Rise of the Tomb Raider timed Xbox exclusive for Holiday 2015 (No PS/PC, SE publish)

It does make you wonder if those people are deliberately acting ignorant, or they actually are ignorant.

no point for MS to pay for a timed exclusive and let people know it's a timed exclusive, the correct response from CD is "no comment" "we have no plans for other platforms at this time". if it's an exclusive forever, they should have no problem saying "it's never coming on other platforms".

hey now, don't give them any ideas
There were a few handheld only ones for GBC/GBA.
I was just thinking that.

What's the source on this? Thanks.
This is pretty shitty.
So this is how he plans to sell consoles?
By confusion and not being honest?
Well because of the shady-ness about it all, I'm going to suspect its not exclusive, and its a timed exclusive, so I'm not buying on X1.

In the wider range of gamers, I really doubt it will make that much difference, PS4/PC will have plenty to play and people will just pick it up when it releases later

SE didn't even like the sales of the first TR on last gen.... and now they are going to release a game which sells the most in Europe on system that also sells the most in Europe on another one?
This will hurts the game sales so much......
This sucks because even if it was time-exclusive and was released later on other systems the peaking time would have passed and won't get as much sales as it would have if it was released on all systems like it was planned from the start.
How can this serve the gamers and the fans of the series?
:\

Thinking about it, it's kind of smart of SE, depending on how long the delay is. If it launched on the PS4 around the same time as Uncharted, sales would be hurt. But if they delay it a few months, let the sales of UC4 die off, competition wont be as high for it.
I still hate this though.

I think that would take BOAT loads of cash
Probably not for long judging by the latest info...
Bloodborne is the spiritual successor to a PlayStation 3 exclusive game, Demon's Souls. That is a poor comparison.
EDIT:
Forgot that it's also being co-developed by Sony Japan. So there you go.

Bloodborne is being co-developed by Sony Japan. It would be pretty silly for Sony to put out a game on their competitor's platforms, don't you think?

But what if the game gets delayed?

Where's the confirmation that it's a timed exclusive?
Having the internet go nuts is indeed quite an accomplishment as that almost never happens, he must be proud.
Fortunately yes, time to spread the news.
Plot twist: PS4/PC owners get to play it BEFORE Holiday 2015.
No, probably because people would have more sense than that and would have realised that Sony Japan Studios are codeveloping and assisting in production.

I wonder if the same people butt-hurt/boycotting over this announcement will do the same when Sony announces a multi-plat is going PS4 exclusive tonight or in the future?

Then it comes out even later on all the platforms?
Yeah but I mean, everyone knew when it was shown that it's basically "the next souls games but not called souls". It's less of an IP (technically a "new" IP) than tomb raider so I guess i can kinda understand
EDIT: OH RIGHT ! I forgot it was co-edited by Japan Studio. Nevermind i'm dumb
ME4 timed exclusive from anyone would be glorious. Communities will burn in anguish.

LOL square enix fucked up, i don't think the money they got for exclusivity will be enough to cover the loss of sales. Rise is now guaranteed to sell less than the previous tomb raider considering Xbone has a lower install base than the PS4.
No, they won't right now of course because of the deal with MS. But now that we have cboat and reading the wording and comments from Ms anyone with common sense can now see it's going to be timed.
Sony Studio Japan is helping with the development.
The it's a spiritual sequel to Demon's Souls, a Studio Japan developed Playstation exclusive.
It's apples and oranges.

If nothing else is coming out whenever this comes out holiday 2015 then fuck it I'll get it for my xbone. But if there are a lot of titles or I have a huge backlog then oh ho ho I'm waiting till its on ps4.

Microsoft's Bayonetta lol
I hope this doesn't hurt the growth of the rebooted franchise.

No-one here looks favourably at Microsoft with this news. If they do, they are ignorant.
