SCi renamed Eidos as buyout rumors swirl

isn't bono from U2 on the board of directors of eidos? if square acquires eidos does that mean U2 soundtracks to final fantasy 14? :0

Eidos make some amazing games - I want to see some sequels to games like Just Cause, Total Overdose, Time Splitters, Hitman and Deus Ex.

Tomb raider was a great game but Eidos failed to add enough new content in the sequals to make another game people wanted to buy. Because EA's thing is stunting the evolution of a game sequal tombraider will probably continue to be the same as the last.

WE must not let EA takeover the gaming world.

Adios Eidos

Solution to there fiancial troubles: Time Splitters and Commandos 4 (but none of that take-a-step-backwards Commandos 3 or Commandos Front Lines RTS-FPS crap)

Wheres the new Time Splitters?

Yeah where is the new Legacy of Kain? Eidos is killing me not making a new one.

Urgh, the daily mail. Along with the daily express its one of those idiotic conservative newspapers that has you believe society will cause the world to end by 2012 and that Labour are somehow still left-wing despite having been New Labour since the mid-90's. Of the British papers that claims to be a source of real news, its one of the worst and least reliable by far. Was reading the daily express today and the only thing that qualifies as gaming news involves the death of a student who was burgled. They specifically HAVE to mantion that it was an Xbox 360 that was stolen, as if games are somehow at fault. I beg of you GS, stop quoting the "Diana paper."

The Daily Mail, now this is epic fail. Eidos need to start making some good games.

Lol agreed. Dont forget the Daily Star :D

Lol The Daily Mail as a source? Why not go the whole hog and quote from The Sun. Over here the newspapers a joke, with headlines focusing on sex, immigrants and murders.

good god, please, not ea.

They should totally make a new Carmageddon

I would love to see UbiSoft take them under their wings. I mean, in my eyes it's a perfect match. Lara Croft with Assassin's Creed creator? Deus Ex 3 in the hands of some very capable guys but with the financial backing finished? Anything over EA actually! But I think the best option would be UbiSoft.

All this talk of Ubisoft is making me want to play Beyond Good & Evil 2 more and more... GIVE ME BGE 2 ALREADY!!

Oh please sell to Ubisoft if you sell to anyone, EA (while better than it was) is still Evil Also Ubisoft is far better at developing third person games (Assassin's creed, etc) so it would be a big boost to the Tomb Raider series, and we might see another Legacy of Kain!

Vae Victus...

One word... Kain!

Erm, Atari isn't British... only Phil Harrisson is...

Its good that Ea didnt get there

Ubisoft would be great, they can make Rabbids Lara :)

I hope Eidos makes Timesplitters 4. I need a next-gen Timesplitters!

well at least EA isnt buying them

Man, i really enjoyed Tomb Raider Underworld. What will happen to TR series? Please let it be Ubisoft, i don't want EA.

Oloryn. Yes, because the video game software market is crashing.

We NEED another awesome Soul Reaver game. 8)

*raises eyebrows* Well, right off the bat, I can see one good thing from this: Ubisoft Montreal taking the reins of Tomb Raider. With their 3rd-person action pedigree (Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia, and Splinter Cell, namely), UbiMont will be just the kiss of life (or better *wink*) that Tomb Raider needs.

As long as we get a new Legacy Of Kain game they can do whatever they want...

Buying Eidos would be a really expensive way of buying Tomb Raider, which itself has resumed its downward spiral thanks to the under whelming Tomb Raider Underworld.

A very interesting situation indeed. Will have to keep my eye on this...

Eidos is financially troubled? Well, make a new Legacy of Kain and my $60 and change is yours.

Good idea on the name change - not many have heard of SCi - but nearly everyone has heard of Eidos. The buy out thing - do whatever needs to be done to keep the games flowing and the programmers paid.

well this is interesting.
