One of more interesting games coming to the PSN & Xbox Live Arcade, just became a release PlayStation fans may be concerned about. After being questioned by the gaming community about the price difference on the PSN versus XBLA, the games developers responded with a detailed, although convoluted, statement explaining why the game is priced higher on PSN.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
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.
i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?
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.
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.
All that is already been happening

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
I expected this after people did the math and worked out how much more PSN was.
Oh and the word is Imminent meaning "very soon" not Eminent meaning "of high station".
Problem here is that when the price is dropped to 10 USD then PSN EU people are actually paying more for the game. And the cycle goes on...
If the price cut does occur Amy will still be available in the EU region and only be postponed in the US. So the article stating the PSN people will get this later than Xbox Live people is a tad bit misleading
Where were these PSN users when other games cost more on PSN?
Crysis 1 is cheaper on XBL
The EA/Activision/ubisoft etc full retail games for download are cheaper on XBL
And my personal favourite is that the Goldeneye DLC is free on US PSN & worldwide on XBL but is £1.59 on the UK PSN.
So why the sudden outcry with Amy?
I'm glad i got an Xbox earlier this year as i can now compare the prices between the platforms. All of the publishers are screwing over us PSN Users. It's been happening for a while.
It's about time Sony did something about it as i'm now purchasing download titles only on xbox because Sony won't demand price parity from the publishers. They're losing money from gamers such as myself who prefer the PS3 to the 360.
What are they stupid? Just decrease the amount of Euro's being made on European PSN to even out 10 dollars which is what 7.85 Euro? Why didn't they just do this from the beginning?
I vote for the lower price point. To me it's not about $3, it's about the simple fact that there's no real good reason, unless you count the PR bullshit explanation, that this should cost more on PSN than XBLA. If they were extra content, or it was a more beefed up version then okay. Otherwise it's just bullshit
