EA Canada Working on a "Next Gen Open World Action Game" With "Visceral, Fast and Fun" Combat

EA Canada posted an interesting recruitment ad for a lead combat designer that would work on a "third/first person" "next gen open world action game" with" visceral, fast and fun" combat and "memorable weapons, enemies and player abilities".

Not too bad of an undertaking for the developer of sports series like FIFA and NHL.

Boycotting EA, so, no, thanks.

Abriael3901d ago

Boycotting games just because of their brand is the silliest thing a gamer can do.

andrewer3901d ago

No. I do this because of the several studios they've killed, ridiculous DRM/DLC policies, ridiculous control/pressure over good studios that result in shitty games...Boycott isn't something silly, but a movement when you want better stuff from a falling company.

Abriael3901d ago

@andrewer: oooh i'm moved.

So you boycott them for the studios they've killed rite?

And who do you think it hurts? the big monolithic corporation that won't even sneeze, or the studios themselves?

Do get real, please.

adorie3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

I'm a human being first before a "gamer", Abriael.
It's silly to you, maybe, But to those who want to send a message, no matter how little; closing your wallet is the best way to do that, it works better in droves, though.

I'd rather be the only one not to support a company I believe is doing more harm than good, than to support crap-ola.

Buy less, make the most out of less. That's how I live.

I don't need to own a shit-ton of games and all consoles to validate my 'gamer' status.
That appears to be the common thinking of people on this site, who attempt to be bilateral, when in fact, it just comes off as arrogant and thoughtless.

PopRocks3593901d ago

Abriael, just stop.

There's nothing wrong with having low opinion of a company with otherwise clearly anti-consumer practices as well as actions in their history that clearly reflect poorly on them, such as closing down studios at the drop of a dime or axing off franchises after THEY screw up their launches by releasing DRM-ridden and broken, dysfunctional products.

No one needs to support ANY EA games whatsoever, and in my personal case, I choose to avoid EA whenever possible. Why? Because I don't like their practices and therefor I don't want to support them.

Battlefield, Star Wars Battlefont, Fifa

Your missing out on same actual legit good IP's by boycotting EA.

I don't like everything EA does though, some of their games are complete trash.

andrewer3901d ago

It's for a good and greater cause, you have to sacrifice somethings to get better stuff.

MrTrololo3901d ago

Gamer like you is the reason why gaming industry is falling apart. You so whiny that you want some gaming company to die when they bring something unique

andrewer3900d ago (Edited 3900d ago )

Ridiculous. I want to EA to get better, just like the good'ol days. And I'm doing something to that happen, not just acting like people like you that have no desire for better games/services, and simply play, without caring, narrow minded, something I actually don't understand.
PS: Open World, unique?

DragonKnight3901d ago

So do I. That series has too much potential to be doomed to the obscurity it's in right now.

Maddens Raiders3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

Too bad it's EA. My excitement is on hold, indefinitely.

True_Samurai3901d ago

There's being a heavy push of online games next gen

gedden73901d ago

Yeah IDC about this one.. EA is involved.. 'm sure they will manage to throw a jab at Nintendo's Wii U and costumers who don't like games always online...

FIFA 14 and FIFA 15 comparison shots

GamesBeat took the latest batch of FIFA 15 screenshots and compared them with pictures of the same players doing the same things in FIFA 14.

The funniest thing is if you go back to the FIFA 13 to FIFA 14 comparisons, FIFA 14 looked EXACTLY like FIFA 15 does now.

Just typical bullshots, nothing new to see here!

itisallaboutps3584d ago

They just screw with the lighting a little. Change the pace of game and make controls conpletely different so the common consumer thinks its a new game

redknight803584d ago

Pretty much :( and unfortunately I am one of the suckers that buys the game each damn year. Although in my defense, I always wait like 3 or 4 months after the new version releases and get it used off of ebay or something. I recently sold my Fifa 14 copy for the exact same price I bought it for, so I am happy with it....but jeez I hope this second attempt at "Next Gen" is truly "Next Gen"

deantak3584d ago

performance capture is the new motion capture. not long before the players look really human.

TheShrew3584d ago

I have a feeling FIFA 15 will just be a slightly brighter FIFA 14. If some perfect, probably-altered FIFA 15 shots only look SLIGHTLY better than real FIFA 14 shots, we may be in trouble.

Wow, that does sound complicated.

Zuperman3599d ago

I wish THQ kept making UFC games. EA RUINS Franchises

GamerEuphoria3599d ago

THQ's third UFC games was brilliant, not just a brilliant sports game but a brilliant game.

stavrami-mk23599d ago

I thought all thq's ufc games were good for there time of release. This ea one ain't bad got some good points but they do make every single sports game arcade style which does piss me off

ColManischewitz3599d ago

Do you get foreign objects in UFC?

thinktwice3599d ago

Not even 1080p first of all and second this game is clearly overhyped the graphics and even as good as what they make it sound to be but yeah it is the best UFC game so far pretty much but honestly more work needs to be done the submission system sucks send me the animations Game in general needs work!!!!!

johny53599d ago

Didn't they say they would patch it to 1080p on the PS4, or was that a lie?

Hroach6163599d ago

First let me say, for the most part, I am enjoying this game. It's a little more technical then it even first seems. And that's saying something because it seems pretty technical. But it is fun for the most part.

But I gotta say EA's previous game "MMA" was better in most departments. You could choose how you train more. The training was actually helpful. Here it just chooses random things to practice in between actual matches. I've done the same practice rounds pretty much every time.
You could choose from several apponents for your next match. The striking felt way better. It actually felt like contact was being made and adjusted for hard hits or just simple grazes.
Everything seemed better in MMA.

I'm still having fun playing it, but I have encountered several serous glitches. I don't know how EA had such a drop in gameplay quality from MMA to EA's UFC...

Maybe it's just me.
