10 Video Game Developers No Longer Making Games For YOU
4. Eidos Interactive
What They've Done: Legacy of Kain series, Deus Ex, TimeSplitters, Tomb Raider
What They're Up to Now: Becoming SquareEnix Europe, making trudged out sequels, and not making a new Legacy of Kain
To say the 32bit generation made a lot of developers big sounds like hyperbole, but in the case of Eidos, it's spot on. PlayStation owners were treated to the likes of the Tomb Raider series, Legacy of Kain, before the PS2 saw the almighty TimeSplitters and the first Just Cause take root on there.
They also helped bring Deus Ex and Hitman to PC, and then the next generation of consoles, even acting as publisher for PC ports of Final Fantasy's VII and VIII. The seventh generation of consoles saw new IP's like Kane and Lynch... even if they did suck.
Fast-forward to 2009, where Eidos is now a shell of its former self, following a merger with SquareEnix.
We've had some hits in the rebooted Deus Ex: Human Revolution, as well as not-True Crime title, Sleeping Dogs. But as far as that?
Well, besides some shallow Tomb Raider sequels, a weird deviation to mobile gaming seemingly out of nowhere. Instead, we all know what they should really be focusing on...
Make a new Legacy of Kain, you cowards!
