After the bitter disappointment that new dead space will be an On-rails shooter I ask Are EA still relevant?

I think EA had the chance to do something truly amazing with this game, a true standout title for the wii. Instead we get a cheap on-rails shooter that will take all of an hour to complete. Don’t get me wrong house of the dead over kill was a great game.

Every time Ea come out and say we are going to compete with Nintendo I think cool, but I don’t think they ever will

You've got to be kidding. You know Umbrella Chronicles was just as long as any FPS/TPS and had insane replay value, right? This actually might be the perfect game to launch the Dead Space franchise on Wii, which can lead to more games of different control types later.

I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Wow, EA announces 1 game, and people are ready to throw them to the curb.

First off, this could be the best On-rails game for the Wii. We don't know yet, but if it is, EA would be keeping their promise of quality. In fact, if they really wanted to compete with Nintendo, they need to create something similar in appeal to Mario Kart, and Dead Space is definitely not the right franchise.

Also, we have Boom Blox 2, a sequel to Mirror's Edge coming, and a whole bunch of games coming from EA. EA will always be relevant (unless they go bankrupt like Midway)
