Default Square-Enix want to Takeover Eidos

http://kotaku.com/5101776/square-eni...-bid-for-eidos

Quote:
Square Enix are serious about cracking the Western market with games that don't include the words "Final" and "Fantasy". Want to know how serious? They just made a takeover bid for Eidos. Home to Lara Croft, Eidos have been in a financial pickle of late, and are already in takeover talks with Warner Bros. Square Enix making a run at them, though, is far more interesting.
Warner Bros are, according to those in the know, the front-runners to snag the deal. They already own 20% of Eidos, making a takeover purchase a cheap one. But Square can't be counted out.
Square boss Yoichi Wada has already popped in for tea and biscuits at Eidos-owned IO Interactive (Hitman, Kane & Lynch), and will be flying back to the UK soon to "move the deal forward".

That's interesting.

Rofl. Eidos will probably cockslap them like Tecmo did.

I don't think it'll go anywhere. And if Square Enix DOES win the bid, it'll only cost more than it will ultimately be worth.

If they did takeover, the first thing they should do is remove any memory of the Tomb Raider movies from the games. SHE DOESN'T NEED SIDEKICKS IN HERE MANSION!

And Tetsuya Nomura would immediately redesign Lara Croft with spiky blonde hair and shiny blue eyes, and she'd have more zips and belts than ever before, and she'd wear a black leather outfit not unlike some sort of fetishist.

I read this at MVC.

Warner wants them
Square wants them
EA wants them
Ubisoft wants them

And by "them" I mean they want Tomb Raider and Hitman.

As much as I would enjoy such a redesign, if it's from Nomura, I'm going to have to say "No, thank you", take one last longing glance at it and throw it away.

And when I said leather, I was thinking more along the lines of this:



BUT THAT WAS AWKWARD, MY SISTER WALKING IN WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT PICTURE.

Lulz . If they did Final Fantasy cross-overs I would throw up. They couldn't shit on the Tomb Raider series anymore.

The next Itadaki Street game will feature Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider and Hitman, all in one shitty little package.

... I think I just vomited at the idea.

I seriously wish that Square-Enix would stop trying to kiss the wests ass. They need to stick to making top-notch JRPGS...it is going to be a damn sad day when Square makes an FPS RPG. Leave that to the WEST.

It's a business. Trends in gaming change and they have to change with it. Making an FPS isn't going to affect you at all. How about just not buying it?

Also if they did by some miracle acquire Eidos, it wouldn't be Square-Enix making the games. Eidos would just be their subsidiary. Barely anything would change.

Oh god can't believe I'm actually admitting this, but these buckles/emo/cows/cocks/Nomura comments have been fagged out to the max that even I'm getting a visual intoxication just by glancing at them.

I would not mind this,as CD(crystal dynamics)canot make a tomb raider game woth anything....the people who like tomb raider now are pretty stupid and are glad that the games are ment for 2 year olds(their brains)

I think that square enix could add some actual length to the game and maybe give it a difficulty and bring up the graphics a notch

although everyone else seemes to think that tomb raider would become an RPG.....some people are just dumd.
