Electronic Arts announced last year that it had secured the rights to make games based on Fox Television's long-running animated show The Simpsons. When reading a new job description from EA it becomes obvious that the game is now in development. It's not known yet when the title is due to be realeased and what platforms it will be on. But knowing EA's market strategy, it is more than likely that it will be released on multiple platforms.
K-Pop Academy is an upcoming pop star management simulator from the game studio that brought you Tsuki’s Odyssey and Campfire Cat Café.
The new unit comprises over 500 developers representing the entire World of Warcraft development team.
I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.
Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.
No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo
I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.
Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
Modders have cooked up something pretty special – a Wii console which is small enough to fit on your keys. A wee Wii.
Maybe they are working on The Simpsons Movie video game. Has there ever been a really good Simpsons game?
simpsons movie game anyone?
i hope they makes it next-gen and totally accurate to the series in animation. that would be awesome!
As the only person on Earth who can't stand the series this does nothing for me :\
MMMMMMmmmmmmmm BEEEEEEER.
For 1, I feel EA rushes games, a lot. They are way too big, smaller studios such as BioWare and Silicon Knights churn out much better titles. 2, I feel that the graphics in the cartoons are made to be too 3d. They should make the characters 3d, but the renderer should make it look more like the actual cartoon, with the black lines to accent features. In my opinion, if they made the graphics look more like the cartoons, the games would be more enjoyable and believable.
