My issue is not that there's literally "no difference at all" between circumstances. It's just that I grow really, really fucking tired of the stupid console wars bullshit that arises in response to trying to establish how one isn't just different than the other, but so wildly different that it's completely ok to lose my shit when this thing happens, but when this other fairly similar but slightly different thing happens I can spin it as totally positive. I'm not saying that Tomb Raider and Street Fighter and five other game examples are exactly the same thing and it's pointless to distinguish factors at all. However, the motivation behind the deals is still entirely the same. A publisher needs/wants money, and a platform holder is trying to bolster their library with exclusives.
Gamers appear to prefer the competitive situation created by multiple proprietary gaming platforms pitted against each other, given we're into an 8th/9th generation of proprietary game platforms competing against each other, with no end in sight. These sort of deals are the tradeoff you're going to have to accept for having that hardware competition. They come with the territory and, let's be honest, this audience thrives on the rivalry it generates.How is it good for Xbox One owners that PS4 owners can't play Tomb Raider and vice versa for SF? These deals drive consumers toward one box or another, but that's only good for the platform holders. It would be better for the audience to be able to get any software on any platform, whenever that is a possibility (i.e., excluding games made by MS or Sony studios).
They can fully clarify if it is timed or full exclusive, which MS failed to do with Tomb raider, they can say Sony is co-developing or helping with the titles development...Basically clear up any confusion.
100% agreed.I honestly wish that people would stop trying to delineate every permutation of exclusivity deals to try and arrive at what "feels" right and just accept that exclusivity deals -- no matter the circumstances -- are a part of doing business and are fine. Tomb Raider exclusive to Xbox One? Good for MS, Square Enix, and Xbox One owners. Street Fighter V exclusive to PS4? Good for Capcom, Sony, and PS4 fans. Sometimes, it's an acceptable strategy to mitigate risk. Sometimes, it's necessary to get a game funded at all. But it's absolutely silly seeing people work through a bunch of extremely similar circumstances just to justify why Situation X was bullshit and Situation Y it totes on the up and up.
Hopefully it is better than Street Fighter IV.
I wonder if MS is just going to somehow buy full exclusivity for TR now.
Street Fighter IV sold 8 million copies overall compared to Tomb Raider which sold 4 million.
A very smart move from Sony,
Ultra, the latest edition of Street Fighter IV, literally came out three months ago.
It's still a bad deal in that it's a moneyhatted exclusive if it's timed, co-development is the only way this goes over smoothly. Unless they say those words or something similar then it's just "Sony bought this game away from MS".
That's a fucking dick move for Xbox One owners if it actually turns out console exclusive.
Agree 100%. This at the end of the day really boils down to console wars bs and which publishers/developers people are willing to give a pass too. It also basically feels like hardcore gamers saying "hey publishers this is what I want to hear to hire more PR people and get better at lying to me!"
I think the problem is being a fan of a single brand. But what do I know? I'm just a stinker who gives all members of Big Three shit for something.
So is Killer Instinct on the PS4 yet?

Are you joking?
Uh? Sorry, but i have zero problems with this game not coming to the Xbox One. What i said about Capcom screwing part of the SF userbase is a fact, there is no way to spin that![]()
It was also on Sony's e3 as one of the games coming to PS4 and was up for pre-order on PS4.
It was at Microsofts E3 and I did not see any pre order on PS4 store
Amazon listed it though I think

What about Ryse, titanfall, Dead rising, Sunset over drive?
I'm actually not saying people can't be disappointed by exclusivity. However, I am absolutely, insanely tired of the game that gets played where you can tell that people are really, really letting their platform bias guide whether or not a deal feels right or not.
PSA for Arcade Stick owners who don't want to buy a new one:
search neogaf for Titan One . It's an adapter that lets you use ps3/x360 arcade sticks on X1/ps4. read up on how it works too, you'll need a computer running windows (or a windows VM) and there is some setup involved.
I bought one yesterday to use on my xbox one for Killer Instinct. Will likely be buying a PS4 stick when SFV comes out.
At least in Brazil there are a lot of people playing Ultra, so I'm happy.
I won't need a new stick so soon, thanks Capcpom :3

Rise of the Tomb Raider was announced at MS' E3 with no specific platforms confirmed
The only place where it was placed with PS4 was retail listings
I could be wrong here but I don't remember a single official press release mentioning Playstation for this game
Ryse and Sunset are Microsoft funded.
DetectiveGaf never disappoints!Lol.
Again Sony also showed a video of games coming to ps4...tomb raider was there.
Did he mention any of them? Or was the game he mentioned an xbox owned IP?
Totally called it. So glad I just bought a PS4.
