@A_BabyRed_Yoshi There was a wave-survival mode that could be played solo, but seriously, you're gonna wanna try it online. It's excellent.

Seems to be the most divisive game in the series so far, but as always there seems to be more glowing reviews than scathing ones. And as always, my friends and I had a blast in the campaign and zombies, and we're just dipping our toes into the multiplayer, but it feels excellent. Does that make us shallow people? Dunno.

I will be buying every squirrel-related Project Spark bundle and making the most ultimate squirrel-related game with them.

X360: Lost Odyssey + SSX
X1: Rare Replay (Conker!) + Halo MCC + Ori and the Blind Forest

I really want to get Project Spark, but part of me keeps thinking we're going to see it on Games with Gold sooner or later...

Showstealer for me. I can't wait to play this game. Those water effects are unbelievable!

There are more achievements worth 0 gamerscore than there are worth 35? 0.o I'd be pissed if I was awarded an achievement that wasn't worth anything. I wasn't even aware they could do that!

From now until school starts, I'm focusing on building up my gamerscore on Xbox 360 ahead of getting an X1 this holiday I'm going to look so MLG when I show it to my new friends.

@Tasuki Capcom's year-over-year operating income has been rising for the better part of a decade. They're hardly the most profitable game publisher out there, but they're in the black and have way more than enough money to develop and publish a game (especially something like Street Fighter, which really only receives mostly cosmetic upgrades with each new iteration).

The only official mention in a press release by either Sony or Capcom indicates that they had entered into what they called a "strategic partnership," which is just a fancy way of saying Sony gave Capcom a little extra tip to publish their game exclusively on their system. Capcom in no way needed extra funding to finish or publish the game.

@PokeMario Well, the "benefit" you're talking about is extremely minimal this generation, seeing as how both consoles are using the same CPU architecture and somewhat similar GPUs. We saw the best graphics last generation from PS3 exclusives like Beyond: Two Souls, because the cell processor was confusing and complicated to develop for but possessed a ton of potential. In contrast, PS4 and X1 are both just middling PCs with custom operating systems, basically. So making a third-party game exclusive does absolutely nothing but screw over a sizable number of potential players.

tl;dr I'm really happy this has finally been confirmed to be multiplat even though I'll still be playing it on Xbox

@flameboy84 I do feel the same about both games.

Microsoft "financing" Tomb Raider and Sony "financing" Street Fighter are a different beast entirely from something like, say, Nintendo financing (no quotation marks this time) Bayonetta 2.

Truth is, neither Microsoft nor Sony financed anything. They bought exclusivity deals from publishers who were going to publish those games anyway (both Capcom and Squeenix have tons of money already to publish their games, but hey, if a bigger company like Sony or Microsoft offers to foot the bill to fuel their side of the console exclusive fire, why should they say no?)

Don't believe for a second that Street Fighter V wasn't going to come out without Sony's help after SFIV sold 8 million copies. That's just corporate dribble.

Good. When big-budget games go exclusive it hurts everybody. The only time a game should be exclusive is when it's a new, independently funded IP (this is how most great new IPs are born in the first place). A franchise such as Tomb Raider has no business being exclusive to either platform.

Great deals!
