I tried.

Square Enix have today announced that they've bought Eidos, or at least a majority stake in them anyways. They've not said what they plan to do with the company or any of its franchises, but expect Tomb Raider RPGs fairly soon :p

I'm quite partial to Squidos.

It would be interesting to see what Squenixdoto plan on doing with Eidos, though they better not get in the way of me getting my Thief 4.

I've always thought something doesn't feel quite right about the whole purchase...Meh, time will tell.

Also; Please tell me they're not actually changing the name to SquEnidos. I can't even pronounce it!

I doubt they are, Eidos aren't important enough to have their name added to Square-Enix.

I thought not but I just wanted to make sure. I like new words, but only when they are pronounceable.

I hope Squenix will get involved with Deus Ex 3 now. I'd love to play a completely linear RPG with an effeminate main character with a giant sword.

Also at the final boss is god.

Why did they buy Eidos? :blink: err....any reason?

A mixture of Eidos on the verge of death and Squeenix having many pennies and wanting a bigger slice in the western market, me thinks.

^ That would be about right, actually. They've had their eye on Eidos for a while now, since SCi (the original parent company) got into a bit of bother financially.

I can't see anything in common with the two though -_-

Fair enough they could pump funding into a new tomb raider but it'll still be just as mind fryingly dull as the last iteration :P a puzzle indeed...

I can, they both make shit sequals to what were originally good franchises.

10 points :P but I meant games-wise.

Then that's a good reason to buy them out, now they have someone to try out different genres, also Eidos are mainly europe based a region Squenix used to hate.

Shame to see the last significant British publisher get sold to a foreign company. Who have we got left now, Codemasters?

If it's a tomb raider RPG your after they should re-make angel of darkness then actualy finnish that seres.;) Seriously, I liked the new direction core was taking Lara in it's just that the game had horrible controlls and was a buggy piece of shit.:biggrin:

What new direction? You mean where Lara decided that which ever puzzle you did "levelled up" her body parts so she can move bigger blocks?

I meant the setting and the way you could talk to people buy weapons etc. but yeah that whole body strength thing did suck a bit.:P

Lara's Tits have reached Level 4! They can now jiggle at 4x the normal human rate!

Sorry, first thing that came into my head when I read that.

Must resist...making...Dead or Alive joke!!! >_<

But still! Let's see the topic thrown open to wild speculation of what the new mutant merger will create!
