gaming Oh you loved Tomb Raider? Well sorry you lose.

*Cough it's supposedly a timed exclusive cough*

[HopeTheWanderer 121]

That's a relief. Still a bad move though. Granted as much as Microsoft deserves the blame and I should probably cut Square some slack, I still think SE was foolish enough to accept such a deal.

I give it 6 months or 1 year at the most. But me being a Wii U owner will never get to play either.

[Radiance64 7,053]

Eh, moneyhatting, what can you do.

This is in no way a new thing though, I believe it's coming to other platforms anyway after a while and it isn't even the biggest game coming. Whatevs.

I enjoyed the Tomb Raider reboot, I really loved the improvements that were made on the PS4, but I still prefer Uncharted.

 

If Microsoft releases the game through PC and not PS4, I have no problem with this, I'll just get it through a Steam Sale. If it isn't released on PC, oh well.

 

Thankfully Dead Rising 3 will be released on PC next month so I don't have to buy an Xbox One just to play it .

Everytime that they have to make the game for multiple systems it costs money. They are doing this cause Microsoft and it saves money.

I really think it should be made clear, possibly in the OP, that it's a timed exclusive.

Looks like Jim had something to say on the subject

Hey hey, it's not really all Microsoft's fault here. Crystal Dynamics has more fault here.

[Sir Hugsalot 9,350]

All this "exclusive" thing is horribly annoying, no matter which platform it is about. Consoles can have keyboard connected to them (at least that's what I was told) so it could be possible to even run MMO games on them and I am sure that all the PS/Xbox exclusives would run on PC without any problems. In the very end this strategy is problematic for gamers, it causes those stupid gaming platform wars or simply isolates fans from their favourite franchises. I love Tomb Raider and played almost every Tomb Raider released so far, for me it is just wrong on many levels, it is a slap against PC and PS owners and for me sounds like typical Microsoft tactic to get more people to buy their console. 

 

Just... no, I am NOT ok with that. But I am not ok with any exclusive at all. I've played Uncharted on PS3 and it would work on PC without slightest problems and I am sure PC gamers would love it. Because that game indeed is awesome.

@,

 

...It's a timed exclusive now. I seriously can't get that people who are this upset about it don't know this now...

I hate the new Tomb Raider games. Overdramatic nonsense of survival. It was all about fun exploration and weapons until Square Enix messed it up. I'll take any fun from the older climb and think where to go next anytime

 

It wouldn't surprise me if they got the idea from this guy. Next thing you know Lara Croft might have an entire game about breast cancer.

You know, even if this wasn't timed exclusive, I honestly don't see the big deal here. On no, it would have been an exclusive sequel, so what. That has happened a lot in the past. Anyone remember MGS4? It was PS3 only, during a time when the PS3 was struggling immensely. Yet it was exclusive, nobody cared. They just praised Sony for it.

 

It is timed anyways so whatever. It is just how business goes. ANOTHER THING: To all who are hating MS and the Xbox One because of this, that is fairly dumb. All MS did was make an offer and CD took it. Blame CD, not MS. I own an Xbox One and enjoy it a lot but I have no interest in this game.

[Washougal_Otaku 1,020]

Honestly, I thought that the franchise as a whole has been tanking since CD obtained it from Core.  1 and 4 were awesome, with 3 and 5 being good, and 2 being alright (as far as sequels go).  I haven't been too impressed since, and I absolutely HATED the anniversary remake.  While I still buy the games, I haven't even touched the latest one (mainly because it's a collector's version).
