PS3Trophies have provided information of new trophies found for the latest Need for Speed installment. 3 new packs are on their way containing new mods, cars, tracks and more. This post also contains an opinion peace towards the end.
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.

Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5
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.
bit harsh to call criterion scum! have you not worked out that all game developers such as activision and EA release games such as COD with some good maps/content and some poor stuff in the basic game! they then advertise some really great maps for DLC so to make you want to buy them!! it's to ensure they get extra money out of you! each game by the end of it's cycle will have cost a consumer around $100! basic cost $60 then another $40-$50 on top!
They then announce a new game a few months later which you will then go and spend another $100 on! as with COD, for the last 4 games you have paid $400 for the same game just with a different label?
I'm a Nintendo fan and Criterion have left us out in the cold for 10 years but i can say they are not scum just very talented developers and i'm happy to see them bk.
Here's hoping to a long relationship i love their work'
It's a great game. Just a shame this DLC won't find it's way to the Vita, if the previous DLC is anything to go by...
