EA has published a new patent that wants to add a replay editor to its games, allowing players to modify the captured gameplay content.
EA has hired ex-military personnel in order to help shape the next Battlefield game as part of the Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) program.
Why don't you Hire Your Old Dev Team who brought us the brilliance of Battlefield Bad Company 2 while you're at it. It was more exciting than anything recent in the Battlefield series. It just needs to be updated to reach modern times, but it was so great at its core.
It's what made zipper and slant six awesome. They had military vets working for them, no just as consultants, but as developers as well. I wish Sony never closed them, MAG 2 or an update to MAG and a new socom is much needed.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
Depends on the game. For shooters e.g. COD I couldn't care less but playing SWTOR doing flashpoints it's annoying to have some dude just quit and have to look for another member and start the whole FP over again.
Rage quitting has become an even bigger deal since the introduction of stat-tracking. People just have to quit now or else their stats may reflect their actual gaming abilities!
I am very happy I haven't ran into any rage quitters on SWTOR. It is such a pain to find a group in the first place.
we are all guilty of this.
I try my hardest no to. But when you make some else Rage Quit its just priceless lol
Yes, it is ruining online gaming. In games like League of Legends/DotA/etc, missing one player on a team is likely to influence the whole game. In MMOs, it can be quite annoying when someone in a party simply leaves at some point during an instance; which often leads to the party disbanding (well, for PUGs anyway) if a replacement is not found in a short delay. It is also an annoyance in shooters that do not have a drop-in/drop-out feature. I don't really care about it in 1v1 games (like a fighting game); but in team-based games, it can affect the experience of the whole team and in some cases, should be a bannable offense if done on a regular basis.
