Soccer federation splits with EA Sports over money, promises a rival game that will ‘remain the best’
Gravemaster writes: "Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire is a successful franchise, but it hasn’t had much luck when it comes to video games. Many were released, but only the one from Telltale games received more or less recognition and it was cancelled after one season anyway. Now, we have news of another Game of Thrones game in development."
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.
Danish from eXputer: "The Witcher's upcoming sequel needs to overhaul the series' combat system if it wants to make a big splash among gamers."
after what we see ( 2015 - 2024 ) in dark souls 3, blood borne , sekiro , dragon's dogma 2 , rise of the Ronin combat they should really careful and bring very good combat in Witcher 4 this time
It's a pity Konami is no longer making games. Imagine Fifa license with PES mechanics.
Those statements from FIFA wow they are delusional just slapping a brand name Ina box doesn't make it the best game but that's what they believe
“I can assure you that the only authentic, real game that has the FIFA name will be the best one available for gamers and football fans.
“The constant is the FIFA name and it will remain forever and remain the best.”
Holy shit, imagine being that full of yourself. Tell me, FIFA. Where are you going to find a dev that can make a better, more authentic football game than EA? The only other company capable of making football games is Konami, and they haven't made a good one in ages. You screwed yourself with your greed and ego.
What’s up with the obtuse coke references?
I bet FIFA wanted a cut of the gambling money from FUT mode but EA wanted to carry on with a flat fee for the license regardless of how much they made from the game.
I dont doubt that another developer could potentially make a better football game than EA, but I doubt they'd be shameless enough to have a pay to win mode like FUT. Activision maybe, if they set up a studio for it. But otherwise FIFA isnt going to get any more for their license than they were getting from EA. Wont be surprised if they become best buddies again in a year or two.
