Square Enix recently hastily completed its purchase of UK game publisher Eidos, best known for its early oppai physics experiment Tomb Raider and its cosplay simulator Hitman, spending some £85 million on the company.
The Eidos group filed losses of £100 million in 2008 (due, they say, to restructuring), and as the below graphs show, has experienced plummeting or stagnant sales of its top franchises in recent years, leading some to wonder whether this deal was well advised?
Presumably Square Enix has plans, very good ones we might hope.

Only liked TR:1
…. only if I could get a freaking…
Remake of all the games within a single game all with current gen graphics, will I even think about spending another dime on this franchise.
Its not even worth renting now, since corporations put their s♥♥t stains on it.
We all know what this means, Lara Croft will make a cameo appearance in Kingdom Hearts 4….
Wow. There are so many contradictions here, I’m having trouble imagining the ramifications of this.
Also, I find it hilariously (sad) that Anniversary sold fewer than Angel of Darkness.
Don’t forget that Angel of Darkness was bundled with alot of Video Game cards due to it being an *advanced* Direct X 9 game. It even had a Benchmark in it.
need lara in maid outfit
mizugi is fine too
Well that would be epic. If the graphics of FFXIII is anything to go by, Tomb Raider is just going to get a whole lot better with that jaw-dropping Lara Croft…. The gameplay and story line will get sorted out one way or another, its not like its that hard to do anyway. Tomb Raider has been nothing more than a fan serviced based adventure/shooting game. =P
OTOH though, Hitman could be in trouble….
Yes. All we need is materia mixing to let Lara leap around even more rediculously than before.
