Good. If nothing else hopefully scare EA so bad they quit shoving half finished half-assed games out the door.

DJ3776d ago

This is (finally) going to set a huge precedent for the game industry. Games should, like all other products, be fully tested and nearly flawless prior to release. The issue isn't DICE. It's how some individuals in EA's management (per the article) used BF4 as a means to increase their own salaries, and even hid its problems from the public prior to release.

Heisenburger3776d ago (Edited 3776d ago )

I don't disagree. However, when you sign a deal with the devil you can't act like your hands are clean.

cabbitwithscissors3776d ago

If nothing else teaches EA a lesson, perhaps this will.

Einhert3776d ago

Money is the only language they understand

KarrBOMB3776d ago

I hope this starts turning the trend around of companies putting out unfinished games and expecting to just patch them to make them playable. Games should be playable on day one, not this huge mess that is BF4. I do know that the single player campaign on PS3 only crashed 1 time for me, I'm curious to know if any other PS3 players had fewer crashes as well. I know with the next gen systems it was a mess. Any other PS3 BF4 players have only a few issues like I did.

Tru_Blu3776d ago

I had zero issues with BF4 on the PS3. Did the $10 upgrade and 'poop' hit the fan. I haven't even thought about playing the game in the last 3 weeks if that's an indication. Really wish I had bought the disc version so I could at least get some money back for that mess they call a game.

KarrBOMB3776d ago

Thanks Tru_Blu. I was curious about the upgrade. I have the disc and haven't had a moment to play online, so I only played the campaign so far. I had 1 crash and some other weird graphical bug issues, but nothing nearly as bad as what I've been hearing. Were you playing online Tru_Blu?

Tru_Blu3776d ago

Yep online was a mess for me. If I wasn't rubberbanding or having everyone else around me rubberbanding, lagging so bad a full clip into the back of a campers head won't kill them from less then a meter away. I was crashing, in other words the game was and likely still is unplayable.

Lonnie183776d ago

I agree, teach them a lesson and also make Dead Space 4 single player only

Tru_Blu3776d ago

Wish I could give you more then 1 agree for that. Some games NEED to stay single player, cough Fallout cough.

GasTankKiller3776d ago

I feel the same way about the new Tomb Raider. Never even accessed the multiplayer menu.

TekoIie3776d ago (Edited 3776d ago )

I hope they don't make a Dead Space 4. Dead Space 3 just destroyed any dignity the series had. The best hope for Dead Space is a reboot and make it as close as possible to Dead space 2.

Get rid of that rolling crap too.

Dirtnapstor3776d ago

Dead Space 1 & 2 were supreme (less the MP). DS3 is alright, but doesn't have the hook the first two did. Hopefully EA has learned something here for all their franchises. Why change what's not broke...look at the AC series, it's flourishing still!

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot756d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250755d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface755d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop755d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno755d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel756d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps755d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888755d ago (Edited 755d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33755d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888755d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH755d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
