What if EA Sports’ Ignite Engine sucks?

A lot of talk has surrounded EA’s next-gen engine, but what if it fails to live up to expectations?

sigfredod3838d ago

Until now Ignite has fail to impress me at least on the graphics part, fifa, madden and live doesn't look that impressive

1nsomniac3837d ago

I can kind of understand when it comes to facial graphics as there's not a massive improvement.

The movement, animation, collision detection, physics, & weight distributions are so amazing it's crazy though, there on another level!!

People need to stop focusing on 1 single think & ignoring everything else. Look around at everything it's awesome!

yezz3837d ago

It's an improvement and of course I'll take it but yeah we're talking about new console generation here so it should look better. Hoping that the next ones are made focusing mainly on PS4/XOne..

In FIFA the cutscene animations are very laggy, the movements are incredibly robotic for a game that is released in 2013. Gameplay animations are pretty good though.

SIRHC133837d ago

2K14's Next Gen engine completely blows away anything I've seen from Ignite. EA has some catching up to do.

malokevi3837d ago

Yep, I was expecting the opposite, after all the talking EA has done about Ignite. But then 2K comes along and makes them look silly! How did that happen?

sovietsoldier3837d ago

really wish we could get 2k foot ball back and would love to see 2k15 hockey or base ball on xboxone.

TrueJerseyDevil3837d ago (Edited 3837d ago )

2k hockey pffft EA has the better hockey game for sure. And 2k baseball was never good it is all about the show

chrissx3837d ago (Edited 3837d ago )

Yea ignites not that impressive. 2Ksports however did a great job with NBA 2K14. That game is so visually impressive and is true next gen quality

PR_FROM_OHIO3837d ago

What if EA SPORTS actually made good games?? Lol

PS4isKing_823837d ago

I saw FIFA being played yesterday in my electronics store and it looked really bland. The crowed and player animations looked really stiff and awkward. Not very next gen like I would normally expect from ea sports games.

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman4d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath24d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Is Madden still a big deal? I remember how huge it was to have a console launch with a Madden title. Now it seems like no one cares

CrimsonWing695d ago

I’m pretty sure Madden games sell like crazy at launch still.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai10d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga9d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole7d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville7d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5210d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_9d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville7d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM9d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka9d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_9d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.
