Forums - Gaming - Rumor: Rise of the Tomb Raider to be a 6 month timed exclusive

Eddie_Raja on 18 April 2015

Exactly what I thought it would be. Problem is they initially planned to avoid direct competition with Uncharted 4, but now they will get crushed by it...



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

I wonder if Sony moved uc4 purposely to hurt tomb raider sales


That would be kinda petty, don't you think?

Uncharted 4 should keep fans busy for 6 months.

In other news, if it aint 1080p 60fps on xb1 i'll wait for the PC release :^)

Maybe it'll skip to summer to not compete with Uncharted 4? Or maybe it comes out around March, I don't know.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

How nice of Microsoft teaching publishers that you can get paid for not doing any extra work. hope the devs got a piece of that pie.

Feels kind of a useless deal to have. Only 6 months ( Microsoft should have kept it completely exclusive).

More importantly, is it going to be released on PC day one?

Well it made some sense when uc4 was going to release on holidays... Bad luck... They should sue Sony for screwing their plan. Or gets more money from MS and extend delay 6 more months for Ps4.

Sue the company your own plan negatively impacts because the plan had a flaw. That'd be hillarious. Meanwhile their parent company is saying "more PS4 games please."


Well the process would make as much sense as the exclusivity on the less popular platform, so who knows.

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


Buy it used or for $20. Or rent.

Only if the game is good.



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.

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.

Even 3 month is also very close. UC4 has multiplayer so even if single player is 10+ hours but it will stay alive with legs for long time. Only way this game could sell well if they release before UC4 but after that its going suffer and get sales like a normal remaster.

I prefer TR to any Uncherted game, so I wouldn't be surprise if Rise TR ends up better than UC4. (So I can't wait to play it on Ps4).

You prefer TR reboot (which copied Uncharted elements in gameplay compeltey forgetting traditional TR) or old TR. ND is proven studio with their games and this game being direced by experienced ND staff who did Last of US. So we are very sure that they have better game than Crystal dynamics TR who are developing game for weak systems XB1 and XB360 so it will not have technical feat liie UC4 going to get at all and they failed to reboot TR propery instead they copied Uncharted in it.
