>>319405054

just because it will have niche games doesn't mean it's not normie. because the 20 million normies will buy the same multiplats the xbox has and ignore the rest.
>>
That's because they did literally everything wrong when it came to releasing it.

>Exclusive to Xbox One
>Announced that it was only a timed exclusive prior to release, so people who didn't want to get an Xbox One knew they could just wait for it to come out on everything else
>Not that much promotion for a major AAA game
>Released on the same day as Fallout 4, which was bound to completely dominate sales/discussions

Its sales were like, Wonderful 101 tier. Which is kind of a shame I guess, since apparently it's a pretty big improvement on 2013 and generally a good game if you don't mind the whole Uncharted Raider style. All I can say is MS better have given them a LOT of money to make that worthwhile.

>>
>>319404283
Wait, this has been released? :^)
>>
>>319405232
I don't understand the point of timed exclusives. Wouldn't people understand that they can just wait for it to come out on other systems instead of shelling out the several hundred dollars needed for an Xbone just to play one game?I mean, a normal exclusive I can understand, since that's permanently on your system (at least until pcfags can emulate).

Someone explain pls.
>>
>>319405308
Why are you so angry?
>>
>>319404283
>>
>>319405382
Because they weren't open about it being timed until they got pressed about it. People thought MS had bought the rights to make it a legit exclusive originally, which is why they chimped out so badly.
>>
It will outsell it's Xbone numbers on Ps4 when it releases next year.

Tomb Raider 2013 sold WORST on 360 and XBONE, I don't know what Microsoft were thinking, other than a blind attempt to compete with Uncharted 4 (which got delayed anyway)
>>
>>319405921

it's nothing new. sony does this all the time. FF7 is coming first on ps4, remember?
>>
>>319404283
It's funny, I've heard no discussion of this game whatsoever. Is it because it's Xbone exclusive?Did anyove even play this?
>>
>>319407145

i did. it's fun. bigger than 2013. prettier than 2013.much more worth the 60 compared to 2013.

sue me
>>
>>319404396
They had no other options, It kinda sucks for them.
MS would have made the deal so they had something of similar nature to battle Unharted 4 for the holidays, but then Uncharted 4 was delayed to next year.

So they could let it ride and just have it go up against fallout, or keep it back till next year.
The problem with keeping it till next year is they will probably be giving up some sales, cause they wouldn't wait till Uncharted is out in March, thats to long to hold a game back for no reason, so they would have released it in January or Feburary, which is right after the holiday sales rush and right in when people aren't buying much stuff.

I honestly feel like the exclusivity deal will backfire for them, xbone sales were probably ok but nothing amazing, it has a chance to get another spike in sales when it comes out on ps4 at the end of next year, but then its got ps4 exclusives to deal with like Horizon Zero Dawn and NiOh which I'm assuming will be out then, not to mention the countless new multiplats that will be out.
>>
>>319405054
It IS the normie console.

It just also happens to be the weeb console, which leaves the xbone in a rather awkward position as it really doesn't have its own label now.
I mean it can still be considered a dudebro console I guess, but the fucking ps4 even stole CoD away from it, I mean shit, what does it have left for itself to identify as besides maybe a Halo-Box.
>>
>>319404670
The Devs backed the horse before it fell in a ditch and broke its leg.
And by that time it was to late pull out of the deal, they'll just have till wait till the contracts up and they can put their jokey on a new horse.
>>
>>319407015
Yeah but that reasonable, because while it was on other platforms its remembered as a playstation game.

Tomb Raider before the reboot was a series I associated more with playstation, and the reboot even sold better on playstation.

So no doubt MS gave them a truck of money and they thought it would be fine, but then MS decided to step in a bear trap before the race began and has been limping behind ever since.
>>
>>319407145
I haven't heard much, but what I have heard has always been positive, kinda feel bad for the devs but whatever, it'll get a resurgence once its on ps4.

They are going to make so much money when tomb raider comes to ps4.

honestly, it's a very good game. Feels very much like Tomb Raider Anniversary/Tomb Raider Legend. An absolute upgrade on everything TR2013 did

Just because SE is completely retarded by a) releasing it xbone exclusive and b) releasing it same week as Battlefront and Fallout 4, the sales will be abysmal

Well he isn't lying. No one bought this game and no one gives a fuck about it. If it had xbone exclusivity for say a month it might have done better. But one whole year? No one will give a fuck next year either. They will see it for $20 on xbone and $60 on ps4 and wonder whats the point.

He resized it or something, you can save .pngs from the Xbox site. It does render at 1920x1080 but it does use lower resolution particle buffers and other shit like a lot of PS3 games did. Also has some parts that look truly horrible due to an effect not dissimilar to TLOU's radiosity effect. Basically makes everything that isn't well lit look low-res as fuck.

Overall the game looks bretty good tho
