VideoGamer: "Star Wars Battlefront has its share of problems, but it nails the appeal of the franchise in ways beyond replicating classic audio and visual cues."
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'm discouraged to see so many negative comments on this site about the beta. I guess that's just the nature of the Internet . I, for one, am enjoying the heck out of this beta.
I just wish it was more like Battlefront 2, I want to be an ewok dang it..
The looks of the game are just right.
I am really enjoying the beta. This is coming from a guy who has no prior history with Star Wars. I think I watched 3 which was like a prequel or something but that's all. I love how it feels like Star Wars, but at the same time you don't have to be a fan to enjoy. Of course those who are, are treated with a great Star Wars "feel". Graphics, gameplay, and match making is great. I enjoy the power up mechanics, reminds me of Warhawks and gears. It makes things balanced and fun throughout the match.
There's so much happening in the background you really have that battlefield feel with a star wars paint over it. That's not necessarily a bad thing. There are those who are complaining because it's not like battlefront 2. I can't relate to any of that because I never played the battlefront games and just giving my impressions based on what this game is trying to be. It's definitely a tribute to those fans of the series but also fun and enjoyable enough for new comers
As a longtime fan of Star Wars, I can say they certainly nailed it all around. The only thing I wish they had was the space battles. But this will probably be added later. Excellent job overall in my opinion.
