"All of the multiplayer modes pit 8 racers against one another. Two of the game modes – Race and Elimination – do pretty much what they say on the tin. However, to stand a fighting chance of finishing a race placed anything other than abject last, you have to fight dirty. At key points around the track, you are positively encouraged to throw the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons by triggering ‘power plays’ – generally, triggering one of these results in part of the scenery exploding in a particularly spectacular fashion, bringing debris, buildings and even flaming jumbo jets down on your unsuspecting rivals. If all of that isn’t enough to keep you from dozing off at the wheel, then the power plays that change the layout of the track should stave off any spells of nitrous-powered narcolepsy.
Explosions FTW"
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
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!"
