The first video of the Rise of the Tomb Raider we put up had a bit of a problem and we had to remove it. We just found a bit of time to renencode it correctly, so if you missed it before, you know what to do.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (2 Weeks ago)

I don't know what part of XBOX EXCLUSIVE you people do not understand.
Microsoft did not purchase the publishing rights and fund the development of the game just so it could end up on PS4 six months later. Doesn't matter that Square-Enix holds the rights to the IP. That just entitles them to royalties from each sale.
GET IT THROUGH YOUR DAMN HEADS:
Bayonetta 2 is NEVER COMING TO PS4
Dead Rising 3 is NEVER COMING TO PS4
RYSE: Son of Rome is NEVER COMING TO PS4
and Rise of the Tomb Raider is NEVER COMING TO PS4!
FACT. DEAL WITH IT.

If not you could just as well add PC and XBOXONE to the Final Fantasy VII remake too. That game was even presented at E3 as "Play it first on Playstation 4".

but frankly, who cares. ditch the platform thing entirely, i rarely even notice it.
In anycase I'm not saying the game isn't going to PS4 but there will be differences should it probably similar to NG and NGS.
the difference with the likes of ryse and sunset was they where flat out exclusives, called so from day 1 and fully funded by MS. the same as ratchet and clank and resistance on sony platforms. essentially fully funded development by an independant developer.
the thing with tomb raider is the wording. if this was a full exclusive, they'd have said so. they have everything to gain by saying so. so the fact they're not is telling. hell, they've even said themselves that the exclusivity deal has a duration, you can't get any clearer then that without them saying "it's out on PS4 in march 2016" which they're going to avoid saying for marketing purposes.
it's launch is exclusive to Xbone. but the game as a whole isn't. they don't own the tomb raider IP, and they havn't paid for full exclusivity (otherwise they'd have said so) which leaves one option. it's a timed exclusive.
now, if they'd have been so vague in regards to the exclusivity deals for say, dead rising, titanfall, ryse or sunset overdrive, then you might have a point. but they never have. the moment they secure an actual exclusive, they shout it from the rooftops...and rightly so. it becomes a legitimate selling point for the console if you have a big name exclusive...tomb raiders delayed release however is more a minor inconvenience to PS4 owners then a selling point for Xbone.
