Seems a little ambitious. However, this make me very excited!

TekoIie4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

Sounds a little ambitious??? The article didnt even talk about ANY in game features so i dont get whats so ambitous...

This website is basically just saying "hey we'll take pre orders for it, and if it exists then we leaked it OFFICIALLY first"

sly-Famous4394d ago

BT Games are very rarely wrong, they were right the move when it came and they are right about GOW4, they even have it on their pre-oder list, so their is no reason to start doubting them now.

TekoIie4393d ago (Edited 4393d ago )

@sly-Famous

Because one website saying "hey it exists" is now a legitimate proof that a game exists... Has God of war 4 been announced yet??? NO. So they're basically pulling the same stunt with that.

Seriuosly how gullible are people being? We know the game will come out but this website has very little credibility for its claim...

Also when were they right sly? Because atm they cant be right or wrong since they're basically just looking for people to visit their site by throwing out a fake "announcement"...

chadachada1234393d ago

Reminds me of the guy who had a pre-order for Duke Nukem Forever from TEN YEARS AGO. Gamestop honored it, too, and then Gearbox sent the dude some free swag.

Of course they're making Dead Space 3, but a company taking pre-orders alone doesn't inherently mean anything.

Patriots_Pride4393d ago (Edited 4393d ago )

I am excited but sad at the same time.

Excited because Dead Space is the only horror game that makes me feel like I actually playing a scary game and not a action game (RE5).

Sad because it might come out on these dinosaur consoles which hold back gaming because of ram issues.

Edit: Assassins Creed will benefit allot next gen - UBI have done an excellent job with the graphics and scale of the world but the limitation are now showing which is why I will skip the next AC.

DeadSpaced4393d ago

I was really hoping it would come out on the next-gen consoles. Imagine games like Assassins creed 3, Crysis 3, and Dead Space 3 on a next-gen console.

cjflora4393d ago

Skipping out on AC3 just because you feel that the current consoles are getting limited by their hardware is probably the worst excuse I've ever heard for skipping a game. While games may be starting to get limited by the hardware, you also have to consider that developers have gotten very familiar with the current consoles and finding ways to optimize them as much as possible. This means that technically AC3 be better than its predecessors, which I think would make for a better argument to not play the older games vs the newer games.

Convas4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

Yes. YES. Oh, and YES!!!

I know it's coming, it's just a matter of time. 2013 release is a given.

Felinox4394d ago

Next gen launch title please. I wanna see crazy amounts of on screen necromorphs with sweet lighting and shaders...

dirthurts4393d ago

I agree. I'll wait.
This gen is tapped out.
Dead Space is one of those games where graphics actually makes it better. Shadows, ambiance, character deformation, etc etc.

jbiz3204393d ago

not gonna happen silly. 2013 is gonna be a banner year for AAA video games and 2014 (when xbox and playstation will likely release) will more than likely be as dry of a year for video games as 2005 was.

VanillaBear4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

Please don't screw this game up and ruin the franchise like Capcom did with RE5

They just need to take the tacked on co-op out and maybe turn down the action a little bit.

I loved DS2 but it wasn't as scary as the ishimura in the first game. The bright lights from the outside/sprawls lights/shopping center neon signs and a open enviroment made it less scary in my opinion.

I hope they still have Ellie in the game, they need someone to keep Issac company on his missions, maybe they could let us play Ellie in some levels, and make the gameplay more challening like how she dosen't wear armor could make her more vunable adding a huge survival hoprror element to it. Hope she could get her eye fixed though, the eye patch was kind of distracting, it's set in the future, I'm sure a robotic eye would be available.

<Small Spoiler>

I think the return to the ishimura was the best level in DS2

wiggles4394d ago

I agree that DS2 wasn't as scary as the first, and I agree with your choice in level.

I wouldn't mind if they put in the co-op as an option only. I had fun blasting zombies with my buddy in RE5. But if I am playing alone, it should make me alone.

grifter0244394d ago

You want a survival horror game that is meant to scare you when you are playing have coop like RE5 which in your own words was "Fun."

Are you slow or do you now see how that would ruin the game like it did RE5?

wiggles4394d ago

@grifter did you not see the part where I said option only? I meant it could be turned on or off. Co-Op would be off when I am alone, and the option would be on to allow a buddy.

I am not playing RE5 Co-Op for the "survival horror" aspect, I am playing it just to mow down stuff with a friend.

Think of it as Dead Space: Extraction's Co-Op

Roccetarius4393d ago

The option to have fun or not with someone still doesn't excuse the impact it has on the game. If you want to ''mow down'' enemies, there are plenty of other games to do that with your friends.

Hopefully they're not catering to the co-op crowd with Dead Space.

VanillaBear4393d ago

Co-op should not be included in DS3

Even as an option they would still be wasting development time making it a co-op game

Lets not forget that even if you were playing single player the game would still be designed around co-op because of the "optional mode"

Optional or not.....it's a horriable idea for a great horro game like DS. Look what happened to RE5.

wiggles4393d ago

Did any of you play Dead space extraction's co-op? I am saying they should implement it like that. The Co-Op didn't take away anything from the single player game. However, if you had a friend over, they could play with you instead of watching you play it.

I agree that the single player aspect should always come first, but an option for co-op would not be a bad thing. Especially if it's couch co-op!

Great points. I hope EA doesnt force them to shoehorn in multiplayer again.

VanillaBear4393d ago

and whats wrong with that

I don't mean her following him around, just to talk to the odd time on his radio or switch between them as I even mentioned later on in my comment......

Take a look at the picture yourself ¬¬

chukamachine4394d ago

I think they should crash the ship you are on, onto an alien world. Then all the monsters come after you. Could be awesome.

Regardless i'll be getting it, loved the first two more then i enjoyed any resident evil tbh.

EA Hopes to Use Generative AI to Drive Monetization and Make Development 30% More Efficient

Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.

thorstein53d ago

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.

Cacabunga52d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo52d ago

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

just_looken53d 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.

GamerRN52d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199252d 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.

Stuart575653d ago

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.

ChasterMies52d 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.

DarXyde52d 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?

Barlos53d ago (Edited 53d 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.

CobraKai53d 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_looken53d 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.

Eonjay52d ago

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.

Chocoburger52d ago (Edited 52d 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!"

EA - Continuing to evolve our business and teams

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."

LG_Fox_Brazil60d ago

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

Is it possible maybe this whole ai thing is in play?

just_looken60d ago

Another long list that skips over UPS cutting 12,000 jobs those workers as we know work without ac low pay and old box trucks but that company had to cut 12k jobs do too loosing billions of dollars year 2 year.

https://edition.cnn.com/202...

The greed and lack of transparency/oversight is disgusting.

Ups are still making bang but not enough for a golden boat fleet.

Remember we all use ups at some time even stuff in our stores this is going to be a huge issue gong forward i know in my area they removed half the state ups stores northern half least population got some 3rd party running packages now from minivans.

Sonic188159d ago

When I explan this I get called a troll 🤔 like wtf

thorstein59d ago

@just_looken

UPS is a different story altogether.

They are paying the people doing the actual work/ earning the money more and eliminating management.

CrimsonWing6960d ago (Edited 60d ago )

You do realize around this time this happens all throughout many industries (not just the game industry), right? It has to do with taxes for these major companies, like tax subsidies for downsizing. You want to know a little secret? Around May or so you’ll see a spike in hiring…

It blows my mind that people are oblivious to corporate workings.

Andrew33660d ago

So over 25 huge companies cut jobs every year like this and it only got noticed this time?

CrimsonWing6960d ago (Edited 60d ago )

@Andrew336

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Google it up if you’re uninformed of how corporations work. Only gamers seem to live in a bubble and when they see things like crunch, acquisitions, and lay-offs they act like this is the only industry it happens to and how shocked they are about it.

Welcome to the real world, kid.

thorstein59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

EA CEO Wilson's total compensation was 20 million. Let's take away 19 million (I'm sure he can survive on 1 million.... somehow).

1 million is the salary of an in the chair developer @100,000 for 10 years.

He could earn 1 million a year.

And save the jobs of 15 in the chair devs for A DECADE (plus benefits) with ONE YEAR'S compensation.

RhinoGamer8860d ago

No Executive accountability or firings I see...

just_looken60d ago

Do not worry they will take over 40mill say sorry then get hired by playstation or xbox

blackblades59d ago

I heard Japan does it better, they do layoffs like what's happening with companies in the west. The higher ups also being agreeing to to lower there own salary. These MFs like jim and Phil isnt gonna do that they want that $

Sonic188160d ago

Like I said earlier, this is happening all around the gaming industry.

Petebloodyonion60d ago

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.

TheColbertinator60d ago

EA is certainly among the worst,if not the worst
