Can you remember the last time you actually cared about an EA game?
Hazelight Studios has been doing OK under their publishing umbrella.
Battlefield 4.
Aw, man, underrated. Great in VR, too.
I guess it depends a lot on your background. I thought it felt simple compared to the old X-Wing series but not necessarily dumbed down, they did a decent job streamlining it for a modern take.
I guess that means some people can find it too slow and intricate and others too arcadey. I imagine the Skate guys are having to make a lot of those same decisions for a lot of those same reasons.
I recently saw a documentary that talked about conditions at EA even back in the 90's turns out I never cared for an EA game ever. I cared about the studios making them despite the fact that EA made ridiculously stupid choices.
I played a fair amount of Jedi Fallen Order. Someone said Squadrons below, too, and I agree.
Titanfall 2 is an all-timer.
Split Fiction is sitting at second on the Steam best sellers at the moment. Reviews are sitting at "overwhelmingly positive".
The Command and Conquer remaster was maybe the best contemporary remaster this gen, even before they released the source code.
Oh, and the Dead Space remake. That was great. Should have done better.
Lost in Random? Underrated. Should have done better, too.
I don't know, man. Companies don't make games, people make games, and a LOT of people make games under EA.
I do want to play the Dead Space remake, but I won't buy it unless the DRM is removed from it on Steam.
It Takes Two was pretty well received.
