Forums - Gaming - So, EA deliberately strips Dead Space of the elements that made it great and cans it when it no longer appeals?!

As long as they make/publish good games I will continue to support them.

FIFA 14
Battlefield 4
Plants vs. Zombies 2

yup already looks like a good year.

Guys, this was a fake rumor that VGC and other websites took up as real news - but while other sites later updated to say the rumor was false, VGC did not.

Dead Space 3 is performing just fine according to EA's response, and there are no plans to stop the franchise or take a break. Please change your OP to inform everyone of this.



Well, this was a waste of time. Moving along...

EA is a cancer upon the gaming world, as is Activision though less.

Unfortunely i love Bioware so i have no choice than to keep supporting Bioware while their games please me, but i totally agree i wish EA would disappear and i refuse to buy their crap. I did buy Kingdoms of Amalur, wich was a really good game and they should've kept the studio, if not only to engage in sequals of the single player game. Instead, they were insta-canned. They also destroyed westwood studios aswell as many other studios they bought and ran down. If i could pay to have EA close its doors, i would.

My thoughts exactly. A cancer.

Responsible, smart gamers need to be the cure and no longer support these evil scumbags.

Regardless of whether they are canning the game or not. EA still practices horrible business models and they still buy up once great series and developers and turn their products into generic genre tropes trying to reach COD sales numbers that are not realistic in the first place. EA is still a cancer. With or with out them canning Dead Space is true or not.

Hell, with how they are deliberately forcing the game to become generic crap they might as well can it.

I agree. Dead Space is one of my favorite franchises this gen and I won't buy Dead Space 3 because of things like online passes and trophies. I simply won't support the effort to kill the used games market. Plus Dead Space should have remained what it is and always should be: a single player survival horror.

PS: It's breeches not britches.

No, it's britches. As in pants...haha

Did EA strip away what made Dead Space Popular or did the try to make a niche series sell more? The Dead Space games aren't big sellers. The first two sold ok, but they aren't Halo or COD that is for sure. EA probably would not have continued the series, but gave it another chance and tried to appeal to a larger audience.


But who in their right mind thinks that changing a game after building up an audience is a good idea......Thats like the perfect way to anger an existing fanbase, prime example DMC.... i know dead space didn't change "that" much but people really need to learn from history otherwise they will keep repeating mistakes

Just because you hate a company, doesn't mean you should spread false information. If a rumor is proven false, it should be noted so that everyone has the correct information on the topic. Just because you don't like a company, doesn't mean you should be able to spread false rumors to rile everyone up and say "it's okay that it's false, because this company sucks."

 

I mean no personal rudeness to you. I just think you should update your OP to reflect the fact that these were indeed fake rumors. If you want to make a topic about EA's bad practices, you should do that without this false information.

Whoa there, champ. First of all, I didn't know this was debunked until one of you guys on the thread said it was. So my initial purpose was NOT to spread false rumors.

SECONDLY (AND MOST IMPORTANTLY), the POINT of this thread is not this article. This is but a SMALL MICROCOSM on why EA is a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, anti-consumer company that apparently has been taken over buy a bunch vampiric uber capitalists who could care less about gaming unlike their passionate leadership in the 90s. 

So this thread, and this complaint is super valid. And being that I am not the only one on this forum expressing this exact same sentiment and that EA has been regarded as one of the world's worst companies for consumers on the planet for a while now, I think you're the one in the minority here. You realize you DONT have to post on this thread right? You rule works for you too buddy.

This is exactly my point. I could care less WHY EA decided to completely change a game to a generic action shooter. The point being, the game was already established, well received, and sold a good bit of copies for a new IP on new consoles. 

IT DIDN'T NEED TO BE CHANGED. Just expanded upon. Furthermore, this Dead Space complaint is a complete microcosm of the BIG problem. The elephant in the room. EA itself and how it's apparently lost it's soul.
