With the E3 trailer and gameplay demo appearing to suggest that Dead Space 3 has embraced cover-based action and co-op mayhem in place of genuine horror, Mark Butler argues that fans are right to voice their concern.
EA has hired ex-military personnel in order to help shape the next Battlefield game as part of the Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) program.
Why don't you Hire Your Old Dev Team who brought us the brilliance of Battlefield Bad Company 2 while you're at it. It was more exciting than anything recent in the Battlefield series. It just needs to be updated to reach modern times, but it was so great at its core.
This would be nice but that team has tossed out the finals and has arc raiders on the back burner

20 thousand still play the final's

Why get slapped around by ea when you already have something going on.
What the next battlefield needs is a step back simple functional not a live service and smaller player servers than 2042. Just make it like battlefiled 3 with bad company destruction just something simple
But they already killed off ridgeline games that had ex halo/cod devs so no singleplayer unless they make another dev team for it.

It's what made zipper and slant six awesome. They had military vets working for them, no just as consultants, but as developers as well. I wish Sony never closed them, MAG 2 or an update to MAG and a new socom is much needed.
Older ps3 battlefield titles did the same even went to the range to get sound files.
But all these titles we are talking about were on the ps3 a console so powerful it offered free mp and games did not need 4 levels of payment plans even more crazy was the player size of mag's games.
Sadly I think you are correct. They just don’t get it. They will do their live service game with its Battle Royale and fail at both.I hate being so negative, but I have little faith in EA at this point.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.
Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.
Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.
Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.
I think that if anything they missed a real opportunity in not getting Chris Tucker in to voice the side kick.
I had such high hope for this series after playing the first and second game i was absolutely gripped apart from the multiplayer. This is just as the headline says gears of war and dead space hacked together.
Such a shame for the series.
Dead Space 1 is one of my favourite games this gen and my No 1 new IP this gen.
For me everything started going downhill the moment they gave Issic a generic voice and threw in MP....
Now looking at DS3, disappointed is not even the word anymore. It really does look like they have missed it.
such a shame..
I thought the franchise was ok, not bad, it was good, not amazing though.
easy survival horror takes away from the survival and horror.
and since gamers this gen are abysmal at games they need to be catered too.
i mean i thought it was enough the the first 2 games were easy on hard and that there were only 4 enemy types so you didn't have to worry about how to fight the enemies.
also i thought it was easy enough since they put the Quest guide for you so you couldn't get lost, aswell as making the first gun the best gun in the game and plentiful ammo.
but oh well, since gamers need to be catered too they will make it easier and easier.
aslong as its still fun im ok with it, i just hope they let me start on Very Hard this time
Agreed. I know its early to tell but from what I've seen so far, another of my favorite series has been ruined. I had such high hopes for the 3rd. Visions of walking on a desolite, frozen planet in a deserted base where you are thought to be the only one there to see if maybe a survivor or two are still out there have been shattered. Now it looks to be just another run and gun with ducking in and out of cover game. Hello Resident evil, I'm looking at you too!!!!!
