You jerk! This is why we won't get a third game. :x
Why? Because she mows down cannon fodder with impunity?
Enemies: "She's here!"
Lara: "You're damn right I am!"
That doesn't sound particularly inspiring. Nor do I think that Camilla Luddington can convincingly play that role.
When is it even coming out on PS4?
Square are really hurting themselves with this late port.
That is just one example meant to respond to the nonsense idea that she is somehow emo now. Maybe you should expand on what made her a bad-ass in the original games that somehow does not apply to the reboot.
I don't think she is emo. However I really don't think that they can convincingly make Lara cool with the writing and the current actress.
In the old games Lara didn't actually talk as much as the newer games, but she was unflappable when she did.
I don't think they'll take the MS money again. I don't think anyone will now.
MS approached multiple publishers/developers and Square Enix was the only ones who bit. The rest were smart enough to say no.
Drake and Lara Team up?They should get Sony to publish it 😛
Well, yeah. No one else would before, and they certainly won't now. MS approached multiple publishers/developers and Square Enix was the only ones who bit. The rest were smart enough to say no.
I find it funny how many people are saying how it's a shame they screwed this game over by making it exclusive. So much of a game's "narrative" online is written by the people who yell the loudest and then is spread outward. If the ps4 only owners would have been adults and thought to themselves "hm that's business and how the world works, besides I'll probably get to play it next year like the wording clearly reveals", then they wouldn't have caused a huge uproar that convinces others to basically boycott the game. It's only an issue because people made it an issue. I own both systems, but last gen I only had a PS3, and whenever a game was exclusive to Xbox I didn't whine...because I can see how big gaming businesses want to operate. It doesn't take much thought to step outside yourself and use your imagination to see that. Just because a game comes out on another system doesn't mean the next one will, and assuming that is the case is to be willfully immature. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with how the Internet treats games as this personal business, when it's fucking entertainment and exists to make money.
...Weird. I haven't been following it, so I had no idea this game sold poorly. I've been planning on picking it up soonish (maybe after Christmas), it just didn't make it to the point of being an "I must buy this on release" game for me.
What's all this "corporate bullshit" people keep talking about in this thread?
If it's the Xbox One [timed] exclusivity then all I can say is welcome to this side of the table as I sit here with my Xbox and watch all of these awesome-sounding PS4 exclusives (some timed, some permanent) go by. I'm sure you're all equally upset by the exclusivity on those, right?
If it's not that, can someone fill me in or link me to a story or something?

Maybe I dunno. Something fantasy. With Vampires and time travel?

Yeah I don't hear many tears about how many sales From lost by not releasing Bloodborne on PC despite it being the lead platform for Dark Souls 2 sales. Here you are more likely to read about how the exclusivity is great because PC gamers ruin the souls community.

I'd like to see some examples of people saying PC gamers ruin the Souls community.
Bloodborne is not only a very different situation, but it also did not represent a giant drop on the series' numbers upon release, even accounting for a reduced number of platforms.
Do you actually have any information whatsoever to back up your post, or was it just a haphazard attempt at drawing a false equivalency?
There is at least one gaffer who is always going on about how PC gamers ruined the souls community but I don't want to either go through old posts or resort to random naming and shaming.
Whatever From sold they could have more than doubled it by going multiplat, easy. That's a lot of money they left behind that could of gone into funding future games that everyone could enjoy.
Que? Everyone who's played the game loves it.
Could have.
One gaffer? Are you fucking kidding me then? You made a sweeping generalization based on one guy you don't remember?
I don't know why I bothered engaging with your clear derailing attempt.
Like I say I don't want to break down who is saying what in a huge database of neogaf posts from the last five years. Are you seriously expecting me to have that sort of data on hand in case one angry guy asks for evidence? Maybe some sad character working for a games publisher does that for a living but not me.

It is fairly obvious that SE (or higher ups at CD) made decisions that negatively impacted the game's ability to make money. No amount of commentary from PS4 owners convinced Xbox One owners to keep it from being a top ten seller on its own (and for now, only) platform. Bad release date timing. Lousy bundle restricted to one retailer. And apparently, some strange decision making from SE where the PS4 version was delayed an additional six months. They now have to market the same game three different times.I find it funny how many people are saying how it's a shame they screwed this game over by making it exclusive.

No. But people also don't expect you to extrapolate evidence of group behaviour from a single sample point of one person.

Any further word on the PS4/PC versions since the X1 release?
PS4 owners it's on you to save this game! Buy it in droves next holiday!
