Microsoft admits "Tomb Raider 2" is a Timed-exclusive

[Liquid]

Where'd you get this info from? Sony didn't botch those for them, Sega botched all that shyt for themselves.

I am not sure about the history on that either, but either way...that was back then when information was not spread out immediately like it is today.

Doing that shyt today is just asking for it.

I remember it when it happened. EA signed with Sony cause they paid them.

Yeah it's wrong cause of Sony Stans

Ironically tomb raider 2 was kept off of Saturn due to Sony's money.

Square enix made a big jump from primarily Nintendo for final fantasy over to Sony

EA didn't support dreamcast due to Sony money.

Bayonetta 2

It's happened plenty of times. Only when Sony Stans are on the loosing end do we get this huge backlash.

Tomb Raider 2 wasnt multiplat going to exclusive.

Squaresoft made the jump from Nintendo to Sony mainly because Nintendo decided to stick with cartridges like idiots, while they wanted more storage space. Among other things, but that was #1

EA didn't support Dreamcast because of Sony money? Why are you literally making shyt up? EA didn't support Dreamcast because they didn't believe in the hardware, and advised Sega to make some changes and Sega pretty much said "lol fukk off" and EA was all, "let's see you put in work without us". Bluff called. EA won. I mean, just fukking wiki it

Bayonetta 2 wouldn't even exist without Nintendo stepping in and funding the game. Its a big difference from a title that sold millions last gen AND this gen with a single game. WTF does that have to do with this argument anyways?

Stop being retarded nikka

Yes it was. Tomb raider 1 was on Saturn.

Sony helped fund those games. It's just like insomniac now claiming that they went with X1 due to "the cloud"

From wiki

"While the Dreamcast had none of Electronic Arts' popular sports gamesafter Sega rejected giving EA an exclusive deal, Sega Sports titles developed by Visual Concepts helped to fill that void."

Sony paid. Sega did not.

Tomb raider 2013 was considered a financial failure. There's no guarantee that the new one would have been made without this deal.

Someone knows their video game history.... *dapped*

If Nintendo didn't pull out of that deal with Sony.....

The Sega Saturn was a failed system. Are we pretending that Tomb Raider 2 not coming to it is a surprise?

Sony rejected the EA deal for exclusivity. That was their decision. They chose not to match it because they felt that they had better sports games on the way (which they actually did). So..how does this compare again?

And if Sony helped fund the FF games, then its not at ALL like this. They helped create the fukking games. MS isn't doing that with Tomb Raider. MS is literally just giving them cash to fill a void for a few months. 1+1 = 19 lookin ass nikka

It was still doing well at that point.

You don't think square approached Sony about signing a deal

And if Sony helped fund the FF games, then its not at ALL like this. They helped create the fukking games. MS isn't doing that with Tomb Raider. MS is literally just giving them cash to fill a void for a few months. 1+1 = 19 lookin ass nikka

Up front money towards development and advertising is the same exact thing that Microsoft is giving the square now.

So what's the difference again?

 

[BasedPrime]

I told yall nikkas

 

[ltheghost]

This is the time when Microsoft should have issued a bland statement and let the third party clear it up...don't admit shyt...fukking idiots.



















but that Uncharted ain't a TIMED exclusive....

 

[Black Hans]

Well duh.

This is very confusing. it sounds like hes trying to be confusing on purpose. they just want gamers to be fukking lost. reading the article It sounds like the upcoming tomb raider 2 game is exclusive to xbox and phil is saying that future tomb raiders, like tomb raider 3, could come out for ps4.

phil keeps talking about how he doesnt own the series and he doesnt know about future tomb raider games.

"I get the reaction I see. If I'm a PlayStation person all of a sudden I feel like, the franchise has gone. I didn't buy the IP. I didn't buy the studio. It's not mine. Where this thing will go over time, just like Dead Rising or Ryse, we'll see what happens with the game. I don't own every iteration of Tomb Raider.

"I don't own them building Tomb Raider on other platforms. I can't talk about the franchise that way. I can talk about the deal I have."

So, what, exactly, is that deal?

"I have Tomb Raider shipping next holiday exclusively on Xbox. It is Xbox 360 and Xbox One. I'm not trying to fake anybody out in terms of where this thing is. What they do with the franchise in the long run is not mine. I don't control it. So all I can talk about is the deal I have. I don't know where else Tomb Raider goes."

Is there a time limit on the exclusivity period?

"Yes, the deal has a duration. I didn't buy it. I don't own the franchise."

Can you tell us how long the duration is?

"No. It's not because I'm trying to be a headfake on anybody. It's a deal between us and the partner. People ask me how much did we pay. There are certain things I'm just not going to talk about because it's a business deal between us and them. Obviously the deal does have a duration. I didn't buy the IP in perpetuity."

he also mentioned Ryse and Dead Rising. could this mean they will be on the quad soon?

 

[Rico]

I think it will take just as long to get this game as the others he mentioned.
