Via IMHW: "Before I start I know a lot of you will be thinking that 2010 Fifa World Cup South Africa will be EA’s four yearly cash in on the worlds greatest tournament and will offer a game with gimmicks rather than a game with new and substantial footie content. Well it may surprise you but I am about to tell you otherwise."
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.
BULL
THe author tried hard in the first chapter , but fails to indeed show us why it isnt a complete rip off and waste of time .
Gameplay hasnt changed , onine not really asides from modes , and even he admits that all of the minor stuff will be there in fifa 111 in september .
There is only one reason to drop so easily your hard earned cash :
you are a die hard fifa fan , and can't live without the world cup modes they sneakily removed in fifa 10 .
Otherwise just get pes , or in fifa f keep creating unofficial tournament with the same national teams and players .
That's a way too costly bunch of painted supporters and crowd and theme songs and menus .
^^ Like you said, but... I fall into the diehard groups of football fans, so I just gotta purchase this one, especially when world cup is so close and I am too lazy to update the rosters.
On the whole I like the presentation of this game, it really makes you feel like you are in the worldcup. But anyway, yeh it is just fifa2010, so if you are hard on cash, don't bother buying it. If you are a fan like me, who buys magazines, and keeps track of who is injured and what not, and wants to feel like they are in a world cup(meaning you want to play dressup with fanfare included)by all means GET IT!
Thanks, I'll wait for Pure Football.
I'm sick of PES and Fifa every year, it needs to stop.
The trophy in the picture looks like a Kakuna from pokemon.
