The Next Tomb Raider is XBox Exclusive?! AngryJoe Rant - General

[QUOTE=Passwordddd;45675252]over Halo, Tomb Raider, and...[/QUOTE] Crackdown, Phantom Dust, Project Spark, D4, Scalebound, Quantum Break, and Sunset Overdrive? I was fairly sony leaning when the PS4 and Bone were first announced, but you have to admit that Microsoft is stepping up its game. Does PS4 even have any exclusives on the horizon except for Bloodborne?

So what I could find here is the upcoming PS4 exclusives are [I]Alienation[/I], [I]Backgammon Blitz[/I], [I]Basement Brawl[/I], [I]Everybody's Gone to the Rapture[/I], [I]Hyperdimension Neptunia V II[/I], [I]Infamous First Light [/I], [I]Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Overdrive[/I], [I]Rime[/I], etc. While Microsoft has stepped up their game the current upcoming line up is still to generic save [I]Scalebond[/I] and [I]Sunset Overdrive[/I]. If Microsoft really wants to bring some real variety to their lineup( something the Xbox One is greatly lacking) They should put rare to work to either revive one of their old IP's or make a new one that catch gamers eyes like the SNES and N64 days.

what is it about the video game industry that leads people to get so furious and passionate about something as simple as entertainment software one day, then buying the product and making excuses for it the next? if its such a massive personal insult to you as a consumer, just don't buy it? the entire reason the video game industry has been slowly milking everyone's wallets more and more is because nobody has any sense of restraint. everyone moans and screams about every injustice and then goes on to buy the offending product and talk about how fun it is anyway.

personally I couldnt give less of a fuck but for people who SOMEHOW enjoyed the reboot this is kind of slap in the face I guess

Little confused. When another company do an exclusive no one seems to mind like Sony or Nintendo but when Microsoft do it. Can someone explain the difference here? It's even a timed exclusive.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;45745639]The problem is Tomb Raider wasnt a microsoft exclusive series.[/QUOTE] Same for Bayonetta? Except most people were applauding it being an exclusive for the Wii U.

[QUOTE=O'Neil;45746242]Same for Bayonetta? Except most people were applauding it being an exclusive for the Wii U.[/QUOTE] Because Nintendo is the only one who would fund it. The game only exists because of Nintendo. Bayonetta 2 isn't going to make Nintendo any money but it's a nice shiny thing to point at when they're talking about exclusives.

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;45675519]Why is Angry Joe complaining? He should be the one praising it as he is mostly playing on Xbox.[/QUOTE] Because exclusives benefit no one, there's no reason to be happy about them even when they're on a platform you own. It's not like the exclusivity of Tomb Raider affects his Xbone experience in any way.

I more angry at the possibility/rumor/confirmed detail/whatever that [sp]Sam died between games[/sp]. After all that fanart... Besides, I'm not too sure I'd want to play another game after the last one was a bit too much hype and not too much pay off though I'm not sure what I was expecting. It did lay the angst and Lara-falls-down-a-cliff-trying-to-cross-the-road-and-lands-in/on-something-icky/painful. That and I kept launching grenades at dude's feet and not killing them while a headshot from the pistol 1HK'd guys and that was annoying. So basically it needs to be a better and less angsty game. But judging from the trailer the latter part isn't going to be a thing.

ReviewTechUSA thinks is a good idea to make it an XBOX exclusive [video=youtube;8EItpMv4Xe8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EItpMv4Xe8&list=UU__Oy3QdB3d9_FHO_XG1PZg[/video] Then it went timed exclusive and...

Fucking console exclusives. This wouldn't be as big of an issue if it was releasing on PC too. Hate when PC users have to suffer because of console manufacturers flinging money at 3rd party IP's for exclusives, bonus in game content etc etc.
