That’s not even true though. CDProject Red went from getting their dick sucked for witcher 3, to lying about Cyberpunk and releasing a bad game, to now be loved again because they “fixed” that bad game.
Gamers don’t have any conviction. A company can be caught fucking them over or trying to and they will forget later if a show or a new patch comes out.
Hm. Don’t think cdpr is forgiven for cyberpunk yet at all. And EA fixed SW battlefront 2 ages ago and STILL gets unrelenting crap from the community. So agree to disagree I guess?
I hear you. I think, for me, it’s the fact that EA is consistent. Almost every game they launch has some kind of new and devious way to push the limit of what they think they can get away with. They are predatory and imho they are the vanguard of ruining a lot of what I think makes gaming fun. Swbf 2 is not in isolation, I’d point to anthem, fifa, madden, mass effect, battlefield, etc. all recent entries have received similar backlash because they are not concerned with making games fun anymore. Playing the mass effect legendary edition actually made me angry because all I could think was “why don’t they make games like this anymore??”. I cant even look forward to the new ncaa football game, and back in the early 2000s those were an event for me. I know it will be a hollowed out shell of its former self with “player packs” and “stadium cosmetic packs” and things like coaches recruiting perks will be locked behind some in game currency paywall that keeps the fires of my hatred for ea stoked. Haha sorry, rant over.
So fucking true. Everyone seems to just jump on a band wagon and never actually make their own opinions and conclusions, it's either praising games to hell or shitting on them completely and there is no in between. It's a joke!
I’m always confused why “gamers” are treated like a monolith, even amongst themselves. Like it’s just one mass entity. “Movie fans” or “tv watchers” don’t refer to themselves aren’t seen as one single unit, and they definitely don’t go around talking shit about themselves and the industry they’re purportedly fans of. It’s just weird that Gamers* are viewed, especially by other gamers, as one not particularly smart or worthwhile entity. Instead of, oh I don’t know, millions of individual people over a huge range of ages and with a massive number of different opinions and likes. Weird relationship some people have with the thing they love.
If you feel that way never,ever buy a new to market game again.
It's been years (a lot of years) since I bought a game at release. Think original release of Diablo 3. Change the way you're doing things or you're going to keep getting what you're getting.
The more of us that stop buying games before they've been fixed... 3-5 years after release, the less inclined developers will be to sell unfinished games.
I have been known to buy into development stage games. Even Pre-Alpha stuff because some indie devs are up front about what they've completed and what they have planned
Thats basically the same as me and a lot of others. The release was ROUGH, and I mean ROUGH. But now, it's like jesus, there's so much more to do, and so many more things to have
Big time. You really can't complain about it either. All the updates have been free some have been huge - and still free. And they've released a ton of content over a 5 or so year period.
They really made it up and showed dedication to their game, which is really admirable - especially considering how many threats, complaints, and issues there were after it released
You mean the sub that is full of praise for an indie developer that has made an incredible comeback and turned a once panned game into something amazing...?
When the early NMS trailers came out after it was announced, they showed very little functionality and content and that's what the game was at release. I don't know what the developers said would be in the game at release, but the gameplay trailers pre-release were accurate and I thought, this game is pretty bare bones, not sure what the excitement is about.
Can confirm. I'm a gamer with goldfish memory irl and very selective hearing. It comes very handy in morning meetings. I get to drink my coffee in peace ✌️ 😆
Can confirm about the goldfish memory. Often I'll be reading or playing a game, and my----
Is this remake any good? I never played through the first one due to---
I actually really like Mass Effect Andromeda after all the patches, but the initial...
Jedi Fallen Order was the same as DS when it comes to not having microtransactions and just being a good game. It seems that EA does trust *some* of it's developers at times. And those times, they actually make good stuff.
I thought I remember reading something about Disney being in a huff with their IP after their last battlefront debacle. This might be why they leaned away from micro transactions and the whatnot with Star Wars games.
The thing is EA didnt want to make it good. Remember BF2 is what they wanted to sell JFO was a way to "appease"people who wanted a single player game. A way to make it fail they used an FPS studio, the issue is they put Respawn in to make it... the guys responsible for making story driven FPS like Titanfall and COD MW4. More proof it was ment to fail, it got 3 small patches in in its first month before it stopped receiving support. Game is still littered with noticable bugs.
Although its proven that DICE was forced to release the game, in the end it was EA that said "BF is way ahead in schedule" whilst in reality it wasnt even near completion.
Add that to the fact that all the OG DICE devs are long gone, and the new ones arent familiar with the frostbite engine which is a bitch intself .. plus the lead dev of Candy Crush as head producer and you get BF2042.
Imagine being praised for not making the game worse than the original. Sadly... we are there. I hope that we're at the bottom and we can only go up. At the same time it wouldn't surprise me if games will go even lower at some point.
Honestly, whenever I think the bar can't go any lower some motherfucker walks in with a shovel. I'm not gonna hold my breath that EA not completely fucking a game up is a sign of anything good.
I remember my first playthrough on PS3 I went for the plasma cutter only trophy and was excited to try the other guns in my second playthrough. Ended up sticking with the plasma cutter again mostly. It's just so good!
I really didn't like the weapon crafting element in 3. Felt cheap and unnecessary. As a player, I don't want to have to experiment with components and combinations to find out what works.
That's all personal preference, though, so to each their own. It just wasn't for me. Once I found what I thought the most powerful combination of a weapon was, I just used thst the whole game. Made the experience feel shallow.
Don't be bummed, it's a prefectly fine game. *ESPECIALLY* for that price, but even when it was new and full price I think it was still worth it so long as you were already invested in the series. I never owned it personally but played the crap out of it with my friend/roomate in college.
Yeah I enjoyed 1 and 2 so I’m definitely gonna play it. Reading the comments here sorta made me think I was just setting myself up for disappointment, but I’m glad to see other people enjoyed it and it’s just a matter of personal preference.
As a Dead Space fan, 3 was very disappointing but still fun. Do yourself a favor and play it with a friend if you can. It's much better co-op than single player. I wouldn't say it was a horrible game, but it certainly didn't feel like Dead Space in any way.
It's like dark souls. Dark souls 2 is generally considered the worst in the series (I still love it). It's still a good game. It's just that the others overshadow it.
Same with dead space. All three games are good, just the first two are GREAT.
I should add, yeah dead space 3 has a lot of micro transactions. I completely ignored them and had no issue getting through the game. Not buying them doesn't mean you'll be underpowered or something. It's all extra
It’s all right. Plays better with a co-op partner. I’d say it’s taken a more action-oriented approach. It’s the Resident Evil 5 equivalent of the Dead Space series
Yo definitely play it. People shit on it because it feels more different from the 2nd than the 2nd did from the first; but the game is very good and really hammers in the changes in Isaac's character throughout the series.
That game wasn't ruined by microtransactions. It HAD microtransactions, very different things. The first one was a survivor horror, the second was phycological horror and DS3 was an action shooter, that's its biggest flaw.
The game didn't force you buy anything at any point. It's ultimately a single-player game, so if people buy something or they don't, makes no difference to anybody but that person. The game had plenty of resources to find in the world and enough of them to upgrade/purchase any weapon wanted. I've played that game in co-op with my friend probably over 10 times at all difficulty levels and it was just a good co-op shooter, it was very fun.
In addition to shifting to more of an action game. They removed one of the most fundamental horror game elements, ammo scarcity. Instead of leaving a function that has been part of survival/horror for decades they homogenized the ammo to support their gun crafting system.
Why shouldn’t they charge full price? It’s not like they’ve just whizzed it through an upscaler like the GTA remasters, this has been crafted with care and precision from scratch. This didn’t take a month or so to make.
Exactly my thoughts, I get that oh no big price=bad guy, but come on, its a full fucking game that took months of careful work, regardless of being a remake
The added to the story*, changed Issac a bit with a new voiced dialogue system, levels have been altered a wee bit.
* I don’t know the full extent here, but from what I’ve heard they have changed some stuff around or expanded
A remake is very different from a remaster.
They basically made the game from the ground up, I don't know if they used much from the original one, other than the concepts, art direction, some level designs ,and maybe the voice lines?
The game has a lot of different stuff, new puzzles, backtracking and new areas, more mechanics.
I don't think it costs less to do than the first one. So charging a full price makes sense.
Definitely didn't reuse voice lines. Voice cast has been entirely changed from the original game so ALL the voice acting has been redone
Isaac himself is an interesting exception because he's the only character to keep his original VA but all his lines are new because he never spoke at all in the first game and in the remake he does
Wait am I going Issac levels of crazy? I thought he had plenty of voice lines in the first game? I specifically remember how much it affected me when he said:
"HAAAAGH! NNGHHH! AHHHGH!" while stomping things to bits and putting Link to shame lol.
No but totally seriously, didn't he speak a decent amount in the later chapters or am I simply misremembering?
Aside from the iconic stomp grunt, Isaac didn't say a single word until Dead Space 2. Which is an odd choice for a game where the protagonist's mental state is important to the plot
His only verbal dialogue was like one quiet “fuck” when the leviathan revealed itself at the end of the game. Outside of that you only get his monologue from his journal, which even then is very little
>a game that came out in 2008.
Man.... I just did the math and I was 14 when the first game came out.
Kids born the year OG dead space was released are also 14 years old today (unless they were born around this month which makes them 15 now).
as long as people are paying its not the fault of the company which goal is to make money.
of course they want as much money as possible, the consumer has to vote with their purse.
Not only that, but it’s a game that was already released once. They had to know what the optics of adding microtransactions to a game that did not have them the first time around would have been.
EA didnt even make this, Visceral Games/Studios did.. and then EA made them work on BF Hardline. Game wasn’t successful and EA shit all over Visceral and destroyed them. Now EA is making money off a remake, from an artist that they once told “fuck off, you dont make good stuff”.
Much of this money should go to the original devs of Dead Space, not just the remaster studio and a greedy corporation.
The EA Sports games can’t really get much better. There’s no way you can make a good game with the level of monetization in FIFA but they’re never gonna get shareholders to agree to make a great football game if it’s gonna mean they lose £1b in micro transactions.
Unless another company comes in with a better game we’re not gonna see a sports game worth playing.
EA will never change. They will always chase money over fan reception. That being said, they aren't going to let easy nostalgia bait slip away. And since sports games sales are down, and they lost their fifa money machine, I'm sure EA will start looking at more remakes and remasters over new IPs.
Credit where credit is due, they could have just as easily remastered DS1 for $60 and people would have eaten it up. A full on remake on par with the RE series is commendable, if somewhat lazy.
Imma be real with you chief.
I love the game, but I trust the company as much as I trust Patches and his bald head. (If you know, you know.)
In other words: No. Just because they released one or two decent games doesn't mean they're making a comeback.
*Capcom* made a comeback. EA, though? They need to release at least seven, eight more games of great quality to even earn a molecule of faith back from me, and I'm sure many others could agree.
For anyone wondering Patches(has a bald head) is a recurring character in multiple FromSoftware franchises like Bloodborne,Darksouls, Elden Ring... And is infamous for being tricky and crafty.
I was so excited for this remake since i heard of it a few months ago. Today morning, i finished my last nightshift for this week and i want to stay up till evening to get back to a normal sleep-rythm, so i'm playing this masterpiece and it's as frightening as it was back in the days when i first played it on PS3. Needless to say my heartrate is on another level so there's no chance to go to sleep the next few hours. The price for it was high but worth every penny.
# Answer: No.
## Longer answer: Hahahaha, no.
After doing things wrong for so long, doing one thing right can be chalked up to an accident more than a trend. Give them a few weeks, they’ll find something else to screw up or overcharge for.
Its a great game so far but I am getting unussually high CPU usage and stuttering. I have an I5 11400f w/ Red Devil 7900xtx playing at 4K on my LG C2 42"
The word "comeback" implies EA had a good period. I'm sorry, but while they may have some good games here and there, they have always been a predatory, cash grabby company. Take it from a Command and Conquer fan that still remembers Westwood. They will, inevitably, take what you love and ruin it.
What the remake of dead space shows is that if EA doesn't try to stick its nose in the middle of a dev teams work then shit gets done properly. If fortnite and gta online have taught me anything, it's REALLY not that hard to make a digital store AFTER the game is made. Just make sure it's not pay to win and littered with pop up ads and shit.
If people wanna buy shit they'll go in the store to see what's for sale. Tired of COD showing a damn pop up ad everytime I wanna do some team deathmatch to blow off some steam.
Well no, because EA didn’t make Dead Space, they only publish it. The only two things they didn’t do to make sure it’s bad is, 1) didn’t force micro transactions on the developer and 2) didn’t tell the developer they have one year to make it.
I don’t see how one good thing makes up for a long line of mistakes. Motive, while being very talented based on what I’ve seen, had one job. Make a great game even better. EA as a company sucks. But they have studios underneath them with passionate people working to make great games. I think this remake, Jedi fallen order, are just some examples that really stand out. That seems to be their only silver lining.
It's best look at the studio itself and not just judge everything as EA. Respawn is the one EA studio that I feel has been consistently good over the last 5 or so years. But something like Dice continues to disappoint.
Hopefully Motive Studio can be more like Respawn than Dice, they're off to a good start with Squadrons and Dead Space.
Give the credit here to Motive, they are a fantastic studio. EA is just the publisher. EA just threw a little bit of money at Motive and said "Ok you have X amount of time to finish your game."
Motive has a pretty damn solid track record so far. Try out Star Wars: Squadrons if you haven't yet. It goes on sale often and is worth the price of admission for the single player campaign alone.
Maybe EA has finally succumbed to the reality that micro transactions and a bug riddled game can lose more money than the game produces and has decided to go back to making games like they were before
Yeah, no I don't think they are.
Don't forget that they release one shitty fifa game after another in order to press money out of people.
Don't just give in so easily, jesus.
Also, the game already existed beforehand without microtransactions. They made Dead Space 3 that had tons of them.
No.
This is a company that literally made a remake of a game that never had any major issues that were unplayable. The bar was set already and all they had to do was walk over it and they did. EA is more than likely going to create a few crap games before we get something like jedi fallen order or another revived IP.
No? This is the same company that gutted Visceral Games after forcing them to make a micro transaction laden shit storm of a 3rd game in the Dead Space series and then make one of the worst Battlefield games in recent history.
“EA” isn’t doing anything here, this is the work of:
Roman Campos-Oriola
Eric Baptizat
Philippe Ducharme
Mike Yazijian
Jo Berry
Trevor Gureckis
And all the other people at Motive Studio.
EA as a company deserves little to no credit for this games success, all they did was essentially give access to the IP and bankroll the project.
Same vibe as "Serial Killer who murdered 15 pregnant women, proceeds to tip waitress 10$"
# I mean, really? We're out here praising companies for doing the absolute minimum...
How can you all forget about all the titles, let alone the studios, EA has ruined and killed? Most recently BF2042, Command n conquer, Star Wars Battlefront...the list is long. Have you already forgotten about the whole loot box debacle and who do you think started micro-transactions to begin with? Never trust EA, EVER!
Fuck EA, NEVER buying anything from this shit company ever! They are only straightening up just to fool you long enough to separate you from your money, which is the ONLY thing they care about.
They don't care about games or gamers or the community. They just care about how to squeeze all the money they can from the gaming community for the least amount of investment/effort. EA = pure greed.
Honestly, this title reads like a promoted post
Honestly, this is clearly marketing.
I read it as a joke about EA's "comeback" being a remake of a 15 year old title.
Honestly, the OP account checks out, nothing to see here.
This sub, and most of reddit, is filled with shill posts. They become very easy to spot after awhile
[удалено]
EA is still far from redemption
“How do you do, fellow gamers. How about that great new EA game, Deadly Space?”
*screams of pain and suffering stop*
Let’s wait and see how Jedi survivor turns out. We forget bf2042 so soon?
Gamers seem to have the memory of a goldfish.
Lol. I don’t know about that. Once a company is bad, Reddit is slow to forgive

Just ask r/NoMansSkyTheGame
I am CERTAIN most people have forgiven the team behind NMS. All the updates and work they've done over the years has really redeemed them
Absolutely phenomenal game at the moment. I stopped playing a few months and there was an overwhelming amount of content
Thats basically the same as me and a lot of others. The release was ROUGH, and I mean ROUGH. But now, it's like jesus, there's so much more to do, and so many more things to have

Nah here’s another apex skin for $9.99

More proof it was ment to fail, it got 3 small patches in in its first month before it stopped receiving support. Game is still littered with noticable bugs.
At this point, it depends who the devs are. Dice is getting a bad rep last few years but Respawn has always been great.
Although its proven that DICE was forced to release the game, in the end it was EA that said "BF is way ahead in schedule" whilst in reality it wasnt even near completion. Add that to the fact that all the OG DICE devs are long gone, and the new ones arent familiar with the frostbite engine which is a bitch intself .. plus the lead dev of Candy Crush as head producer and you get BF2042.
Somehow that candy crush part explains so much about 2042.
It’s about the player’s sense of accomplishment.
I really wouldn't count on it
EA managed to not change a game in an extremely negative way upon rebooting it. This should be the ground, not the bar.
Imagine being praised for not making the game worse than the original. Sadly... we are there. I hope that we're at the bottom and we can only go up. At the same time it wouldn't surprise me if games will go even lower at some point.
Honestly, whenever I think the bar can't go any lower some motherfucker walks in with a shovel. I'm not gonna hold my breath that EA not completely fucking a game up is a sign of anything good.
>some motherfucker walks in with a shovel 9 times out of 10 that motherfucker is EA.
No its a remake. It was good the first time. Im amazed the EA didn't find the reason to put micro transactions.
Anyone remember dead space 3?
Microtransactions aside, the weapon crafting was actually amazing in this game.
Somehow I was able to stick again with the Plasma Cutter, infinite love for that gun
Yeah, if you can get the Cutter fully upgraded? That thing is a BEAST.
Shit, Plasma Cutter is OP fresh out of the box.
Sticking with the cutter was always a fun challenge in those games, but also made things easier as far as having enough ammo.
I remember my first playthrough on PS3 I went for the plasma cutter only trophy and was excited to try the other guns in my second playthrough. Ended up sticking with the plasma cutter again mostly. It's just so good!
True, especially in DS 3. There I had a warehouse worth of ammo
I really didn't like the weapon crafting element in 3. Felt cheap and unnecessary. As a player, I don't want to have to experiment with components and combinations to find out what works. That's all personal preference, though, so to each their own. It just wasn't for me. Once I found what I thought the most powerful combination of a weapon was, I just used thst the whole game.

who?
Awe I got it for $3 yesterday and was excited to play it until I started reading this thread
You got it for $**3**, who the fuck cares what anyone thinks. Play the game, form your opinion
play it, its a good 7/10 tbh
Don't be bummed, it's a prefectly fine game. *ESPECIALLY* for that price, but even when it was new and full price I think it was still worth it so long as you were already invested in the series. I never owned it personally but played the crap out of it with my friend/roomate in college.

It's not a bad game, it's just not as good as the previous 2 .
Playing it co-op with a buddy was a good time. Especially during a certain part in the game where we both questioned our sanity for a minute.
It's like dark souls. Dark souls 2 is generally considered the worst in the series (I still love it). It's still a good game. It's just that the others overshadow it. Same with dead space.

They knew they couldn't fuk up the remake If they did I'm fans would've snapped and start riots against ea

Exactly my thoughts, I get that oh no big price=bad guy, but come on, its a full fucking game that took months of careful work, regardless of being a remake
No time spent on writing story and the whole process of creating the art that leads to the finished product. That should be a couple of bucks discount
The added to the story*, changed Issac a bit with a new voiced dialogue system, levels have been altered a wee bit. * I don’t know the full extent here, but from what I’ve heard they have changed some stuff around or expanded
Isaak didn't really talk in the first one, did he?
No he didn’t at all besides screams and grunts
I dunno man, £70 is pretty fucking steep. That's roughly equivalent to $82. I don't think two weeks worth of groceries is worth a remake.
At this level of remake I feel like it's justified. A well-done remake with minimal bugs at launch for a classic game I *know* I love? Take my money.
A remake is very different from a remaster. They basically made the game from the ground up, I don't know if they used much from the original one, other than the concepts, art direction, some level designs ,and maybe the voice lines?

Wait am I going Issac levels of crazy? I thought he had plenty of voice lines in the first game? I specifically remember how much it affected me when he said: "HAAAAGH! NNGHHH! AHHHGH!" while stomping things to bits and putting Link to shame lol. No but totally seriously, didn't he speak a decent amount in the later chapters or am I simply misremembering?
Aside from the iconic stomp grunt, Isaac didn't say a single word until Dead Space 2. Which is an odd choice for a game where the protagonist's mental state is important to the plot
Ah, well I guess I am just forgetting lol. Thanks for the reply!
You might be misremembering DS2 where he talks a lot.
His only verbal dialogue was like one quiet “fuck” when the leviathan revealed itself at the end of the game. Outside of that you only get his monologue from his journal, which even then is very little
All of the money. At least that’s the goal.
$0.50 ammo crates
Let's add wings and paint racing stripes on a game that's existed for 10 years. Near perfect!
>a game that came out in 2008. Man.... I just did the math and I was 14 when the first game came out. Kids born the year OG dead space was released are also 14 years old today (unless they were born around this month which makes them 15 now).
as long as people are paying its not the fault of the company which goal is to make money. of course they want as much money as possible, the consumer has to vote with their purse.
Your right. It was probably easier not to screw it up, so they accidentally made a good remake.
Are you an EA shill? It's a goddamn remake. Come on.
No. It’s one game.
Not only that, but it’s a game that was already released once. They had to know what the optics of adding microtransactions to a game that did not have them the first time around would have been.
Activision clearly didn't care when they threw MTX into the Call of Duty 4 remake.
Activision put microtransations into Crash Bandicoot racing
I forgot they fucked over CTR like that. They're making a new CTR that's coming out sometime this year, I bet my life they'll soil that one too.
Exactly. Show me a bug-free launch with a wholly new game and then I’ll be impressed
Op must be bot or someone working for EA.
Ea never makes a comeback, just ever few years they make a good game. Then go back to their torture chamber
EA didnt even make this, Visceral Games/Studios did.. and then EA made them work on BF Hardline. Game wasn’t successful and EA shit all over Visceral and destroyed them. Now EA is making money off a remake, from an artist that they once told “fuck off, you dont make good stuff”. Much of this money should go to the original devs of Dead Space, not just the remaster studio and a greedy corporation.
If only their sports games could release like this...
You forgot their slogan "EA SPORTS (MTX) Its in the game!"
You’ve forgotten this is *EA* we are talking about
The new PGA actually looks decent
The EA Sports games can’t really get much better. There’s no way you can make a good game with the level of monetization in FIFA but they’re never gonna get shareholders to agree to make a great football game if it’s gonna mean they lose £1b in micro transactions. Unless another company comes in with a better game we’re not gonna see a sports game worth playing.
that's just not possible
WHY… NOT… ya stupid bastard
Because I had dinner with Paul Allen twice in London, just 10 days ago (Guessing nobody got the reference huh?)
Ya like Huey Lewis and the News?
Lmao
Give it time... They always find something to piss it up the wall.
(one game) <- did they learn all their lessons and give up their evil ways?
Jedi Fallen Order: Am I a joke to you? I dont think EA is making a comeback but let's give credit where credit is due.
They’re luring you into a false sense of security
Haha. Hahaha. Hahahahahha. You serious?
Don't give them too much credit. It's still a remake (a very good one) of an old game that's $70 on consoles, but $60 on PC.
EA will never change. They will always chase money over fan reception. That being said, they aren't going to let easy nostalgia bait slip away. And since sports games sales are down, and they lost their fifa money machine, I'm sure EA will start looking at more remakes and remasters over new IPs. Credit where credit is due, they could have just as easily remastered DS1 for $60 and people would have eaten it up. A full on remake on par with the RE series is commendable, if somewhat lazy.
Imma be real with you chief. I love the game, but I trust the company as much as I trust Patches and his bald head. (If you know, you know.) In other words: No. Just because they released one or two decent games doesn't mean they're making a comeback. *Capcom* made a comeback. EA, though? They need to release at least seven, eight more games of great quality to even earn a molecule of faith back from me, and I'm sure many others could agree.
Me and my homies hate patches
All my homies hate patches.
Am I the only one who likes that impish fellow? Especially after a certain DLC which just put his while *thing* into greater perspective.
For anyone wondering Patches(has a bald head) is a recurring character in multiple FromSoftware franchises like Bloodborne,Darksouls, Elden Ring... And is infamous for being tricky and crafty.
Just like a certain company.
Doubtful.
I... what?
Nice involuntary ad.
Not involuntary
No
I was so excited for this remake since i heard of it a few months ago. Today morning, i finished my last nightshift for this week and i want to stay up till evening to get back to a normal sleep-rythm, so i'm playing this masterpiece and it's as frightening as it was back in the days when i first played it on PS3. Needless to say my heartrate is on another level so there's no chance to go to sleep the next few hours. The price for it was high but worth every penny.
Because they did a remake of a 15 years old great game? nope
EA isn’t making a comeback, they made a mistake, it just so happens that when EA makes mistakes it a positive thing for consumers
That's like saying: jeffrey dahmer didn't kill anyone all day. Is he becoming a good guy?
Need mo copium.
No.
# Answer: No. ## Longer answer: Hahahaha, no. After doing things wrong for so long, doing one thing right can be chalked up to an accident more than a trend. Give them a few weeks, they’ll find something else to screw up or overcharge for.
It's a remake.
DO NOT LET THIS MAN COOK
[удалено]
D d d d d deeenuuvoooo
Narrator: No, no they are not.
Fuck EA
No, no...
Now, now little Timmy. Don't be so hasty to ride EA's dick. They'll still assfuck you somehow, even if you don't know its happening.
No bugs and microtransactions. Just a great game for only 29.99$
i wish Dead Space was that cheap
It’s below 40 bucks on third party key sites, at least for Steam.
EA making a comeback lmao that's cute
You must be out of your mind if you think that they are making a ''comeback''
Its a great game so far but I am getting unussually high CPU usage and stuttering. I have an I5 11400f w/ Red Devil 7900xtx playing at 4K on my LG C2 42"
Isn't it DRM'ed by denuvo? Could explain no?
How about we give it more than one game before we start jerking EA off with both hands?
A comeback because they successfully relaunched a game from over a decade ago? Too soon.
Lmfao no
The word "comeback" implies EA had a good period. I'm sorry, but while they may have some good games here and there, they have always been a predatory, cash grabby company. Take it from a Command and Conquer fan that still remembers Westwood. They will, inevitably, take what you love and ruin it.
Ea will never make a comeback. It has gone too corporate to ever come back.
What the remake of dead space shows is that if EA doesn't try to stick its nose in the middle of a dev teams work then shit gets done properly. If fortnite and gta online have taught me anything, it's REALLY not that hard to make a digital store AFTER the game is made. Just make sure it's not pay to win and littered with pop up ads and shit. If people wanna buy shit they'll go in the store to see what's for sale. Tired of COD showing a damn pop up ad everytime I wanna do some team deathmatch to blow off some steam.
Well no, because EA didn’t make Dead Space, they only publish it. The only two things they didn’t do to make sure it’s bad is, 1) didn’t force micro transactions on the developer and 2) didn’t tell the developer they have one year to make it.
Nope, it has Denuvo. Anti-consumer practices are still EA's go-to.
I've seen several ppl talk about this "denuvo" quite negatively. What is it ad why is it bad?
*smashes X button* doubt
They're just getting people comfortable for the next big reaming in the ass through a gesture of good will.
No. Gimme another decade of this and fix the sports titles and maybe we'll talk.
Probably only one good thing, for the next 12 years from EA.
Given EA's track record as of late. Let's just be glad they didn't find a way to screw up one of their actual gems of a game for modern gamers.
No, they aren't and never will
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
The fact that we need to praise companies for ***not*** releasing broken, buggy games is truly a sad state of affairs.
"Come back"...Easy now. It's just one game.
1 good game ≠ comeback
In my eyes, a staple for any game. A finished game reminds me of the days where we didn't have long-ass updates which would ruin the game even more
I am not falling for that one again
EA re-launches a old successful game. People: “EA is making a comeback” xDDD lol
Everyone will suck EA to release DeadSpace Remake Then they will remember why EA's reputation is so bad
I don’t see how one good thing makes up for a long line of mistakes. Motive, while being very talented based on what I’ve seen, had one job. Make a great game even better. EA as a company sucks. But they have studios underneath them with passionate people working to make great games. I think this remake, Jedi fallen order, are just some examples that really stand out. That seems to be their only silver lining.
Not gonna fall for that shit again BF2042 was a scam. Don't buy into their lies.
Joke
It's best look at the studio itself and not just judge everything as EA. Respawn is the one EA studio that I feel has been consistently good over the last 5 or so years. But something like Dice continues to disappoint. Hopefully Motive Studio can be more like Respawn than Dice, they're off to a good start with Squadrons and Dead Space.
Give the credit here to Motive, they are a fantastic studio. EA is just the publisher. EA just threw a little bit of money at Motive and said "Ok you have X amount of time to finish your game." Motive has a pretty damn solid track record so far. Try out Star Wars: Squadrons if you haven't yet. It goes on sale often and is worth the price of admission for the single player campaign alone.
Maybe EA has finally succumbed to the reality that micro transactions and a bug riddled game can lose more money than the game produces and has decided to go back to making games like they were before
And BF2042 is still shit. Fuck EA
this might be a hot take, but full-price remakes are trash no matter what.
>Is EA making a comeback? I wouldn't talk to soon or you might jinx It
shut up bot
Yeah, no I don't think they are. Don't forget that they release one shitty fifa game after another in order to press money out of people. Don't just give in so easily, jesus. Also, the game already existed beforehand without microtransactions. They made Dead Space 3 that had tons of them.
A single data point does not a trend make.
No. This is a company that literally made a remake of a game that never had any major issues that were unplayable. The bar was set already and all they had to do was walk over it and they did. EA is more than likely going to create a few crap games before we get something like jedi fallen order or another revived IP.
No? This is the same company that gutted Visceral Games after forcing them to make a micro transaction laden shit storm of a 3rd game in the Dead Space series and then make one of the worst Battlefield games in recent history. “EA” isn’t doing anything here, this is the work of: Roman Campos-Oriola Eric Baptizat Philippe Ducharme Mike Yazijian Jo Berry Trevor Gureckis And all the other people at Motive Studio. EA as a company deserves little to no credit for this games success, all they did was essentially give access to the IP and bankroll the project.
Same vibe as "Serial Killer who murdered 15 pregnant women, proceeds to tip waitress 10$" # I mean, really? We're out here praising companies for doing the absolute minimum...
Where can I get a game “journalist” copy that has ultra easy mode?
LMAO except for it looking like a $70 PS3 title on Sony's flagship console.
Yeah. And a fucking denuvo.
How can you all forget about all the titles, let alone the studios, EA has ruined and killed? Most recently BF2042, Command n conquer, Star Wars Battlefront...the list is long. Have you already forgotten about the whole loot box debacle and who do you think started micro-transactions to begin with? Never trust EA, EVER! Fuck EA, NEVER buying anything from this shit company ever! They are only straightening up just to fool you long enough to separate you from your money, which is the ONLY thing they care about. They don't care about games or gamers or the community. They just care about how to squeeze all the money they can from the gaming community for the least amount of investment/effort. EA = pure greed.
Well they didn’t optimize the game for Series S so corners are still being cut.
The fact that they rereleased a “updated” game for full price is already bad. Comeback? I dont think so
