>Microsoft throws money at people to get this game as a timed exclusive
>Game launches on the same fucking day as Fallout 4
>Havn't heard shit about it since it got announced, no buzz, no hype, no excitement
>Only reason I even know the launch date is because I was receiving it at work
Microsoft really screwed the pooch on this one.
Wow yeah this is legitimately the first time i'm hearing about this.
>>315606390
I know a few people who are buying it. I'm not one of them, but I may pick it up at some point when it's a little cheaper. The point is just because you didn't know shit about it doesn't mean other people don't. It'll be a popular game over the holidays.
Microsoft's solution is always to just throw money at it.
>releasing a game on the same day as something as big as Fallout
Microsoft taking tips from that hunting game?
Should have done a crossover with Fallout 4. If you have Tomb Raider on Xbone you get Lara clothing and a bow weapon on Fallout 4, and if you have Fallout 4 on Xbone you get a vault dweller skin for Lara in Tomb Raider.
>>315606587
It has 0 preorders at the store, FO4 has 27.
>>315606702
I never really thought normies cared about Fallout but apparently they do now.
>Its coming out on the same day as Fallout 4
>And not a week after COD BLOPS 3
>No advertising at all that it's coming
>It's an XBone exclusive
You couldn't have set this up to be a bigger flop if you tried.
>>315606863
Bethesda is as normie as it gets. Skyrim sold Call of Duty numbers or more.
>>315606961
God, I hope it flops.
It'll serve them right for being fucking jews and taking money from Microsoft to be an exclusive title.
>>315606654
>But it's ok when Sony does it!
>>315606863
it's an AAA game from the makers of Skyrim... you'd have to be dumb to think that won't be eaten up like cake
>>315607264
Did Sony moneyhat any former multiplatforms into exclusives?
>>315606390
>>Game launches on the same fucking day as Fallout 4
Yeah I'm not really sure why the hell they would do this and why publishers do this in general.
Remember when Rayman Legends and the Wonderful 101 both came out during the same month as GTAV?
>>315607264
Why do insecure xboners feel they need to bash another company when someone speaks ill of their shit tier power house?
>>315607264
Sony actually cares about video games and it's fans and not on just how to exploit it all like Microsoft or Nintendo.
>>315607328
I really can't think of a single one. Nier maybe? But I don't know if that was moneyhatted. I don't think Sony would pay for that.
>most sales of TR1 were from Europe and on the PS platforms
>Xbone is dead in Europe
>Where's the hype, guise?
If MS thought Yurop would buy Xbones for it then they're up for a surprise.
>>315606390
There's a new Tomb Raider?
>>315607450
It's such a bizarre game to make exclusive anyway. Nobody cares about Tomb Raider. It's a classic, but long dead franchise that was rebooted as a generic cinematic third person shooter. Those come out every single month.
>>315606390
Microsoft paid for it so they could directly compete with Uncharted 4 which was supposed to come out right around now.
>>315607524
Microsoft felt like they needed an Uncharted in their lineup.
>>315607112
reboot of the reboot?
no more rape victim mutt lord? back to awesome posh brit lara with bigger tatas and her trademark weapon isnt the faggoty bow that hollywood loves so much for gurl power?
>>315607418
It's a niche Japanese game. Making an Xbone version would be fucking retarded because they simply don't sell on it. Just look at the sales splits of FF Type-0.
>new tomb raider is uncharted with a girl
>uncharted is tomb raider with a man
>>315607328
>>315607418
What Sony typically does is hire a really small independent game dev to make games exclusively for them until they grow into one of the biggest AAA developers in the industry, like Naughty Dog.
What Microsoft typically does is buy out a large AAA developer to make games exclusively for them and ultimately hurts the developers until they are a borderline independent game dev forced to make Kinect games.
At least there's one thing Sony does right.. among the plethora of bullshit.
>>315606961
>No advertising at all that it's coming
This game is being marketed HARD. I only watch TV when i wake up, and I've seen it advertised a lot, seen posters, on the side of buses. When you sit at home all day on /v/, you won't see the advertisements
>>315607578
Don't they already have third person shooters in the form of Gears?
How much did they pay for it?
>>315607328
>Street Fighter 5.
>muh strong female
>>315607645
10mil
>>315607524
>Nobody cares about Tomb Raider
>7 mil copies of the last game sold
Ok.
>>315607609
It's kind of funny that Uncharted was originally "inspired" by Tomb Raider and made itself into a power house game that sells consoles, but when it came time for Tomb Raider to get a reboot, they had to be "inspired" by Uncharted.
Same shit happened to Dishonored and Thi4f.
They needed a game that wasnt the usual franchises.
>MFW those commercials that claim the strongest lineup in Xbox history
>Halo, Fable, Forza, Gears
>and Tomb Raider
>>315607669
*Also available on PC
>>315607621
>hire a really small independent game dev to make games exclusively for them until they grow into one of the biggest AAA developers in the industry
Hahaha. Sony literally studio killer.
Either your movie selling well or you are fired.
>>315607823
How well does the Crossplatform even work? Do they use steam servers or something?
>>315606390
dont forget the final nail in the coffin of this dead game is also coming out that same day.
>>315607328
Street Fighter V, Bloodborne, Nier 2, Dragon Quest XI, Shenmue 3. Actually more than Microsoft considering they've been focusing on their first parties a lot more in this gen.
>>315607732
Yeah, it sells. It's a generic third person shooter with a nice name behind it. Everyone buys it and forgets it the next month, across all platforms. But it isn't a system seller.
Why would you moneyhat something that isn't a system seller? Only some rare Tomb Raider fanatic is going to buy an Xbone for this game.
>>315607892
Who the fuck cares about SC2 anymore?
>>315607903
Bloodborn was developed by a Sony studio, in conjunction with the usual Dark Souls people.
They didn't just throw money at it, they also threw a development team at it.
>>315607903
I highly doubt Dragon Quest was paid for by Sony. Has that franchise ever been on Xbox?
I had literally no idea it was releasing with F4.
The first game was a load of crap and this doesn't look like it improved in any way at all, if anything it looks worse in several. At best it's going to rise to the heights of mediocrity.
>>315607328
Heavy Rain was gonna be multiplat until Sony signed on as publisher since the game was getting a lot of buzz when they first showed it off using PS3 hardware. Not a big loss for anyone else though cause Heavy Rain is hilariously bad.
>>315607903
I wish microsoft knew how to use Rare better, the Pirate game looks like shit
>>315607823
*so is this game
*And Dead Rising 3
*And Titanfall
>I-It's ok when Sony d-does it!
>>315607348
>let's launch on the same day as Battlefront instead
>>315608026
Hasn't most of their talent long since left? There is a reason they make shovelware.
>>315607764
2013s Tomb Raider is nothing like Uncharted though
>>315608059
They could still half ass some Banjo sequel and maybe get some old talent to work with them
>>315607328
>Dark Souls 1&2 multiplat
>Bloodborne PS4 exclusive
>>315607981
Bloodborne is another Souls rehash. So much that they're using the same assets on DSIII.
>>315607903
>Street Fighter V
Is also on PC, so it's not an exclusive.
>Bloodborne
Completely original IP. It's not Dark Souls 3 because Dark Souls 3 is multiplat
>Nier 2
Nobody gave a shit about Nier until Sony breathed life into it
>Dragon Quest XI
Also coming to the 3DS, so it's not an exclusive
>Shenmue 3
Again, if it wasn't for Sony, Shenmue 3 wouldn't even be a thing. Sony is publishing it and helping to finance it.
Tomb Raider (2013) sold pretty well and had no excuse to become an exclusive.
>>315608158
Please no. Let Banjo rest in peace.
>>315608209
>Nobody gave a shit about Nier until Sony breathed life into it
What? What did Sony do?
>>315608176
Atleast DS3 will look good unlike DS2
>>315608072
I disagree with you there. It has the crap cover based gameplay and weirdly stiff auto-platforming.
However Uncharted took a lot of things from the classic TR that made it better. They've got the gorgeous, varied locales, the exciting plotlines and even through in a few likeable characters for good measure.
There's a lot wrong with Uncharted but it's a lot better than 2013, which adopted only its worth bits.
not only, iirc it was supposed to be released early 2016 for pc and late 2016 for ps4, competing with other SE titles (MD, hitman) on pc and uncharted ffxv on ps4. they dont even want to try to sell xbones since its on 360 as well
>>315608054
They could always, you know, not launch during November at all. Why not December or January or February?
>>315608209
>>Nier 2
Not a exclusive.
>Shenmue 3
Not a exclusive.
>and helping to finance it.
>Shenmue 3
Just lie.
>>315608268
TR's target audience doesn't overlap with any of those games.
>>315608321
Are there any games even launching in December?
>>315608036
>Dead Rising was originally an Xbox 360 exclusive, so it makes sense that Dead Rising 3 be an xbone exclusive
>Titanfall was a completely new IP
Try harder.
>>315608209
Good thing Tomb Raider isn't an exclusive then.
>tfw another poster that replies me with a " It's ok when Sony does it"
>>315608352
Xenoblade, but that's a Wii U game.
>>315606863
>literally a skyrim reskin
>not normie
>>315608321
Because MS needs to move consoles and the holidays are the best time to do it. 5M+ selling games don't release in Jan or Feb.
>>315608360
I'm having an hard time finding money hatted exclusives for the XB1. Besides those three what else there is?
>>315608209
>no excuse to become an exclusive
I can think of $10 million reasons.
That and it still sold below Sqaure's expectations.
>>315608360
Titanfall was something Microsoft bought, it was gonna be multiplat but they had budget issues and Microsoft paid for it. They ended uo regretting it and any Titanfall sequels are likely to be multiplat. Credit where its due though, Titanfall 2 probably wont even happen ifMicrosoft never funded the first game.
Other than Halo 5 which just hit, is this the first current gen, AAA platform exclusive for Xbone? I own one and genuinely am not sure, but I think this might be the case.
>>315607903
>Street Fighter V
PS4/PC; always been a PS-focused franchise
>Dragon Quest XI
PS4/3DS
>Bloodborne
It's spiritual predecessor Demon's Souls was PS3 exclusive. Also co-developed by Sony.
>Nier 2
All Taro's games except one were PS exclusives; Japanese RPGs sell like shit on the Xbone.
>Shenmue 3
PS4/PC; was dead an buried for a decade.
Have any non-retarded examples?
>>315607732
Being half off does wonders for sales.
>>315608457
You think anyone is going to buy an Xbone for Tomb Raider? The people already owning one will buy the game, sure, as would PlayStation and PC players if the game had been multiplatform, but I can't see more than handful buying an Xbone over a PS4 because it has Tomb Raider.
My xbox one broke so I'm giving away my games if anyone wants them. Just call or text me.912464136five
>>315606785
GET OUT YOU FUCKING NORMIE!!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>Xbone eclusive
That's why.
>>315608517
Do you have any examples that fit your narrative for the Xbox? Even Tomb Raider is a multiplat.
>>315608513
I guess, unless MS decides to push Windows 10 more and ports it to PC
>>315608352
just cause 3 december 1. it has already gone gold though, they're just trying not to clash with the other AAA releasing in november
>>315608492
Microsoft probably owns title rights now. It's just like Demon's Souls. We'll never see a sequel.
>>315608492
Titan fall is published by EA who famously issued a black cheque to the CoD guys to make it, what the fuck are you talking about.
>>315608491
>I can think of $10 million reasons.
>missing sales on every other platform increases revenue
ayy lmao
>>315608329
Nier Automata is exclusive just like Ni-Oh, Sony confirmed it later.
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/10/29/the-full-story-behind-nier-automata-on-ps4/
>Earlier in the year at E3, we unveiled a brand new game in the Nier franchise coming exclusively to PS4 in 2016. Today, we’re proud to unveil not only the official title of the game but also first ever gameplay footage

Lmao, another idiot who fell for that.
>>315608572
its only timed exclusive, and releses on x360 as well
>>315608536
I think anyone would look at Xbone and see it has one more game PS4 doesn't and think that's worth it because people like TR/Xbox/Or xbox games and they need one more reason to move from their 360.
>>315608656
>in 2016
So the game might come out for other platforms in 2017.
>>315608656
>Well if you want to be pedantic it’s PS4 exclusive for the time being. We always look at other platforms and feasibility to release on those platforms with all of our games but i don’t think we should talk about that on the PS Blog :P
>For now Nier: Automata is only confirmed for PS4
What the fuck does that mean then?
>>315608808
It means a PC/Xbone port is possible down the line. Sony hasn't moneyhatted the game into exclusivity so Square could change their mind later.
>>315608763
its releasing on 360 as well
>>315608591
What narrative? I said nothing about the Xbox ITT.
But if you insist: Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean 4, The Last Remnant (basically a SaGa game), Ace Combat 6 were all PS/multiplat franchises that MS moneyhatted and made X360 exclusive. The games sold like shit, some had to be ported to PS/PC later, and it nearly killed off both Star Ocean and Ace Combat.
>>315609069
Yea, so is BO3. They ain't gonna sell well there.
>>315606390
It's coming to PS4 with 30% price cut. Feel bad for Xbox owners who buy this day one.
>>315608492
Same thing with street fighter 5. Microsoft could fund their own version, but they rather not.
>>315609240
I'd guess the PS4 version in 2016 will be a GOTY edition with DLC or whatever. So it'll still be full price. I'd still rather play it the same day as Xbros get it.
>FALLOUT 4-3DM [CPUL]
Get hype
>>315608745
They should've went full. Why even pay extra for some timed bullshit?
>>315609432
It's coming at the same time as Uncharted. No PS4 owner will be bothered to get TR over Uncharted if it's full price.
>>315606390
If this generic turd gets reviewed as well as the reboot, I'm done.
>>315609603
Uncharted is March. Rise is Q4 2016.
>>315608808
It means they go where the money is and the other platforms don't look like a profit.
At least if they wait two years to put it on PC it increases the chance of a person buying it a second time at full price.
>>315609471
>3DM
look i don't want to be the "lol enjoy your bitcoin miner" guy but i thought /v/ knew better than using releases of a group with a history of packing malicious shit in their cracks
>>315610060
>implying it is even legit
I went to kat.cr and got a release group from another game and just changed the name.
>>315609479
It's probably because Square Enix isn't retarded enough to not put the game on the console that has twice as many players as the xbone. Timed exclusive is probably the best that MS could get from Squeenix.
It's still going to have better graphics, story and gameplay than Fallout 4. Word of mouth will hype it up for next year when it on platforms that are actually relevant. That's also when they are going to blow their marketing budget. Why would they waste it on the handful of xbone owners?
>>315609479
Cause that's all that matters. PS4/X1 sales for Rise won't be proportional to the install bases. It'll be an old game when it hits PS4 a year later.
>>315608167
>conveniently forgets Demons souls
of course.
>>315610284
And not everyone wants to play Fallout.
>>315606390
>>Game launches on the same fucking day as Fallout 4
What's the logic behind this? Why do they all try to release biig games in novemember when it hurts them because everybody can only buy a few games in any time of year and thye will want to play the one they like best, IE: usually CoD.
Wouldn't it make more sense to release during times when nothing else big is coming out?
>>315611139
Because people open up their wallets during the holidays and that's when casuals buy shit.
>>315611139
Because publishers think people still give a shit about Christmas.
>>315611139
Kids get games for christmas. Gaming is for kids.
>>315608513
Halo 2 Anniversary's multiplayer is technically a new game, as it's not just running on the original halo 2 engine like the SP is, but is a brand new thing that's just set up to emulate how halo 2 played with some new improvements.
So you could argue that MCC was technically that.
>>315611375
>changing shit because it's too fucking hard to just leave it the way it was
343 everybody.
>>315611253
>>315611276
>>315611360
But that's dumb even if you thnk like that, the majority of people who buy your game are people who go out of their way to buy it and that want it, it wouldn't matter what time of year it comes out...
...or do people who just randomly grab games off the shelf make up a larger % of people then I thought?
>>315606841
>putting anything up against normie hype :the game
>>315611523
No, it does. For instance, if they released Rise in January after everyone bought their holiday shit, they wouldn't have money for it. They would've bought whatever else was getting shoved in their faces at the stores and on TV. Aside from that, it must be 75% of buyers don't know shit of a game besides what they see in a commercial or ad. It's why 30% of people ever finish a game. The people who care about games aren't a quarter who buy them.
>>315608517
>Street Fighter
>PS focused franchise
On which planet do you live?
>>315611492
The original multiplayer is also there, though. It has
> Halo CE SP + anniversary graphics (visual/audio update only, + new optional modifiers)
> Halo 2 SP + anniversary graphics (visual/audio update only, + new optional modifiers)
> Halo 3 SP
> Halo 4 SP
> Halo CE MP
> Halo 2 MP
> Halo 2A MP (New engine entirely/with some tweaks/improvements/additions)
> Halo 3 MP
Though everything runs at a higher resolution/framerate (1080p 60fps) regardless. Actually I think the new graphics for 2's SP runs at like 900p but it uses some fancy horizontal interpolation shit, but it's like impossible to tell.
>Game launches on the same fucking day as Fallout 4
