EA cant handle 2k thats why they paid for that NFL deal

smoothdude4855d ago

I have never played a 2k football game, however, Madden has a huge following so I don't think it has anything to do with game quality. It was probably EA as they are trying to increase their sales by whatever means they can.

LoydX-mas4855d ago

Too bad you have never played. Look at what 2K did 6 years ago vs. Madden 11:

Yea, I know some of the details are not as good, but the gameplay is as good or better physics wise. And remember, NFL 2K5 was released on last-gen systems.

"I don't think it has anything to do with game quality"

Aw man. Its the equivalent of the Tony Hawk series, but for sports games.

dc14855d ago

Nothing beats genuine competition.

Where would NBA 2K be without EA’s Live (Of course EA hit a major snag in their attempt to bring a different approach to the game controls). .. you get my point.

poe4855d ago

Does Mahalo games know you use their content for commercial purposes?

dc14855d ago

Thanks for turning me on to them (not sure if your comment was directed at me.. and if so, not sure why).
Looks like the MVGT group just launch in November. They have a fantastic concept: TMZ turn style interviews for gamming. I wish them the best.

@Truly hope this bears out
Know your history fanboy the 2k guys made the basketball games for the sega saturn. They were far more realistic than live then and that made live change from the arcade type games they use to make. So where would live be without them. You had full control of your players moves and special moves like the real players have in real life. NBA live was just a run down the court dunk fest in those days. I remeber the first live nba live 95 and the games the 2k guys made on the saturn was far more realistic gameplay wise.

The saturn basketball games were doing runners,spinmoves, fadaway jumpers, pumpfakes and crossovers in their games long before live put player controlled moves in their games. Those guys on that team has been ahead of the game for along time. And thats why their kicking Ea's butt.

2012 world coming to an end so we wont be able to see it

badboy8084855d ago

you tell that to millions of birds that are falling out of the sky and millions of fish that dying across the globe.

RockmanII74855d ago

Ok. If millions of birds are falling dead out of the sky I'll run outside and yell at them "Hey! 2012 got delayed! Stop doing that!" and they'll all stop and I'll be remembered as a hero for generations to come ^_^

seinfan4855d ago

But it's not 2012 yet. How do you compensate for this?

golsilva4855d ago

this is the best time for sony san diego studios to make a nfl game. if they can get their foot in the gate then they could have another sports franchise. they are large enough to make two sports games a year like they did with the nba and mlb games although the nba series has been stopped right now, maybe they will start it off again or make an nfl game.

OGharryjoysticks4855d ago

I didn't think EA's NFL deal ever could have prevented one of the 3 console makers from making their own first party NFL game as long as they paid up to use it. I always thought the EA deal just secured the license to stop other 3rd parties.

samoon4855d ago

Can't EA just renew the license?

Cmon HHG.

jukins4855d ago

they could but theres some monopoly and ethics issues with the license. and now with madden sales steadily declining the nfl is probably looking at multiple licenses. im all for nfl2kx but im actualy hoping sony can get the mlb the show team or another team just as good and bring back nfl gameday series. and oh yea there may be NO nfl games (video games or real life) next year if owners and players dont agree to a new collective bargaining agreement

ALFAxD_CENTAURO4855d ago (Edited 4855d ago )

''Epic Mickey - 8.0/10.0''

This is the 1st time I see a score below 9 from HHG.

10 Best Disney Games Ever Made, Ranked

Despite Walt Disney's mixed history with video games, these games embody the magic of Disney the best.

When you think of Disney and video games, the first image that comes to your head could be a variety of things. Perhaps it's Kingdom Hearts, which remains one of the best Square Enix games due in little part to Disney’s influence.

Otherwise, it could be a classic game, since Disney has been mostly absent from the gaming world lately, save for some mobile ventures. Whether it be a nostalgic adventure with classic characters or a movie tie-in that makes an impression, let’s dust off Disney’s videogame legacy and find those quality standouts.

They just need a huge Disney collection to be honest

PhoenixUp1709d ago

Why are you making an article that amounts to the Disney Afternoon Collection? More classic Disney games should be handled like Mickey Castle of Illusion or Ducktales

Inzo1709d ago

Darkwing Duck & Chip and Dale absolutely.

Relientk771709d ago

Quackshot and Gargoyles

They need to bring back the Gargoyles cartoon or do something with that amazing IP

AnubisG1709d ago

The Lion King and Aladdin treatment? No, that id not a trestment. That is a lazy cashgrab. They should have remade those two like DuckTales was remade.

How Fake News Condemned the 3D Platformer

A great myth did the rounds in the gaming industry in the early 2000s: gamers were told nobody wanted 3D platformers anymore.

It was easier for companies to force this narrative on gamers than admit the inconvenient truth: that they simply weren’t up to the job of making entertaining 3D platformers. And they couldn’t be bothered trying.

luckytrouble2598d ago

There's always demand for a major genre during any given time frame. Late 90s into the mid 2000s, 3D platformers were pretty big. Crash, Jak & Daxter, Spyro, Mario, Donkey Kong, Banjo Kazooie, just about every licensed movie game to be made ever, and so many more lesser known titles embraced the trend. In the end though, it isn't so much that interest waned in that genre, but it increased drastically last gen in the FPS genre in particular. We got shooters, shooters, and more shooters that dominated annual release discussion and dominated the online communities, both first and third person cover. The Western RPG began to flourish as well, and the Japanese RPG gained attention as game design continued to transform in a newly discovered realm of HD development leading to the critically acclaimed Souls series.

The gaming landscape transformed, and straight, no frills platforming titles started to seem less enticing. They stopped being made because the demand wasn't really there. At this point though, gaming is experiencing a bit of renaissance. What was old is new again. Sony is reviving classic titles by the handful, and everyone is loving it. 3D platformers are coming back to prominence, and gamers couldn't be happier. Gaming may be hitting one of the best balances it has had in a long while now.

Paytaa2598d ago

Yeah I think starting with The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne and the insane start of this year for games, it's like we're in a new golden age of gaming.

"How Fake News Condemned the 3D Platformer" - Wait...CNN caused the death of 3D platformers...

Mexxan2596d ago

CNN? You, sir, must be stroking it all night long while being glued to Fux News...

Fearmonkey2596d ago

Nope...All mainstream media is propaganda. You there, must be a sheeple if you trust CNN...

_-EDMIX-_2598d ago

article is as stupid as it gets

in order for you to understand why something isn't being made you have to actually understand economics, you could not trick a community of people into believing something is not successful or not wanted , it is simply based on the numbers and in order for there to actually be strong sales of 3D Platformers there actually has to be a real demand.

In fact if such a demand actually existed you would actually see the Platformers that I've released selling absolutely unrealistic sales numbers because of the high demand ie titles like Ratchet and Clank should be seeing ridiculous millions of units being sold because they are basically one of the few Platformers that would release to a market begging for the concept.

This is what happens when you have an open market that is in demand of a concept they are not getting.

When LittleBigPlanet in Minecraft released those games went on to sell millions of units simply because the concept of creating content that other gamers are able to share and play was in demand, this is why you saw other titles like Terraria and even Mario maker made was because there was a demand.

THE DEMAND COMES BEFORE THE GAME, THE PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE THE GAME IS MADE.

So what this idiotic article is basically saying is that Millions upon millions of people want something that they're actively not buying? 😂😂😂 28514;😂

You cannot manipulate a market through news like that bud, if the community wants something they're going to buy it and the numbers will show the demand.

All genres in all mediums have their highs and lows.
