But...but...Hitman =[
Well I was going to try and say something smug about tomb raider. But now that you mentioned it this does kind of suck. After all Blood Money is my Favourite game.
At least give them the benefit of doubt! They *might* do things properly :p

What about Hitman? Will they make him feminine (?)

I think they'll still be working on the same games.

Eh, compared to the original games, kind of. Legend was too short, I thought, and Anniversary had some extremely stupid game mechanics (like "NO SAVING WHEN REPLAYING LEVELS!"), but I thought they were still entertaining games.

But with a Japanese company/influence, I'll bet on the following:
SPIKEY HAIR

She uses swords now, or has ludicrous guns that shoot fireballs or some shit, totally unexplained technologically and not part of an ancient race's arsenal or some shit.

Bigger boobs/ass, and more pronounced sexuality (I think the head dev or one of the older head devs said something like "Lara's sex appeal is that she's sexy without trying to be sexy". With a Japanese designer either we'll go the way of "cutesy wutesy" or "intentionally sexualized", maybe.

Or maybe they'll just keep the westerners who designed the previous games on the team and let them more or less do what they've been doing.

Activision and Blizzard merge.
id bought by Zenimax (Bethesda).
Midway bought by Warner Bros.
Bioware and Pandemic bought by EA.
Eidos bought by Square Enix.

The end is really fucking nigh

I thought that they were just cutting Eidos' marketing guys and were leaving dev. teams in to do the same shit they were already doing. It's not like Square just bought Eidos for their games and fired them all...is it?

It's sucked since number 3, I think number 4 didn't even work properly on my sisters computer (bug where you couldn't finish the level, due to clipping), she was more into those games than me anyway.

Yea, but from now it will suck with japanese inspiration... oh the horror....
japanese tomb raider? I guess Lara is going to look twelve in the next game.
they will have Bridget as the new lead role, suddenly, the swimming sections have a whole new fear factor to them.

As long as the Eidos branch in Motreal is still up, I dont care. Hopefully they'll turn out Thief 4 before going under.

Apparently there is at least one thing both east and west have in common.
Just like Yahtzee said boobs sell games. Yes sad but true.

EDIT: Apparently this guy is a "fan" of Yahtzee:

Square aren't all that bad. I declare you all to be over-reacting. Or under-reacting in the right direction.

Sheesh, you're blowing it out of proportion.
They won't make a Tomb Raider JRPG, or Legacy of Kain JRPG for that matter. It's a completely ridiculous idea.

However my guess is that Eidos will continue as it has done before. The only difference is that they'll have a lot more money to put into developing new games, or making horrible sequels.
Don't worry lads, Tomb Raider will still suck ass with Square in charge.

Great. Can't wait to see Kain's, 47's, and Lynch's new blond haircut and loose clothing.
Oh the horror in this... If they mess Kain or Garrett (Thief), I will destroy them.
Didn't you get the memo? Garrett is now working against a company he once worked with, he has amnesia, and he is spunky and a girl now!
