n October 2008, we were first introduced to the creatures known as the “Necromorphs”, and their mysterious source called, the “Marker”. After success of the first title, Visceral Games decided to bring the series to the Wii. Since Dead Space wouldn’t really work as a Wii title, they made on-rails shooter titled “Dead Space Extraction” following various characters over Issac Clarke from the first game. In addition to the new name, the game takes place prior to the first game and fills in some unknowns for the first game. With the release of Dead Space 2, PS3 gamers were given a copy of Extraction free if you purchased the game, or on the Playstation Network for $15.
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
Really sounds fun, I think ill pick it up.
I still have to play a Dead Space game...Should start with the first game before I play the others.
I enjoyed it using the PlayStation Move!
I bought extraction on the wii. It's a pretty good game, a bit short but still fun. I haven't played it on my ps3 yet, still playing DS2, I'll get to it eventually though.
I love the Dead Space universe, I wish EA would put more funding into the spinoffs, namely Downfall and Ignition, Downfall was pretty awful and Ignition, that game ****ing sucks ass, it's borderline unplayable. The animation is horrendous and the hacking games are god awful. Hopefully the new film and dlc will be good.
I bought Move just for Extraction and so far I'm really enjoying it. I'll play DS2 after I complete this.
