| Chairman-Mao said: I was really worried when I read the title and it had the word "art" in it, but you had some valid points and I agree with you. Its much easier for Activision to put out a new Guitar Hero which they know will sell a million or a Call of Duty which will sell multiple millions, then to try a new game. I think EA is finally trying new things with their games like Dead Space and Mirrors Edge. I think they were both EA. But they still rely a lot on yearly sports franchises. |
Well, I'm glad I didn't turn out to be a total annoyance to read then. :)
Yes, Activision is one of the companies I don't even bother with anymore, and I'm simply not buying any more of their junk. Mirrors Edge surprised me when I saw it was an EA game, but with EAs choice to publish Brutal Legend, a game by the designer Tim Schafer, whos last two games were total commerical flops but critical hits (See Psychonauts and Grim Fandango) I've started to trust EA again, whether Brutal legend turns out good or not won't matter really, the fact that EA are willing to take the risk makes me happy with them.
