360 Magazine: Would you play Mass Effect online over Call Of Duty, Battlefield or Gears Of War?
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.
Some sort of ME3 horde mode could work in the context of Earth's battle against the Reapers, but that's about it. Actually, I'd play co-op too.
Yes. Simply because I love Mass Effect, am not too fussed about GOW or BF and I couldn't give a toss about COD.
Not gonna lie, it would be fun to see, for example, Shepard unloading rounds into Miranda and vice versa. Some proper RPG elements would be a welcome addition to the multiplayer side of things, but it should in no way hinder the campaign OR force players to play the game with someone because it'll make it better (looking at you, Resident Evil 5).
Not interested at all . And it better have its own separate trophies list and platinum , coz i aint playing that online
It could be fun for a short while like Uncharted but EA have got it into their heads that every game has to have mp. Dead Space 2 wasn't any better because of the tacked on mp.
A strong sp game like Mass Effect doesn't lose anything by not having mp.
