It'll fail to sell just like Dead Rising 3, Titanfall and Ryse. They will then make a 'Definitive Edition' for PC a year later.

How stupid do you have to be to make an exclusive deal with Microsoft when the PS4 is the leading console?

It didn't work for Ryse
It didn't work for Dead Rising 3
It didn't work for Titanfall

Jesus Christ, how much money is Microsoft throwing at these people?
>>
I somewhat enjoyed the first one but its certainly not good enough to go out and buy a console for the sequel. They're not going to gain anything by this. It isn't a "system seller." A system seller would be buying Battlefield or CoD. They have to know that. But they're either cheap or Activision/EA aren't selling

Tears? Over what? The first game was boring with an intolerably poorly written story and characters. Mary Sue bullshit out the ass. And it didn't even sell well.

Lara croft hardcore fans are butt sore to the moon and beyond. Some are talking about boicotting SE and are organizing a shut down on fan sites and whatnot. Pretty funny shit to read, kind of sad too, I have great memories of playing the old LC on my PS1, but never been a fan per se.

Not smart at all. Sales data from the previous game shows it sold far better on PS3 and PS4 than 360 and Xbone. But even for people who liked it, it's hardly something worth buying a console for. Especially since Ryse, Dead Rising 3, and Halo Master Chief Collection are all coming to PC.

Tomb Raider apparently undersold. It doesn't matter if it sold like 4 million copies, success is relative to budget. If Microsoft is funding this thing, then lost sales is no skin off the developer's teeth. The publisher is taking the hit on this thing, and Microsoft has demonstrated long ago that they're willing to make losses in order to establish a presence in the video game market. This is the way the whole exclusivity game is played. Microsoft is most definitely not in the lead, and they're not going to take a loss lying down. There are probably people in that division who are very scared of what Microsoft wants to do with it, and they need to do everything they can to get back into the console race.

Who knows, this might be another situation like Bayonetta 2 where they just couldn't find the funding for it until they agreed to exclusivity and it wouldn't have existed otherwise. People are so caught up in the Tomb Raider reboot's "success" in the shallowest of ways, without realizing that Squeenix weren't really given the incentive to further support it. If it fell below their expectations, it fell below their expectations.

I've owned every Tomb raider game to date, and i don't really care, The reboot was fun, albeit grey as fuck i couldn't control my dick at those death moans though but wasn't a TR game, Guardians of Light was the first breathe of life i'd felt in the game since underworld was fun but it felt like it was heading in that "we've done this before" kinda light so i'll be getting Temple of Osiris and maybe pirate this if it comes to PC
>>
They said Tomb Raider sold 7 million copies. I reckon that's pretty good when most reboots of games are completely shit.

I have an Xbone, and I don't really care for a PS4, but this is the classic example of a great multiplatform game. It's pretty shitty how Microsoft bought the rights to it.

The quote from Crystal Dynamics was textbook PR. Said something like "In order to make this game rise to the top of the action/adventure genre of games, we decided to partner with Microsoft because they believe in our direction"

What kind of bullshit is that. Unless MS is giving up the cash they would have made from PS4 owners, console exclusivity isn't gonna make it rise to the top of the action adventure genre.


It doesn't affect me, but it's a pretty shit move.

How is Bloodborne a money hat?

It's literally the same situation as Demon Souls. It's being developed in collaboration with JAPANstudios. This isn't a money hat, Sony is actively involved in its development.

A money hat would be taking a game already announce and paying for exclusivity rights.

Bayonetta 2 is not a money hat
Bloodborne is not a money hat
Scalebound is not a money hat

>>257598861
Demon's Souls was just a prototype for their much grander and vastly superior vision in Dark Souls. There are just as many fans of the game on Xbox and PC, so it makes no sense to make it exclusive to the PS4 unless From hates money.

That's not a moneyhat. It's a first party exclusive, Sony themselves are co-developing. A moneyhat is taking a multiplatform game and then paying the developer for "exclusivity". This Tomb Raider deal is a moneyhat. Or is Sony somehow bought exclusive rights from EA for Madden or some shit.

Bloodborne is like Bayo 2, it was funded by Sony. The game would have existed without Sony (probably something else, most likely multiplatform, would have taken its place).
According to the LC fans, Rise of the Tomb Raider was already well developed when MS deal came into scene, I haven't followed the game because I really don't care enough, but it wouldn't be the same scenario like Bayo or Bloodborne.

In which ways, exactly?

TR2013 was an inferior clone of Uncharted, even Uncharted 3 was better than that.

TR2013 was a grimdark qte infested turd with bad graphics, clunky animations, shitty set pieces and unlikeable characters. Not to mention the multiplayer in UC2 (dat game mode where you have to get the idol, oh man) and 3 is pretty fucking fun, in TR it was tacked on shit that nobody played (and for good reason).

This is actually a little upsetting. I really loved the '13 reboot.

I'm currently Wii One/PC master race and didn't even bother with the last tomb raider. It looks as boring and low difficulty as Uncharted. Sorry Tomb Raider Sonyggers.

Here is the thing those. None of those games have yet to appear on Sony consoles yet. Titanfall 2 will have to be made for it to be on Sony consoles.

So I wonder what contract is like for Tomb Raider

A scriptastic Third Person Shooter™ masquerading as a Tomb Raider™ game, complete with Casual Vision™, pointless XP™, "cinematic" setpieces, pulping & visceral melee finishing moves, godawful, pretentious story, mind-numbing voicework and 2 minute long tombs - and now the long awaited™ sequel to this critically acclaimed™ game is backed by Microsoft.

This couldn't get any better.

Oh wait it could. Here's a snippet from the description of Rise of the Tomb Raider™ (seriously a 12-year-old could come up with something snappier): "Follow the world's most famous adventurer as she travels the globe, discovering what it means to be a Croft. Haunted by the memories of the island of Yamatai, Lara must face new challenges, new terrors and new mysteries in order to truly become who she's meant to be: the Tomb Raider."
>what it means to be a Croft
Apparently it means you are fucking indestructible, if we look at the first game
>who she's meant to be: the Tomb Raider
Seriously.

Crystal Dynamics is finished. RIP Lara, once a lady, now a whore.

Sony sold their shares in square enix recently, if that's any indication of how little they have the real ability to do that.

The tomb raider reveal at E3 MS conference never really stated a platform or a release date, MS were likely greasing up the finalities of the deal at that point.

You're the one who obviously can't read. "Exclusive through 2015" is not equal to "exclusive for one year" since this game does not come out this year or in January. I can't tell whether you're just an underage high schooler or a third worlder, but either way, get an education you fucking retard.

Gaming journalists praised the hell out of it (surprise surprise) and it's generally seen as a competent, if not kinda generic game. I played it when I had free PS+ and I can't really describe it as anything but "resoundingly okay".

PC and console are on completely different planes at this point. Consoles exist for the AAA games and mass market.

Having more big games isn't a bad thing, assuming things aren't too crowded already. Microsoft has an incentive to take a game away from Sony and Squenix knows they're going to lose sales to Uncharted anyway, so they can make up some of that money through an exclusivity contract with MS and release the 1080p edition on PS4 a few months later.

I just built my gaming PC and am playing Tomb Raider as one of the three free games that I got with my video card.

It's actually pretty fun. I wouldn't put it above Uncharted 2, but it's miles better than the poorly-strung-together mess where you can survive a grenade to the face that was Uncharted 3.

Also, I hate third wave feminists as much as anybody (I don't believe that anyone who's intelligent and after gender equality will throw themselves under the banner of a movement that's named after one of the two genders; you can't gain gender equality by gearing your efforts towards the perspective of a certain type of woman over everyone else), but I haven't gotten that vibe from it at all.
