[quote comment="21297"]So there is no option for Take Two to simply decline the deal? Seriously, what if they have ambitions to become a huge property on their own…[/quote]

Its a publically owned company, ultimately it comes down to the stockholders.

EA will make a grand theft game every year if this happens.

I may be alone in this thinking, but I would NOT want EA to adopt the 2K engine for football games if this merger/buy-out were to actually happen.

I would much rather see EA adopt the best aspects of the 2K engine (Ol-DL interaction, QB drops and throwing mechanics, presentation and sidelines, etc.) into a hybrid of their existing engine. Either that or adopt the Euphoria engine and start over…

As for GTA franchise in EA’s hands….so what? Unless EA started developing the series instead of serving as publisher it would not make much difference at all….did EA publishing “Crysis” make that any less of a game as a result? Sometime people take the chic “I HATE ALL THINGS EA” vibe a bit too far…

PASTTA, 2k is also competetive in hockey, and thier tennis game ‘top spin’ imo is the best representation of the sport available and a very good game.

2k football is actually worth playing an entire game too, instead of wanting to ‘super-sim’ most of it.

other notables are ‘the bigs’ which was a great suprise last year.

EA’s CEO has even stated publically how talented he thinks visual concepts is. VC is a better developer for sports than any team currently working for EA.
