I really hope they don't cancel the next Tomb Raider or my wife will freak.

If they'd made better games, this might not have been an issue.

I wonder how bad those games were that even SCi/Eidos would acknowledge them to be of "low quality"?

Shit. I can't believe they canceled 14 Wii games.

Yeah, now we'll only have 986 other shitty Wii games to choose from in 2008 (SSMB and MK notwithstanding.)

so they canceled all the NEW ideas and decided to stick with rehashing the same three franchises over and over? Yay!

Hope they get what they deserve!

I agree wholeheartedly. Game development has gotten so expensive that the creative ideas are too risky to turn into games. The only things people are willing to fund the big budgets for are the tried-and-true moneymakers.

This not only makes me a sad panda, but also is bad for the industry as a whole.

Someone please buy them for the DeusEx IP and dissolve the company afterward.

Bethesda, Take-Two, or Crytek(i dunno, just throwin' it out there) deserve to be doing DeusEx 3, not Eidos.

They have gone from being a great publisher, to a great publisher of shite.

I remember playing TimeSplitters 1 and 2, that was the prime of the company.

I though TRLegend was good, but TRA was a let-down.

They will use the development budget from the cancelled games to improve the physics of Lara's Breasts.

Well, it's nice to see that those projects were canned because of quality...
No, no, I joke, I rarely believe news like this. It's just a factor of "we're not profiting enough" which usually translates to "we want more money to line our pockets, fuck our workforce who makes us rich" followed by layoffs. They got themselves into the shit with everyone over the whole Gertsmann issue and the fact they make a load of shit because of executive decisions to cut corners and stick to small budgets to increase profit margins.

Fuck Eidos.

Their current strategy of milking key franchises until they bleed hasn't panned out. So they decide to milk harder?

Have to wonder how much of this Eidos hate is a hold-over from the whole Gerstmann business. I mean, all parties involved have said that the whole thing was a massive case of bad timing and straws that broke the wrong camel's backs. The interweb...where you're guilty until proven innocent....and probably still guilty after that.

oh please people. Gerstmann-gate actually probably helped them as Kane and Lynch sold like 1.4 million copies. If you look closely at the history, the problem was management. A few games were delayed and the stocks tanked. The upper management was forced out by shareholders and a new CEO restructed the company. They are trying to slim the company and make better games. Stop with the Gerstmann shite already, the only person it affected was Gerstmann himself. CNET is still alive and well. Eidos is still in business. Internet conspiracies are meh.
