Company News Is Troika Dead?

[Sarkile]

:shock: Will the world come to the point where I'm actually rooting for Atari and Bethesda?

 

[Fez]

Only until EA get around to buying them too. :D

EA's buying everything these days and they don't seem to have anything good to show for all the money they have. There are a couple of EA titles I'm looking forward to, though: The Godfather, and the upcoming real-time strategy game which Chris Taylor and that Gas Powered Games agreed to have EA publish for them.

He's calling the game what he wanted TA2 to be.

riddle me this? what 2 things does the Godfather, Lord of the Rings, Catwoman, Harry Potter, Saving Private Ryan, and James Bond all have in common

 

[Major_Blackhart]

heres a clue they demonstrate how when EA is completly lacking in original thought and just doesn't have the creativity, capacity, motivation or courage to come up with a new IP for a great game they can always exploit a movie and shoehorn it into a clone of someone elses game somehow and everything is just fine.

 

[Sol Invictus]

They made a Saving Private Ryan game?

Well the Medal of Honor series has Steven Spielburg listed in the credits, so I guess he could mean that game.

 

[Reklar]

Perhaps Kuato is referring to Medal of Honor: Allied Assault's D-Day intro for Saving Private Ryan? I've never played the game, but I hear it's pretty realistic for today's technology. I'm not sure what the answer to the riddle is though, except for what was given as a clue.

Yes the very essence of Ryans Privates are melded into the fabric of the Medal Of Honor series in fact it was Steven Spielbergs idea in the first place who suggested the idea of a Saving Private Ryan game at Dreamworks many years ago which turned into Medal of Honor

 

[Sol Invictus]

It wasn't realistic at all. It was a nice cinematic experience, to be sure, but all you had to do was to run from point A to point B and reload a lot because everytime you ran into the 'wrong direction' a mortar exploded in your face. Call of Duty's Stalingrad was a lot better, and had several paths you could run in.

Call of Duty is also a lot newer than Medal of Honor, so it makes sense for the developers to learn from what's missing in related games. I agree that Call of Duty is probably a better experience overall, but I can only go by what I've read since I've never had the opportunity to play either game. However, Call of Duty was published by Activision so it's a moot point in relation to the riddle concerning EA.

Band of Brothers is being (has been?) made. Its based on the Spielberg-produced mini-series of the same name. I think.

 

[Kuato]

is there a trend here?

Yeah I agree Movies are pretty damn linear Oh Im sorry I got confused are we talking about games or movies

 

[Major_Blackhart]

God, I wish they wouldnt do this.

God, I wish they wouldnt do this.

Well, suck it up, sledgehammer boy! It'll never stop!

LOL, nice attempt there Lemon.

 

[Sol Invictus]

Actually, dojo, it was submitted anonymously to NMA (www.nma-fallout.com) and posted as news, as you will see on the front page.

 

[dojoteef]

I just read the posts there and it seems most people believe it's a fake, just like I did. It has bullshit written all over it. Oh well.

 

[Lemon]

LOL, nice attempt there Lemon.

I predate you nitwit.


I'll totally put my internet street cred on the line for this one Dojo, its from one of the fellows who worked on Bloodlines.

So why do Odin (who posted the story) and Briosafreak say the message is completely anonymous? What, are you the one that sent that quote in, or are you just pulling this shit out of your ass?

 

[Kuato]

Still sounds like a Hoax to me
