I recently decided to go back and play Battlefield: Bad Company on my Playstation 3. Bad Company was my first introduction to the Battlefield series back in 2009. Find out if this game still holds up today compared to the current crowded shooter genre.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson writes: "In this time of change, we expect these decisions to impact approximately 5 percent of our workforce. I understand this will create uncertainty and be challenging for many who have worked with such dedication and passion and have made important contributions to our company. While not every team will be impacted, this is the hardest part of these changes, and we have deeply considered every option to try and limit impacts to our teams. Our primary goal is to provide team members with opportunities to find new roles and paths to transition onto other projects. Where that’s not possible, we will support and work with each colleague with the utmost attention, care, and respect. Communicating these impacts has already begun and will be largely completed by early next quarter."
All the big ones doing the same stuff. Terrible. I just hope that all these people are able to get a new job as soon as possible, God know that it is horrible to be left jobless when you have your kids or your parents depending on your financial help
The point I feel is problematic about all of this is that focusing on Owned Ip means more sequels, remasters and more of what was selling last year.
Please subscribe to the blog. In a month or two I'll be launching my own gaming/Tv/film website and I appreciate any feedback and help. You'll be doing a huge favor to a broke college student.
They past Bad Company games were a lot better. I play BFBC2 more than i play BF3.
I bought the first Bad Company on release day and its SP is still miles ahead, both in terms of map scale and overall epicness, compared to the later SP in BFBC2 and BF3.After months of lag issues troubling the PS3 MP the BFBC became a solid MP experience. The first BFBC MP DID in fact have boats and also helicopters,sadly jets were not implement.The SP HAD numerous vehicles to use in the huge levels, while the SP campaigns in BFBC2 and BF3 had barely anything no show for as being a part of the Battlefield franchise.Hardly any vehicles, small levels with badly hidden invisible level design borders. I felt like a rat in a mace playing SP in BFBC2, utter crap. The SP in BF3 was just like playing another CoD game, but this time it wasn't half as fun and didn't have a good story either.
