Square Enix and Eidos announce first collaboration

by Justin McElroy { Jun 12th 2009 at 4:15PM }

Now that Eidos lives under Square-Enix's crystalline, spire-laden roof, it makes sense that we'd see the two companies collaborating on something. We just didn't think it'd be this soon. Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada recently told Gamasutra that it was "possible" a Square team could work with an Eidos IP "but what's more important is that the two companies, for example, are going to be creating a new IP together."

Not the Lara Croft RPG we were hoping for, but interesting nonetheless.

Whatever, that just means they're swapping people around.

Although this post is totally worth it to see Lara with gunblades!

Lara Croft never gave me wet dreams. I actually liked the game play of the first few games. I really enjoyed the exploration, not the mindless repetitive killing we see in games today, like Infamous and Prototype. Who create beautiful worlds, but we never have time to appreciate them, because we're just blowing everything up over and over again like mindless drones. What's sad is the first TR game will never be recognized for helping revolutionizing video games, because all anybody remembers from TR is the sex appeal of Lara Croft.

mindless repetitive killing in inFamous? you do know that you could just run/fly/jump/grind rails around the city without having to fight or kill anyone right?

uncle jesse @ Jun 12th 2009 4:51PM

You're right. It did revolutionize video games... boobs jiggle and are bigger than ever nowadays.

Ryan Hamilton @ Jun 12th 2009 9:18PM

Yeah you can do all that, without any real purpose. The only real goal is to kill and destroy.

TR was the first third person platform type game with puzzle solving, minus Mario64, but that was cartoony. TR is predecessor of every modern game like that, the new prince of persia 3d franchise, God of War. The list goes on.

Awww, here goes...

what have you done?

Shinohara @ Jun 12th 2009 4:32PM

Make her shirt white and she'd look like Tifa with a ponytail.

uncle jesse @ Jun 12th 2009 4:33PM

Yikes! That picture reminds me of when Eddie went to Toon Town and saw Jessica Rabbit looking all seductive... until she revealed herself. Nightmares!
