Electronic Arts CEO Tired of the Same Old Games

Electronic Arts'new CEO, John Riccitiello, has been on the job a little more than three months .
But this is his second go-round at the video-game publisher. Riccitiello was EA's president and chief operating officer before leaving the company in 2004 to be a co-founder at venture capital firm Elevation Partners.

[Cupid-Stunt]

They should kill need for speed!!!!

Hmm this coming from the Madden co?!? Aren't they the main culprits to "The Same Old Game"?

[Antan]

Is he talking about Madden`s 92/93/94/95/96/97/98/99/00/01/ 02/03/04/05/06?

or Fifa 93/94/95/96/97/98/99/00/01/02/ 03/04/05/06?

I know, it's crazy. I played the first NFS but then the second, after that i was like...meh.

[XxZxX]

NFS II with MacLaren F1 is the best NFS i ever played.

[MoonDust]

Great game.

[MoonDust]

serious going but they need to come up with some new ones too, can't just remaking the same game even tho it looks the same.

[Bloodmask]

why do you keep making them?

[Skynetone]

but i do agree with him companys need to do more

id like to see helicopter sim / tank sim / sub sim / all in the same game and have it online

[Covenant]

Then stop making them!

Well, at least he realizes that there is a problem.

[MoonDust]

were a lot of improvements to each series every year, but it all looks the same.
I can see it now.

Why're you all bashing this guy's statement, if anything is a good sign. Read the article.. he's only been on the job for 3 months so why get pissed at him for all the rehashing ea did before he even got there. He's probably just saying as the new ceo he wants to take ea in a new direction, one where they don't rely so much on sequels and add expansions for the sims.

[Taco_Waffle]

but probably not tired of the BILLIONS OF DOLLARS the same games still bring in.
