Apache Air Assault is a flight simulator unlike any other They’ve played, and those who know me are aware of my love for simulation games. The first and probably the most obvious is the fact that for a flight combat simulator, your vehicle is not a fighter jet, but a variety of attack helicopters. You have a wide selection of choppers to choose from, including the Apache Longbow, Fire Scout, and even a few prototypes. One thing to note is that the helicopter you choose is extremely vital to your success on the battlefield, and with a balanced loadout system, strategy plays a large role.
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.
Impressive score. Is this a full priced game?
The demo's pretty awesome - had some fun times with it, but I'd say its a good rent for the majority of gamers.
HAHA. This has to be a joke, or the author is extremely inexperienced at actually reviewing games and playing simulators.
This isn't a "sim". It's an Arcade experience. There's no real simulation to the game besides the "Realism" flying mode that just adds barely any control to the helicopter. The average engagement of an AH-64 is conducted circa one kilometer from the actual AOE, but once again, console kiddies need that cocacaine shot of action, so all your engagements are 10m from the target.
The damage model is unrealistic, as are the weapon damage tables and just all the game. Go play ArmA 2, fly one of the choppers in that, and even then it's only a semi-simulated environment. Go pick up Digital Combat Simulator: BlackShark. Then you can tote about "your love for simulators", because if this is the only "simulator" experience you've got, I'm chalking you down as another console hero.
Try playing the game using realistic controls and cockpit view ;)
I liked the demo, but I'll probably wait until it's cheaper.
