Is this actually correct?

From the article: "Of these, Deus Ex and Thief no longer exist as franchises as their teams have been disbanded." Eidos still owns the IP to them, however; and while the original development teams have closed down shop, they could still resurrect the franchises at their whim and stick a whole new development team behind to work on them. Just think the quote should be revised or removed completely. Shadowrun 00:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also they forgot to mention the Braveheart game on PC

Better Business Bureau

I am not sure why some people seem to think the BBB report is so important it need to go into the opening section of this item. Remember Eidos is a European company primarily and the BBB is a US only operation. Also, Eidos has 8 complaints in 3 years, Electronic Arts has 359 [1]. I can only assume the editor has some form of grudge against Eidos.

If you really feel this is worth including in this item, then it should be in a separate heading called "Criticisms". Refer to the Electronic Arts item. Please discuss here before reverting or adding again- thanks MrMarmite 20:24, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Logo eidos.gif

Image:Logo eidos.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

RPL video format

A proprietary video codec created and used by Eidos in their pc titles around 97-99 it seems to be similiar to mpeg but inserts fake scanlines into the videostream instead of truly scaling the image.Atirage 13:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Games left out

Why isn't the Gex series of games mentioned in this? I'm pretty sure that the Gex series was an Eidos game series. there are 3 installments in the series which are all for the Playstation console. Ok hold on, never mind... Only number three had the Eidos brand on it...

Gex made by Crystal Dynamics Gex: Enter The Gecko made by Crystal Dynamics and Midway Gex: Deep Cover Gecko made by Eidos

I own the games and looked at them which is my "cited" thingy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.197.135.28 (talk) 23:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rumours and gossip

This is an encyclopaedia, not a repository for gossip and opinions. If there is any official comment from either the reviewer, his erstwhile employer of Eidos then maybe it's worth adding something, until then it is just one persons opinion on the matter. Those who keep adding it back in will be considered vandals, seeing as the first person to remove it was an admin MrMarmite 19:38, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lock this article

It has come under attack by GameSpot forumers. I don't think any of us editors want to clean this shit up. Optichan 22:07, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, lock it now and while it has been confirmed it had nothing to do with it, I've requested the same for Kane and Lynch. Stabby Joe 15:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
