villarule123 Posted August 12, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2014 Tomb Raider announced as Xbox exclusive, for 2015 anyway. I'd imagine a lot of the die-hard PS people will be fuming with that as it has always been seen as a PS game. I thought the remake was good but it is a poor man's version of Uncharted. Halo collection remains tempting but I don't see myself buying a console for one game, that is a remaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 12, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Yeah seems a bit odd that Tomb Raider has become an Xbox exclusive title, I've always associated it with Playstation. Quantum Break looks nice but the game play looks a bit boring. It's all about Halo5, can't wait to get my hands on it. The BETA in December has 7 playable maps for 3 weeks!

Daniel Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I though tomb raider was only a timed exclusive? Ms haven't said its 100% exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 They introduced it as only on Xbox One IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yeah, it's been confirmed it's a lifetime exclusive. I guess MS wanted something that will compete with Uncharted 4, and that's why they paid $$$ for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Really? Xbox boss Phil Spencer has confirmed to Eurogamer that Microsoft's controversial exclusivity deal for Rise of the Tomb Raider "has a duration".However, he declined to confirm how long that duration is set for. Last night, during its Gamescom press conference, Microsoft and Square Enix made the surprise announcement that Rise of the Tomb Raider would launch holiday 2015 exclusively on Xbox. That, Spencer confirmed, means Xbox One and Xbox 360. Eurogamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 This on the game's tumblr certainly reads to the contrary. OK, it doesn't say in there that it is never ever going to be out on anything else, but it seems that way. I would personally be very surprised if it never comes out on PS4, as I said, more likely it seems to be XBONE's answer to U4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 My son has just upgraded from the 360 and I am shocked at how MS has crippled it in terms of being as media player. You cannot even watch media from a win7 PC unless you push it from the PC to the xbone. The forthcoming update needs to put this right or he will be getting a PS4.

P3te Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 You can't do any of that on ps4 either yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted August 28, 2014 Administrator Share Posted August 28, 2014 You can't do any of that on ps4 either yet The PS4 is marketed as a games console, not a media platform that can play games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yeah, I think that's what he's saying though. mykeyb has made a complaint about the media playing side of things, a complaint that would still exist on the PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 28, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2014 You can now watch video from a USB stick(which is a bit shit) and next month an update will be released to watch media via DLNA. So it's coming very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Wasn't aware the the PS4 is similarly crippled. Its poor really, its all about forcing customers to consume the media from their particular storefront instead if giving the customer the best experience possible.

I'm alright with no kinect for now, I can buy it later regardless. Actually surprised at how well the Kinect has done. Not really heard a bad word about it since all the shit it was getting pre-launch Edited August 31, 2014 by Rino8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm alright with no kinect for now, I can buy it later regardless. Actually surprised at how well the Kinect has done. Not really heard a bad word about it since all the shit it was getting pre-launch It's pretty useful when navigating around the OS I find. I like walking into my living room, saying "Xbox On" and then my Xbox, TV, Amp, and Sky box all turn on. However, my brother doesn't use his Kinect whatsoever, he uses the pad to navigate round the OS which is just as easy. So guess it's down to personal preference. It works though, unlike the 360 Kinect. It does have it's uses, but in terms of playing games it's pretty pointless so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
