StickSkills said, "With Battlefield 4, though, the expected star treatment for a game in its respective genre wasn’t there. How did we learn about what could be one of the biggest games in the year it releases? Through EA trying to get us to pre-order Medal of Honor: Warfighter. It was first thought to be a leak, but after this morning’s trailer, it seems like EA is just fine with everyone knowing of the game’s existence."
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson writes: "In this time of change, we expect these decisions to impact approximately 5 percent of our workforce. I understand this will create uncertainty and be challenging for many who have worked with such dedication and passion and have made important contributions to our company. While not every team will be impacted, this is the hardest part of these changes, and we have deeply considered every option to try and limit impacts to our teams. Our primary goal is to provide team members with opportunities to find new roles and paths to transition onto other projects. Where that’s not possible, we will support and work with each colleague with the utmost attention, care, and respect. Communicating these impacts has already begun and will be largely completed by early next quarter."
All the big ones doing the same stuff. Terrible. I just hope that all these people are able to get a new job as soon as possible, God know that it is horrible to be left jobless when you have your kids or your parents depending on your financial help
The point I feel is problematic about all of this is that focusing on Owned Ip means more sequels, remasters and more of what was selling last year.
Madden and CoD are every year, at least BF is doing it every 2 years
Why is everyone so shocked? Bad Company and Bad Company 2 came out on a two year cycle, MOH is now on a two year cycle and now Battlefield is on a two year cycle, just like the COD games.
People were hoping Battlefield would be a solid piece of ammo against annual COD releases, but EA is just as bad, if not worse when you consider they bad mouthed Activision for their release schedule and COD Elite, then they come out with their own games with the same schedule and Battlefield Premium. Throw in online passes, and its plain to see why so many people dislike EA.
Hmm regular BF vs regular COD, kind of obvious what to pick
Exactly why I kicked all those games into touch and got myself a pc. Games like Red Orchestra 2 offer a far superior fps experience.
This is great. There hasn't been an announced release date for Battlefield 4, just the Beta.
Are you all going to play BF3 for 3+ years? Are you all willing to just keep buying DLC for 3+ years. If not, then BF4 should happen.
Sports games have to release every year so this is stupid to compare Madden to BF.
