The first feedback I've seen on Shellshock 2. Seems like a mixed bag, but is a side show compared with TR. Still, any income from this title will be a bonus IMO and it may pick up some additional sales in the bumper Xmas period (or get lost in the deluge!).

get rogers out!!!! he's no good for SEG!!!!!!!! NO CONFIDENCE IN THE MAN

[darrens] 11/11/2008 17:52

fft, it is a bit deja vu isn't it.

To be fair, all VG companies fair according to how well their premier franchises do (Activision shareholders will be sweating over COD5 sales over the coming weeks and worrying that the review embargo is only lifted after the game has gone on sale) but with SCi/Eidos it always seems to be about life and death.

Go Lara ;)

[fft] 11/11/2008 17:39

dope,

the IMS was well worthwhile. Only one game / event was mentioned. It tells us that Sci will use *all* there resources to produce / distribute / market /sell TRU. If TRU is succesful, then Sci continues. If it is not succesful, then its game over.

This reminds me of the old Carmageddon, Italian Job, CDS days. But Sci was supposed to have moved on from the surviving one game at a time days. Deja Vu. Will the luck come to an end ?

[the crypt] 11/11/2008 17:34

seg - what the heck has Rogers done ????????????????????? since his appointment the share price has gone from bad to worse. The guy is a loser!!!!!

[darrens] 11/11/2008 12:46

Yeah, all the really good opportunities just keep getting better ;)

[dope007] 11/11/2008 12:39

True but there are so many better oppertunities almost everywhere at the moment and they are still going down!!

[darrens] 11/11/2008 12:37

Yeah, totally useless but apparently following "UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules".

On TRU the reviews are starting to come in. Mainly in the 80%-90% range but with a few outliers. Aussie OPM incredibly only gave it 5/10 and called it the nail in the coffin of TR! It's certainly a way to make some headlines but, given all the other reviews, sounds like they're way off beam.

I have a better feeling about this in Europe but remain worried about the US.

The main problem SCi has (as a share) is there are just much better opportunities in the same sector. But with it being the only listed UK VG publisher it should still get a nice rise if TRU does the business.

[dope007] 11/11/2008 12:05

Well that was a pretty pointless RNS. They may aswell said the view from the office is fine, although the flowers on the window cill look in need of some water. The wallpaper is looking old hat and the carpet needs a good vacuuming.

Sci of old would have given you some preorder numbers guidence.

[the crypt] 11/11/2008 12:02

are you lot mute.........................???????????????

[the crypt] 11/11/2008 08:04

david gord bennettttttttttttt

[davidbennett] 11/11/2008 08:00

Looks good to me. Plenty of cash and confident about TRU.

Also, it's good that is TRU will definitely be launched before Xmas.

IMO 30p+ by end of Nov.

SCi Entertainment plc ('SCi' or 'The Company')




Interim Management Statement




SCi Entertainment Group plc, the holding Company of Eidos Interactive Limited, creator of some of the world's leading videogame properties including Tomb Raider, Hitman, Deus Ex, Championship Manager and Kane & Lynch, is publishing its Interim Management Statement for the period from 1 July 2008 to 11 November 2008, in accordance with the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.




The financial year has commenced in line with our expectations. As planned, no major products were launched in this period with the majority of revenues derived from the continued sell through of back catalogue titles and distribution of third party products.




Tomb Raider: Underworld™ will be released to plan on 18 November in North America and 21 November in Europe on the major platforms of Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and PC Games for Windows. A PlayStation 2 version is also due for release in the New Year. The much anticipated eighth instalment in the Lara Croft franchise is the first to be led by development on current generation technology and is the first Christmas release since the year 2000. Despite the challenging economic environment we believe the game will perform to our expectations and we are pleased with the initial feedback. As we move through the launch of Tomb Raider: Underworld our level of working capital will increase, covered by our £25m committed debt facility, before decreasing as we receive income from the game.




During this reported period Robert Brent joined the Company as Chief Financial Officer. Two Non-Executive Directors, Aaron Brown and Kevin Tsujihara, stood down from the Board.




We shall be updating the market on trading in January when we will have information on the performance of Tomb Raider: Underworld. The Company's Annual General Meeting will be held at 12 noon on 2 December at the offices of KBC Peel Hunt Ltd, Old Broad Street, London EC2N 1PH.
