EA appeals to parents with Create

Publisher expects long-term sales from innovative puzzle title

-Alpha4970d ago (Edited 4970d ago )

I like the idea of being able to use a "Sandbox" approach to solving puzzles, but really, it's nothing LBP2 can't do.

Create is a totally cheap knockoff and is light-years away from the polish, charm, and creative freedoms LBP has.

Lucky for Create, LBP2 got pushed back. Otherwise I fear this game would have disappeared into oblivion. I like how they totally act as if LBP doesn't exist lol. I guess they have to, but come on, this is a perfect example of imitation.

Baltis4970d ago (Edited 4970d ago )

Have you played it and actually sat down with an indepth build of the game and tested this theory out? Did you play, in depth, LBP2 and come to this conclusion?

I'd love to hear how your opinion is anything but a theory and, in fact, grounded in reality. Oh, wait, what was that -- You haven't played Create yet? Gotcha.

Basically, what it is is this. You cut your teeth on LBP and are partial to it. You don't like anyone trying a similar thing out for fear they might, long shot, but still might, pull off something better. I bet when Power Ranger's came out you Swung around dropping the fact that, not only was Voltron better, but he was First too.

is his theory any less based in reality as this comment

"I bet when Power Ranger's came out you Swung around dropping the fact that, not only was Voltron better, but he was First too."

"Oh, wait, what was that -- You haven't played Create yet? Gotcha."
HAVE YOU? Have you played LBP? I hear you dont like long games that challenge your skills as a gamer so i doubt it

SHUT UP EMO

JustSomeLogic4969d ago

Thats a retarded arguement. He isn't the one judging Create before playing it. He doesn't need to play either game to say that you shouldn't judge a game till you've played it. Seriously, did you even think before posting that reply? Am I the only person with logic and reasoning skills around here?? Gees

People need to learn to give things a chance, try things out and then make your decision.

-Alpha4969d ago

I don't have to play it to see what the end result is going to be.

I am very aware of what Create is, and what it does, and it's not impressive from what I have seen. The graphics, detail, and level editor all seem very simplistic.

This is not a matter of "fact vs. theory". I am not theorizing anything, I am pointing out observations. I am willing to eat my words if Create ends up being great. Frankly, I doubt it.

it was a single screen, and your little character had to make it across rhe screen jumping on blocks, all while the water was rising

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

I wonder what the next buzz word they'll slap in front of AI to make it sound exciting next? "Generative" as if it's creating its own content. Lol.

Cacabunga62d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo62d ago

i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?

just_looken62d ago

Though i agree the ai thing is already in other forms of media there have been ai translations/scripts/voice over and even full ai commercials aired on tv. Ubisoft has created a ai game creator story/vo/music except the building of the game

The new unreal engine has auto terrain creation tools

In the world of greed in which it is winning without any major blow back ai is our future.

everyone want's biden dead on the mic or a criminal instead of a woman and now we are getting ai everything because no one will stop watching/playing ai created media.

GamerRN62d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199261d ago

Exactly EA are just pure evil. When they are beating Bank of America to be voted the worst company to work for that’s saying a lot

Good thing I don’t buy their games day one and wait for deep deep sale years after launch (the select few games I am actually interested in)

Gaming is making so much money yet the greed of these companies is never ending

CEO’s and people on board making millions yet cutting jobs to those who are actually making the products

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.

ChasterMies62d ago

I having a feeling that most of the layoffs in the industry are based on the idea that AI will do the same job for less.

DarXyde61d ago

Very likely, yes.

Made worse by the fact that the execs aren't changing their compensations.

My deepest fear at this point is that we are now in the capitalism endgame.

At this point, we really should just burn AI to the ground. Executives cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
How are those people expected to support families if everything gets automated?

Barlos62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

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.

CobraKai62d ago

Exactly. If or when games start becoming more AI than people, im done with gaming. AI and companies like EA can suck donkey d***k.

just_looken62d ago

Though i agree remember this is no ps3/360 era were we got up to 3 games in one generation from on developer like gears/halo/bioware/sony/ms

The people today are pro esg/sweet baby for the most part AAA gaming is imploding right now.

We should be stepping back re evaluate everything as a whole this year xmen 97 written/directed by a woman that is nuts and its also being made by a group reshaping bodies to be less sexual like wtf. A dam famous cartoon from the 90's is being rebuilt with millions spent to be worse in everyway.

Gaming/movies/tv shows made today are worse than what we had 7years ago ai won't change this but that ai is also being made by these groups so either way we are screwed.

Don't be of afraid of women. Sexy characters in games and movies still exist. Got my Stellar Blade on preorder!!! Everything all the time doesn't need to be sexual...that's stupid, childish and dull.

Chocoburger62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

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.

SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5

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!"
