From the increase of nudity on screen to the dumbing down of the general population and the amount of useless products still being bought throughout the different trailer parks worldwide. (Trailer park is of course just a way to portrait a certain mindset of a certain set of people...) But i felt that EA hit rock bottom with their latest ad for Dead Space 2. And when I say rock bottom I mean through the rock, into the ground, 60 feet below the dirt and into the core of the entire earth itself… Let me explain.''
EA has shut down rumors that EA Motive considered a Dead Space 2 remake before shelving it due to low sales of the previous game, saying there's "no validity" to the reports.
Why not remake DS2 whether shot down or not it's still my favorite game next to DS1. As much as I hate EA I would buy or would have bought DS2 day one.
No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"
I don't know if sales met their expectations or not. I just know that the high review scores received my attention so I was interested in buying it, but its price stayed high (50+ bucks) for so long that I simply never bothered picking it up.
Nameer from eXputer: "Dead Space 2 is a sequel that delivers such a feast that by the time you're done, you're not only full but also satisfied."
Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection
thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.
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.
SSX Tricky / SSX 3

Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5
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!"
So we are talking about a game giving it more press... thats exactly what ads like this are designed to do.
Author took the bait hook, line and sinker
Where was this writer when I was watching all those R-rated movies as a kid? Seriously. RoboCop!? I shouldn't have seen half the things in that movie. Eh, I turned out OK.
Dead Space 2's ad campaign IS ridiculous. Feel sorry for the kids whose parents saw these ads and banned them from ever playing it lol.
"I don't care if you're 17 I don't want that crap being played under my roof!!!"
Besides, lets not kid ourselves into thinking that only those 17 and older play mature rated games. I was watching horror movies and playing Metal Gear Solid when I was 14.
Oh boo-hoo. I was never more interested in playing Resident Evil than when I was 12. Sure, the BOX says the game is for gamers 17 and up, but that's an arbitrary rating given by some board. Playing RE when I was so young hasn't affected my development in any way.
But I'm not surprised at an article like this coming from someone who believes in the "dumbing down of the general population". News flash: the general population has ALWAYS been dumb. In fact, they've never been so smart. It's only with universal schooling that we're becoming aware of how dumb the general population is, and also because, throughout our history, it was BENEFICIAL to the ruling classes to keep the masses dumb.
