WireJacked - Yesterday, EA and Spicy Horse Games announced Alice: Madness Returns, the sequel to the dark PC hit American McGee's Alice. Madness Returns continues the same dark and deranged style of the McGee's Alice, and will feature a deeper look at the twisted world of Alice's Wonderland.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
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.
EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.
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.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
American Mcgees Alice is still one of my top 10 PC games of all time. It used the Quake 3 engine I believe, and still looks great. But, a great game isnt defined only by its looks. Theres been plenty of visually stunning games, but failed due to poor controls, lack of interesting story/character development, and gameplay.
Alice had it all, not to mention an awesome soundtrack from NiN drummer Chris Vrenna. Just an immensely artistic FUN game with a darkside.
Looking forward to the sequal. Im also glad their porting it to consoles for wider audience, given PC games died years ago.
