I don't care about the childish arguing that's ensued. I do care and no that I'll be playing Day 1. Fuck a year from now. This is one of my most anticipated games.


I agree if you have xbox, but why would a playstation owner want to buy an xbox for tomb raider? Unless they're just a diehard fan of it I don't see why. From an xbox and playstation fan, this was dumb. I somewhat knew this game was going to be on the PS4 (not 100 percent sure) and I knew for sure it will be on PC. However, what bothers me a lot is the fact that Microsoft nickeled and dime the phantom dust game and now it is going to be on hold and developed by someone else, but they have no problem doing these timed deals. I think Xbox line up is way better than Sony's lineup don't get me wrong. I just call things the way I see it.

Remake of 1 year old game, yeah sure


You really cant admit the defeat :p


Would make sense however. Ninja Gaiden sigma 2 was the same way (about a year difference) and so was tomb raider defenitive edition. Is it hard to believe that Square Enix won't make improvements on the ps4 version like extra content, make game on a newer engine, newer assets and redo a lot of things.  It won't look like a complete new game, but it will be different in many ways more than likely.

A game with extra content is not a remake. The game will only have all the DLC released, and maybe a little bonus content, but it's not enough to call it remake like you said, it is still  a port


It probably have more visual upgrades. I am not talking about any rez bump or fps bump. They will probably redo the textures to make the game look better or something of that sort. Phil Spencer said he won't invest into games on rival platform, so square enix is making the game themselves and redoing things or perhaps build it on a newer engine and improve textures. This happend before.



i think 1 year is quite a lot of time, if they wouldnt have announced it many people would have waited like 1 or 3 months until questioning the release again. And like i predicted there will be no PS3 version.

PD shouldn't have been dug up in the 1st place. Way better games that could've been rehashed. Don't know how many ppl are going to buy a Xbox for just TR but a lot will buy for Halo 5 and TR. Plus the other awesome games they've missed. Doesn't particularly have to be for TR. Do hope they bundle it though.

A bundle will be ideal that is for sure. I believe Halo, Gears Ultimate Edition, Forza and Fable legends will bring a lot of playstation owners to xbox, but if playstation owners likes tomb raider and don't care about those games then why bother? Also, I understand phantom dust isn't for everyone, but I still prefer exclusives / console exclusives to timed exclusives. I hope to god that was a Don Mattrik's decision. If that was Phil Spencer, he needs a slap to the face. Timed anything (dlc, exclsuives,ect) are dumb. Spend money that will make your system unique and warrant a purchase from other console owners. 

On the bright side since the youtube channel "TheKnow" is correct about this and darksouls 3 leak, maybe they're correct about Microsoft snatching Silent Hill series.

You really think Spencer would have allowed in the deal to announce the PS4 version before X1 version release ? It seems impossible. It just decrease the potential sales considerably while they paid for this deal, this makes no sense

Maybe a mistake from someone working at square enix, but now, too late to fix it

Wow.... everyone knew the game was coming to PS4. They just announce that's it's not coming till Holiday 2016. That's a big deal for microsoft. 

This one year console exclusive is great news for Microsoft and awful news for PS4. If you don't want to wait a year you must own a X1 or play it after the Holidays on PC. 

No they didn't.  Many expected it would come to PS4, but it wasn't guaranteed.  And some thought (or maybe hoped is the right word) that it was only coming to PC after XBO.  And the fact that the date is announced for PS4 is bad for MS.  Now, people know for a fact that it is coming to PS4.  If TR was going to sway anyone, and I know that isn't a large crowd, it's effect is now basically null.  Now, they can wait for it on PS4, most likely with all the extra content and a slight graphical upgrade.

lol wow XBO users get the game a full year before PS4 users. That is crazy. If Sony didn't one-up MS every single time this wouldn't have happened.


Um. It makes sense for them to launch during Holiday's 2016. If they launched during the spring they would be going up against UC4. I doubt they are.allowed to release it during the winter (within 2 months of XB1 release). So it come down to.a.summer or fall release. They obviously see the fall being more profitable.

You act like its Sony's choice haha.  Whats it going to take, 4 days to beat Uncharted?

Yeah cause U4 will only be on sale for one day....



Yeah Microsoft and Square Enix made a mistake, i hope they will keep making more and bigger mistake



I mean, this is honestly a longer wait than I expected. Maybe it makes the fact that it's on ps4 "more real." But a one year gap is quite a long wait still. I agree that it's a bit odd that they would do this before the game is even released on its leading platform.
