Now whenever I play Dead Space, I'll just feel sad. The franchise was left on a cliffhanger and now if we do see a fourth entry, you know EA will find a way to shoehorn loot boxes into it somehow.
Let us remember the fallen: Visceral. Maxis. Mythic. Bullfrog. Origin. Westwood. Phenomic. Black Box. Pandemic. Playfish. NuFX. Dreamworks Interactive. And, as far as I'm concerned, Bioware. EA should be arrested for serial murder.
Man this is a sad Day, the Dead Space franchise was one of the only EA titles I was a dedicated player on :( EA Destroyed Westwood, Maxis now Visceral :(
I remember the Lord of the Rings games. If you had to force me to choose between the Two Towers game and Return of the King, I'd pick Return of the King, because of more freedom between what character you choose, and there's a hidden co-op option. But I freaking LOVED the Third Age game. Have you ever played that one? Lord of the Rings meets Final Fantasy, where can you go wrong with that!?
Surprised it wasn’t Bioware, with the quality of their most recent games as well as the the fact that the company is hemorrhaging important people like writers and directors.
Current list of EA's victims: Origin Systems* Westwood Studios Pandemic Studios Maxis Black Box Free Radical Bullfrog Visceral Games Criterion Games (still around but now a husk) BioWare (same situation as Criterion) among many more in the future...
Anthony Mercado dead space 3 was good, but the people making it had to undo so much cause of EA, Shadow Issac being your partner, both seeing different things, the weapon mods were originally bigger until early forced them to scrap it for micro transaction Undoing months of work thanks to EA. Shadow Issac was the co-op, but EA didn't think demintia would sale... With a horror Game... With dead-fuckin-space
All of them are amazing but Idk y ppl didnt like 3 okay less horror more action but its perfect and complement of Isaac Clarke story. Favorite DS2 💙 Best game ever !
I'm not exactly sure, but aren't they absorbing all the people into other projects? Instead of just dropping the whole studio, they're absorbing them like The Blob. Imagine Kojima being bound by contract to work on pachinko machines for the next ten years instead of being free to do whatever. I'm pretty certain that EA's MO is to do whatever it takes to prevent people from doing their own thing.
Did you know that EA once loved their developers so much, they paid them well, and were the first to feature software designers in a video game advertisement? From "We see farther," to "We run pockets." Money does funny things to people.
Not so much funny as TERRIBLE. Money does terrible things to people who in turn do even more terrible things to people, for money... Full circle. Also, *FUCK EA!*
AlphaOmegaSin these are the same fuckers of have all the sports games under a monopoly since their competitors were nominally better (Thank goodness 2k has basketball). They also have Road Rash hostage and thank goodness Road Redemption is a thing..no thanks to EA
And people ask me why I'm stuck in the past with retro gaming. It's this shit right here. I play games to ESCAPE society..I don't want to connect to the internet, I don't want to play with other people..if I did, I'd go play fantasy football with the other suburban dads at the bar.
I doubt it, I mean when was the last Dead Space game? it was at least 5-6 yrs or more ago right? Bioware are still making games and thus are still making EA money so I highly doubt it.
Mass effect andromeda wasnt received well but sold well so they are fine they also just showed off a new ip Anthem and have been keeping the info coming along with it unlike the star wars game by visceral witch they showed a 10 second teaser and that was it.
I played DI and I loved it. It was graphic, truly messed up and it wasn't afraid to offend anyone. That takes some big balls and I respect them for doing it and making a great game and not just a statement.
So what? its fun and explores a different mythos than God of War. If you think about it many religions and mythologies have similar or even recurring themes.
You know what would be ironic,if Kojima pulls a mother base tactic from mgs5 and just starts assembling top quality studios wronged by other developers.The alpha and the omega all in one,just like the diamond dogs.Quick some body make a long gaming motto version of the diamond dogs doing the wet work of the world speech that miller gave
I would love to see that happen. Unfortunately some one would have to publish those games and since I don't want them working for EA, Activision and Ubisoft that means it will either be console specific or struggle to find a publisher.
EA is a huge reason why I mostly only play jrpgs and indies. I'm so done with this generations multiplayer games, every single one of them is so fucking disgustingly drowned with microtransactions.. I've loved Visceral for year (even though I'm a chicken shit when it comes to horror games), sucks that they are gone now :/
CaptainMaakasu. Rainbow Six Siege, Battlefield, Or Overwatch. All multiplayer games that don’t require Microtransactions to win. Although really no game requires micro transactions to win if you are good.
That's why you should not support it. Multiplayer is almost in each single game lately... servers closing down and some game are just not playable anymore. Don't buy or support it unless there's offline/single player mode
Blahblah, the difference between you and an ACTUAL adult is that the adult understands what microtransactions are harmless and which ones aren't. Overwatch's loot boxes are of the harmless variety that are completely optional and has absolutely no affect on the gameplay. It's all for show, and strictly that. Even if you don't buy them, you still get them anyway just by playing the game. If people want to spend a little money just to make their avatars look a little prettier, so be it. It's not like they're using a pay-to-win model. The pay-to-win bullshit is part of what qualifies as the "not so harmless" microtransactions. That's the shit that needs to go.
For real. EA's been trippin. I was told by a co-worker that he used to work for EA, and they don't give a F**k about gamers, just making money. EA has hosted some of my favorite games
They're gonna turn this game into a Destiny clone lootbox fiesta. That's EA's style. Homogenize all their game series to try and ape whatever the popular series is in the industry at the time. From Call of Duty to Destiny, they want a piece of that pie.
I bet you the only reason DICE hasn't been axed by EA yet is because they make the only game related thing that EA gives a wet fart about. Multiplayer and microtransactions. As for every other studio that prioritizes single player and doesn't want intrusive microtransactions? Off to the gaming guillotine.
God publishers are becoming so careless now. A dev team who develop games for years... all down the drain. Wtf. Instead of shutting them down maybe hire more devs or better yet integrate?
Ea does not care about making good games they will do what ever takes to juice every penny they can out of people willing to and dumb enough to get buying and preordering their shit games Madden is a prime example of that
Literally anything EA put it's hands on ends up being dead, remember how they were the Wii U number 1 supporters until Nintendo denied them to put Origin on the Wii U?
Too be fair the only game in the collection that would be worth it is dead space 1. This isnt like bioshock where all 3 are good with the first and third being amazing.
That's debatable. The second Dead Space game builds off of the first and fleshes things out more. The third one wasn't my favorite, but wasn't bad, either...wasn't a fan of the final boss, though.
this is exactly why you should buy the game on disc!, non of this digital download bullshit!. if the studio does close , youve always got the physical copy of the game . digital download is NOT a good thing.keep buying discs.
You know, seeing two of my favorite franchises being shut down because of a company's greed hurts. Especially since I was in middle school when Dead Space and Dante's Inferno came out, feels like more of my childhood is just being lost to the desire of not having a good storyline. Hopefully someone picks up the guys at Visceral and Dead Space can take a different spin.
BIOWARE is next. Anthem will not meet EA's impossible expectations and shut them down too. Mass Effect Andromeda already has EA smelling blood in the water.
And honestly, who's fault is that? Answer: The hate mob who'd rahter say the game is garbage because of some launch day animation glitches, than actually play the damn thing. It wasn't great, but it was a damn site better than most of the shit we had other than it. *CoughOverratedcough*
Don't blame the customer that knows what they want to buy. They are selling us shit, and your telling us to like it/deal with it because it's from a certain developer. piss off. I don't play multiplayer at all anymore because of these garbage features and cheaters.
see here's the thing; Bioware r still making money. EA may be evil but they aren't stupid. So long as Bioware r making them money then Bioware r safe. I personally liked ME:a tbh, was way better than ME3.
EA: nice work on the new star wars game, bro Visceral: thanks, man glad to be working on a linear star wars game EA: sooooo... any loot boxes? Visceral: wat?
I REALLY like Visceral.I absolutely adored DEAD SPACE 1 and 2 and for a under-rated survival horror games franchise they perfectly encapsulated the legendary movie quote "In space,no one can hear you scream" and that motif is what made DEAD SPACE great and terrifying to play at the same time.The least important game was DEAD SPACE 3 and since EA had meddled in with the games development they injected the infamous Microtransactions into a already well established games franchise and it was EA that killed DEAD SPACE.But my least and eerily creepy enemy in DEAD SPACE 2 was those little possessed children aka The Crawlers.But the most difficult achievement/trophy is to complete the game on Hardcore difficulty and to complete the game in just under 3 saves which is a mode that is designed for those people with lots of time and lots of skill and has mastered the game.A mode that will reward the legendary Hand Cannon upon completion. So many fun times and memories was made with DEAD SPACE 1 and 2 and I don't think we will ever see a game like this ever again which is a real shame and a wasted opportunity to revive the DEAD SPACE franchise. I am calling it now but the creators of Burnout CRITERION are next on the chopping block.
Bloodrocutioner Not in their heads. It's not a smash hit literally out the gate, even if there are server errors on EA's end. There's just like, "Fuck you. Get the hell out of our office".
SwizzlyBubbles it is a shame. I think EA profits off mainly microtransactions. Almost makes me not want to get Battlefront II for pulling this bullshit.
I wouldn't call myself a fan of Visceral, but I did like Dead Space. The fact that we won't be getting the Star Wars game they were doing really pisses me off.
I called this like three or so years ago, when someone mentioned with the mediocre release of Battlefield: Hardline putting them at risk. I've been calling it every year and mentioning I was afraid for Visceral Games for a while now. I love Dead Space 1 & 2 and found 3 enjoyable. Fuck it sucks to be right.
I've notice this pattern from EA whenever they shutdown a studio. The studio releases 2 games that are critically pan then EA pulls the plug. With Visceral, it was Dead Space 3 and Battlefield Hardline. Previous examples that I can think of are Maxis (Sim City and Sim 4), EALA/Danger Close (Command and Conquer 4 and Medal of Honor Warfighter) and Westwood (Command and Conquer Renegade and Earth and Beyond).
"We let >some players< try it out and give feedback" You mean just a dozen samples which may or may not be only part of one demographic within an entire spectrum?
I never realised Everything or Nothing was made by Visceral! It was one of my favorite PS2 games . It had great cover mechanics before all these modern shooters. And I really wanted to see Dead Space 4 :(
Game developers please make sure your corporate overlords know that not everyone wants to play a reskined skyrim game or even another COD. I am aware that people will play games like skyrim and COD. They sell and that is great, but I honestly end up putting games that are that big on the back burner in favor of shorter games. Hell I have like 600 some odd games in steam that are just waiting to be beaten. I play some of them, but I have so little time to play them all. Especially a game that trys to cram everything into it that AAA developers have been doing. I do get tired of seeing every sort of way they try to get extra money too. If they were going to do DLC effectively in things like Bethesda's creation club or well really any of the games that offer it they need to make these products cheaper. For example they could bundle a large amount of them for a nominal cost. Humm oh yeah they used to call that expansion packs. At the very least you would think that if they were just going to try to get you to buy something small as in a singular in game item then it would be a dollar or under, but many times its much more than that. Lets not even get started on loot boxes. I'm sure everyone already knows how that system is flawed and likened to gambling. Personally I'm sticking to indie titles for the most part. They are short and sweet and don't take up a huge chunk of space. Plus a lot of the times they focus on a linear story which is great. It doesn't take up to much time and I can get a good story. Sure open world stories can be fun as well, but I can only seem to play so much of games like minecraft, terraria and other games that just plop you into the game world. It just kind of gets tedious and boring after a while and I still have so many games on the back burner.
Bit surprised you didn't mention the KoTOR games when talking about old Star Wars games. Those were what got me to love gaming in the first place... And Mechassault 2.
Dead Space will always hold a special place in my heart, Dead Space 1 and 2 were some of my favorite games of all times and it's so sad to see this happen.
dethtrain. Battlefield is a really good game that EA publishes. Although 1 was kind of lack luster compared to the older ones. Dice could probably stand on there own 2 feet if they wanted to. Or at the very least get a new and better publisher.
Shadow_Warrior That’s one of the reasons I’ve started buying retro games from 5th gen (will probably start looking around for PS1 games at some point) and have been playing a lot of indie based titles (Thumper for me especially has had my time consumed when I’m not at work). Some of the games released recently have turned into a real cash drain. Hell, I just got Mario Sunshine and Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex in the mail today, two games I loved to death when I was younger, and I’ve got the hardware to play them (a BC Wii and a PS2 BC PS3, assuming Crash works properly).
Especially with Ninja Theory paving the way and showing the industry that publishers aren't needed whatsoever for quote unquote "AAA" quality. Frankly indies have been shaming bigger productions about as far back as Doom 1 and now their shitty pissant money-grubbing tactics are blunting the little edge they had over indies and that's scope, graphics and debateably at one point refinement, but here come rushed launches, cut content and loot boxes/microtransactions
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! My favorite 3rd person survival horror game franchise developer will *NOT* MAKE A DEAD SPACE 4!!! *DEAD SPACE IS OFFICIALLY DEAD SPACE!!*
The funny thing everyone is complaining about microtransictions and lootboxes. But games like Cod are the most sold game every single year. Now we have Destiny, Overwatch and Star wars battlefront. Next year we have another in the collection Anthem. Lets see who wins the award of the biggest microtransictions,season passes, pre orders, dlcs and lootboxes king.
First Star Wars 1313 and now this? Haven't had a good single player star wars games since KOTOR 2 Disney you done effed it up! Who's bright idea was it to exclusively license Star Wars games to EA?
Also fun fact all of the top games this year EA, yeah their single player games with a STORY driven narrative, fuck this shit I am glad I stopped buying from Eat All money in sight
Battlefront 3 wasn't going to be developed by Pandemic, but rather Free Radical Studios (TimeSplitters). They got shut down by EA too, by way of using Crytek as a scapegoat.
dathip FreeRadical is not shut down, they just got rebranded 2x... first they got rebranded to Crytek UK and now they are called Dambuster Studios ("Deep Silver Dambuster Studios" to be exact)
Make sure to play some of the Dead Space games this month since it's October in honor of Visceral games or even give Dante's Inferno a whirl.
AlphaOmegaSin. I'm actually playing Dead Space right now. Never played it before, I'm pretty into it.
AlphaOmegaSin Fuck EA. I was waiting for a new Dante's Inferno or Dead Sp4ce but N0000000oooOooooooOoOoOoOO!!!
All I could think about is how we both have resi pop vinyls 😊😊
EA has joined the dark side!
Just like Konami.
#FuckKonami
Now whenever I play Dead Space, I'll just feel sad. The franchise was left on a cliffhanger and now if we do see a fourth entry, you know EA will find a way to shoehorn loot boxes into it somehow.
EA SPORTS
IT’S IN THE GRAVE
I'm The Dude its in the game but if you want it it'll cost you a very small fee
I'm The Dude savage
Sadly, they're doing just fine, regardless of the hate.
Can't be original. Gotta steal comments I see.
They dun goofed up with BA2
It could happen
Let us remember the fallen: Visceral. Maxis. Mythic. Bullfrog. Origin. Westwood. Phenomic. Black Box. Pandemic. Playfish. NuFX. Dreamworks Interactive. And, as far as I'm concerned, Bioware. EA should be arrested for serial murder.
falsehero2001 And I'm pretty sure at least one UA-camr would justify Nintendo's higher-ups being assassinated.
I'm a cereal murderer.
falsehero2001 And don't forget about Virgin Interactive who made those fun Disney games on PS1.
Shut down by EA.
falsehero2001 Damn thats alot
EA just sitting on command & conquer just blows my mind.
Man this is a sad Day, the Dead Space franchise was one of the only EA titles I was a dedicated player on :(
EA Destroyed Westwood, Maxis now Visceral :(
and soon respawn....if titanfall 3 is a dud
TotalMK Pandemic too :(
EA Games:
*whisper* Shitcan everything
WH250398 EA CEO:
Cross rips nipples
"There's an old saying we have here at EA GAMES: "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE!"
"Oh well fuck em! and fuck you too! I piss in your faces"
Funny enough, one of the test leads there said that to a project lead thinking it was a tester. It was glorious!
I´m guessing that´s the saying since they dont know when that office Closes down :D
Dorkly hehe.
😂😂😂👍🏻
EA, the Serial killer of studios left and right.
That developer graveyard is getting packed more and more as the years go by
I remember the Lord of the Rings games. If you had to force me to choose between the Two Towers game and Return of the King, I'd pick Return of the King, because of more freedom between what character you choose, and there's a hidden co-op option. But I freaking LOVED the Third Age game. Have you ever played that one? Lord of the Rings meets Final Fantasy, where can you go wrong with that!?
AlphaOmegaSin With mass graves like that, one would think there's a holocaust going on conducted by a fascist regeime or something...
Surprised it wasn’t Bioware, with the quality of their most recent games as well as the the fact that the company is hemorrhaging important people like writers and directors.
Current list of EA's victims:
Origin Systems*
Westwood Studios
Pandemic Studios
Maxis
Black Box
Free Radical
Bullfrog
Visceral Games
Criterion Games (still around but now a husk)
BioWare (same situation as Criterion)
among many more in the future...
Dead space is one of the few horror games I truly loved, thanks for everything visceral
Exactly Dead Space will always be my favorite horror trilogy. In fact if it were not for dead space I wouldn't have played horror games.
Anthony Mercado Dead Space 3 wasn't so bad, in my opinion. Dead Space Ignition, on the other hand, was the worst.
Anthony Mercado dead space 3 was good, but the people making it had to undo so much cause of EA, Shadow Issac being your partner, both seeing different things, the weapon mods were originally bigger until early forced them to scrap it for micro transaction
Undoing months of work thanks to EA.
Shadow Issac was the co-op, but EA didn't think demintia would sale... With a horror Game... With dead-fuckin-space
A shame really, dead space 3 was good, but could've been so much better and wouldve been had Electronic assholes not interfered
All of them are amazing but Idk y ppl didnt like 3 okay less horror more action but its perfect and complement of Isaac Clarke story.
Favorite DS2 💙
Best game ever !
I want dead space 4 damn it. Who's with me
Electronic Assassination strikes once again!
ASSassination
ET! eleCTRONIC TRASH
EA doing something shitty? I'M SO SURPRISED!
We're all wearing our clearly shocked masks
They're so predictable even Microsoft still manage to surprise me.
They don't call EA the worst company in America for nothing.
only because ubisoft isn't in america
Ubisoft isn't THAT bad :P
Let's forget about Bank of America bankrupting the country on purpose
Let's hope Visceral pulls a Kojima and decide to create their own independent studio.
There's way too much talent there for them to not be scooped up
WrathOfKarma insomniac is already hiring
Maybe Sony will give them a job .
If visceral gets pickup by kojima that would be the best revival of dead space on a side not kojima should buy mgs IP from konami whenever
I'm not exactly sure, but aren't they absorbing all the people into other projects? Instead of just dropping the whole studio, they're absorbing them like The Blob. Imagine Kojima being bound by contract to work on pachinko machines for the next ten years instead of being free to do whatever. I'm pretty certain that EA's MO is to do whatever it takes to prevent people from doing their own thing.

EA is dead to me
Did you know that EA once loved their developers so much, they paid them well, and were the first to feature software designers in a video game advertisement? From "We see farther," to "We run pockets." Money does funny things to people.
Yea, it's sad that they used to actually be one of the good ones and now have become one of the worst.
+BlackRoseKn1ght Can't do anything about that, homie. Actshition and EA BUY 'em. Devs have no choice.
Not so much funny as TERRIBLE. Money does terrible things to people who in turn do even more terrible things to people, for money... Full circle. Also, *FUCK EA!*
There's a saying for things like that: "Money is the route to all evil."
Actually the saying is "The love of money is the root of all evil".
Wow that is really fucked up why would they do that it's not fair.
Do you not know EA's history? They have a habit of acquiring dev teams, meddling with them, and then shutting them down while blaming them.
EA and fair never go into the same room together
Well, i guess they're trying something diffrent.
AlphaOmegaSin these are the same fuckers of have all the sports games under a monopoly since their competitors were nominally better (Thank goodness 2k has basketball).
They also have Road Rash hostage and thank goodness Road Redemption is a thing..no thanks to EA
We're talking about EA here....
And people ask me why I'm stuck in the past with retro gaming. It's this shit right here. I play games to ESCAPE society..I don't want to connect to the internet, I don't want to play with other people..if I did, I'd go play fantasy football with the other suburban dads at the bar.
Don't knock fantasy football. It's actually kind of fun, like a jock D&D. I'm a geek who likes sports.
Next on EA target, Bioware. You know its going to happend.
Criterion's also on the chopping block...
SolarstrikeVG Wich could be sad.
Criterion did such an awesome job at starfighter assuault in the new BF2.
It wouldn't surprise me.
I doubt it, I mean when was the last Dead Space game? it was at least 5-6 yrs or more ago right? Bioware are still making games and thus are still making EA money so I highly doubt it.
Mass effect andromeda wasnt received well but sold well so they are fine they also just showed off a new ip Anthem and have been keeping the info coming along with it unlike the star wars game by visceral witch they showed a 10 second teaser and that was it.
Dantes interno is fucking underrated, fuck EA
I played DI and I loved it. It was graphic, truly messed up and it wasn't afraid to offend anyone. That takes some big balls and I respect them for doing it and making a great game and not just a statement.
Kos4Evr killing evil baby's with a scythe!!! No other game went there
It's just a God of War rippoff tbh.
So what? its fun and explores a different mythos than God of War. If you think about it many religions and mythologies have similar or even recurring themes.
i respect your point of view, but is sad that Visceral Games gets to be remembered for games that were sen like this.
You know what would be ironic,if Kojima pulls a mother base tactic from mgs5 and just starts assembling top quality studios wronged by other developers.The alpha and the omega all in one,just like the diamond dogs.Quick some body make a long gaming motto version of the diamond dogs doing the wet work of the world speech that miller gave
M.Grey. But Kojima are just as bad as EA.
Tiber Septim don't you mean Konami? Kojima is the developer, not the company.
Raphael Heredia god I hope he means Konami or else we’ve just seen the dumbest man to ever exist.
That's not a bad idea
I would love to see that happen. Unfortunately some one would have to publish those games and since I don't want them working for EA, Activision and Ubisoft that means it will either be console specific or struggle to find a publisher.
EA... being scummy? O: Not EA. They never do anything stupid...
Comrade 2261 : You're right, EVERYTHING they do is stupid.
:O EA is the best company ever :>
Help :(
Goodbye to one of the best series of the last generation, Dead space
It's a damn sad day indeed
AlphaOmegaSin Dead Space is my most favourite Survival Horror franchise of all time, and today its creators got shut-down man this blows.
Wait, isn't Visceral making the zombie mode for the new WW2 Call of Duty?
My personal favorite series of all time. Squandered and shit on. Fuck my life
The lore was the best.....saw the movie and lets plays.....r.I.p necromorphs...the best zombie variation ever...r.I.p Isaac......
EA: "Fuck your single player story-based games now gives us all your money and we'll give you these shitty lootboxes that costs us nothing to make".
Ivan Avendano Agreed. Too bad all the kids care about is loot boxes Microtransactions and Minecraft add ons.
EA is a huge reason why I mostly only play jrpgs and indies. I'm so done with this generations multiplayer games, every single one of them is so fucking disgustingly drowned with microtransactions.. I've loved Visceral for year (even though I'm a chicken shit when it comes to horror games), sucks that they are gone now :/
CaptainMaakasu. Rainbow Six Siege, Battlefield, Or Overwatch. All multiplayer games that don’t require Microtransactions to win. Although really no game requires micro transactions to win if you are good.
I completely agree, plus Overwatch is mainly what I play.
That's why you should not support it. Multiplayer is almost in each single game lately... servers closing down and some game are just not playable anymore. Don't buy or support it unless there's offline/single player mode
Blahblah I get why people blame Overwatch, but Overwatch loot boxes aren't that bad. They're purely cosmetic.
Blahblah, the difference between you and an ACTUAL adult is that the adult understands what microtransactions are harmless and which ones aren't. Overwatch's loot boxes are of the harmless variety that are completely optional and has absolutely no affect on the gameplay. It's all for show, and strictly that. Even if you don't buy them, you still get them anyway just by playing the game.
If people want to spend a little money just to make their avatars look a little prettier, so be it. It's not like they're using a pay-to-win model.
The pay-to-win bullshit is part of what qualifies as the "not so harmless" microtransactions. That's the shit that needs to go.
For real. EA's been trippin. I was told by a co-worker that he used to work for EA, and they don't give a F**k about gamers, just making money. EA has hosted some of my favorite games
This Is Sad News... I Love *Visceral Games* DEAD SPACE Is My Favorite Game To And To See EA Shut Down *Visceral Games* Is So Heartbreaking
They're gonna turn this game into a Destiny clone lootbox fiesta. That's EA's style. Homogenize all their game series to try and ape whatever the popular series is in the industry at the time. From Call of Duty to Destiny, they want a piece of that pie.
And yet, people still buy their shit! ... Fuck em' haven't buy an EA game in about 5 of years. I pirate them all.
That is kind of a catch 22, if you dont buy their shit a studio get shut down. Maybe don't buy games that will automatically do well like Battle field
lol, pretending youre helping by pirating.
we all know youre pirating more than just EA games
Charziken909 did he say he was pirating only EA games?
does it fucking matter?
dont play smart
fair enough, i dont know this kid, but your pleads for mercy have been accepted.. *drops keyboard*
Hmm.. do you think thats why everything is going to online multiplayer with microtransactions and lootbox gambling ??
*Press F to pay respect*
F
Dave Vd F

So "F" stands for *"FUCK EA"* ? I get it ;)
RIP Dead Space. Your story, creativity and unique blend of grotesque and psychological horror will be sorely missed.
I bet you the only reason DICE hasn't been axed by EA yet is because they make the only game related thing that EA gives a wet fart about. Multiplayer and microtransactions. As for every other studio that prioritizes single player and doesn't want intrusive microtransactions? Off to the gaming guillotine.
God publishers are becoming so careless now. A dev team who develop games for years... all down the drain. Wtf. Instead of shutting them down maybe hire more devs or better yet integrate?
Agent 005 Like a Lion eating it's own cub.
Ea does not care about making good games they will do what ever takes to juice every penny they can out of people willing to and dumb enough to get buying and preordering their shit games Madden is a prime example of that
OblivionKisame true gamers dont even play madden , fuckin mainstream BS, id rather play madden 97 on super nintendo for nostalgia
It's truly sad to see such a great developing team be such down! I remember being scared shitless playing Dead Space 1 & 2.
I miss Dante's Inferno...that shit was excellent...
Damn through all this years I never last hope for a dead space 4,
That flame it’s now extinct, how sad.
I played *BattleField: Hardlines* and its a *Visceral* game. Bad that EA is doing this
Konami: Disrespects Hideo Kojima by making the Metal gear survival Abomination.
EA to 2K: "Hold my beer."
so in EA's graveyard we have
Maxis
Mythic
Bullfrog
Origin
Westwood
Vsiceral
and more...
Bioware, watch out!!!
It always cheers me up to see you back on the screen.
Keep it up!
What's up alpha keep up with the badass uploads
Why thank you sir :D
Literally anything EA put it's hands on ends up being dead, remember how they were the Wii U number 1 supporters until Nintendo denied them to put Origin on the Wii U?
E.A. sports its in the grave
Danny Jablonski damn..... Coldest shit ive read today
Won't bother me if they made EA sports game since no one will buy that shit like NFL for example. xD
There not even a Dead space collection on PS4 or Xbox one.😔
Too be fair the only game in the collection that would be worth it is dead space 1. This isnt like bioshock where all 3 are good with the first and third being amazing.
That's debatable. The second Dead Space game builds off of the first and fleshes things out more. The third one wasn't my favorite, but wasn't bad, either...wasn't a fan of the final boss, though.
Actually, all 3 games are backwards compatible on Xbox One.
Chris Jericho: You know what happens when you shut down Visceral!? EA, YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!!!
Ludger's Channel I for one would welcome it.
Chris Jericho has always kicked ass!
I Always Wondered If Chris Jericho Weren't A Wrestler He'd Probably Be A Game Designer For Wrestling Games
BOOK IT, VINCE!
I said this in Jim Sterling's comments section and I'll say it here. I will NEVER... EVER trust EA with my gaming studio! FUCK EA!
this is exactly why you should buy the game on disc!, non of this digital download bullshit!. if the studio does close , youve always got the physical copy of the game . digital download is NOT a good thing.keep buying discs.
EA: Ruining studios and promising careers since 1992.
At least McGee says he wants to do Alice 3...
You know, seeing two of my favorite franchises being shut down because of a company's greed hurts. Especially since I was in middle school when Dead Space and Dante's Inferno came out, feels like more of my childhood is just being lost to the desire of not having a good storyline. Hopefully someone picks up the guys at Visceral and Dead Space can take a different spin.
Alpha, you always speak my mind so well! Everything you said was my response as well! Especially your mention of Dead Space and Dante!
If EA hasn't screwed your gaming experience in some way then you are the 1%.
At this point anything ea does now doesn't shock me anymore
BIOWARE is next. Anthem will not meet EA's impossible expectations and shut them down too. Mass Effect Andromeda already has EA smelling blood in the water.
Criterion is also on the chopping block... :(
Yep. I would expect them to be done within 2 years the way things have been going for them. Battlefront is floundering.
And honestly, who's fault is that?
Answer: The hate mob who'd rahter say the game is garbage because of some launch day animation glitches, than actually play the damn thing. It wasn't great, but it was a damn site better than most of the shit we had other than it. *CoughOverratedcough*
Don't blame the customer that knows what they want to buy. They are selling us shit, and your telling us to like it/deal with it because it's from a certain developer. piss off. I don't play multiplayer at all anymore because of these garbage features and cheaters.
see here's the thing; Bioware r still making money. EA may be evil but they aren't stupid. So long as Bioware r making them money then Bioware r safe. I personally liked ME:a tbh, was way better than ME3.
EA: nice work on the new star wars game, bro
Visceral: thanks, man glad to be working on a linear star wars game
EA: sooooo... any loot boxes?
Visceral: wat?
I REALLY like Visceral.I absolutely adored DEAD SPACE 1 and 2 and for a under-rated survival horror games franchise they perfectly encapsulated the legendary movie quote "In space,no one can hear you scream" and that motif is what made DEAD SPACE great and terrifying to play at the same time.The least important game was DEAD SPACE 3 and since EA had meddled in with the games development they injected the infamous Microtransactions into a already well established games franchise and it was EA that killed DEAD SPACE.But my least and eerily creepy enemy in DEAD SPACE 2 was those little possessed children aka The Crawlers.But the most difficult achievement/trophy is to complete the game on Hardcore difficulty and to complete the game in just under 3 saves which is a mode that is designed for those people with lots of time and lots of skill and has mastered the game.A mode that will reward the legendary Hand Cannon upon completion.
So many fun times and memories was made with DEAD SPACE 1 and 2 and I don't think we will ever see a game like this ever again which is a real shame and a wasted opportunity to revive the DEAD SPACE franchise.
I am calling it now but the creators of Burnout CRITERION are next on the chopping block.
That is fucked...Dead Space was one of my favorite series and they just left it on a cliffhanger
Because not enough sales....Its the only reason.
Zer0megaXX its EA though... I'm sure they make enough money lol
Bloodrocutioner Not in their heads. It's not a smash hit literally out the gate, even if there are server errors on EA's end.
There's just like, "Fuck you. Get the hell out of our office".
SwizzlyBubbles it is a shame. I think EA profits off mainly microtransactions.
Almost makes me not want to get Battlefront II for pulling this bullshit.
Agent 005 that works but I wanted to see those fuckers terrorising the people of earth. That would be a gruesome and chilling eay to end the series.
Star Wars mixed in with Dead space elements could work story wise if they follow certain cannon diseases that happened in the world of Star Wars.
EA is a fuckin' Galactus for developers
Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again.. miss your rants bro 🤘🤘
I'm done! I've been waiting for a new entry for years! Thank you for sharing this with us...
I wouldn't call myself a fan of Visceral, but I did like Dead Space. The fact that we won't be getting the Star Wars game they were doing really pisses me off.
EA...Entertainment Anarchy
Or, in my opnion, Extreme Assholes
James8107 EA: Entertainment? Quality? Pffffft. FUCK YOU GIVE ME MONIES.
That makes them sound somewhat cool, Excessive assholicity? Maybe?
The fact that they declare themselves as "art" in their full name baffles me.
Enormous Assholes
I called this like three or so years ago, when someone mentioned with the mediocre release of Battlefield: Hardline putting them at risk. I've been calling it every year and mentioning I was afraid for Visceral Games for a while now. I love Dead Space 1 & 2 and found 3 enjoyable. Fuck it sucks to be right.
I've notice this pattern from EA whenever they shutdown a studio. The studio releases 2 games that are critically pan then EA pulls the plug. With Visceral, it was Dead Space 3 and Battlefield Hardline. Previous examples that I can think of are Maxis (Sim City and Sim 4), EALA/Danger Close (Command and Conquer 4 and Medal of Honor Warfighter) and Westwood (Command and Conquer Renegade and Earth and Beyond).
"We let >some players< try it out and give feedback"
You mean just a dozen samples which may or may not be only part of one demographic within an entire spectrum?
I'm just waiting for the day that EA gets booed off the stage at E3. It's never going to happen, I know. But a guy can dream...
If Anthem doensn't make EA truckloads of money on release then Bioware is next on the Chopping Block.
I really wanted a Mercenaries 3...
Love your shirt man! One of my favorite movies! RIP Romero. Thanks to TWD, his last film was never funded
I wasn't going to cover Dead Space until next year.
It's gonna happen at this point...
yeah dead space should of got a remastered bundle
I'm sad because they made 007 Everything or Nothing : (
They did, they got to make a few 007 games which were good as hell
I don't think they made The World is Not Enough for N64, but damn did it show the N64's power.
I never realised Everything or Nothing was made by Visceral! It was one of my favorite PS2 games . It had great cover mechanics before all these modern shooters. And I really wanted to see Dead Space 4 :(
Ironic, I just bought it for the Xbox and ps2 yesterday....
YES! Their Bond games were awesome!
Game developers please make sure your corporate overlords know that not everyone wants to play a reskined skyrim game or even another COD. I am aware that people will play games like skyrim and COD. They sell and that is great, but I honestly end up putting games that are that big on the back burner in favor of shorter games.
Hell I have like 600 some odd games in steam that are just waiting to be beaten. I play some of them, but I have so little time to play them all. Especially a game that trys to cram everything into it that AAA developers have been doing.
I do get tired of seeing every sort of way they try to get extra money too. If they were going to do DLC effectively in things like Bethesda's creation club or well really any of the games that offer it they need to make these products cheaper. For example they could bundle a large amount of them for a nominal cost. Humm oh yeah they used to call that expansion packs. At the very least you would think that if they were just going to try to get you to buy something small as in a singular in game item then it would be a dollar or under, but many times its much more than that. Lets not even get started on loot boxes. I'm sure everyone already knows how that system is flawed and likened to gambling.
Personally I'm sticking to indie titles for the most part. They are short and sweet and don't take up a huge chunk of space. Plus a lot of the times they focus on a linear story which is great. It doesn't take up to much time and I can get a good story. Sure open world stories can be fun as well, but I can only seem to play so much of games like minecraft, terraria and other games that just plop you into the game world. It just kind of gets tedious and boring after a while and I still have so many games on the back burner.
Bit surprised you didn't mention the KoTOR games when talking about old Star Wars games. Those were what got me to love gaming in the first place... And Mechassault 2.
Dead Space will always hold a special place in my heart, Dead Space 1 and 2 were some of my favorite games of all times and it's so sad to see this happen.
Why do people even buy products from this company anymore? Let them fall
dethtrain. Battlefield is a really good game that EA publishes. Although 1 was kind of lack luster compared to the older ones. Dice could probably stand on there own 2 feet if they wanted to. Or at the very least get a new and better publisher.
If this shit continues like forced microtranaction, I'm expecting older games and indie games will start to sell better than new AAA releases
Shadow_Warrior That’s one of the reasons I’ve started buying retro games from 5th gen (will probably start looking around for PS1 games at some point) and have been playing a lot of indie based titles (Thumper for me especially has had my time consumed when I’m not at work). Some of the games released recently have turned into a real cash drain. Hell, I just got Mario Sunshine and Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex in the mail today, two games I loved to death when I was younger, and I’ve got the hardware to play them (a BC Wii and a PS2 BC PS3, assuming Crash works properly).
Good because they need to. that will send a message that people will not tolerate this sort of crap.
Shadow_Warrior I'm very close to going retro.
I will definitely not be buying a PS5 or any other future new game consoles.
Especially with Ninja Theory paving the way and showing the industry that publishers aren't needed whatsoever for quote unquote "AAA" quality. Frankly indies have been shaming bigger productions about as far back as Doom 1 and now their shitty pissant money-grubbing tactics are blunting the little edge they had over indies and that's scope, graphics and debateably at one point refinement, but here come rushed launches, cut content and loot boxes/microtransactions
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! My favorite 3rd person survival horror game franchise developer will *NOT* MAKE A DEAD SPACE 4!!!
*DEAD SPACE IS OFFICIALLY DEAD SPACE!!*
So I guess that "where are going, PapEA?" comic is going to get updated, right?
Where did omega go? I miss his vids
Gotta keep that worst company title, because that's all that matters.
thank god for gravity rush. I still haven't beat the 2nd one.
EA needs to stop shutting down and needs to be shut down.
Rest in speghetti
Never forghetti....
Your outro is better than any other channel
can i have the sauce for the don't deal with the devil pic? the EA version not the cuphead original
The funny thing everyone is complaining about microtransictions and lootboxes. But games like Cod are the most sold game every single year. Now we have Destiny, Overwatch and Star wars battlefront. Next year we have another in the collection Anthem. Lets see who wins the award of the biggest microtransictions,season passes, pre orders, dlcs and lootboxes king.
Noooo the new Star Wars game! 😔 Guess you can add that to the likes of 1313 and many other cancelled Star Wars games.
The game didn't got cancelled, but it's being re-done under EA Vancouver.
Elusory Monk Oh yeah. Still, it'll probably be redone to the point of becoming a completely different game anyway.
Yeah
Sucks one of the best licenses for gaming keeps getting screwed around so much
id rather it be canclled instead of it being turned into an destiny style mmo with lootboxes
First Star Wars 1313 and now this? Haven't had a good single player star wars games since KOTOR 2
Disney you done effed it up! Who's bright idea was it to exclusively license Star Wars games to EA?
Calvin The Stampede
it was Pandemic and Lucas Arts, that were brought out by EA...
Dragon Age Origins was God tier though
That the reason I don’t buy battlefront no 1313 I’m not supporting battlefront
Can't wait for EA to go under and all these IPs to go to Studios that can actually use them.
*EA Games,* our motto? "Buy it up, tear it down!"
Electronic ARTS? More like Electronic FARTS!!! Thanks for destroying another good developer.
Ludicrous Shows Nah. More like Evil Farts
Ludicrous Shows EA = Evil Assholes
Welcome to EA the American Konami
Konami was just the Japanese EA.
Michael Reynolds Don't you mean the American Nintendo?
EA Sports it’s in the game (but it will cost you extra)
Speaking of Dante’s inferno weren’t they supposed to be a part 2 like a few years ago ?
And I still have so many questions. What happened to lexine, ellie, and that dlc ending? RIP Dead Space
Also fun fact all of the top games this year EA, yeah their single player games with a STORY driven narrative, fuck this shit I am glad I stopped buying from Eat All money in sight
yea ea hates gamers #EaSkate4
LazerViking81 They shut down Black Box, so that won't happen unfortunately
thats why i sayd they hate gamers they shut down black box and now Visceral .. whats next DICE ???
I really wished EA did not shut down pandemic. We could had a *REAL* battlefront 3 and Mercenaries 3
Battlefront 3 wasn't going to be developed by Pandemic, but rather Free Radical Studios (TimeSplitters).
They got shut down by EA too, by way of using Crytek as a scapegoat.
Your right! Free radicial studios is shut down along with crytek. BTW check out timesplitters rewind!
Crytek is still around, just down to a husk though.
dathip FreeRadical is not shut down, they just got rebranded 2x... first they got rebranded to Crytek UK and now they are called Dambuster Studios ("Deep Silver Dambuster Studios" to be exact)
Long ass day working in construction coming home to an AlphaOmegaSin vid, fuck yea 🤘🏼
The Dead Space series of games meant a lot to me and it still does till this day. It really breaks my heart to see Visceral Games closing.
