Hitman was average as fukk, they spent that much on that

Video games are like any business, you gotta do numbers to stay in the game. Honestly buying Eidos was a mistake. The Hitman franchise has been since 06.

WTF were their sales projections though?

Tomb Raider hasn't even been out a full month yet and they're already writing it off, yet it sold in that time what Hitman did since november.

Should have been out years ago

People wanted Kingdom Hearts 3. Gave them portable spinoffs.
FFXIII was a disappointment and keeps making sequels NOBODY asked for.
FF Type-0 Ain't being localized.
FF Versus XIII in development hell.
FFXIV was a massive fukkup.
Teases people with FFVII tech demo.
Stupid moblie games.
Puts most interesting games on portables.

Good riddance.

We might finally start getting some of those long awaited games.

A legit FF:CC sequel

FFXIV was a massive fukkup.

Wait there was a FFXIV already?

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

It was a MMO though.

This company is the most frustrating in video game history. They are sitting on 3 or 4 ip's that would be a gold mine if they make the games. Yet they wanna keep releasing games that nobody wants. Hell they don't even have to spend much on development. A simple hd upgrade to final fantasy 7 or kingdoms hearts would make more money than hitman.
