Talk:Square Enix Europe

message: 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)
thread_title:  Is this actually correct? 

message: 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  . 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)

message: :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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Logo eidos.gif

message: 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)

message: 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)
thread_title:  Games left out 

message: 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)

replies: text: It most certainly was not and is still not confirmed. Please do not lie to bolster an argument. This issue will be discussed further, and if Gamespot's integrity truly has been compromised due to pressure from Eidos, it is a notable event that must be in this article. Until then, I do agree that it should stay out for now. 216.37.86.10 20:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lock this article 

message: This is verifiable (unlike much over the Gamespot/Kane & Lynch controversy), and I think it should be added to the article.
Apparently, Eidos put 5 star reviews from several prominent gaming sources that were not real. The quotes were, but the sources either rated the game lower or did not give a rating. GameSpy gave a quote that appeared in an E3 preview- that was correct on the K&L site- but they did not give a score, and when they actually scored the game they gave it 3/5 (Arendt 2007). GameInformer had a quote on the K&L website, but GameInformer actually gave the game 7/10 and do not use stars or a scale of five. (Arendt 2007)
Kotaku (a prominent gaming blog) had a German quote on the game during an E3 preview, which they gave no rating for. The quote appeared on the official website with a five star rating that did not exist (Plunkett 2007).

replies: text: One blog, one self-published source. Kotaku's self-admitting an anti-Eidos bias. Come back with more solid sources. Will (talk) 23:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's retarded, Kotaku didn't give them five stars are wrote an article to that effect. Bias doesn't come into this at all. 66.36.148.199 (talk) 23:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Well, go see the page for Kane & Lynch -- it's documented there. Good enough for one page, good enough for the other. And it's certainly big enough news to make it onto this sparse company page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.230.42.12 (talk) 03:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Kane & Lynch- new controversy

message: I was looking through the revisions history, and it struck me as odd that the editor who deleted the "Gerstman Controversy" section has only edited articles that could potentially portray Eidos or IO Interactive in a negative light. Do you think we should add a "Criticisms" section to cover not only the Gerstman controversy, but also the mis-quoted advertising discrepincies surrounding "Kane and Lynch?" Rwiggum (talk) 04:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticisms section? 

message: Now there are reports that Eidos was demanding that reviews of the new Tomb Raider game that were less than 80% be held until the Monday after release (today) http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/11/21/uk-tomb-raider-underworld-reviews-under-810-silenced-until-monday/.

thread_title:  New new controversy 

message: Now that Eidos Interactive's name is soon defunct should we move the page to Square Enix Europe? KiasuKiasiMan (talk) 12:40, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Encyclopaedias contain many articles about historical events. Eidos plc, which constructed Eidos Interactive, was a notable company in its own right. For example it was reported in the business press as being the fastest growing company in the world over the 1990s decade (I'll see if I can find a cite for that). By all means add content to the other article though. Stephen B Streater (talk) 08:39, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Move/Rename Page?

message: Final fantasy is by no means related to EIDOS, although EIDOS is now part of Square Enix, but attributing final fantasy to EIDOS is not justified since they are developed by square, not EIDOS.
The games listed on this page should be those which is actually developed or published by EIDOS.

thread_title:  Revert v Spam 

message: Although Square Enix said earlier that it would let Eidos Interactive remain as it is currently and not meddle in its internal affairs...
So, I bet if I try to put it in the article, you eggheads would remove it under some obscure WP rule pretense so I just leave it here, do what you want. According to Jim Sterling and undisclosed source of his, Squire Enix have virtually total control over development process of at least Eidos Montreal division youtu.be/oVbj4GuuZTA?t=2m52s. 85.176.2.95 (talk) 23:47, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
