Wonder how fast this game would go on discount and how often.....I mean the last game is on discount nearly every month lol

No questions at all??? I guess we'll have to wait to find out the ways which the PS4 version will be enhanced.



I actually think this is a bad move by CD.

I can see it launching to close to Uncharted 4, because of this "delay" which then ends up costing them alot of sales on the PS4 side.

Thats gonna hurt them when like 2 / 3 rds of their sales are on the PS4 vs the Xbox One.

 

This game should have launched Nov 10th on the PS4 as well... so it was out before Uncharted 4 launches, and not have to compete along sides it.



Nothing to worry about sales of Tomb Raider. They probably have a contract with MS where they pay an amount of millions of (digital) copies to bundle it with the Xbox one.

so basically this is the transilation : "we are sorry for being money whores" 


I would've thought the publisher Square Enix was responsible for this not the devs themselves?

I wonder how those who are disgusted by this "money whore" action even got into Tomb Raider series considering it was moneyhatted by Sony almost right from the start. Or does it only become money whoring when Playstation is the platform left out instead of the platform getting exclusive rights to Tomb Raider?


Street Fighter V was moneyhatted by Sony, TR moneyhatted by Microsoft. Everyone is doing it


im not sure if people that make comments like this are completely oblivious to the situation on hand or just act clueless to try state a point.

Tomb Raider Reboot sold 7 million units by the time the deal was struck and was pofitable. has sold 8 million units so far. the game was happening either way. MS just paid for it NOT to come to PS4 and PC for a few months.

Street Fighter was a game confired by the dev to not have the budget or man power to happen, and was expected to come at 2018 at the earliest IF the funds and man power come up. Sony's deal meant the game was made and it comes in spring 2016 to PS4 and PC.

MS's deal delayed the game on other platforms with their deal, and spent money on something that was already coming to XB1 regardless. Sony's deal made a game that literally wasnt happening any time soon come to life, the money spent on the deal meant extra content that wasnt coming to PS4 (or PC) to come to the platform. so yeah.. seems like the same thing.... sure...

LOL They've ducked every question revolving around whether Lara will show any similarities to the old lara. Its f'n hilarious how much they look around the room wishing people never said a word. Heh


Of course they are avoiding that - they've raped original Lara, put the bullet through her head and burried her in the desert, then created this modern 'emotional' imposter to replace her.


They know the lara of old is what everyone wants but they are trying to push their vision onto them.
