SCi/Eidos Shares Plummet News

Over 55% drop in share price follows yesterday's announcement that a takeover deal is no longer on the table...

SCi Entertainment, the parent company of Eidos, has today suffered a major drop in share price following last night's news that the board had decided not to continue searching for a potential takeover deal.

Shares in the company plummeted when the London Stock Exchange opened for business this morning by 134.5p a share to 57.5p a share at 8:30am GMT, a drop of around 57%. Since then, the share price has only slightly recovered and is currently standing at around 65.5p - just 12.5% of the market value just 12 months ago, when shares stood at around 524p each.

The publisher also confirmed that it had pushed back the expected release date of Tomb Raider: Underworld to Christmas 2008, which has left the board forecasting an operating loss at the end of the current fiscal year.

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.

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.

	By: Anonymous Added:Mon 04th Aug 2008 09:49, Post No: 30 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!
