EA shuts down Visceral, moves Star Wars game to EA Vancouver/others
- Thread starter DKHF
- Start date
They need a new studio that will reliably ship games now though. If it is true that developmental problems where what got this canned, that's two games in a row for her that more or less went off the rails.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.

Oh she's out. Or maybe she'll join Bioware?

"You can write loot descriptions"
"Off brand Destiny" is perhaps the most disrespectful term a game has ever been called, lmao.

EA.
Honestly, what hasn't this company run into the ground yet? Battlefield?

MS's been closing down studios too so this makes no sense.

Unbelievable, Star Wars is as strong as ever in the film department and we barely got one decent game yet and now this, WTF?
Where's my X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter (VR) game? Where's my Jedi Knight game?

I doubt they have much faith in Anthem.

Didn't Motive do the campaign for BF2? Maybe they'll assist Respawn or work on BF3?

Doesn't sound very optimistic. Hope she lands on her feet

So it wasn't manipulative enough and didn't contain enough 'avenues of revenue'.
Fuck EA and the [Jim Sterling voice]'AAA'[/voice] industry.

Visceral murdered by EA in broad daylight. Where have I seen this before...?
Yeah, it's doomed.
She's either out or getting shipped off to write story/lore in the DLC mines.

Poor Amy. I feel so bad for her. Leaving ND and going to EA only to see your project shut down when all your previous projects were greatest hits... Ouch.

True, but that was due to the horror aspect being emphasized over the action. MTs had no effect on Dead Space 3's design, but the action focus sure as hell did.

Put it under The Coalition then.
If there's one thing that Rod Fergusson does better than most it's getting games finished.

This is going to be wind up being an open world GaaS title, wont it...
Oh, fuck off EA. This one really hurts. I was really looking forward to Hennig's Star Wars game too.
Sound like EA are done with SP focused games too and is why Visceral got shut. If all their Star Wars games are going to be MP focused I'm done caring.
Hope all those affected land on their feet.

Only Hennig. The other two are at Motive, which are also creating a Star Wars game, but are unaffected
for now.

Visceral probably couldn't fit lootboxes and microtransactions into their Star Wars game. EA have no time for that.
Easy:
- Include Biowaresque romance options
- Let players advance the romantic relationships through gifts
- Make the gifts random loot crates
- Make gift crates time consuming, repetitive grinds or Microtransactions
- $$$
Terrible for people who lost their jobs because of this. Hope they land somewhere without having to spend months looking for another employer.
As for the game. It's a shame, but it's a huge "meh" from me too. They showed nothing of it yet, so I assume there was no game to begin with.
