I almost forgot about Cyberpunk. Now there's one game that will be dope.

The Xbox 360 wireless protocol was cracked during the 360s lifetime, which allowed things like the cheap, unlicensed wireless PC adapters. I was wondering if the original adapter by MS was used to reverse-engineer it. If so, then MS might avoid a situation like that again by not releasing an adapter for the Xbox One pad at all.
Of course, if I'm wrong about this, then please correct me.

It's kind of funny to see people losing their shit over this Tomb Raider news but they really shouldn't. It'll come to the other platforms after a while.
Same. It's not our fault that they can't come up with appealing exclusive properties for their next gen systems. Why they gotta go after our multi-platform properties?!?!?
Slippery slope and all that.
Now is the time to start a shitstorm, not when it's happening to more multiplatform franchises.

But what would they gain? Selling fewer adapters than possible due to cheap knock-offs is better than selling none at all.
Well it depends on the kind of deal they made with SE.
Tomb Raider (2013) just was a big game. Like really big even if SE went onto say "oh yeah it didn't quite live up to our expectations". More so it sold better on PlayStation platforms. The kind of absolute exclusive deal would be very expensive. I think what we have here is timed exclusivity & agreement to be quiet about other possibilities until certain date (2016 whenever).

That's actually really cool news. Hopefully they put some effort into the re-releases like they are the new games.

Okay maybe people were getting salty too early:
So Summer 2015 it won't be exclusive :V
Microsoft acting as publisher doesn't necessarily mean it owns the game:
Microsoft doesn't own either game and it never did.
(Ryse isn't in the USCO's database.)
What's happened is perhaps deceptively simple: Microsoft's publishing contracts expired and distribution rights reverted back to the IP owners, in this case Capcom and Crytek.
And given Keighley's comment, it seems clear to me that Rise is in precisely the same situation as DR3 and Ryse were: Microsoft has publishing rights, but only for a while.

personally, im not bitter so much as kinda annoyed. I probably wasn't going to get this till it was below $10 anyhow. this just makes the wait for the PC version to get to that price just a bit longer by about 3-6 months.
like i said earlier, i don't blame them for taking that nice temporary-exclusive money. They're literally getting paid to NOT compete directly with UC4 on the PS4 but instead will have a decent marketing push and, eventually, will be out on everything. It's a smart move.
I'm shocked.
You go based on the information at hand, when the information changes, you can change your opinion. Saying it's salty to complain that Microsoft paid to have a game exclusive that's predecessor sold the poorest previously on its platform is ridiculous. People should be upset about it, it's a fuck you to the fans who played on PC and Playstation.

Guys, you don't seriously believe a big game like Tomb Raider will stay exclusive to Xbone only?
I give it a year until it hits other platforms. Relax guys and wait.

Definitely sounds like they are being deliberately vague about long-term exclusivity. Get enough pre-orders in, whip the XBOX1 fans into a frenzy etc... then let squeenix let it slip somewhere down the line that it is coming to other platforms later.
I quite liked the last TR, though not enough to pre-order it, or pay full price, let alone buy an XBOX1.

“Rise of the Tomb Raider” (Crystal Dynamics, Microsoft Studios)
Microsoft is publishing/funding this.
Did Square Enix straight up sell them TR? I knew they had money issues but this.. this kinda goes to far, right? I hope thats not true.
There'd be still hope for PC, but not for PS then.
Seems like it might be a similar situation to Bayonetta 2

XB1-exclusive TR in 2015, and Sierra reforms with another developer and plans to produce another King's Quest.
What a day.

I feel that I should clarify that I never once said that people are being "salty" since your post suggests otherwise.

PC outsold 360? Source?
2 hours 52 minutes
Yes I inferred it based on your post
.Looks like it just outsold the XB1 version. My bad.

They're publishing it. They don't own the IP. It's the same situation as DR3 and Ryse by the looks of it. Publishing exclusivity to MS at least for now.
3 hours, ish.
thanks for clearing that up.
Yes I inferred it based on your post
I'm not quite sure how you got "People are being salty" from "I'm shocked
". I was facetiously expressing surprise because the very first thing I said on the exclusivity news was:Looks like it just outsold the XB1 version. My bad.
You sure those aren't NPD numbers?

Safe bet I would say. Square took the sweet MS money and once the contract runs they will run and make the PC/PS4 versions.

Pretty much my thoughts on the matter at the moment. I enjoyed the first game but the sequel wouldn't be a day 1 purchase for me anyway. As long as I'm able to get a discounted PC version down the line, whenever that is, I'm good.

listen to the mad man
Assuming they don't bias the RNG towards giving dupes (which I suspect they do), the odds of that are still decent; 1 in 512.

Only .27 million on PC (out of almost 5 million) sounds really bad.

What a day. Geo Wars 3 coming to Steam, Rise of the Tomb Raider XBOX exclusive.
Since this is published by CI, I'll read hands-ons and reviews back and forth before I even consider buying it.
