Poll Does TR being exclusive to X1 sway you? (149 votes)

Yes. I'm buying an X1 for Tomb Raider 9%
No. I'm still not buying an X1. 68%
I've already got an X1 so... 23%

The biggest mega ton in what I would consider to be all of Xbox history just happened with Tomb Raider going exclusive to it. God knows how much Microsoft paid them, but that's not what this thread is about.

For those that don't own an Xbox One, does Tomb Raider being exclusive to the X1 sway you enough to buy the system?

For me, no. This actually had the opposite effect on me as I won't be buying any games that have the Crystal Dynamics, Eidos, or Square logos on them. They've literally lost hundreds from a single used to be Tomb Raider fan.

What say you?

Lying? TR is not the franchise it was in the 90's. Sure the last was pretty awesome, but it does not have nearly the same impact it once had. Even if it turns out to be yet another great game, don't expect great sales (in both software or hardware).

Much like the new Silent Hill Sony announced, I doubt it'll have much of an impact if it's exclusive. It's not the franchise it once was. It's just the way things are.

Tomb Raider has a bigger fanbase than Silent Hill. Give me a break.

Nope. I will get the x1 when the next halo comes. TR is not a console seller IMO.

I'll play the PS4 deluxe edition "in holiday 2016".

If Microsoft had payed for total and complete untimed exclusivity, trust me, we would be hearing about it and not this "holiday 2015" crap they keep repeating.

Given that TR and Halo 5 will both be coming out the same season , it was a fantastic move by MS and should persuade quite a number of people to pick up an xbox one

It just makes me not want to support Xbox or Eidos.


Part of the reason XboxOne flopped was due to seedy business practice.

Now, Microsoft attempt to win people back... with seedy business practice.

Considering there is a last gen TR 360 version for 2015, I wouldn't be surprised on a PS3 and even Wii U version as well.

We'll find out in 2016, I suppose.

With a 360 version confirmed I'd bet the farm the PS3 version will be out with the other delayed versions.

WiiU?

Let's just pencil that one in, shall we?

Nope. I liked the last one , but it's something I can wait for (or not play at all). If this was a MEGATON game like MGS V though , I'd go through all of the stages of emotions and ultimately I might have to get a bone.

I have an X1 in the living room but I didn't like the last TR so I'm certainly skipping it. I didn't see what was so great about it, I liked the death scenes but I got into Uncharted a lot better.

No. It'll be coming to the PS4 as well, and while the last game was a fun romp it's nothing I would buy a console for.

Tomb Raider is hardly enough to sway me.

It would take a strategy or space flight sim franchise to even have a chance of swaying me.

lol at anyone stupid enough to buy a xbox one over a PS4 for a cross-gen timed exclusive.

The only reason why SE even made the deal is because they didn't want to go head to head with Uncharted 4 in 2015 and MS didn't have any real exclusives to compete with it themselves.

The reboot was mediocre at best so that did nothing to me but im sure many care. All i remember from the reboot is Lara moaning every 7sec... worst tps i purchased in a long time.

Nah. I very much liked TR, even more than Uncharted honestly, but it isnt a system seller. If I aint buying a WiiU for Bayonetta 2 (a game I've a LOT more interest in) I sure as hell wont be buying an Xbone for ROTR.

I think people will be more mad then end up buying an X1 to play TR.... 2015 will be a very packed year, and I cant see TR selling X1's. There is a higher chance other games doing that.

There will never be a game for the X1 that would make me want the X1. Microsoft's policies, flip flopping, etc. are what I take issue with. No game will change what Microsoft is, so no I will not be getting the X1. The only thing I will ever buy that is made by Microsoft is an OS for my PC.

Already own xbox one and could care less about the tomb raider series. I find the rage and sadness of the comments more entertaining than the Tomb Raider Series all together.

Lemmings just can't understand that Lara Croft isn't a cultural icon and Tomb Raider isn't a system seller anymore.

Nah. Didn't like the reboot. There's a reason they we're selling it for 5 bucks on steam.

Plus it's a 360 port and gonna look mad last gen.

No, Tomb Raider isn't that interesting

Now if Xbone made Dragon Age and Witcher 3 Xbone exclusives, then I'd bite, but that'd never happen

Nope. I enjoyed the TR Reboot from last year and I still got my trusty old 360 Elite working, so I'll play it on that platform.

I'm getting an X1 anyway, that is for games NOT on 360.

Its so funny to see peoples responses

Its either

Don't care for the game

or

They have ruined the business.

In the real world people wont buy a console for one game but it adds to the list of the Xbox One exclusives and that list is enough to sway people.

Lol the butt hurt. No one buys a console for one game, but sales will be picking up by early next year anyway. I am so sure there'll be another price cut early next year and with the first year out of the way, games will come out consistently. Plenty of people will buy the console by then. I'm still not seeing through the Playstation 4 hype that it's offering a whole lot more. But I digress with that.

People say this wont help, it will. This sort of stuff matters, when added to other stuff, and it buys MS some more time in the short term to get their shit together. It matters and all the butt hurt is speaking volumes louder than people saying the opposite that it does.

And I'm sure it'll probably come to the PC later and maybe the Playstation, there's really no need for all this butt hurt anyway.

I don't know about him, but your thread title says the TR game is exclusive to Xbone, but it's coming to 360 and Xbone.

You don't have to buy an Xbone to enjoy the next Tomb Raider in the holiday 2015 window, just own a 360.

Since it's exclusive to XO, it'll probably be a rushed cash grab with tons of microtransactions and DLC to please Microsoft's pockets. It'll be even more casual and linear than ever with lots of quick time events so dudebros don't get frustrated with complex gameplay.

lol the irony.

Nope. If they could get into a time machine and go back and redesign X1 to have GDDR5 memory and a minimum of 6 more graphics CUs that would sway the hell out of me.

Lucky for you, you own a 360 and the next TR is being made by Crystal Dynamics for 360 and Xbone. :)

And at some point, I'm gonna leave my last gen consoles behind in favor of new ones. This gives me a very good reason to do it.

Might as well get the latest Tomb Raider on a current gen platform.

I'm looking forward to next gen developed games that abandon last gen hardware like Witcher 3 and Batman AK.

Like Destiny, they are going to sprinkle resolutions and frames on the Xbone version, but it's a shame this won't be a true next gen title like Halo 5 and Uncharted 4 will be (as last gen assets will hold back the new hardware). If current gen ports sells you on upgrading to current gen, go for it.

I may pick this new TR game up if it's $20ish down the road, assuming it gets the same decent scores CD is known for. I'll buy it for Xbone or 360, which ever goes on sale first.

It's not just Tomb Raider that sells me on it. Other games, too. Tomb Raider just added a big positive to that list :D

And I don't know if it's just a rez and framerate boost. I'll see the difference when they actually show it off.
