Gaming Blend "You know how you bought a game brand new because of the Online Passes and you didn't want to get gimped with a used copy? Well, it doesn't matter if you get it new or used, EA has set expiration dates for their Online Passes so after a period of time you can no longer access certain online features."
The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.
There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.
Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?
I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.
Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!
Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works
Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Best NFS in my personal opinion
Highstakes, Hotpursuit 2 and Underground, Mostwanted, The Run.
Rest of those titles are Junk,Crap, disappointing.
well, that blows and EA got no excuse 4 doing that.
Well that does suck, big hairy balls. Why go and do such a thing EA? oh wait...
However I do like some of their games, such as BF3.
EA = Activison, actually EA is worse now, COD didn't ship with an online pass.
Well this is kind of misleading. There is no mention of an hard expiration dates being set. Just that they can post of notice prior to things being removed. Im sure if people to a hard look at tall the user agreements we enter into online I'm sure will see the same type of thing with every company. But usually we just hit accept and move on. Companies have been doing this as long as online gaming has been done. If the amount of active online users falls to a point where it costs too much to support the game features or the game as a whole will be shut down. Nothing exactly new here, and EA is not the lone villain.
Well its good to see that the online pass is now combating the used market AND the new market. Maybe now gamestop will think twice before selling a new copy for five dollars cheaper.
