Eidos being bought by Square Enix

Postby Dae » Mon Feb 16, 09 9:11 am

computerandvideogames.com wrote:Japanese powerhouse Square Enix has made a bid to acquire British Tomb Raider house Eidos, it's been confirmed.

The Final Fantasy company has made a firm bid of around £84m, stating that Eidos' roster of franchises - including Tomb Raider and Kane & Lynch - are "highly complementary to our business and will accelerate our aggressive expansion into Western markets." [...]


I remember that a couple of years ago I read somewhere that Eidos is worth at least £150m, guess financial crisis is what sank them.

The supposed consequence of takeover: :P
User K^2 from Eidos Forums wrote:That's just one of the changes required by the new specs sent to Eidos Montreal. Other notable changes:
- Adam is now a teenager.
- Option to play as male or female is cut. Instead, Adam will look like both.
- Bio-cells will now store mana.
- Certain augs will now have a level requirement.
- The retractable sword arm aug is increased in size to house a bigger sword.
- Tentacle aug is removed, because in Japan, anything with tentacles is an automatic AO rating.
- One of the bosses is now a giant crustacean.

I was going to post it but I figured no point considering it hasn't happened yet.

Also, the main consequence would be BELTS AND ZIPPERS

Regeneration:

Heavily wounded ? You think to have no chance ? This augmentation let you fuck yourself, have a baby and teach him everything you know so that you can fuck up a new hermaphrodite robot.

Eidos Montreal is most likely a subsidiary, so it's being included into the deal as well.

The final boss is God and it has something to do with the birth of all human life. It also has wings.

I take it the development team doesn't change, so it doesn't really matter?
