That's all we know, no firm details, and safe to say they're hardly going to go and announce it's coming to other formats or not until the deal has expired with Microsoft as that would be awful publicity for an exclusivity coup, timed or otherwise. That's the long and short of it. Can we please return to our regularly scheduled programming?
Square Enix also confirmed to Polygon that Microsoft will publish the upcoming game and noted that its "partnership with Microsoft on Rise of the Tomb Raider does have a duration, but we aren’t discussing those details at this time and are focused on collaborating to deliver a great game on Xbox One and Xbox 360."

Resogun Valiant Hearts The great war Child of light Velocity 2X to name a few.

I've sinked a lot of hours into it, and you'll see a lot of people have in the Destiny thread. So it is a fun game, but it is flawed and involves a lot of grinding, so not for everybody.

Something better will come along soon, something that's actually fun. The only thing that kept me playing was the psychological compulsion loop grind, it certainly wasn't because I was having fun and once I recognised that it was easy to put down and walk away. Of course I heard the Raid in the game is great but there's no way in hell I'm putting in 20-30 hours more just to unlock it. It's pretty much Phantasy Star Online with guns but PSO was a lot more enjoyable. If you have the money for a monthly subscription you'll get more out of FFXIV.

Benzino wrote: » The loop grind does play a part, and you are correct, the raid is fun with a bunch of people, but the main reason why people keep playing it is the shooting mechanics imo. It is very tight, and in terms of FPS, it probably has the best shooting mechanics out there on next-gen consoles. It's funny, cause despite the numerous FPS games out there, a lot of them don't get that right imo (I'm looking at you Bioshock).
