Is Rise of Tomb Raider Timed for PC only?

yep is the best for when i just want to play or watch movies comfortable.

its also good for reading blurry text and playing low res games on your gaming computer righ? prolly get a lot of good gaming done on it

U take that back, im nothing like that turd race elitist doofus

#no offence janka

look my dear low iq troll, go back to playing dead rising at 18 fps and 720p hmmm k, and while you are at it you might want to stop using excuses about hdtvs from 10 years ago, i mean we know you consolites are always so far behind hardware and standards but tvs work differently now.

I think it will be on PS4 and PC for sure. They have big audiences on those platforms.

Street Fighter had huge audience in America and Capcom still shat on it.

yeah but why can't ps4 users buy xbox one or pc users buy one? its cheaper than the ps4 and graphics card for a pc gamer

i just dont see why those audiences couldnt afford a xbox one if they can buy gaming pc or ps4 for 400 they could easily save to play this title

Here's the thing. While the game was multiplat, M$ is no footing the bill for the development and marketing of the game. They're also publishing the game now.

With Ninja Gaiden, for example, MS even had a specific clause in the contract that outright forbid the game from being release on the ps3. Yeah, funny huh? So what did they do? They remade the entire game from stracth, and that's how the similar, but very different Ninja Gaiden Sigma was born.

Mass Effect was a case in which BW's aquisition by EA broke the contract, since EA probably wasn't bounded by it. So, they quickly re-released them on ps3.

With DR3 and Ryse again, MS doesn't control the IP, so, they were able to release them on PC, but no PS4 version in sight. Same thing will probably happen to Sunset Overdrive, D4, Deep Down and Let ti Die. But we

So, will RoTB come to the ps4? Maybe. It's very likely that there's a clause that forbids Square from releasing it on the ps4. But an they release it has a Definitve Edition or something? Who knows. Same thing with Street Fighter 5.

But the fact that Phil Spencer has compared his deal with DR3 so much, and the fact that MS announced they were publishing the game just a week after the SF5 deal, indicates that MS is making an indiract statement that it won't be coming to Playstation, but only PC about a year latter.

That's my bet atleast

Because i rather save $400 and wait few months and get it for Ps4 or PC i already own if get it at all

@Cloud_imperium:

Every time Nixes is involved in a PC port I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside,those guys know what they are doing.

Publishing the X1 version....yes.

@naz99:

No doubt bro. Nixes sure knows how to code for PC.

Masseffect says high...

because i don't buy crap, the fact that i can afford it doesn't mean i will buy it, we know you are just a 12 yo ignorant but that's a sure way to be broke really fast.

The fact that the Rise of Tomb Raider is being released on both 360 and Xbone is not a move to save face though, it's purely economics as this is a SquareEnix property.

The move is financial in nature for SquareEnix. All one has to do is look at the last TR game's sales (which started as a huge underperformer but eventually through promos, sales, and time sold 6 million across five systems [PC/PS3/PS4/360/Xbone]). The last TR game was multiplat and sold on 360/PS3/PS4/Xbone and at first struggled in sales. This new TR game which originally was coming to the same five platforms (PC/PS3/PS4/360/Xbone) lost more than half of the 2013's sales user-base temporarily (lost PC/PS4/PS3) as it's a timed exclusive for 360/Xbone, and the Xbone doesn't have the install base to support this game to be Xbone only exclusive for SE 's bottomline.

Xbone simply hasn't sold enough units to support the next TR game despite the M$ money given to help Crystal Dynamics/SE, so 360 version proceeds forward so SE has at least two platforms (360/Xbone) to sell the game as opposed to just one platform (Xbone) or five platforms (PC/PS3/PS4/360/Xbone).

Also, the 1st party support for the 360 has been terrible, the loss of this TR game wouldn't alleviate the image they ditched the 360 hardware to fully support the Xbone when it comes to 1st party support. The best the 360 gets from the first party has been shared multiplats with Xbone and even then, not many (Forza Horizon and this upcoming TR game for example).

SquareEnix can't afford to release this TR game only for the Xbone, it's a matter of economics. Yes, they took money to make the game timed exclusive for 360 (85 million+ users) and Xbone (10 million+), but SquareEnix are giving up on sales from PS3 (85 million+), PS4 (17 million+), & PC...temporarily. SE is looking out for SE at the end of the day.

What this all means is that Square wants to make sure they get paid. This also means another cross generational multiplatform game holding back new generation hardware. When this game was originally coming to PC/PS3/PS4/360/Xbone, it wasn't an exciting prospect. Perhaps the sequel to this game will be only for PC/PS4/Xbone, but in the meantime, I just won't be enthusiastic about any game being cross generation. I know it's a matter of sales, but that doesn't mean I like it. I knew all this and mentioned above "but that's sales for ya" in an effort to save time explaining the economics.

Look at Warner Bros, they are taking a chance and allowing Rocksteady to make Batman Arkham Knight only for PS4/Xbone/PC. Witcher 3 is another example of a game for PS4/Xbone/PC. Obviously Capcom kept launch title DR3 next gen and of course Xbone and PS4 have some 1st party exclusives both released (Forza 5, Infamous Second Son, etc) and on the way (Uncharted 4/Bloodborne/Halo 5/The Order/GeoW4/ etc) that are NOT cross gen. These cross gen games are lame imo, especially playing them on next gen hardware that costs a lot of money.

I didn't buy these brand new generation machines to play games available on my decade older machines.

It's not coming to Xbone exclusively.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is releasing on 360 and Xbone as a timed deal though, yes.

You filthy whore.

As a PC gamer, it's really hard for me to give one single f*ck as you advocate for one of the most shittiest practicies in gaming, turning long time multiplats into timed exclusives/exclusives. If you don't like it, then, I don't know, buy PS4, then you won't need to worry about it. For us, PC gamers, a failing xbox is good as MS will have to publish more games for PC ; )

Did... did he just call me a Lemming?

Me? a lemming?

is today opposite day?

Are you guys fucking with me?

you're a cow aren't you?

Personally I would rather have Tomb Raider Rising Xbox One only and never come to anything else than have it be cross platform with the 360 and then eventually come to PS4 and PC and probably PS3 if its on the 360. I'm tired of devs keeping 2005 hardware in mind. Doesn't bother me as I own both (I buy multiplats on the PS4 most of the time). What I wonder is if TR:R will be complete crap on the 360 just like Shadow of Mordor and Dragon Age were (really pared back graphics and a fps that can barely hit 20-25).

But even so, I'll be playing both Uncharted 4 and Tomb Raider: Rising this Christmas.

What the ****? is this really an issue?

are you guys really having a hard time with this?

Agreed.

I buy all the machines at launch for multiple generations and I would prefer Tomb Raider be developed and optimized for the Xbone only and never ported if need be than the current situation of TR being cross gen with 360.

It'll probably come to PC. Uncertain about PS4.

@tormentos You know, beef-for-brains that Microsoft had a 2nd party deal with BioWare and EA eventually outright bought BioWare from MS. But hey it's so carefree to spill random BS. I bet you were the kind of person who got butthurt every time PlayStation lost a third party exclusive.

Weren't Dead Rising 3 and Ryse Son of Rome both published by MS (for Xbox One)?

ps4 will not see the game at all it will come to pc
