Firstly, thank you all for giving me the biggest laugh I've ever had at 6 o'clock in the morning. Why? Your definition of IP... IP, in this context, stands for Intellectual Property. It's just a clever way of saying who owns an idea. Tomb Raider is Eidos & Crystal's intellectual property, while Final Fantasy is SquEnix's. Internet Protocol? LOL. Bless each and every one of you 
 And The Sims isn't an RPG Tess - it's a simulation. There's a bit of a clue in the name  Now, moving on to the matter of Crystal Tools and Crystal Tech. I think you've somewhat grabbed the wrong end of the stick in wondering whether RPG elements might invade TR and vice versa. Both are merely graphics engines, they have nothing to do with gameplay elements. They're essentially "machines" that generate the visuals you see on-screen and nothing more. A consolidation of technology from SquEnix and Crystal could be a good thing, a damn good thing in fact. SquEnix is world renowned for absolutely top-notch visuals (although don't confuse the FMV sequences in their games as being their creation because they're not), and Crystal's efforts with Underworld certainly can't be sniffed at. TR9 could potentially look mind-blowing if Crystal are given access to SquEnix's graphics libraries. |
