Eidos to Pull GCN Support

won't matter in the slightest. cube owners only buy Nintendo, Sega and Capcom games.

Not too worried about eidos, not like they make any good games anyways.

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.

Actually, that's pretty accurate.

*checks his cube games...*

hey, he's right! Hell, i own a cube and PS2 and still went with the PS2 version of Soul Calibur 2.

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?

PS2 owners are in bed with Madden, and hop on the Madden train each and every year. They spend 50 dollars for a game thats the same as last years incarnation, only with updated rosters and possibly a new gameplay feature here and there. How can you compete with that?

I don't know anybody like that...

Instead of "PS2 owners are in bed with madden" I think it's more like "Football fans are in bed with PS2"...
