ND's brand has gotten bigger after TLOu too, and UC games sokd pretty great 5-6 million+ on one console. It's not going to be remotely close in numbers or quality.
By the time UC4 comes out the PS should be close to 20 million sold.
I would also like him to name the last time a game was announced for other platforms then was bought by Sony and those other releases did not happen.
People crying about PS bias are being ridiculous; this game was announced for other platforms including PC and that is now (apparently?) not happening. Accusing people of being bitter Sony fans because a game they had announced for their system and were taking pre-orders for being cancelled because of blatant moneyhats is completely absurd in this situation.

I will probably be buying Uncharted 4 when this comes out anyway, so it's no big loss for me. This is pretty surprising though, I wonder if the money from Microsoft is more than they would have made from PS4/PS3 sales...I can't imagine it is.

Never thought I would see video games compared to the fucking mafia.

Now I'll not buying definitive edition (no big lose for them I know, but I'm not only one). I want to jump in TR universe, but this is really repels me.
Bloodborne is co-developed with Sony and this is new IP.

I'm normally pretty neutral to these things if there is at least a slight chance that it's actual funding that made the project possible to begin with (I would even put Titanfall into this category) but if the moneyhatting is so obvious like in this case all parties involved lose lots of points in my book. There are no winners, even Xbone owners lose here because this money should have gone into projects that actually need funding.
What?
Bloodborne is a new IP. It's more equivalent to Sunset Overdrive.

Whereas I'm disappointed TR is going to be an Xbox One exclusive (PS4 owner here), I'm still failing to see why this decision was made? TR won't necessarily push or sell consoles.

Based on the way it's worded, we can safely assume that it is.

Literally paying to get a game off other systems is anti-consumer. what don't you get?

I don't see how this is going to move consoles, or convert PlayStation gamers. If you gave a PS4 gamer the choice between UC4 and RotTR, they'd pick UC4 every time.
SE, after selling 7 million copies of Tomb Raider, decides to slash their sequel sales in half for an exclusivity deal. It just baffles me.

Lol, I was about to say, didn't they do this at some point?
This is also true.

No he said that about QB too
Show me a case where Sony money hatted a game that was in series that has been multi platform for a solid decade and had sold more on a competitor's console.

Yes, Sony Studios is co-developing it, not buying it out.

It only confuses me because Square was complaining about the sales of the last game, not to mention it sold the least copies on Xbox One. That rambling statement didnt really explain anything either.

Yes, Bllodbourne is a new IP created for Sony on behalf of a third party studio (Sony owns the IP).
This is a third party IP that has been on other consoles and PC in the past, MS and Square have seen fit to restrict the IP to a single platform.
Doesn't that make kind of sense? Instead of hoping that it will do better this time they just share the development cost with MS. MS will probably not profit much, but square most definitely will.
Exactly my thought on this.
Coming to all platforms.
Haze? (lol)

Oh i see now. Exclusively on Xbox for 2015 holiday. Multiplat in march 2016 I bet.
Still...

No shits given.
well to be fair, bloodborne wasn't announced to be multiplatform at first then exclusive several months later, and it isn't like a franchise that has been on everything for several years
This just completely ruined my day. I have been a fan and supporter of Crystal Dynamics since the first Soul Reaver, and they just slapped me in the face with a steel rod.
This was my most anticipated game for 2015, and now even if I get an XB1 and play the game there will always be the feeling that the game I am getting is a lesser version of what I could have had on the PS4 or PC. I am truly stunned and incredibly unhappy about this.

Wait, you're laughing at him for not supoorting scummy business? I'm doing the exact same thing. Don't see what's so hilarious about it
Why must this turn into some console war bullshit? Do you have an example of a previously multi-plat game that Sony managed to snag as a PS4 exclusive and a thread that shows GAF cheering on that practice?
Heck even the announcement that 'Everybody's Gone to the Rapture' was a PS4 exclusive (a game that was eventually made with the help of Sony's studios if I'm not mistaken) was met with initial heated derision here.

GIVE ME A PS4 VERSION OR GIVE ME DEATH!
Seriously though, the 360 version can piss off.
I really do hope this is a timed exclusive. : (

Apparently part of their business plan was to deliver this to as few fans as possible. Seems wise.
For me personally this is certainly not a system seller but I am sure it is for quite a few peeps.
Now that Quantum Break! *drooooooools*

How exactly did they buy that, when the 3 games prior to it were all on Playstation? Some developers just focus on one console.

LOL, thread closed due to the hating. Oh CD, what have you done....
Unless Microsoft paid for the whole thing, because it wouldn't have been made otherwise, nope. Not the same thing. Not even close.
And I bet it will be timed exclusive anyway. Bayonetta 2 won't be a timed exclusive.
No real difference to me. Exclusive is an exclusive. Doesn't matter how it happens in my eyes. A company is footing the bill to put it on their system. I look back at the Rise of the Tomb Raider trailer and I see no systems announced.
All this and I don't even have an Xbox One.

I own and Xbox One and still think the move is kinda shitty. I have to say though if a game was supposed to make me buy an Xbox One, Tomb Raider wouldn't be one of them so if that's what they are hoping for, I don't think it will do much.
