Source: The Hollywood Reporter: Daisy Ridley Confirms Talks About Playing Lara Croft in 'Tomb Raider' Reboot - 3/21/2016

Three points I want to make: 1. Personally, I prefer Fallout 3 over the 2013's Tomb Raider reboot. In fact, XCOM: Enemy Within and the 2013's Tomb Raider are my two top favorite games from the past two or three years; (and both are getting a sequel!) 2. However, I was very disappointed by what I saw in the two videos. Everything in them seems like a rehash of the 2013 reboot. The gameplay does not seem to offer anything new or different from the last game. 3. Microsoft's attempt to use Rise of the Tomb Raider as a "timed" exclusive - as the Xbox's answer to the phenomenal Uncharted series on Playstation - is very a bad business move. Microsoft does not seem to get the point of having "exclusives", (which is why Xbox One has been hammered by PS4 in sales since launch.) The point of having exclusives is to sell console by making sure people can't play those exclusive on anywhere else, ever. No one would buy a console for any, ahem, "timed" exclusive. I certainly won't. Especially when people know ahead of time that the so-called "exclusive" will be of a limited "timed" and then be available on their preferred platform later, (i.e., the PC in my case.) I will be playing this one on the PC. I do not own an Xbox One and do not play to buy one. I will never buy another Xbox again - Xbox has permanently lost me as a customer after my extremely negative experience with the quality and customer service of Xbox 360. I currently do not own a PS4. However, I plan to buy one later for Naughty Dog exclusives. That is whole point of having exclusives: Uncharted series and The Last of Us are real, true, definitive, real exclusives, not some "timed" BS. You can't play Uncharted and The Last of Us on any other platform. I can't play the the PC. I can't play the on any other platform. If I want to play them, so I will have to do son the Playstation. The same cannot be said for Rise of the Tomb Raider on the Xbox. Seriously, Microsoft needs to up its exclusive game, and I am not talking about "timed" exclusives, or "console" exclusive, (meaning it is also on the PC,) or exclusive "DLC" for multiplat titles. Those are BS, not exclusives.
