Respawn Entertainment co-founder is now taking over EA’s DICE LA. Fuck yes.
The co-founder of Respawn Entertainment is now going to be also running Electronic Arts’ DICE LA. Respawn is one of the few bright spots under the EA Umbrella, so this is fantastic. The company churns out fanastic-ass games, from Titanfall 2 to Apex Legends to Fallen Order. Sweet fuck, could EA be figuring it out?
EA has canceled its open-world ‘Star Wars’ game again as it learns absolutely fucking nothing
EA has canceled its open-world Star Wars game, again. My goodness, my gracious. The company looked at the early-in-development title and thought to itself, “we need Star Wars movie sooner than this can yield it” and, yup, dead. EA’s handling of the Star Wars license has been a fucking travesty up until this point, and well. Why change now? Keep churning out half-baked multiplayer titles and deny the public the open-world single-player experience its clamoring for.
EA’s ‘Star Wars’ game is now on the shelf after ‘Uncharted’ director Amy Hennig leaves company
EA! How badly can you continuously fuck up, BRO!? You had Amy Hennig, one of the industry’s preeminent directors helming your Star Wars game. Now you no longer got Amy Hennig, and you no longer got that Star Wars title. Ya’ll a company worthy of pairing up with the equally inept Lucasfilm.
Rumor: BioWare’s ‘Anthem’ is probably delayed until 2019, so we all know how this is probably going to go
Yesterday, Kotaku dropped an expose about BioWare’s upcoming game Anthem. Nestled within the story was the news that the game is delayed until 2019. But wait, it gets better! The title must also be released no later than March of that year, due to fiscal calendars and shit. Oh, Electronic Arts. Masters of setting studios up to fail.
EA is acquiring ‘Titanfall’ developer. Let’s see how long until they ruin yet another studio
Electronic Arts is acquiring Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind Titanfall. Now the clock is ticking, folks. Let’s see how long it takes the Behemoth to suck all the marrow out of this recently purchased studio. Let’s see how long before its carcass can be thrown onto the heap alongside the shit-soaked ruins of BioWare and the desiccated husk of Visceral Games.
EA shutting down Visceral Games and cancelling their ‘Star Wars’ game because they are fucking Sewer Fluid
Fucking Electronic Arts, dude. They’ve shuttered Visceral Games, the minds behind Dead Space, who were until recently working on a Star Wars game. Not only that, but the project was being shepherded by Amy Hennig, who made her reputation on the fucking Uncharted franchise.
‘Mass Effect’ Trilogy Remaster teased by Electronic Arts
Once again, people around the Mass Effect franchise are teasing a remake of the original trilogy. I’m going to level with you: I 100% believe a remake is coming, and the only reason it has not been released yet is because it’s going to be strategically timed to prime the gaming psyche before the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda. Also, for what it’s worth: I would pay inordinate amounts of money to have a remade trilogy in my greasy paws right now. Fuck.
‘Titanfall 2’ Teaser Trailer: Now With Laser Swords
Laser Swords! Mechs! Titanfall 2! I’ll buy it.
