not too far away

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Surprise Surprise.

So it'll be (pulling numbers out of my assumption):

November 10th, 2015 for XB1
February 9th, 2016 on PC
November 15th, 2016 on PS4 alongside XB1's GOTY Edition (lol).

[atr0cious]

I think they said this a little too early.

 

[BrokenIcarus]

Eh, not a fan of these kind of business decisions.

 

[Peff]

Well, I hope MS got a refund.

 

[Carl]

No thanks.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Enough time to play Tomb Raider then.

 

[Nyteshade517]

I, for one, am shocked

no I'm not

 

[statham]

1 year console exclusive. who said 6 months?

 

[MayMay]

I can't see a source on the page, except "Square Enix"..


Regardless, if it's true then fuck yeah. PC release is earlier than expected

Edit: Just got the press-release in my email, so it's legit yay.

 

[hwy_61]

Full year! Dayum.

 

[kamineko]

 

[Yurikerr]

One year console exclusivity...that's more than what i thought it would be.

Maybe the ps4 version will be the "Game of the year/Definite" one.

That's the only way they can justify having the game coming 1 year later....

 

[Tizoc]

So are people still not going to get this , like they said during it's E3 reveal, because it was exclusive for the X1?

[quesalupa]

Damn that's pretty long.

 

[chadskin]

Huh. Will get it on PC then.

 

[Flandy]

For some reason I kept thinking that PC would be the same day as Xbone. Guess I'll might pick up the Xbone version then

Edit: Maybe not. Fallout 4 releases on the same day

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Lol this kind of shit is so so petty.

 

[FoneBone]

Didn't think they'd announce this before the Xbox versions shipped. Also surprised they managed to wrangle a full year of console exclusivity; I'd have thought it'd be more like 6 months.

 

[Kriken]

Needs a "Shocking News" in the title

Although TBH, I'm a bit surprised they're putting out the Steam version that soon, thought Steam/PS4 would be the same time for some reason

 

[Krusenstern]

THERE it is!

PC version here I come!

 

[kevin1025]

I'm still going for the Xbox One version, but nice to finally see what the deal is for those that want to play it on PC and PS4.

 

[DNAbro]

shocking. I hope no one was still believing it wasn't coming to ps4.

 

[Kinsella]

Too long to wait. Xbox One version it is.

 

[TomShoe]

1 year console exclusive. who said 6 months?

That was my prediction, and I'll eat that crow :^)

Not sure what's SE plan on releasing PS4 version in Fall 2016, good luck selling it. They should wait till early 2017 if they can't release it earlier.

I'm surprised they're still releasing same day as Fallout 4. I hope they move it by at least a few days.

 

[Primethius]

At least SE manages to avoid UC4 on PS4.

 

[UrbanRats]

Will get the PC version.

Also, there's a good chance the PS4 version will have some sort of extra when it comes out.

 

[RoKKeR]

Further away for the PS4 than I thought, but otherwise to be expected.

 

[Chobel]

Not sure what's SE plan on releasing PS4 version in Fall 2016, good luck selling it. They should wait till early 2017 if they can't release it earlier.

 

[Loudninja]

I doubt many people will be interested a year later.

 

[Matush]

I wonder if it's gonna be 60 on PS4. I would only buy it at full price if it has all the DLCs (Complete edition).

 

[ViewtifulJC]

well that would put them 6 months out of the way of Uncharted 4

 

[Derkon]

1 year for PS4? meh, guess I'll have to get it on PC then(if my PC can even handle it)

 

[dmr87]

IF I play it, it's going to be on the PC. No one will care at the end of 2016.

 

[jacobeid]

As if the game wasn't already being sent to die by releasing the same day as Fallout....

I don't see how SE thought that this strategy would work well for them when they were so unhappy about the first game's (shitload of) sales.

 

[loaf of bread]

I wonder if part of the reason it isn't early 2016 for PS4 is to avoid Uncharted?

 

[Harlequin]

So are people still not going to get this , like they said during it's E3 reveal, because it was exclusive for the X1?

I'm going to buy it used so Square don't get any of my money.

 

[R3TRO]

Nice the PC version isn't too far behind.

 

[JamesAR15]

Guess I will be skipping this one, not gonna wait a year to play this on my platform of choice.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Please use the extra year to have the same frame-rate as Tomb raider DE then

 

[SolidSnakex]

Reminds me of the whole Resident Evil 4 situation where Capcom announced the PS2 version of the game with a timeframe before they even released it on the Gamecube.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

1 year? Haha it better be released at a discounted price.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Insane. A year exclusive. Well played MS, well played.

 

[bombshell]

I'll wait and buy the PS4 version in the bargain bin early 2017. Thank yourselves Square Enix.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

SE better include all DLC for PS4 version or sell it with decent price

 

[calder]

1 year console exclusive. who said 6 months?

I would have guessed 6 months for PS4. Ah well, I'll get it on PC if it's that much earlier.

 

[YianGaruga]

Will pick it up for 20€ in early 2017 then!
