hmm, I highly doubt that, but then again, stranger things have happen before.

MisterNiwa4888d ago

Hm, if you can teabag someone mid-air and make a combo out of it it would be first of all, pretty disturbing and then secondly be something that never happened before.

Worth talking about.

TheBossMan4888d ago

Hey, if COD can have 3 moments that stick with you for years, this game can at least muster one.

(Dispute it all you want, but the nuke, sniping mission, and slow-motion bridge finale are probably still clear pictures in your minds)

SuperStrokey11234888d ago

The only thing in COD that even remotely stays with me is the nuke and the part qwhere the guy gets shot in the head at the start of cod4. Medal of honor had more things for me.

Ducky4888d ago (Edited 4888d ago )

Yea, but you don't really talk much about the nuke, for years.

"It went boom"
"I know, right?"

The pripyat mission kinda qualifies. It was a bit too scripted though. Shooting that dog made it memorable.

Though, I'm thinking a surprise like what Kojima did with MGS2 by pulling Raiden out from the blue. I can still have discussions with people about being bummed when that happened. =/

LarVanian4888d ago

I actually forgot about the nuke scene in COD4 until it was brought up here.

Focker4204888d ago

Slow-motion bridge?? I must not remember. I'd say No Russian is the most memorable moment in a CoD. The sniping mission is a close second.

Baka-akaB4888d ago (Edited 4888d ago )

actually yeah i'd dispute it all i want ...
Forgotten those like others till it was brought up .

It's not as if it's half life 1 or 2 you know ...

DasBunker4888d ago

WTF is a COD? Cash On Delivery?

wsoutlaw874888d ago

actually i only really remember the end of cod4 and the air plain mission that followed it.

Does it have something to do with that gigantic creature at the end of the Cliffy B's commentary demo?

-End of Line

soundslike4888d ago

The giant creature IS Cliffy B

You kill him like the Mech-suit Hitler in Wolfenstein 3D

...auf Wiedersehen

Keith Olbermann4888d ago

The games called Bulletstorm......will the surprise most likely involve shooting something....special??

xer04888d ago

Hmmmm - I smell bullshit.

Sure enough there will be a gimmick but i doubt it'll be more popular than Gears.

Convas4888d ago

Interesting, but I'll be the judge of that, Thank you very much.

Ducky4888d ago

Best way to ruin a surprise: Tell everyone there is a surprise.

Pandamobile4888d ago

They didn't ruin the surprise. All they did was say that there was a surprise.

AssassinHD4888d ago (Edited 4888d ago )

But now people will be looking for a surprise. If you expect a surprise you run the risk of discovering the surprise prematurely. You start to think that situations might turn out in a way other than what you would usually expect.

Downtown boogey4888d ago

Best way to ruin a surprise: Tell everyone ABOUT the surprise.

I.E: Kids know they're getting gifts at Christmas but it's still a surprise to get some of the stuff.

Ducky4888d ago (Edited 4888d ago )

... But it's a bigger surprise when you just wake up and there's that one unicorn you always wanted right next to the bed.

You tell someone they'll get a gift, and their mind wanders. Eventually, they'll think of all these things they would like... and then more often than not, the actual gift is just a sweater. =/

Surprises are like a Fightclub. You just shouldn't talk about them.

blizzard_cool4888d ago

Are the creators of the universe ottsels?

LarVanian4888d ago

Were we actually born in the future but then taken back to the past so we could prepare to fight a dangerous enemy in the future?..........Jak & Daxter rocks!

blizzard_cool4888d ago

Indeed it is awesome! *drinks glass of wine*

Raoh4888d ago

shouldnt moments like that happen and the gamer then talks about it for years...

making these claims only desensitizes the moment..

Focker4204888d ago

Better get this hype train rolling for this so-called 'memorable moment'

That way when it happens every1 can cry and moan that it wasn't as good as they said it was.

I wonder what the next buzz word they'll slap in front of AI to make it sound exciting next? "Generative" as if it's creating its own content. Lol.

Cacabunga50d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo50d ago

i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?

just_looken50d ago

Though i agree the ai thing is already in other forms of media there have been ai translations/scripts/voice over and even full ai commercials aired on tv. Ubisoft has created a ai game creator story/vo/music except the building of the game

The new unreal engine has auto terrain creation tools

In the world of greed in which it is winning without any major blow back ai is our future.

everyone want's biden dead on the mic or a criminal instead of a woman and now we are getting ai everything because no one will stop watching/playing ai created media.

GamerRN50d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199249d ago

Exactly EA are just pure evil. When they are beating Bank of America to be voted the worst company to work for that’s saying a lot

Good thing I don’t buy their games day one and wait for deep deep sale years after launch (the select few games I am actually interested in)

Gaming is making so much money yet the greed of these companies is never ending

CEO’s and people on board making millions yet cutting jobs to those who are actually making the products

Knightofelemia51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.

ChasterMies50d ago

I having a feeling that most of the layoffs in the industry are based on the idea that AI will do the same job for less.

DarXyde49d ago

Very likely, yes.

Made worse by the fact that the execs aren't changing their compensations.

My deepest fear at this point is that we are now in the capitalism endgame.

At this point, we really should just burn AI to the ground. Executives cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
How are those people expected to support families if everything gets automated?

Barlos50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.

No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.

CobraKai50d ago

Exactly. If or when games start becoming more AI than people, im done with gaming. AI and companies like EA can suck donkey d***k.

just_looken50d ago

Though i agree remember this is no ps3/360 era were we got up to 3 games in one generation from on developer like gears/halo/bioware/sony/ms

The people today are pro esg/sweet baby for the most part AAA gaming is imploding right now.

We should be stepping back re evaluate everything as a whole this year xmen 97 written/directed by a woman that is nuts and its also being made by a group reshaping bodies to be less sexual like wtf. A dam famous cartoon from the 90's is being rebuilt with millions spent to be worse in everyway.

Gaming/movies/tv shows made today are worse than what we had 7years ago ai won't change this but that ai is also being made by these groups so either way we are screwed.

Eonjay50d ago

Don't be of afraid of women. Sexy characters in games and movies still exist. Got my Stellar Blade on preorder!!! Everything all the time doesn't need to be sexual...that's stupid, childish and dull.

Chocoburger50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"

EA - Continuing to evolve our business and teams

EA CEO Andrew Wilson writes: "In this time of change, we expect these decisions to impact approximately 5 percent of our workforce. I understand this will create uncertainty and be challenging for many who have worked with such dedication and passion and have made important contributions to our company. While not every team will be impacted, this is the hardest part of these changes, and we have deeply considered every option to try and limit impacts to our teams. Our primary goal is to provide team members with opportunities to find new roles and paths to transition onto other projects. Where that’s not possible, we will support and work with each colleague with the utmost attention, care, and respect. Communicating these impacts has already begun and will be largely completed by early next quarter."

All the big ones doing the same stuff. Terrible. I just hope that all these people are able to get a new job as soon as possible, God know that it is horrible to be left jobless when you have your kids or your parents depending on your financial help

outsider162458d ago

Is it possible maybe this whole ai thing is in play?

just_looken57d ago

Another long list that skips over UPS cutting 12,000 jobs those workers as we know work without ac low pay and old box trucks but that company had to cut 12k jobs do too loosing billions of dollars year 2 year.

https://edition.cnn.com/202...

The greed and lack of transparency/oversight is disgusting.

Ups are still making bang but not enough for a golden boat fleet.

Remember we all use ups at some time even stuff in our stores this is going to be a huge issue gong forward i know in my area they removed half the state ups stores northern half least population got some 3rd party running packages now from minivans.

Sonic188157d ago

When I explan this I get called a troll 🤔 like wtf

thorstein57d ago

@just_looken

UPS is a different story altogether.

They are paying the people doing the actual work/ earning the money more and eliminating management.

CrimsonWing6958d ago (Edited 58d ago )

You do realize around this time this happens all throughout many industries (not just the game industry), right? It has to do with taxes for these major companies, like tax subsidies for downsizing. You want to know a little secret? Around May or so you’ll see a spike in hiring…

It blows my mind that people are oblivious to corporate workings.

Andrew33658d ago

So over 25 huge companies cut jobs every year like this and it only got noticed this time?

CrimsonWing6958d ago (Edited 58d ago )

@Andrew336

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Google it up if you’re uninformed of how corporations work. Only gamers seem to live in a bubble and when they see things like crunch, acquisitions, and lay-offs they act like this is the only industry it happens to and how shocked they are about it.

Welcome to the real world, kid.

thorstein57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

EA CEO Wilson's total compensation was 20 million. Let's take away 19 million (I'm sure he can survive on 1 million.... somehow).

1 million is the salary of an in the chair developer @100,000 for 10 years.

He could earn 1 million a year.

And save the jobs of 15 in the chair devs for A DECADE (plus benefits) with ONE YEAR'S compensation.

RhinoGamer8858d ago

No Executive accountability or firings I see...

just_looken57d ago

Do not worry they will take over 40mill say sorry then get hired by playstation or xbox

blackblades57d ago

I heard Japan does it better, they do layoffs like what's happening with companies in the west. The higher ups also being agreeing to to lower there own salary. These MFs like jim and Phil isnt gonna do that they want that $

Sonic188158d ago

Like I said earlier, this is happening all around the gaming industry.

Petebloodyonion58d ago

The point I feel is problematic about all of this is that focusing on Owned Ip means more sequels, remasters and more of what was selling last year.

TheColbertinator58d ago

EA is certainly among the worst,if not the worst
