[Dave Baumann]

Mmmmm, seems that CryTek is shifting alliegencies and moving over to EA:

Oh no. This is not good.

 

[Ylandro]

Oh no. This is not good.

How so?

EA are evil commercialist demons, get ready for Far Cry 2 (should I say 2005) in a years time
where you will be running around the tropical island killing mercs and trojans again ...

[Nappe1]

EA is TOO big to care about the customers and what they want.

[digitalwanderer]

I dunno, with all the SM3.0 BS going on with CryTek I kind of think EA is a natural fit...

 

[Randell]

Trigen not Trojan

 

[Nite_Hawk]

Trigen not Trojan

No no, it's trojan who makes condoms, not trigen...

EA is a big, arrogant factory, nothing else.

It's bad news.

EA is a big, arrogant factory, nothing else.

It's bad news.

EA has a habit of signing close relationships with developers. Then EA buy the developers and fold them into their inhouse teams. The talented people leave to start their own development houses, and the shell of the original company becomes nothing but a marketing name while the EA in-house team churns out poor clones of the orginal best selling title year after year.

EA: Run by beancounters, for beancounters.

FC2 will be like FC then, new levels, new maps, 3 new weapons, 2 new gadgets, 5 new high-res textures and that's it

i can't see this being any worse than DiCE +EA sleaping together. bf vietnam turned out better than i expected (i honestly didn't expect much). perhaps EA will be using farcry tech in the next MOH title (the game after pacific assault). how could that be bad?

oh, umm.... to stay on topic...
EA are evil and kill puppies, boohoohoo

I expected Bf:V to be better than DC, which it's not.

Far Cry also looks much better and runs much better.

Bf:V is a big let down to most.

Considering how many sims addons they put out to milk The Sims . I believe there will be a Fartcry 2 out there in no time
