It has been 16 years since the first Need for Speed series was launched, and I still have very fond memories playing it on an old DOS PC. It has been a long time and I thought it would be very fitting with the most recent release, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, to take a Sunday drive through the old neighborhood where we grew up and finally heading back home to where we are at now.
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.
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.
You know the old saying...
If you need half naked girls to sell the product, then it isn't worth the purchase.
Sums up NFS really... Most Wanted was ok but everything else is paff!
Was hoping to see some screens of these chicks. Dislike
where did the babes go?
Naaah, NFS:HP2 is still by far one of the best racing games ever. NFS:U was alright, but after that, NFS went downhill.
GT5 may take the crown as my personal best racing game ever soon enough though because it's... amazing O_O
And holy crap, NFS2:SE!!! I still have the disk for that on PC XD. Soo awesome! :)
