[Official News] Eidos brings Championship Manager 5 to the public on 1-2-2004:

[Tom]

i succesfully bribed the FA cup final

TROD.

 

[Ebonix]

I won everything by bribes. I also bribed Middlesbrough to sell me Ravanelli & Juninho

 

[JTNY]

I am not sure. I am almost positive EIDOS' backed game will be ****e. I hope SI's new game will be good. If not I will continue on CM03/04 with updates/

 

[Tom]

eidos' wont be that bad, but it will be released after SI's i think

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

I think they both plan to release somewhere around october(-ish).

 

[Tom]

na SI's will be september ish

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

Yes, but we all know SI's release dates

 

[Áļéאָ]

bribe option would be cool

 

[Tom]

Si's will be before Eidos', mark my words

TROD.

 

[JTNY]

Isn't it Eidos who were pushing SI to release CM4 early, hence all the bugs? Wouldn't Eidos be first then?

 

[rpvankasteren]

No, because SI's game is already close to being finished. They'll only need to get the data straight, by that time, that's all.

Another thing. Apparently Eidos also have the right to the current look of CM, so the interface will also have to change.

 

[Tom]

i thought so, but believe me, Eidos will change it anyway i think. lol

TROD.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

A question: who will get the licences?

 

[rpvankasteren]

SI never had any licenses, that's the cool part

They might get some, depending on the publisher they sign with

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Ah, damn, I want a game with real names from SI

 

[rpvankasteren]

That's what I'm saying. They use the real names without licenses. They somehow got that working for them, I don't know how either

 

[PSVFOREVER]

ah, in that way. The I hope they get some good connections with Konami. Then we'll maybe see a PES with real names too

 

[monkeyhappy]

has anyone noticed? one of the games is gonna get the championship manager title and the outher isnt
we'll need two forums !

i think theyll both have to be good...
but i reckon eidos will rush it just to get it out first so people wont wait for the other game...

 

[Tom]

yeah we've discussed this before aiden, you would know except you rarelly post here.

btw, its the 1st feb and championshipmanager.co.uk is still SI not Eidos. lol

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

Yeah, I think they forgot about today being sunday... Maybe it changes tomorrow
