It's a bit of a shame when developers put out a demo only to have it quickly taken down because of problems that seem to magically arise out of nowhere. Regardless, we managed to get some time in with the Crysis 2 PS3 multiplayer demo - which is no longer working at the moment because Crytek wants to address the problems that users have been complaining about, specifically something to do with connection issues, before the full retail game hits stores on Tuesday this coming week.
I'm going to be frank, regardless of what Crytek or other critics say about the game, it looks great, but not that great, and for understandable reasons too. It doesn't break the game or the experience. First of all, if you're looking for hyper-realistic graphics on a console, you're barking up the wrong tree. You're going to have to invest in a high end PC for visuals like that. Sure, PS3 games like Uncharted and Killzone 3 look amazing, but they're all stylized and utilize more post-processing effects than you can shake a waggle stick at. Anywho, I digress, Crysis 2 looks great and it plays great as well.
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'm far from sold on crysis 2, even after the demo.
I wonder how many "Can it run Crysis 2?" jokes will be made now? :p
It looks and plays great, but from the demo, there doesn't appear to be any game changing features. Then again, neither does CoD, but look how well that sold.
