So there will now be a studio dedicated for all future BF games, spearheaded by DICE, supported by various other studios. Along with that, they are gonna have closed-door testing sessions for anyone interested, called BF labs.

Sounds good on the paper, except

1. Multi-studio projects that stretches across globe has rarely worked (see ME: Andromeda)
2. BF Labs is basically qa testing and feedbacks from playerbase. And EA has never listen to what players want. I don't see how this will be any different?
3. They have A LOT of work to get back the trust of everyone who has left the franchise. Me included

Not gonna lie, what a hard video to get through. I have nothing against these developers but if they're not actually talking about the game, then I have no interest in what they have to say.

Also the whole "Battlefield Studios" shit is hilarious when they wouldn't stop talking about how many studios were involved with 2042. Are we supposed to pretend more studios is still a good thing?

Sigh. Hate to be such a downer about one of my favorite franchises but I refuse to ever get excited about a Battlefield game again.

It sure sounds like Electronic Arts thinks cutting Dragon Age: The Veilguard's live service components was a mistake

CEO Andrew Wilson said Veilguard "had a high quality launch and was well-reviewed," but failed to "resonate" with gamers who want "shared-world features."

"In order to break beyond the core audience, games need to directly connect to the evolving demands of players who increasingly seek shared-world features and deeper engagement alongside high-quality narratives in this beloved category. Dragon Age had a high quality launch and was well-reviewed by critics and those who played; however, it did not resonate with a broad-enough audience in this highly competitive market."

It did well with critics because you publishers have the critics in your back pocket! What a fucking jackass.

If only they could've gotten three million critics to buy it.

That's from a quarterly financial call i.e. it's not meant for consumers, but for shareholders. So no, it's not delusional. Wilson is just telling them whatever puts them at ease.

So, you know, bullshit.

As I've said before (can't remember which thread), it's like these publisher big-wigs are in competition to see who can say the dumbest, most out-of-touch, corporate PR bullshit. And they always find ways to 1-up each other.

What's funny about the corpo speak to me is that they try to peddle it to us, the consumer. I understand to spit nonsense to share holders in meetings because their a bunch of out of touch cunts too, but to say that in a public facing video game article where people who see right through your bullshit will see it, that's just plain stupid aint it?

If I knew I could be a moron and still be a CEO, I wouldn't have wasted all that money in school.

So apparently the upcoming capcom fighter collection 2 has among other things Project Justice (rival schools 2 from the dreamcast) included. And it will have online with rollback too. I can't believe they actually remembered my favorite series of theirs. They haven't touched it since adding Akira to sf5.


It has some other cool stuff too like cvs2 and power stone 1-2 as well, I always wanted to play those. I never played power stone but I did watch the anime back in the day. Cool stuff.
