The SCi board takes the proposal off the table; Tomb Raider Underworld pushed to Christmas...

It's been well publicised in recent months that Eidos' parent company SCi Games has been looking for a takeover deal, but the company has today announced that it doesn't believe the full value will be reached - and that as a result, any potential deal is off.

Several potential interested parties had been unveiled, including Warner Bros. and Ubisoft, but the fact that SCi hadn't "received a formal offer within the timeframe requested" also contributed to this evening's news.

In addition to this, the publisher has also confirmed that Tomb Raider Underworld has been pushed back from a summer release to one in the run up to Christmas 2008. The move allows for three additional platforms (PlayStation 2, Wii, Nintendo DS) to be added to the line up already known. The upcoming title will now launch on six formats, including Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

The delay to Lara's newest adventure has also led to the board revealing it expects to make an operating loss at the end of the 2008 fiscal year, despite the upcoming launch of Conflict: Denied Ops.

Hopefully, now they've put that particular storyline to bed, Crystal Dynamics can concentrate on evolving the franchise again.

yeah, its the difficult economy thats to blame, not the god awful game play, rubbish plot and repetition of a franchise.  The words horse, dead and flogging, spring to mind.

Odd review. Anyway I've been playing Underworld for the entire weekend and it's definitely worth your money. I bought this, Left 4 Dead and Dead Space this Friday but have only played the latter 2 for about an hour combined. All my time is being spent with the lovely Lara Croft. It's how exploration really should feel.

$th August Anon - Core are no more. After the Angel of Darkness fiasco they released one forgetable game as a new studio for Capcom that sunk without a trace. They ten got into DVD games, but that didn't last long. The only thing left of them was acquired by fellow UK studio Rebellion quite a long time ago. Toby Gard is the only link between old Lara and new Lara.

Why can't Tomb Raider have both Core and Crystal Dynamics making games? I mean Ratchet and Clank have got 2 different developers making games: Insomniac Games(PS2 and PS3) and High Impact Games(PSP)! CORE could continue the AoD Triology and Crystal Dynamics doing Legend Triology! Doesn't anyone else agree with me? PLEASE REPLY!
