With the E3 trailer and gameplay demo appearing to suggest that Dead Space 3 has embraced cover-based action and co-op mayhem in place of genuine horror, Mark Butler argues that fans are right to voice their concern.
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 think that if anything they missed a real opportunity in not getting Chris Tucker in to voice the side kick.
I had such high hope for this series after playing the first and second game i was absolutely gripped apart from the multiplayer. This is just as the headline says gears of war and dead space hacked together.
Such a shame for the series.
Dead Space 1 is one of my favourite games this gen and my No 1 new IP this gen.
For me everything started going downhill the moment they gave Issic a generic voice and threw in MP....
Now looking at DS3, disappointed is not even the word anymore. It really does look like they have missed it.
such a shame..
I thought the franchise was ok, not bad, it was good, not amazing though.
easy survival horror takes away from the survival and horror.
and since gamers this gen are abysmal at games they need to be catered too.
i mean i thought it was enough the the first 2 games were easy on hard and that there were only 4 enemy types so you didn't have to worry about how to fight the enemies.
also i thought it was easy enough since they put the Quest guide for you so you couldn't get lost, aswell as making the first gun the best gun in the game and plentiful ammo.
but oh well, since gamers need to be catered too they will make it easier and easier.
aslong as its still fun im ok with it, i just hope they let me start on Very Hard this time
Agreed. I know its early to tell but from what I've seen so far, another of my favorite series has been ruined. I had such high hopes for the 3rd. Visions of walking on a desolite, frozen planet in a deserted base where you are thought to be the only one there to see if maybe a survivor or two are still out there have been shattered. Now it looks to be just another run and gun with ducking in and out of cover game. Hello Resident evil, I'm looking at you too!!!!!
