An indepth and somewhat controversial interview with game industry veteran American McGee. American speaks about how the current generation needs real change, and poses the question - is the creativity of developers behind many of the latest releases being stifled by constraints of the industry, including limitations of hardware, monetization methods, distribution channels, interface (controls, screens) and more?
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.
EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.
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.
I hope there is a chapter in that book about how to be ripped off by Tim Burton.
Alice: Madness Returns is one of the best games this year in my opinion despite harsh reviews. I really hope there will be a sequel.
I thought games were being stifled by developers who make incredibly repetive platformers based on old fairy tales.
is this guy talking about consoles? cuz as far as i know the PC doesn't have a game that's at the level of uncharted2 and seems like the same with 3 and gears of war 3, if he thinks that the consoles are holding him back then he should take hes game to the PC fan base i'm sure they'll love it, oh wait the profits wont be as good will it and there's a chance that it'll flop. moron a bet at the end of the day hell drool over the check that he gets from hes company just cuz of the profits he gets from the console market.
move to pc, gamers will follow. Only problem is so many dummies dont get anything about pc specs.
