Fan forums and Twitter on a semi meltdown after Crystal Dynamics and Microsoft announce that the next TR game will be a M$ XBONE exclusive I'm a PS player, always have been, and own every TR game original since 1996 - I'm pretty gutted about this, but wont be going out to buy an xbox for one title Guess I will have to make do with Uncharted 4 when it comes out at the same time! Think its pretty much the death knell for Lara though, sales on XB One were the lowest of all the platforms for the reboot (even PC sold more), PS was by far the biggest selling platform. Its a shame as the trailer looks decent. The Crystal Dynamics statment today has also pissed people off - "We are not leaving the Playstation users behind, they can also enjoy our the old game in HD on the delixe edition".... yeah cheers! Looks like Microsoft have ploughed a shitload of money to make it only Xbox as competition to PS only Uncharted - which is a crying shame for all those that have played it since the start. At least Xbox users have never known the joy of Nathan Drake! www.computerandvideogames.com/473779/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-is-an-xbox-exclusive/ |

This has the same feeling a lot felt when Tomb Raider II in '97 ended up as a PS exclusive, with the game having no release on Saturn, and TRIII having no release on Dreamcast. Would have got it for Xbox anyway but also would have got the PC version too.

Funny today - the Twitter and online forum abuse of Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics and Microsoft has been vitriolic since the news broke yesterday, non stop, and today Microsoft have admitted its only a 'timed' exclusive not a full on one (I guess CD have a contract and couldnt say anything different)
Would have been madness to exclude 10million PS4 owners, 20mill PS3 owners and the same XBox360 too, plus all the PC gamers
Works out nice if true - we get Uncharted 4 next December, they get TR2: ROTRR, they can fix all the kinks and upscale the graphics to 1080 and we get the Definitive TR2 package on PS4 in Feb :-)
Win win lol
The climbdown and some of the statements are hilarious - gamers and geeks are the worst people to piss off ever as we dont let it go!
Online petition on Change.org is at 10,000 names after less than a day!
(Feel for you with your Saturn and Dreamcast woes....a bit.....you should probably let that go after 17 years though!)

A timed exclusive is best for all. I had a feeling it would be that. Will definitely purchase for Xbox and PC now! And I have let the Saturn and Dreamcast stuff go, just. Eternal grudge against EA for skipping Dreamcast. Though I still have the DC hooked up with VGA and it looks great. |

My missus laughs at me with an old PC plugged into the big TV with a ton of emulators on - Megadrive snes and the fab Mame
1942 and track n field on the big screen are still ace!
Sonic still looks good even now, and let's face it you can play Mario for hours.
Ghosts and goblins also an old fave of mine!

Then novelty games like Battletoads just for the pause music. |

It's a timed exclusive, so expect the PC/PS4 version a year after.
