There is much speculation as to when the rest of the globe will get their hands on the black beauty that is the Ps Vita. As the Japan release date is pegged between the 16th and 17th of December there are numerous news sites slating that the US release will be around the 31st December 2011.
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.
I will have mine thanks to importing ... ha ha ha
".It just seems like a really unsuitable date to release one of the hottest handhelds around, when folk have just spent a boat load of money on Christmas and the New year"
Great for retailers though. New years and early January is actually when most of the Christmas shopping is done because of the discounts. This is why a lot of retailers tend to open discount shopping at midnight on Christmas Eve.
"Come on guys, think about it really hard, those retailing giants want those pre orders in for a number of reasons, they want to take that cash of your hands during the festive season".
That is true but these retailers tell you the date will change and also do not take this cash off you till it is released not when you preorder.
To be honest a post Christmas launch is quite smart if it does happen. Early January is a great time. These days Christmas has taken a back seat to the discount shopping post Christmas.
I'm hoping January but expecting it to be March. I'm patient enough to wait for it. Hoping there will be good launch deals.
I'll get one as soon as I find out if my cellphone provider will pick up the 3G PSV if not ill go with the other version of the PSV . Shame the thing does not come out on Xmas or before Xmas that would help the PSV make a step for the holiday season which usually means big sales for new electronic devises.
