Is this all you think about?

I don't think so. Wouldn't really make sense if the xbone version isn't.

Uhm... no. But I did think about it. Prob?

But they can. They can pls it on PC, 360 or Xbox One. Most would own at least one of those.
Kind of a mixed bag for me. On one hand I was expecting a summer release for both PC and PS4 and so I'm glad the PC is earlier than I had thought. But on the other hand I'm a little annoyed the PS4 is so late.
I loved the first game so now the decision is do I get the likely gimped XB1 version or wait for PC and perhaps double dip on PS4 much later.
I think I may put both XB1 and 360 in my Gamefly list and then wait to buy when it lands on PC. Assuming it doesn't come out and disappoint obviously.

Yep. I'd wager much like ME2, where the PS3 version came with all the DLC. Hopefully there'll be some visual enhancements as well. I won't be buying it at full price though.

I'll bet you can't wait.

Perfect time to capitalize on Black Friday Xbox One sales (watch MS release a Tomb Raider bundle) and once those sales die down, the PC port comes out four months later. PS4 version is just MS being salty, one year later to coincide with a GOTY edition release for the Xbox One.
I thought I read it was. Must be thinking about the new Fable maybe?
It's going to be the first DX12 game where we'll hopefully see a CPU performance uptick, of course I can't wait!
Well, I thought we were at least.. seems I was wrong about DX 12
BennyBlanco

Yeah, the new Fable is the first dx12 game I think. Game looks like dog shit but I'll try it out just for that.

Why would PS4 only users disappointed by this news?
Don't they have Uncharted 4 already for early 2016? If I were one, I would be totally fine with this.

Ask them for the lottery numbers next week, will you?
I think they both come out in the fall. I think Sony wants this 2016 fall to be heavy on exclusives after hearing all the moaning and groaning for 3 fall's that they don't have any exclusive games.
Still sucks though. The game should be coming out on all platforms at once. Moneyhatting like this is lame.

So stupid question, but this game won't require Windows 10 will it?
I have an Xbox One, but that doesn't mean I want the industry to make this practice normalized and acceptable.
As a Tomb Raider fan, I also think it's not a smart decision to make the series more successful and popular.
I'm fine with the news though I have a 360 so I can play it on there. I thought most users on here had PC's they could play it on?

Square Enix is going to regret this, unless Microsoft is paying them enough to compensate for all the ps4 owners who will pass on this because of how late it's coming.
BennyBlanco

They said it's coming to Steam specifically, so no.
^ This. Most people who care enough about games to post on GAF have PCs.
Well, they would have had this prior to UC4 otherwise.
There is no deal without that.
Yeah, not a fan of the series. Will just keep an eye out for the analysis.

Good, will get it on Steam if it's not a shit port (which I don't expect). My fall is already packed.
I can't imagine how bad the 360 port will be or how downgraded it will be.
Maybe be worse the LoR: Shadows of Mordor.

It'll probably look like TR 2013 which didn't look that bad also Nixess are known for good ports.
What a dumb statement.

I don't really see why waiting a year would make a good game unappealing. If you're super keen to play the game, and your only avenue is a PS4, why would you NOT buy the game a year after the Xbone release? It's primarily a single player game, and it's not like the gaming landscape is going to change drastically in 1 year and the game will be hopelessly outdated.
I don't know, I guess I don't feel the need to have the absolute newest game these days except in very specific instances (like a multiplayer centric game where the community size is important, or something like a Souls game where it's fun to discover the game at the same time as others)

Well I got bad news for you. Like Sony Santa Monica's new IP, it was cancelled for GoW 4.

I wish these companies would stop with this 3rd party exclusive nonsense. It doesn't benefit the customer in any way. If I want to play the bloody thing I'll have to drag the kid's console down to the front room, piss about with wires, set it all up and clutter up the place. Pain in the arse so it is.

So instead of competing with Uncharted 4 you compete with Mass Effect 4, FFXV, Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc. as a year old port? I don't think avoiding Uncharted again is the reason the deal lasts a year. If so SE is crazy.

Not everyone likes Uncharted...

This kind of practice has been around for years for late PC ports.
That's what I'm talking about.
I thought it's quite similar to Tomb Raider?

RIP Tomb Raider on Playstation. As if anyone will buy a year old port during the holiday season.

It's times like these I'm glad I game PC. Hope MS does this with more "exclusives".
New game syndrome, many a time I've told myself I'll get x game later only be distracted by awesome looking game y, then Z gets announced which snowballs on and on until game x gets put on the perpetual backburner or forgotten.
Indeed not, but maybe they know that they're working on a definitive version of the game to be released during holiday 2016 on multiple platforms including potential DLCs and other advancements. In that case they couldn't justify to release a normal version and the definitive version spaced out by mere months....
Or maybe the deal with MS is for a full year and that's it.
We don't know what's happening behind the scenes so a few things might seem weird.
Point is that whatever is the case their sales on PS4 are compromised, they know that but they did their choices.
Not sure if joking.
This gen has bene the gen of the last gen port. They've sold well, pretty consistently. This will too.

This is first timed exclusive though released late on PS4 though. We have no data on that. I guess technically Plants v Zombies Garden Warfare was the first, but EA had so little confidence in it that it was made free immediately.

Actually I know what you mean! So many games I am interested in that I never got around to trying.
Whaaat? You've got it the wrong way around, the game looks gorgeous, but will probably play mediocre at best.
