So, how do you like working at EA?
@Asplundh,Victor isn't wrong, though.
5 million *is* a great number. But it took awhile to get there...And it was on PS4,XB1,PS5,XBX,PC and Switch. Movies and music will often gauge the commercial success of their respective products by "first week" sales and usually the first two weeks of a theatrical run. Shawshank Redemption, widely considered one of the best movies of all time earned only 16 million during it's theatrical run, against a 25 million dollar budget...
1:02 Damn, They got fans voicing the characters, eh?
I can honestly imagine you hammering away that last "n" of his name on your keyboard and laughing hysterically to yourself.
Grow up.
Good news: you can!
ah yes! classic micro machines! so good.
I agree with you on the Twisted Metal tv series. Had an absolute blast with the show!
did you really say that this game looks...unique?
Burnout, San Francisco: RUSH, Extreme-G, Split Second, Full Auto, Hydro Thunder/Wave Race, BLUR, Modnation: Racers, Motorstorm, FUEL NFS: Underground 1 and 2, Midnight Club 3: DUB edition....
There was a time when the term "racing" was just the concept of getting to a finish line, and didn't automatically mean it HAD to be a rally/track game.
Diddy Kong Racing had flying sections, Hydro Thunder was water racing, BLUR and Full Auto had weap...
Normally, I'd be inclined to agree with you, but there are massive caveats.
TV shows like Venture Bros, Ren and Stimpy, and Aqua Team wouldn't/couldn't be made today. Hell, Ren and Stimpy was a *children's* show, same thing with Rocko's Modern Life.
It's not for some arbitrary reason, either. It's branding and IP alignment. Companies are far more risk-averse than they were when I was kid in the 90's. Of course, you have companies c...
I can almost feel their utter contempt for their own customers. I assume that their catering to the lowest common denominator, and when that ceases to net them sales, they adjust their strategy to be *slightly* more palatable.

I don't think it's all that clickbaity, or if it is, it's rather mild. A clickbait headline would be more like "Playstation = DOOMED *shocked emoji*"
I think the gaming industry as a whole is in such a strange place right now. Sony seems to be doing better than Microsoft right now, and Nintendo is absolutely coasting along under the radar.
This generation has been an absolute wash for me, or perhaps I...
The only thing that I can think for the logic of releasing a "combat trailer" is to perhaps improve a criticism of the PS2 original. Combat was not that great. I hold SH2 in my personal top 10 games, but there are areas that could be fixed up.
Unfortunately....It doesn't look like Bloober has improved the combat either? like, it's not a step forward or a step back, but a super awkward step to one side.
But who knows. Silent Hill deserves some da...
I mean...Are they wrong, though?
I've played a bunch of Bloober games: Layers of Fear 1 and 2, Observer, The Medium and Blair Witch.
Observer is probably my favorite of their games, but everything else is shockingly average if not mediocre. The first Layers of Fear had immense potential to be something special. It had that PT vibe, but unfortunately, was seemingly written by the same type of moody middle-schooler who presses far too hard on their paper to write...
I know studios can outsource visuals and what-not and writer's rooms have been a thing in movies/tv for ages, but I never knew there were game-centric 3rd party studios that provide narrative/writing services for other clients. Interesting.
seriously! But then again, I can't believe people pre-ordered this game (to get early access) only to be shocked that there are problems. Early previews everywhere made this out to be incredibly rough around the edges.
perhaps one of the worst takes I've seen on this site.
Have you played Escape from Butcher Bay? the director of this game directed that game. That was a pitch-perfect blend of (primarily) first person with occasional third person sections for climbing and what-not.
All this video does it make me want a new Wipeout.
Bring back the "wacky" types of racing games -- Split/Second, BLUR, Full Auto, Extreme-G.
Hell, imagine what a Hydro Thunder game would look like with how good we've gotten with water simulation.
They almost make EA look better by comparison. Almost.
ah yes, the classic "too big to fail" mentality. That served us well in the past.
This article is not all doom and gloom.
I highly suggest you read it before posting a comment here based on the headline alone.
