Forums - Gaming - If EA made a console, would their games stop sucking?

starcraft on 03 April 2008

If EA made a console one would presume all of their "first-party" games would become exclusives to their new console.

If this happened, would they take on a Nintendo-like attitude of not releasing a game until it is perfect and of an extremely high quality?

For example, would 30FPS versions of Madden cease to exist?  Would monstrosities such as Boogie turn into Singstar-like successes?

Does EA even possess the developmental know-how to make vast quantities of brilliant games in the event they put proper time and money behind the titles?

 That basically sums up what I was going to say. EA's games will ALWAYS suck. I mean, they managed to make BURNOUT suck. If you can do that without necessarily intending to, you have no hope.....



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

You don't think they would life their game if their own console's sales depended on it?

 It would definitely give them MORE incentive to make better games (and for god sake, I hope at least it does). But also more incentive to rush the game out especially during the launch.

 but you asked if they will do it, then absolutely not, EA will not change at all even if it has a console out.

I love my Need For Speed, but I can usually see where EA has cut corners in a game in a way most publishers don't.
