Episode 375: And We’re BackEpisode 375: And We’re Back
After a problematic week, Episode 375 is now up, with tons of news. So much that there’s no room for a Gaming Flashback or a Gaming History.
The news includes:
- Joystiq no longer scoring” reviews
- New Harmonix survey points to Rock Band 4
- Hatred gets an AO rating in US
- Disney, Activision both claim landslide victory in toys-to-life category
- Microsoft maintaining $349 price point on Xbox Ones
- Windows 10 includes in-home game streaming from Xbox One
This week’s Question of the Week: “What, if any, was your favorite part of Rock Band?”
Eidos and Square Enix Birth Great ThingsEidos and Square Enix Birth Great Things
Eidos was founded in 1990 and has been the king of its own destiny since its inception. As part of Square-Enix, Eidos and its destiny were called into question, would they continue to run the show or would they become one with Square-Enix. Square-Enix has come out to say they’ll be leaving Eidos to themselves and allow creativity to flow between the companies.
“This is an exciting beginning to what I believe will be an incredible journey. I am very happy that Phil Rogers has agreed to lead Eidos in what I see as an international marriage between our two companies, a marriage that will give birth to great things. Eidos is a content rich company and a culturally significant business to the Square Enix group.” (kotaku)
Square-Enix is playing it safe with this acquisition because this isn’t a great enviroment for shaking things up internally within a development studio. Eidos is well known for Tomb Raider, Hitman, Deus Ex, Thief and many other great projects and have built a solid foundation for the future.
A mind-share between these two groups is a powerful enemy to the competitors if they’re able to open a good dialog between the two companies and share resources, tools and engines. In a world of cost savings and salary cuts, leaning on each others resources to build a better product is a win.
At least we won’t have to call them Square-Enix-Edios because that’s just a mouthful!
