| mike_intellivision said: I think this is a sign of a rushed-to-market project, without full (sufficient) resources being put behind it. Given the choice between BAD and NO on-line, I would rather NO. Given that EA shuts down servers within two years of a game's release, long-term I would rather have the focus be on off-line play for this title. The $64 question is whether on-line play was ever promised and then yanked away. The best I can remember, was EA saying it would be investigated/tried. As for the DLC versions on PSN and XBLA -- that appears to me to be a new retail purchase bonus. Is EA good in this .. NO? Is EA worse than Activision to the Wii? ... Toss-up -- though at least EA did not release Big League Sports, Birthday Bash, Pirate's Quest, Pitfall Big Adventure, Block Party, or Arcade Zone (the latter two of which I own) -- or too many Guitar Hero games and too late CoD:MW. Compared to that line-up, EA has only really done one minigame collection that was not part of a running series -- EA Playground and that was 2007. Mike from Morgantown |
I actually think that on the Wii: Activision > EA.
Yeah, Activision publish a lot of small games we call shovelware, but when it comes to their main franchises they do it properly and don't try to casualise them or something.
If EA had the 007 license, no way in hell they would ever consider making a Goldeneye game only on Nintendo platforms. It'd be either HD or nothing. Heck, probably even the other games in the series wouldn't be on the Wii at all.
Plus, I haven't seen Activision whine about wii customers not buying their games.
