You’re only up to 11? I might as well autotweet it every 5 minutes. :P

How do you define equality? Your entire argument rests on that assumption, and a simple google search will prove you wrong if you’re arguing that women and men are treated equally. However, I suspect that given the binary nature of your argument against feminism, you’re not going to be open to having your prejudices…

Look at my response above...they changed their tune earlier this year after seeing how much money was in it. I would imagine the process will accelerate if the Bulletstorm remaster does well enough, though charging full price for a remastered last-gen game isn’t helping the cause.

Fifa and Madden keep EA in business. Mirror’s Edge is a vanity project at best.

EA said that the wouldn’t remaster last gen games, until they saw how well other publisher’s remasters were selling. :\

They talk about ships around 5:15 in archives of the livestream. Pick up tokens are indeed gone, but it doesn’t sound like the vehicles are just lying around in the maps either. They describe a battle point system, which could be similar to the one in the original Battlefront 2, but with vehicles now part of the…

$$$ trumps “meh”...and EA turned a handy profit. Besides, do you think Disney gives a shit? Look at their mobile Star Wars offerings. Cash grabs to a one. The one premium game was pulled from the AppStore.

For fuck’s sake, check your entitlement. Do you have any clue how many resources it takes to generate content for modern console games? We’re talking teams of hundreds, vs the 50 or so who were on BF2.

No one is calling it innovation, they said they listened to the player feedback- and let’s be honest, the devs at DICE are not stupid, they knew how players would react to the launch. BF1 was not the game they wanted to release, you can tell by the love that was put into every aspect of the game that did manage to…

This is all I could think about after seeing that screenshot, and I think Marselus Wallace’s speech is pretty apt for the GOP right now. Someone get Ving Rames on the phone!

Are you a game developer? I get a strong feeling that you’re not. Not to say that you’re not allowed to critique a game if you haven’t made one, but the depth of your naiveté regarding the realities of AAA game development is astounding.

Gamers care. They never forgive and never forget. After the Mass Effect 3 ending kerfuffle, can you really blame anyone for not being public about why a project failed?

I’d rather have them stay silent than pull a Sony and publicly throw a team under the bus for marketing and strategy failures that were not their fault. (see: No Man’s Sky)

Agreed. The sunk costs fallacy is sooooo seductive. I’ve worked on several games that suffered mightily for stubborn refusal to jettison concepts that weren’t working, only to eventually be cancelled anyway after costing the publisher additional millions. To be fair, I led one of them, so I’m no innocent myself. The…

That’s not how AAA game development works. Mass Effect was their flagship product after Dragon Age Inquisition. If Bioware had another project further in development, sure, they could have had an incubator team working on the Mass Effect tech longer. But in reality, they had an incubator team on “Dylan” at the time.…

Andromeda was not at all helped by releasing on the heels of Horizon Zero Dawn, which excelled at areas where Andromeda stumbled. It was a HUGE come down for me. I had to put Andromeda down for awhile so I could be more objective about the experience

Really? I had him in my party for most of the game, and I found that much of the Angara storyline revolved around him.

Yeah, no kidding...I’m with you, I hope there will be better rotation. I would imagine we’ll see some new multiplayer classes too. The fact is that ME3 multiplayer made considerably more money than the core game, for a fraction of the cost. People can’t get enough of those blind packs. :\

EA has a long and storied history of killing the studios it acquires:

It absolutely will affect DLC. The maintenance team is specifically working on patches and multiplayer updates. There has been zero mention of single-player DLC in the pipe. Now, it’s quite possible that there could be one DLC expansion in progress, as it would have been started as the main game was going off to…
