|
 |
The situation for Eidos is now desperate.
"If an offer for the Company has not been announced in accordance with Rule 2.5 of the Takeover Code or alternative funding has not been put in place by 25 March 2005, or if any such offer lapses, RBS has the right to require the Company to undertake an orderly disposal of assets, and/or intellectual property, of an amount equal to the facility plus associated fees," the statement continued.
"In that event, and if such disposal is not agreed by 22 April 2005, the adequacy of the Company's working capital facilities cannot be assured."
In other bad news, Eidos confirmed that new Hitman and Tomb Raider games have slipped to fiscal 2006, with a "strategic decision" having been taken to delay the next titles in both series from fiscal 2005, which ends on June 30th.

Not really.
By the time you're done screwing around with the publisher, devs make very little per copy. Considering that they make quite a bit per month, your purchase will (at best) go 15% into funding a minute or so of a coder's time, and 85% into funding a new yacht for somebody. So, think of the rich people. 500,000 of us pirates could actually rob some rich man of a new yacht...
, indeed.

I was a fan of the first three Tomb raider games but then they just messed it up. Remember the last one?

i thought tomb raider 2 was by far the best one :S anyway i hope these get enough money to at least finish production of this game from shares or sale of assets. they can't just can 2 of the best known series like this.

You know, I had a dream last night about walking into EB Games and buying the next eidos game. I came home, installed it, and watched a 40-minute "intro" gang-bang between Lara Croft, the Hitman guy, and Garett the thief. First, there was peanut butter, then...
...what are you looking at me like that for?
Who's this Injurious guy? I don't sound like anybody! What is it with you people?! What do you want from me? I want my pink elephant lawyer, you bastards!!!

lol me was joking ,just don't like it especialy Angelina Jolie with her silicon lips & tits  |
how are bouncing boobies a 'lesbian concept'? sure some lesbians will like them, some straight guys will as well.
and for your info, angelina jolie has naturally big lips, some girls just have lips like that, they really don't look siliconed at all. and she has natural tits too, she wore padding in the tomb raider movie.
as for the tomb raider series - i liked the original 5. last revelation and chronicles were milking the cash cow and were just more of the same, but at least the same was a good thing. but Angel of Darkness... was just terrible.
as for eidos - a great example of whats wrong with the world. faceless publishers grabbing all the money and the actual working people, the developers, having to feed off scraps.

angelinas titties and lips aren't fake stop saying they are 
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.
