A day late, but not a dollar short…maybe. This episode of Controller Freaks features the triumphant return of James and Kevin who join us to talk about stuff that isn't confusing…because the LAST thing we want to do is confuse you. This week, we discuss:
Kmart, Injustice: Gods Among Us (and James’ hacker “skills”), Sam’s (overdue) breakdown, fighting games in general
Batman Arkham Origins, fast travel in games, Man of Steel, Nicolas Cage vs. Vin Diesel, Elysium and other relatively new sci-fi movies, “Hey, that’s Tom Cruise," Worst Company of the Year winner EA, yet another entitlement discussion,and the potential of an “Always Online” future
Next week features the exciting return of Alessio and Jordan. That’s right guys. It’s the OG cast for a very special episode of Controller Freaks. Will we tell you why it’s special? Maybe. Who knows? Not me. I literally have no idea if we will or not. EXCITING!
We do also have a small behind the scenes bonus clip at the end o...
Today EA hosted its Investors Day, and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wilson talked about the company's dedication to generative AI.
He's so excited to layoff more employees for FAKE STUPIDITY computer programing to replace them.
Hopefully EA takes a nosedive just like Ubisoft is currently doing. Lack of money is the only thing that can hurt them and possibly change them.
Of course it is. EA has been lazy for years. Profiting for investors and themselves without putting in the work. Having AI write code or build graphics for them just makes them even more lazy.
I'd laugh if those same investors built "executive code" and got rid of EA's CEO and board of directors and replaced them with AI.
Today Electronic Arts hosted its Investors Day and its executives shared what's next for the Battlefield franchise.
ohh god, here we go!
This is exactly why the gaming industry is failing. It's now an industry of suits "trying to find the fun".
...I'll help you out a little, If you're trying to find it, then it's not fun and neither are you. move on!
Honestly, get them to sit down and play Bad Company 2 together.
If they can't see why that had the magic, they shouldn't be game developers.
The CEO of EA has iterated his massive ambitions about the next Battlefield entry in the new Q1 2025 financial results.
It ain't Bad Company 3 ... so stop false-promising ... but make it current-gen only plz ... it'll be 2025 ffs
More intentionally released broken games with micro-trash-actions, and of course fake apologies written by ChatGPT instead of doing it yourself because you don't give a crap if you sell people garbage for their hard earned money.
Ass.
Isn't that the whole point of having a "series" of games? Isn't the follow-up supposed to be inherently better or "more ambitious" than the previous entries? Unfortunately, this has not been the case for Battlefield in quite some time. I've still never even redeemed the free BF 2042 code I got a year and a half ago lol. Such a shame, used to be one of my favorite shooters back in the day.
This is the best podcast no one is listening to!
