GPT: "A bad habit of game designers and publishers since almost the beginning of gaming is to constantly re-release or release sequels to games on an almost yearly basis. Not only does this lead to low expectation, but also to a stagnation of game design and standards. Here are five series I think should take a break and slow things down to deliver ..."
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
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.
i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?
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.
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
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.
All that is already been happening

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.

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.
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!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
Totally agree with "every EA sports title". You need to stop, EA. A new game every year with a few (minor) graphical tweaks and transfer updates for 60$. I'd very much prefer DLC and a new game every 2 years or maybe when you actually need it.
What? No FINAL Fantasy?
"if Sega took their time and lovingly crafted a sequel to Sonic not just for diehard fans but also for those who enjoyed Sonic in the past."
I love how this article completely ignores Sonic Colors and Generations when it comes to Sonic "burning out".
There are many more type of games out there that are more guilty than Sonic, and if you wanna pick on that series, than you mine as well pick on Mario, Pac-man, Pokemon, and every spinoff of those games too.
Yea, I totally disagree with #5. Maybe a couple years ago, but not now. Sonic Colours was a good step in the right direction, just because it wasn't on a HD console doesn't mean it should be ignored. Sonic 4, while is was a rehash and had poor physics, the complaints have been heard and will be addressed in the next episode, and those complaints have been heard and worked on ala Classic Sonic in the new anniversary game. Which brings me to Sonic Generations, which looks awesome and the demo was great even for an early version. They are finally listening and getting back on track, to stop now would be foolish.
Agreed with that list.
Sonic could go on break for a couple of years.
Halo could also use some fine tuning, it also has a few spin off games too. some fans are getting annoyed
Call of Duty, Act is going to milk that until the tits of the cow can produce no more milk. lets be honest, most people probably play it for the online anyways. so why improve on single player?
The Sims....eh-, the gameplay isn't too deep. just make the sims 2 pets, but in the 3rd series, (sims 3: pets) and we are good to go.
EA started to make Madden '12, even though they went on strike, so even if football went away, they would still make their shitty sports games.
