Crystal reveals why ‘Temple of Osiris’ is launching on PS4, Xbox One and PC only "For us, it was a matter of focus, it was a matter of setting the type of experience, the type of fidelity we wanted to bring, upping everything from both quality standards and how these characters look in game," says Amos and adding, "From effects and atmospherics, the reactive surfaces, real-time reflections, all of this stuff and amping it up to four player [was important]." Any time you have the tools to offer the best experience, you jump on it. Rather than porting a version from the previous generation to the new generation with some enhancements, the better experience would come from …

I can't even express in words how angered I am by this announcement. All of this "console exclusive" rubbish has gone too far. They can not pass this off with a "Microsoft have believed in us from the beginning" excuse -- no, it's all about who has the deeper pockets. What about us, the fans, who have believed in and stuck with the Tomb Raider series since 1996! I will not be buying an XBOX ONE just for Rise of the Tomb Raider, and now, I won't be purchasing Temple of Osiris. You've gone and done this the wrong way Crystal Dynamics. So very wrong. I hope, at the very least, that another announcement comes saying it's only a timed release. Source: http:…
