Respawn is losing all it's OG devs. So sad, they revolutionized fps gameplay several times over. First with COD 4 Modern Warfare that really kicked off that franchise and then completely revamped what movement mechanics could look like in competitive fps with Titan Fall and then Apex. And they really revolutionized the Battle Royal genre as well in apex with the team aspect, Hero abilities, and the innovation of the ping system that every shooter cannot launch without now. They were also the first to successfully implement story and lore to the genre. Almost the entire OG team is gone now I think. I am sure there are still talented people there, but it will be hard pressed to find that kind of magical run again.

A moment of silence for rEAspawn as EA sends another talented studio to the graveyard along with.. I've lost count now.

Inverno833d ago

Nah this one's on Respawn. Since they said they were the ones that wanted to make Apex, and so their shift to focus entirely on Apex has made them abandoned TF. Im sure the direction they've decided to take has made many within disappointed so I'm sure some will leave slowly

Another EA studio circles the drain.

“EA has warmed up to the idea of single player games.”
I hope so. Jedi fighting back against the empire lol.

As the dude who made the All ghillied Up mission he will probably be an asset wherever he goes. Hopefully a smaller, hungrier team. That ghillie mission is probably still my favorite military game mission ever but I’ve never heard of him before. Best of luck to this guy.

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.

"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb198122h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.

Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition Reneges on Promised Content Behind $250 Price Tag

The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.

Christopher1d 12h ago

$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?

SimpleDad1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.

Read a comment earlier calling it a "special monetization operation." I had to chuckle at that.
