A new year, a new FIFA. To many, last year's edition was not only the best of the FIFA series to date but one of the best football games ever. As such, great things have been expected of FIFA 12, and EA Sports have not been trying to put out the fire of hype. Instead, they have been continually stoking it with the usual buzzwords of 'evolution', 'better defending', 'faster dribbling'; the type always associated with an approaching football game. Until now, only a select few had been able to see to what extent EA had delivered on its promise of a much improved footballing experience. Today (14/09) saw the release of the FIFA 12 demo, and the public at large were able to experience it for the first time. Here are my impressions after a few hours of getting to know the game. . .
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?
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor & Fallen Order are now playable on Amazon Luna thanks to a new multi-year deal with EA. Cloud gaming just leveled up.
Sadly just if you subscribe to Luna it appears. I hooked my EA account into it, which has Jedi Survivor, and it doesn't show in my Library. They don't show as a source either, so just a heads up to not let your purchasing decision be swayed as to where you pick the titles up if a bonus streaming option held any interest.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson talked about the company's business and plans and shared a few interesting remarks about the Switch 2.
The only game I bought from EA this generation has been Jedi Survivor and it was a broken mess (might still be)
FIFA 12's gonna Rock!!
Bring it on..
The demo was amazing. I might just pick it up even though I only wanted to get FIFA 13 next year since I buy a FIFA game every 4 years but this year I might just give in to the temptation.
