I didn't know Destiny was coming out on Xbox One until E3, not saying Sony mislead people but it all depends on how they present it is all.

You have to admit, they're getting really good at it.

Pretty sure it will be. I remember hearing some cross gen talk in a thread here on GAF a while ago.

When you cut off most of the audience that made it a success, how could this not?

And there was an uproar for Bloodborne, all the port-beggings going on in those threads and the refusal to believe that FROM would collab with Sony again. ( because why would they?)
Granted, there's a lot more noise in this thread.

Judging by the reactions, this created more negative publicity than anything else. This is from the article about it on BBC tech:

that is the question, how much was the moneyhat

That's how mS plays. If you can't compete, mislead them.

Emmm did you not see the outrage on the Destiny Sony Exlusive Content, even from Sony Fanboys
if your thinking Sony did the same with Bloodborne.
Bloodborn is not Demon Souls 2 as much as it it shares similarities its technically a new IP meaning total New story, now say if BB was multiplatform and BB2 went full Exclusive then their be an outrage.
Hurt the growth? They just fucked this franchise. They cut the audience down to a third of what it might have been.
Makes a good point
Yeah me too... only if the game cost them nothing that why they are doing this....

Yep, this has done more harm than good, and the game isn't even out for over a year, so the negativity will continue.
Someone really needs to tell them this is not how you do it. They NEED to start investing in some of their own studios and create NEW, original franchises that we all can enjoy. So that you get the impression that MS is bringing something to the gaming landscape that isn't Halo, Forza, Fable and Gears.

Timed exclusives are the dumbest thing ever, but at least it makes it easier for me to wait for the game to hit a single-digit price on Steam.

What brand was it always associated with? Which brand has received all other big name TR titles? This is pathetic.

Does anyone have the press release from the Titanfall reveal? I would guess the language was different.

There were a lot of people pissed off at just some strikes being exclusive to PS4's Destiny port.
This has to be disingenuous as these discussions are not that rare or one-sided.
Isn't he a verified to be legit?

Reactions of angry videogames fanboys online doesn't equal reality.

No. Just no. People are delusional if they think there's going to be some mass outrage over this.
This is a good move for Microsoft. They're behind in the race, and they're taking the steps to close the gap. I feel Microsoft as of late has been trying a lot harder than Sony has. Sony feels like they're riding the wave as of late. So this is a good move for Microsoft.
As a gamer, I'm not pleased with the announcement even if I do own both. But realistically, I don't expect this to be anything other than a timed exclusive, so I'll play it later when they release the Definitive Edition again, or something with DLC, or some other method of launching it on the PS4 and PC. So I'm not really concerned about never playing it on my preferred platform.
Fixed that for you.

Slightly annoyed I have to wait an extra 6 months to play this now. This is the most MS of moves though. Rather than invest in a first party studio, look around the release calendar then throw money at a publisher to hold a game back on other platforms. Hard not to dislike a company that only creates comparative value in their products by trying to lower the value of the competitions offering rather than making their product better.
Oh well, MS gonna MS. Tomb Raider will be a nice rental in Summer 2016.

Looks like news is trending everywhere but with little positive sentiment.
If this timed SE might get a nasty surprise when they reveal the fact and ask for foregiveness - if it isn't timed they're batshit crazy anyway.
Pretty much.

This is not a good way to develop and launch a game. Piss off loyal customers and diminish brand value in one go. The only positive is the cash infusion that MS delivers, which perhaps speaks louder than anything else.

This is how Microsoft is going to play the game. They know they need the sales and they know Playstation has a healthy lead so they're going to moneyhat any good potential 3rd party titles in a bid to draw more people to the Xbox camp.
The amount of money to strike this deal must have been huge which makes me wonder instead of moneyhatting 3rd party games how would MS fair funding 1st party exclusives instead.

Shinobi says timed, Andy McNamara from Game Informer thinks timed, Geoff Keighley thinks timed.
We'll never get confirmation of it unless it's from Microsoft/Square, and that only comes with a Definitive Rise of the Tomb Raider announcement for PS4 like 6 months after this version comes out.

I I'd have to give my honest opinion, I'd say PC. Tomb Raider is, at heart, a PC franchise. This is where I have played all of the games.

I'm seeing a lot of posts on my newsfeed from people I never knew played video games/commented on video game news before.
After Titanfall alpha textures fiasco? I don't trust him.
