I bet most of you will have had the pleasure of playing the new Battlefield 3 or, if failing that, will have at least seem some videos of the destructible terrain that the franchise utilizes in it's gameplay, so you'll know just how enjoyable it is to blow through a building with a tank and or bring a building down to eliminate that pesky sniper that's been picking you off for most of the game. But I have seriously got to ask, what has happened to destructible environments in games?
EA just hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and its executives have been asked to comment about the recent price hikes for games.
Today, Electronic Arts announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2025, alongside the full year.
Split Fiction has sold nearly 4 million copies, and the next battlefield is confirmed for a release by March 2026 with a reveal this Summer.
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.
Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....
This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
I think fully destructible terrain makes game design very complicated, hence why we don't see it all that often.
For example, how do you make sure a player will never get stuck indefinitely in a hole? Or how do you balance gameplay knowing that the whole level can be turned into a flat wasteland?
Hey guys lets make RedFaction 3 without destructable terrain, make it 3rd person and make it open world and let's get rid of the rail gun......
Pancakegaki says, almost every shooter contains it.
However, its not an overly used thing like Red faction does it.
I love destructible terrain in video games :)
