Strange. Why are they telling this before the X1 release? The timing is so wrong.
It makes sense. They don't want to compete with Uncharted.
I'll be looking forward to playing it Holiday 2016 then.
This is how you punish a fanbase that buys these games the most.
Bad.. bad news for Microsoft's XBOX division right here :P. I'm glad the game will eventually come to PC and especially the PS4. But nope, no thanks. I'm lookin forward to NieR and Star Ocean 5 than this.
You know, while there would still be frustration, it wouldn't have been as loud and outraged if they would have said this right up front.
Remember how this franchise STARTED on Playstation? Lara was a console mascot essentially, along with Crash and Spyro. The last game even sold WAY more on PS3 than 360. The Xbone is selling half as many units. There are so many reasons why this is such an annoying big fuck you to Playstation owners. Microsoft sure must love slinging money around.
I had Tomb Raider 1 on my Sega Saturn back then. But anyways, yeah It's a big fuck you to PS4 owners by Square-Enix. I'll just pirate my copy on PC instead of waiting a year to play on my PS4.
The Definitive edition supposedly sold higher on PS4 than XB1 as well. It was definitely an odd business decision.
And it was initially released on PC, Sega Saturn, and Playstation. It started multi-platform and I feel should stay multi-platform. I can wait a year for it, though.
one year later and probably with a cheaper price tag, i can live with that...
who know final fantasy 7 remake might be 1 year exclusive to PS4 has well (that be killer!!)
i can wait for holiday 2016 i get the game with all the DLC included for no extra charge (got enough game to play to wait till holiday 16)
