Took lots of guts to make the changes they made (especially the new combat system, armor & weapon leveling system…Oh & the 1 consistent camera shot with zero camera cuts)…I'm so happy it worked out for them & I LOVE the game…Sony Santa Monica, Naughty Dog & Guerrilla Games…All made BIG LEAGUE moves over the past 2 years

I can't believe you still don't get this…It does NOT make sense for Square to put their new, AAA, big budget, Tomb Raider game on ANY subscription service (day & date of release).
The only exception would be if they owned their own service. But like you correctly said, they do not. So it makes zero sense for Square to bolster a subscription service they have no ownership in.
Thats why I PROMISE that Shadow of...

Disney bought Hulu…Ok. That doesn't change the fact that Disney no longer wants their content on Netflix. And that's because its not worth it to have their content on somebody else's subscription service.
Likewise, it doesn't make sense for Square Enix to put their content (day & date of release) on a subscription service that they don't own. The only exception is if Microsoft took on some of the development costs (i...
@maybelovehate
I think it might be you who doesn't seem to understand how subscription services work (your Disney example kinda proves that)…Disney is actually leaving Netflix because they realize its not worth it to have content on somebody else's subscription service…Which is my exact thinking on why Square Enix won't put a brand new game (day & date) in somebody else's subscription service…So again, unless Microsoft helped fund the games development (...
This seems absurd…The author suggests that Microsoft is funding the game. If that were the case then I highly doubt it would release day & date on PS4.
And since we all know the game is releasing on PS4 on the same exact date, that leads me to believe Microsoft is not funding the game.
If Microsoft is not funding the game, then it won't be in Game Pass day 1 because Square Enix gets nothing from Game Pass
Yet again our man Pachter saying something wrong or blatantly obvious...This obviously falls into the latter
@Christopher - "I don't care that this is a SP game that's doing well" --
Well if you like the game & want more of this game from Sony SantaMonica, you should care that it does well...B/c better software sales increases the likelihood of sequels (not to mention bigger budgets)
If this would have bombed (whic...
So much for the "Exclusives don't sell" & "Single Player games don't sell" narratives!!!
(as if those old tropes haven't already been proven wrong time & time again)
Well, we will have to see if his decision pays off. I do however think this game will get a lot of exposure simply for not being on a particular platform...But that doesn't always result in success.
We'll see if this game can reach Rocket League levels
Insomniac also confirmed it here too...
When asked if Spider-Man would go to Xbox or PC after 1 year, they said, "No. It is a permanent exclusive and is published by Sony Interactive Entertainment." (source: https://twitter.com/insomni... )
Welp...Looks like we got our answer...This article is now null & void
Sony just dropping fire right now...We can't even get into God of War and Sony already throwing more fire at us!!!
Well Sony & Insomniac...We REDEEE!!!
I don't know why people let @SenorFartCushion try to change to topic from God of War...(I know why he is trying to change the subject, but why are people falling for his bait & switch...This subject is about God of War's review embargo. Zelda is completely irrelevant to the topic)
Can't wait to see what they say about the Norse lore, combat, leveling/RPG mechanics, etc...
Can I pop my popcorn now, or how many days should I wait???
Gotta take the author to task for this: "It’s fun being able to play certain Xbox titles with my PC buddies. This is another fantastic upside to Microsoft as they are able to run cross play with certain titles to the PC." (paragraph 7, sentence 1)
Xbox may have the upside for cross-console play...But cross-play with PC being another fantastic upside to Microsoft??? -- I don't think so buddy (BOTH OG Xbox & PS2 had cross-play with PC)...

The same source said the new Tomb Raider will be fully revealed April 27th...and listed PS4, XB1 & PC as the platforms

@Neonridr
I would agree if we limit the competition to only exclusives...But the reason why I think PlayStation consistently is the most desired brand of the 3 (PlayStation, Nintendo & Xbox) is because, at the current time, PS4 does exclusives better than 1 console maker & does multiplats better than the other console maker...Its the Goldie Locks console
@gangsta_red - "Don't know Uptown, how about you submit an article about it instead of deflecting the actual topic here."
No deflection here...Sony's wrong for not allowing cross-console play on Fortnite (even though it doesn't affect any consumer's wallet)...I'm wondering if you can admit Xbox is wrong on Fortnite (which can & does affect consumer's wallets)?
(btw, I'd love to submit a story about Xbox charging t...
Why are there so may articles about Sony not doing cross-console play on Fortnite's Free-2-Play Battle Royale and very few articles about how Xbox locks the same free-2-play game behind the Xbox Live Gold paywall?
If the former is anti-consumer, isn't the latter just as anti-consumer...if not more-so?

@ZeekQuattro - "Because Sony said no as they have with other games involving crossplay on rival consoles. They changed their policy from the PS2/PS3 era."
They changed their policy involving crossplay on rival consoles??? When did their policy ever involve crossplay with rival consoles…..To my knowledge their policy has been crossplay with PC (which is still their policy to this day)
