42 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 So, Square Enix bought out Eidos. What do you think? What can Square Enix do with Tomb Raider/Hitman/Time Spliters? It almost boggles the mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I wonder if it has anything to do with that Eidos published FF7 for the PC for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazygecko Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 They probably need a stronger foothold in the western market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlagshipAmadeus Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Does this mean Timesplitters 4 will get finished That would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pezman Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 They probably need a stronger foothold in the western market. And the platforming genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Wolf Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 In my perspective, for any properties they might be getting, this is a fairly worthless buyout. Unless Square intends to further pursue the mediocre third person shooter market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin Crust Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I think the best thing to do would be to let Edios run their own thing and then collect the profits. Cause God knows how useless they would be if they actually teamed up on anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason they got bought was pretty much a lack of profits. http://www.marketwatch.com/tools/quotes/intchart.asp?symb=UK:EID&sid=122506&dist=TQP_chart_date&freq=1&time=9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 They probably need a stronger foothold in the western market. i'm leaning towards this. with SE opening a cali-based office, they're probably screaming for experienced game personnel. and, like it or not, those three major series (hitman, tomb raider, and time splitters) have had moments of brilliance. i personally love hitman 4's gameplay, particularly on pc. of course, with all the rumors about ff7 lately, the fact that they published the pc version likely helps.

Tensei Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I like how people trivialize the Tomb Raider series while forgetting that the original pretty much redefined and reinnovated the entire action/adventure genre on PC and can IMO be considered as much of a milestone for PC gaming as, say, Doom or System Shock. Also the last few games (from Legend onwards) have been very good. That said, I'd love to see what kind of games this unholy union will spawn, if nothing else, it'll be interesting.

DarkeSword Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 What will happen? Well, based on the fact that they STILL haven't made Bubble Bobble VII: Advent Children, despite acquiring Taito years ago, I'd say nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivi22 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 What do you think? What can Square Enix do with Tomb Raider/Hitman/Time Spliters? It almost boggles the mind... I'm fairly certain Eidos doesn't even own Timesplitters; you know, seeing as Free Radical developed it and it was EA who published the third game. If anything I'd like the Legacy of Kain series to see a proper conclusion, but that would never happen with Square calling the shots. Best we'd get is a sub par sequel. Especially since Amy Hennig works for Naughty Dog now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadofsky Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 But FF14 is going to be an FF7 remake.....Yea, I heard that rumor 3 years ago. Square needs to MOVE ON. I'm so sick of Final Fantasy VII, I don't care if it was to appease the fanboys to release all that stuff relating/expanding to it. All they did was whore the dang game out. And I'd honestly like to call them on that. How can you possibly call that a new game when all it is is a remake? IF that's true. All I hope, is that Square allows Eidos to focus on making their content, and doesn't get too far involved. I don't mind Square's involvement, but I'd rather not see them try to make a Tomb Raider themselves. Legend is by far the best, Anniversary is just a remake, I'll admit, not necessary, but a polite nod to fans, and was a good game to boot. Underworld was just a bit too ambitious, good, but not great. But then again, if Square can make a brand new great game out of the Tomb Raider franchise, I'll gladly eat my words. All I can hope for is good things to come from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj Mokram Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Don't worry about the next Tomb Raider... Tetsuya Nomura will probably be in charge of the character design. So you should be playing Kingdom's Raider soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
