.

I seriously doubt Microsoft would bother for 6 months.

Spring 2016 would be absolutely idiotic, putting it up against Uncharted 4. It will be steamrolled.

It needs to be a Summer release.


I'm pretty sure they wont do that.

I am expecting Uncharted to release no later than march or april and tomb raider about june.

Microsoft wanted a counter for uncharted 4. With uncharted out of the way it became a bit redundant in that regard but its not a waste of money for XB1 owners i'm sure.

Also, these deals have got to take into consideration lost sales. Even at the time of the deal the PS4 was doubling X1 sales so it may be that for the price they were willing to pay that is all they could get.

Why is everyone saying "head t head with UC4"? It's Spring, that means a whole 3 goddamn months. Unless they will be releasing within 2 weeks of each other no sales will be lost on either side.
And we haven't even confirmation yet that UC won't be delayed another time.
