Yeah they just dont understand that if they dont make a quality game then its not going to sell!!! The only good game that has come through them is timesplitters 2.

Well, As if Eidos could loose anymore respect. Now they wont be the publisher of TS3 on any console, by choice apparently. So you TS fans on cube can be assured that it will make its way to cube.

Seems too dumb if you ask me. Im think Free Radical (owners of the game) probably didnt want them too.

OR...

EA (Madden, Medal of Honor, Def Jam Vendetta, Bond, SSX3)
Namco (SCII)
Konami (MGS Twin Snakes)
LucasArts (Rogue Leader, CloneWars)
Free Radical (Timesplitters)
Volition (Red Faction)
Square (Final Fantasy)

Maybe I'm the only one, but I own or plan to own many games from these developers/publishers for my Cube, and I'm a multiple console owner...

At any rate- what software did Eidos have planned for GCN IF Hitman 2 went platinum? Not a damn thing, and the console would've lacked support Regardless due to the company's "tradition" of avoiding Nintendo, AKA "competition in making games".

You're under arrest for making a sweeping generalization.

Well, I remember all the efforts Nintendo made to make the GCN easy to program for and cheap. Seems like that isn't enough when companies always bring their games to their console after doing them for other consoles.

I got an Atari game for my cube

By far the bulk of my GCN purchases were Nintendo games... followed by Sega, then EA.

Eh overall I don't think it's that big of a deal since a lot of Eidos games are crap and weren't coming to GC anyways...

But I likes me some Legacy of Kain, and it's possible that the upcoming LoK game would be released on GC eventually... so that's one (possible) game that'd (possibly) be worth getting that won't be released on GC...

Damn, I guess I'm the only one with more 3rd-party titles than NCL ones...oh well.

As long as we're making "sweeping generalizations", aren't most PS2 owners known for having only Madden and GTA?
