Forums - Gaming - Rise of the Tomb Raider (PS4) is up for preorder on Amazon - $59.99

The_BlackHeart__ on 06 August 2015

Tomb Raider is not a system seller, but I'm pretty sure Microsoft is not happy with the way this is being handled.

What if casual #1 is actually going to buy a new console this holiday season to play Tomb Raider. Casual #1 goes to Amazon.com and finds the game for both platforms.

Since casual #1 knows $hit about the gaming news, he buys a PS4 and so does casual #2 and #3

The idea of paying for timed exclusivity is to boost your console sales and Amazon is clearly not helping here.

    LOL.  This is too funny

    Lets stop the console wars for a minute and marvel at how insanly akward and ironic this last detail is.  Square has no shame.  

    A completely new level of the Great Moneyhat Debacle of 2014 - a comedy of errors spanning three years and tens of millions of wasted dollars!

    Why do people look everywhere but straight ahead? The reason SE announced it was coming to the PS4 and the reason they've now allowed preorders on Amazon is because it's not doing well on the XB1.

    So basically the exact same blurb as the Xb one but with a find/replace to remove Xb one and inset PS4.

    • Awe-Inspiring Deadly Tombs - Explore huge ancient spaces littered with deadly traps, solve dramatic environmental puzzles, and decipher ancient texts to reveal crypts as you take on a world filled with secrets to discover.
    • Woman vs. Wild - Conquer a world fiercely protecting its secrets, endure perilous conditions and unstable landscapes, face dangerous wildlife that act as guardians to ancient tombs, and explore huge interactive environments.
    • Guerrilla Combat - Use the environment to your advantage, scale trees and dive underwater to avoid or takedown enemies, configure Lara's gear, weapons, and ammo to suit your play style, craft explosives on the fly to sow chaos, and wield Lara's signature
    • Unprecedented Visual Fidelity - Utilizing the full power of the Xbox One, Rise of the Tomb Raider comes alive with deeply immersive and interactive spaces delivering the most visually stunning Tomb Raider game ever made.
    I bet Tomb Raider 2013 on PC is more visually stunning
