respawn entertainment dice

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?

Leaked: ‘Star Wars: The Fallen Order’ poster! C’mon, Respawn. Rock our tits!

The Star Wars games, since Disney gave EA the license, have landed somewhere between “eh” and “ass” for most people. That said, I think Respawn is the company that shall reverse the license’s fortunes.

‘Apex Legends’ scores 25 million fucking players in one week. Well, they’re not fucking, but you get it

apex legends 25 million users

Man, good for Respawn. After a yawn-inducing Titanfall, and a brilliant but ignored Titanfall 2, it seems as though they’ve finally punched through with Apex Legends. I mean, 25 million users in the first week? Good goddamn. I haven’t played it myself, because I suck at these sorts of games, but I’ve found it extremely entertaining to watch.

star wars!

May The Fourth be with us, indeed! (Seriously, I vomited into my hands typing that. And not because I’m hopped up on Theraflu and head cold mucuous) But seriously, Respawn joins an a disgustingly awesome cadre of talent (BioWare, Visceral) working on Star Wars projects.

‘Call of Duty’ 2016 being developed by Infinity Ward; here’s hoping it sucks less than ‘Ghosts’

Call of Duty - Ghosts.

Man. Infinity Ward gave me my favorite Call of Duty way back in the day with Modern Warfare 2. They also provided my least favorite (after like, the entire team or some shit, left for Respawn) in Ghosts. Here is hoping the three-year development cycle is kind to them and whatever they’re bringing this year.

titanfall

I enjoyed me some Titanfall. By myself, because it was Microsoft-exclusive, and all my friends have PlayStations. I may have enjoyed it more if it had a single-player campaign to run through, or if it was multi-platform. Well. If this news holds up, both of my prior complaints shall be null and void when the sequel is released.

Gasp! Egads! Shazam? An Electronic Arts CFO Czar has intimated that a Titanfall sequel will “probably” happen. It will “probably” be multi-platform, too. Hard to say. Wink wink.
