Microsoft Gamescom teaser - August 12 Xbox briefing

Isnt this how business works. Get exclusives to sell your product. Make your product more attractive than the others. People wanna play they can buy an X1
It doesn't mean we should support it. Locking out used games is 'how business works', DRM is 'how business works' and we all stand around and fight that. Your point is obvious but lacks sympathy. Your response shouldn't be 'LMAO LOOK, OMG SALT, SONY FANS, OMG' but 'Well, shit, I'm glad I get to play it but it sucks for people without Xbox Ones'.

That's what I think. It's Tomb Raider for fuck's sake, not Uncharted or Halo. This move sucks for consumers. Also, come on, not many people will buy an Xbox One for Tomb Raider, the game wasn't a smash-hit.
 
It's so incredibly dumb.

Square Enix: "TOMB RAIDER DID NOT MAKE OUR SALES EXPECTATIONS"

"WE SHOULD MAKE THE NEXT GAME EXCLUSIVE TO ONE CONSOLE"

The Gaming Industry.

Maybe it was,

SQ EX: 'TOMB RAIDER DID NOT MAKE OUR SALES EXPECTATIONS. WE WON'T MAKE A SEQUEL'

MS: 'PLEASE DO, WE'LL FUND IT'

SQ EX: 'OK'
 
Actually... Ori looks gorgeous, but I'm not quite convinced by that gameplay, if that's representative of the whole game. That might just be a setpiece, though.
 
Night footage of driving by that town in Horizon 2...holy shit

Buying an xbox when this game comes out.


Also, the salt in this thread...come on guys, what the fuck.
 
It's the usual predictable responses:

A: M$ Moneyhats!!!
B: Wait for the PC/PS4 version it will be better
C: M$ Sucks!
D: Crystal Dynamics Sucks!
E: All of the above
 
Wow. I'm speechless after watching that. Easily one of the most beautiful games of this gen, and the production values are insane for an indie game. Holy shit.
 
if Sony do it, it is bullshit too. I'm an equal opportunity cynic.

I don't care if DLC/60 extra exclusive minute nonsense is exclusive - that isn't the core experience and doensn't directly affect me too much.


I myself can only strive to be an equal opportunities cynic. You are doing gods work, my son.
 
Well... Microsoft couldn't make their own Uncharted so they bought one. It makes a kinda weird fucked up sense.

Yeah that's basically what they did. Except I don't think Square Enix got the good end of the deal here unless MS seriously threw enough money at them to the point where SqueEnix doesn't even have to care.

It's seriously incredible bullshit. This isn't even remotely the same as Destiny's exclusive bullshit on Playstation. XBone owners can at least still play Destiny. PC and PS4 owners can't even play the next Tomb Raider unless they want to spend an extra $399-499. They somehow found a way to even screw over a neutral platform.
 
I think it is a great move by Crystal Dynamics. Obviously Microsoft made them an offer they couldn't refuse.

for Square, surely? Do CD get any say in this? I expect they'd be pissed that less people will get to play it. Unless this was genuinely the only way this game would have gotten green-lit, which I doubt as it was already announced at E3 with none of this exclusive talk
