Adding multiplayer to a chart-proven solo game makes good commercial sense, granted, but Dead Space’s lumbering pace and penchant for close confines aren’t qualities one tends to associate with the upper crust of Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. Killzone 2 was picked on for its slightly stodgy controls, remember, and Dead Space makes Killzone 2 feel like WipEout HD.
Less surprising is the revelation that the sequel’s online offerings bear a strong resemblance to Left 4 Dead. There aren’t that many acts to follow in the multiplayer-oriented survival horror genre, after all (indie connoisseurs: feel free to weigh in with your Recommended lists), and of those acts, Valve’s Romero-flavoured take on Gauntlet is the one that turns heads."
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.
Yes. IMHO, Dead Space multiplayer beta was more fun than l4d the full retail game. Again, its just my opinion.
Which setting do you prefer? It's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison, but I think the Left 4 Dead maps can feel a little generic, whereas Dead Space has always been a game I've relished exploring.
