SFV Sony made sure would stay console exclusive, Tomb Raider is not a console exclusive.

So? Ono came to Sony to ask for help not them.

 

[Servbot24]

I doubt many people will be interested a year later.

If it's a good game I'm sure people will want to play it.

 

[MisterR]

People played ff7 who don't give a shit about the rest of the series. It was a big deal in 1997.

Ok, yep. I remember 1997. I played it then. That has no relevance to what I'm talking about.

 

[Roo]

Can definitely wait.
My backlog is huge anyway.

On the subject of FF 13 even at its worse with the PS3 and MS best with the Xbox 360 FF13 still so alot more on the PS3.

I bought FF13 for my PS3 over 360, in the end i lost because FF13 sucked

 

[drak_dreamer]

So, the PS4 version will be the upgraded version with all the DLC.

Thats what I'm hoping. if the ps4 sdk gets an update by then, or optimzation, who knows what can happen

 

[DrunkDan]

Scenes if FF7 remake isn't a year exclusive.

Personally I don't think it's a massive problem. If I'm still interested a year later I'll buy it, if not then SE lost a sale because of a poor decision.

I imagine the FF7 remake will be similar, if it makes it the One at all.

 

[GavinUK86]

A whole year for the PS4? Wow. How early the PC version is will factor in whether I get it for Xbox One or not.

 

[Dinda]

Not happy about that. I'm hoping the year makes it less relevant at release time, because I wouldn't like to support it, but I'll end up buying it knowing me.

A year is a long time graphically.

The good thing is, if you wait a year, you can also just wait 13 months and then get it for a few bucks used, so they (deserverdly) won't see anything from the money

 

[ethomaz]

The whole exclusive thing is to help the console to sell.

Announced that is not exclusive before release will take some of these sales.

So it was a bad move for MS/Xbone... less potential sales.

DX18 is going to be the bees knees.

 

[DieH@rd]

Releasing this same month as fallout4 is stupid stupid move.

Even though they are releasing on the same day, TR is still in the way different genre than F4. They are not targeting the same audience. They are not direct competitors.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Because releasing a game a year late at full price without any incentive will be a hard sell.

Edit: lol, the post above me speaks wisdom.

You're too kind Orthodoxy, but great minds think alike.

 

[Impeccable]

< $10 confirmed.

I doubt it will ever make the One. I'm sure it will come to PC though.

I dont think quality has anything to do with it.

Even for Tomb Raider in the US with 360 having an enormous lead over the PS3, Tomb Raider split was 54% 360 and 46% PS3.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Pretty sure most of Tomb Raider's sales were in Europe which skewed heavily towards PS3.

Ok, well if that's the case, that would make sense. Still, it doesn't change the fact that Xbox players are receptive to a franchise like Tomb Raider. To believe otherwise is nonsense. (not directing the latter portion of this comment at you necessarily).

 

[Lord Kefka]

Apparently from what has been said CD needed the same help...what is your point here?

 

[LAA]

Year exclusivity is quite a lot. Thought it'd be summer.
Probably getting for PC anyway really.

 

[jediyoshi]

The wait begins.

 

[DNAbro]

they pretty much are. They are competing for consumers money and mind share. Fallout 4 is going to be all that any one is talking about.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I'll be waiting. Tomb Raider wasn't good enough to be an instant day one for me and I'll be playing the UCC anyway. Looks like SE dodged one Uncharted and landed in all the others.

Edit: Fallout 4 is on the same day?? Lol.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Fallout 4 is every video game's competition, dude

it's a juggernaut

 

[dottme]

At least I will have the GOTY version directly for my PS4.
No need to resist to the temptation to buy the original version

 

[Chobel]

Why does everyone think the PS4 will have DLC included ?

Why should SE give you all the DLC for free when they could also charge for them.

Because the game won't sell at all without DLC included.

 

[Seanspeed]

I agree with you if that's PS or Nintendo platform. MS? I am not so sure especially FFXIII sold better on PS3 worldwide and better than X360 in US

Selling *better* doesn't mean it didn't sell at all on the other platform. Businesses don't ignore that sort of thing. It still sold decently on the 360.

Some of y'all *really* hoping FFVII doesn't come to XB1 huh? lol

 

[Infernostew]

Apparently from what has been said CD needed the same help...what is your point here?

This has been proven false.

 

[FaintColt388301]

This deal makes no sense to me. A year after is so long. As somebody who owns both but only really wants a ps4 version I don't mind waiting but I won't pay 60 for it.

So what are they going to do? Definitive edition with DLC. But then by doing that they lose out on PS4 DLC money.

But I guess it gives them a way to charge 60 instead whatever cheap price the game would regularly be at. I wonder how much this cost. It's a big deal. Hopefully it pays off.

I'm not picking it up till its cheapppp unless it turns out way better than the first.

 

[EvB]

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

Or what? You'll Grumble on the Internet?

 

[Three]

Why would they say this?

They felt sorry for people like Madness. Wanted to put them out of their misery

Just once you'd wonder if there could be a thread for this game without Sony brought up in some form. There hasn't even been a single announcement of it for PS4 but that doesn't stop you from saying "oh I could've sworn it was 1080p, doesn't matter I'm getting it for PS4."

Why shouldn't I make a big deal out of it? If you ignore instead of rightly drawing attention or calling it out you embolden it to continue. Every single thread for this game has ridiculous port begging or shitting on the Xbox One version and the usual 'I'll get it for PS4' comments, which is nonexistent right now. It's one thing if it's officially announced, but it hasn't been.

I didn't realize speculation and assumption would be considered fact. It's irrelevant what MAY happen. This is a tech thread for the game on the only OFFICIALLY announced version and yet it's disappointing and people will wait for an as yet unannounced version.

Really? Because so far, there is nothing but assumptions and speculation, not facts. Instead people want to come to a tech based thread and shit on the game and it's visual fidelity and talk about unannounced versions that literally don't exist yet and champion a resolution that doesn't exist either. I mean more power to you, but what does that say about any meaningful discourse here then?

What if the patches are also timed exclusive and are staggered with the same delay relative to the platform's release date.

 

[Collateral22]

They should have waited until it released to come out with this. A lot of people, including myself, will probably wait now. Fall 2015 is packed enough as it is.

 

[gamerMan]

Also I highly doubt most ps4 users will care about TR after a year especially coming after uncharted.

The 2 games are completely different. One game is a linear game focused on narrative while Tomb Raider is more open and has a bigger emphasis on gameplay. I thought the previous Tomb Raider was a better game than any of the Uncharted games. The narrative in Tomb Raider was bad but I loved the narrative in the Uncharted games. You play the games for different reasons.

Didn't you see the last MS financial report? MS is going bankrupt. They probably traded this for a few millions discount.

Did anybody say that Xbox players aren't receptive to Tomb Raider? Don't believe I've seen that anywhere in this thread.

I think they are the same audience or atleast there is a very big overlap.

 

[kuroshiki]

Even though they are releasing on the same day, TR is still in the way different genre than F4. They are not targeting the same audience. They are not direct competitors.

They are restricting their audience already by large margin when choosed single platform only for certain time period.

And now they are also releasing the gmae same day as one of the biggest game of the year.

They are not exact same genre for sure but you cant say there isnt any overlapping audience.

This is stupid move no matter how one cuts it. Unless this game is basically free with xbone bundle i dont see this game shines in sales chart.

 

[SirNinja]

PC date is a pleasant surprise. Guess that's the way to go.

I don't think it is impossible for that to happen, but there is definitely much less incentive to have FF7 on XBOne. The Final Fantasy audience didn't really stray from their Playstations last generation when 360 had a huge lead in the US. This generation, Xbox is doing worse everywhere, while Playstation enjoys a small lead in the US, and huge leads elsewhere.

In the case of Tomb Raider, you have this very large European audience who likes the franchise and hasn't bought into Xbox One.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Can you give me a link for this? Because i find it's hilarious MS make sure Titan Fall exclusive but not for TR since CD needed the same help like you said

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

once the PC version hits we will see how bitter I still am.

1) bitterness dies and I buy it on release
2) bitterness extends and I wait until a steam sale
3) bitterness takes control and I wait until a $5 steam sale
4) bitterness conquers and I ignore it for life

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

It will debut on PS4 as part of that month's PS Plus offering!

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

I'm happy to wait. If they want me to buy an XB1 they will need to try a lot harder. I'll play it on PS4 but no way in hell am I paying £50 for it if it's already been out for a year. I'll pick it up second hand.

 

[MisterR]

Yep, everybody agrees it sold Ok on the 360. That has nothing to do with anyone's point in this thread.

 

[Lord Kefka]

This has been proven false.

Even if so what does it matter its great that all consoles and PC will get to play Tomb Raider and its crummy that SFV is locked down on consoles...thats it....or is it cool that Sony did that because well Sony?

Pretty sure Sony turned down helping respawn

 

[Pandora012]

If the 360 version is good, I might go with that. A year is a long damn time, and I don't have money to be buying a new system.

 

[mejin]

Well, I played the first one thanks to PS Plus. It'll be a long year but there'll be a lot to play.

 

[alexbull_uk]

Day one on Xbone for me, but I'll no doubt re-buy on PC at some point, just to experience it at 4K.
