You sound like one of EA’s propaganda employees trying to pass blame of. You are not going to convince me to waste money on any more of EA’s games again.
Also you need to get better lies because its also trendy to hate on COD yet I still buy it because its fun to play and not a waste of my money.

And are we also going to blame Visceral for the mess that is dead space 3? What about the mess that is Crysis 2? What about Danger Close and the mess that is Medal of Honor Warfighter? What about Pop Cap getting bought out buy EA and getting shut down months later. Yea everyone is to blame except EA right?

Yeah…..not really, lots of people blame EA for the destruction of IPs but have you ever actually looked into how they work with publishers. Look I know hating on EA is trendy right now and I did it for a while but when you look into it, EA is not the problem.

They are if anything too hands off, and give devs unlimited freedom. They have too much on their plate to micromanage each title. The real fault comes when the devs get this influx of money and resources and decided for themselves to make bigger and more casually appealing games.

Seriously I urge anyone who hates EA to actually do research. You will see they are remarkably hands off and try their best to support whatever direction the devs want. So next time you want to bash on EA for ruining Mass Effect or SWOTOR blame Casey Hudson instead, because he is the reason it for its problems, not EA.

This guy is dead on if microsoft bought these IPs and made them exclusives it would be a great move for them.

To be honest Microsoft should buy a few of THQ titles Metro, darksiders and homefront.
Reason I think this is fable was the only adventure game Microsoft had and I think darksiders would be a great title to hold
Homefront would be a great FPS for Microsoft because the only FPS they own is halo an not everyone likes the si fi type game
Saint Row will be the title every company goes after an eventhough I don’t like it I think it come down to EA and Activision

True, if EA can find money in a title they will try, but they do also ruin games, Army of two was an amazing new IP and it showed Co op gameplay that beat any game around its time. then next one they sort of killed it because they tried to make it like gears. This pattern can be said about most there games

Well this is a true fact. Just to clarify though I never said I love EA lol I’m still mad about what they did to the Mass Effect Franchise and Bioware in general. Of course they would ruin some of these IPs if picked up, but at the end of the day they could offer alot of money to a company and I don’t see any of that being turned down.

No what im reffering to is the MMA game EA made before when THQ made UFC 2010. Yukes made the UFC games for THQ and they will be far better than any EA MMA game even if it does have the UFC title

EA is working with Crytek to release Crysis 3 next month so it’s not totally out of the question for them to work on Homefront 2 together.

The THQ MMA game is the exact same UFC game you’re referencing and of course it’s the better version. Why do you think they bought it in the first place? lol

Agreed… Microsoft needs IPs bad

I agree that Microsoft should buy one of these IPs. I would even go so far as to say they should pick up South Park also but that game is destined to be multiplatform.

Thanks man… Hopefully some of these pan out for the better.

The thing is EA will buy the IP and trash it to eliminate the possibility of another publishers getting it and making competition. I am positive of this by looking at EA’s track record..most recently Pop Cap games…

I actually want Microsoft to buy something, the IP under MS are seriously lacking aside form Halo, Gears and Alan Wake.

That’s what I was thinking, there no way EA would buy homefront they already have enough FPS they wouldn’t buy it.

As for WWE they don’t think it a sport game so they wouldn’t make it plus the last wrestling they did have sucked.

They may own the UFC licence now but THQ MMA game will always be better than EA version
