Dealspwn's Jonathan Lester has a truly torrid time with the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' Kinect challenge mode.
Lester writes: "One of the oddest moments of EA’s Press Conference was the unveiling of Harry Potter’s Kinect functionality. The Weasley twins stepped up on stage to cast some hands-free spells in the new challenge mode… and if it’s good enough for them, it had to be worth trying out for myself. Plus, my time with Sorcery’s tech demo had raised the bar fairly high and I was looking forward to comparing how the two motion control peripherals handle wand-based combat.
As it turns out, there’s a clear winner."
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?
"It doesn’t work."
LOL
kinect controllerless functions remind me why i love my controller
"Why isn't it working? Why can't I get it to cast spells?"
"Because you're a muggle and nobody loves yo- I mean we are currently in the beta stages for this feature"
