EA Dumps Battlefield 3: Aftershock

Posted Mar 2, 2012 at 12:56PM EST by Administrator Listed in: iPad Tags: aftershock, battlefield 3, EA

Sometimes the best thing you can do for a game is pull the plug.

Battlefield is one of EA’s biggest brands, so it makes sense that the company would look to cash in on its popularity in any way possible. The most recent tie-in came in the form of an iOS game released for the iPad, known as Battlefield 3: Aftershock. There was only one problem: the game sucked.

Battlefield 3: Aftershock stayed live for only 15 days. Launched on February 7, the game was almost unplayable due to serious connection issues and an unresponsive control scheme. EA pulled the title from the iTunes store on February 22 so that it could tweak the title based on customer feedback.

So how did that tweaking manifest? EA is deleting the game, of course! In a statement issued earlier this week, EA confirmed that development on the game has been shut down completely, and that the servers will be pulled offline March 31.

Battlefield 3: Aftershock was free-to-play, so it’s not like anyone is really getting hurt by the game being taken offline. Anyone, of course, besides EA, who likely sank a large sum of money into the title before realizing it was a lost cause.

Did you play Battlefield 3: Aftershock? What did you think?

Unannounced Black Ops 2 Has a Release Date

Posted Mar 1, 2012 at 3:52PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Activision, black ops, call of duty, modern warfare

It’s been almost four months since a Call of Duty game came out. Time to start talking about a new one!

Most people agree that the next entry in the Call of Duty franchise will be Black Ops 2. It’s Treyarch’s turn to develop a CoD title, and the original Black Ops broke pretty much every record set by Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2. And since Activision isn’t one for originality or risk-taking, a straight sequel is all but guaranteed.

Of course, Activision still likes to pretend like it can keep a secret. So even though Black Ops 2 was outed by a retailer last month and everyone pretty much knows it’s coming, the company has gone out of its way to pretend that isn’t the case. Well, add another retailer leak to the pile.

Spanish retailer Fnac not only has Black Ops 2 in its currently video game roster, but has a release window for the still-unannounced title as well: November 2012. Once again, this is less than news—a new Call of Duty game has come out in October or November of every year since 2003.

Seriously, Activision, just announce the game (and the accompanying Black Ops ELITE paid service) already.

Feel like Killing Hitler?

Posted Feb 28, 2012 at 3:38PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: rebellion, sniper elite v2

Sniper Elite V2 offers a pre-order bonus that lets you do just that.

In most games and films, tinkering with history is strictly prohibited. Sure, you’ve killed mountains of Nazi soldiers in generic first-person shooters, but the overall narrative of the war still rolled on to its inevitable conclusion. Rebellion is offering you a chance to step outside of the time lock and alter the path of history, assuming, of course, you pre-order its upcoming Sniper Elite V2.

If you swing by your local game store and pre-order Sniper Elite V2 before March 4, you’ll be given free access to the Kill Hitler DLC Pack. The pack includes two new weapons and, more importantly, the opportunity to shoot Hitler in his tiny-mustachioed face.

Here’s the description of the mission, straight from Rebellion:

You have one chance to change history – intel has been received that Hitler is returning from Berchtesgaden to Berlin via his personal train. Players must intercept the train as it waits at the station and take down the Fuhrer as he hastily makes way for the station on foot. There is only a single opportunity for players to do what so many wish had been done – take out the leader of the Third Reich.

If you weren’t planning on picking up Sniper Elite, this DLC bonus probably won’t sell you a copy of the game. But if you were, this seems like plenty of motivation to pre-order.

Should games be more liberal with real-life timelines?

EA Sports Returns to NBA Live

Posted Feb 24, 2012 at 12:55PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: EA Sports, nba elite, NBA Live, nba live 10, nba live 13

Insert basketball-related pun here.

It’s been three years since we last visited the NBA Live franchise. NBA Live 10, released in 2009, was the last chance fans of the Live franchise had to get their LeBron James on. While a new basketball title under the name NBA Elite had been planned, it was scrapped back in 2010 after it turned out to be terrible. Since then, players have had to rely on updates to NBA Live 2012 to keep their NBA fantasies alive.

Well, update no more, basketball lovers. EA has announced that it’s bringing the NBA Live brand back this year, with NBA Live 13. According to EA Sports, Live 13 will be a brand new experience that “captures the future” of basketball. Whatever that may mean. Space Jam, maybe?

Details are relatively scant at the moment, but EA has promised an update on the game’s official Facebook page sometime next week. So stay tuned for more information.

In the meantime, you can keep an eye on the EA Sports NBA Twitter for a steady stream of NBA players playing early builds of the new title.

EA Draws Inspiration from Call of Duty Elite

Posted Feb 3, 2012 at 3:47PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Activision, battlefield, call of duty elite, EA, mass effect 3, modern warfare 3, mw3

Despite an ongoing rivalry, EA has nothing but positive remarks for the “games as services” philosophy Activision has adapted.

Call of Duty Elite is a premium subscription service that launched with Modern Warfare 3. The service comes with a few perks, such as future DLC packs and advanced clan support. And while many gamers lamented CoD Elite as yet another cash grab, Electronic Arts sees it as an opportunity in the making.

In an earnings call with investors this morning, EA CEO John Riccitiello fired off a quick compliment to Activision, EA’s primary competition in the FPS market. He noted that adding a subscription to an FPS game (MW3) was a “best-in-class performance,” and that EA would be looking for similar ways to further monetize its franchises. Battlefield Elite, anyone?

The “games as services” movement is picking up steam, with companies like Activision leading the charge. Publishers are on the hunt for any method of expanding revenue, and the massive success of CoD Elite has gone a long way towards proving that the subscription model works.

What do you think? Would you pay for a CoD Elite-type service on Battlefield or Mass Effect 3?

Call of Duty locking DLC to Elite accounts

Posted Jan 28, 2012 at 7:42AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Activision, call of duty elite, cod elite, xbox live

Call of Duty locking DLC to ELite accounts

More Elite features include flipping the bird to consumers and making tonnes off money by being crazy

So Modern Warfare 3 made over a billion dollars last year and whilst Activision is tight lipped on how much has been made from their Elite service so far. The first two maps for MW3 have been released and the next few already teased but many CoD players have discovered a recent change in the DLC policy. This would have people shelling out more money for their maps but other profiles on the system will be unable to get their content without a second or separate Elite membership.

On the Call of Duty forums, there were 8 pages worth on a single thread of upset players who had their friends and family accounts discontinued or altered with no new maps because they didn't have a secondary account. What's even worse is that the new policy doesn't really work with the terms of services you encounter when you first download the content, which rather plainly states on the loading screen that: "You can use this item on the first Xbox 360 console you downloaded it to. Access to this item will also be granted to all users on this first console."

What would usually happen is that DLC on the 360 would be user agnostic and while your purchase (or any redownloads of purchased items) would be tied to your account, any XBLA games or in-game DLC would be on your HD and playable by any account on the 360, which you own. Microsoft's own digital ownership scheme, mimics real life ownership, so as long as someone has access to the content, you can let someone borrow it from you and play it on their own account.

However, with the CoD Elite service, you cannot do so and require your own user account to access the maps and DLC. For example, a single copy of the game could set you back several $50 a year per account to play on.

Whilst Activision is yet to make a comment on it, I'm sure the more "financially savvy" (See: Greedy) companies will probably adopt this system to make sure each user or member of a console will fork out a piece of dough to make sure they make up for the "lost millions" from pirates.

Not sure how many Call of Duty fans there are on this site, but I'm sure that more often than not there are criticism's spread far and wide about their handling of their Elite service as well as their user base. I do like Call of Duty in theory and in some aspects.

I think if the Black Ops zombie game was just a downloadable title I would buy that and every bit of DLC in existance, but alas we are burdened by terrible storylines, unrelatable characters and some insane visuals. They're not terrible games but their effect on the industry (see: BF3, Medal of Honor, etc.) can bar none see them as a culprit.

Saints Row the Third Experiencing PC Issues

Posted Dec 27, 2011 at 1:21PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: arkham city, cod elite, origin, saints row the third, skyrim

Users are reporting serious problems with the PC version of Saints Row the Third.

2011 has definitely been the year of the buggy launch. We’ve seen Origin issues, an unavailable CoD Elite, Skyrim crashes, an inoperable Arkham City and a barely functioning RAGE. It certainly seems like developers had a hard time putting the final layer of polish on their games this year, and Saints Row the Third is apparently no exception.

Players of the PC version of Saints Row the Third are reporting that the game’s outdoor settings (of which there are many) cause their systems to slow down immensely, making the game nearly unplayable. The glitch only occurs in Saints Row’s open world – you know, the open world that’s supposed to be the entire core of the game.

Volition is working with users to get the issue resolved. They’re taking dxdiag files and talking to people on the official Saints Row and Steam forums in order to get some idea of what’s happening – the problem isn’t limited to AMD or NVIDIA hardware, so it’s going to take them some time to lock down.

While it’s nice to see the company interacting with players and trying to fix the problem, the immense number of broken titles we’ve seen this year is an interesting, and slightly alarming trend.

Do you think developers are getting sloppy?

EA Offers $100 Car in Need for Speed World

Posted Dec 16, 2011 at 3:01PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: dlc car, EA, need for speed

Yes, you read that right. $100 for a pretend car. But it’s a really nice pretend car.

EA has really been on a roll over the last few weeks when it comes to being a bunch of money-grubbing jerks. First, they add a subscription fee to their Tetris app, then they have the gall to charge people $60 for a Theme Park rollercoaster. Now, it looks like they’ve managed to one-up even themselves, by offering a $100 premium car in the currently free-to-play racing MMO, Need for Speed World.

Sure, it makes sense that some cars would cost money. The game is F2P, after all, and EA has to make some cash somewhere to keep the game profitable. But charging people more for one car than they’d pay for a brand new AAA title sure doesn’t seem like a good move. Some morons will probably buy one, but overall it isn’t a great approach from a community perspective.

The offending car, known as the Koenigsegg CCX "Elite" Edition, doesn’t seem to be that much better than any other car – in fact, every feature seems to be purely aesthetic. You’d basically be driving a sign that says, “I AM BAD WITH MONEY.” This is only the first of several such “premium” vehicles; most cars for NFS World are much more reasonably priced.

Part of me wants to be upset with EA’s audacity. However, it’s not like they’re forcing anyone to buy a $100 car – if you end up purchasing this thing, it’s no one’s fault but your own. Plus, the $100 car is great from a marketing perspective; you get free advertising from all of the game news sites as they lose their mind over the price. Well played, EA.

Would you spend $100 on a digital car?

Modern Warfare 3 is Apparently Very Successful

Posted Dec 12, 2011 at 4:21PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: battlefield, call of duty, cod elite, modern warfare 3

Did you guys know that people like Call of Duty games? Because Activision is reporting huge profits for the latest entry in the series.

Okay, I promise this is the last news post about how much money Modern Warfare is making. Honestly, I wasn’t even going to post it, but it’s just such a big deal there’s really no way to avoid it.

Activision has reported that Modern Warfare 3 has raked in an astonishing $1 billion in its first 16 days of launch. That’s faster than Avatar, which took 17 days to break a billion after it was released in 2010. The published has also reported that there are over 30 million people playing one version of Call of Duty or the other, making it one of the biggest gaming communities in the world.

As the publisher notes, the CoD community is now larger than the populations of New York, Paris, Madrid, Tokyo and London. Beat that, Battlefield! They also boasted that CoD Elite, the barely-functioning online service launched with MW3, has landed six million players. They compared this figure to sign-ups for Hulu, Xbox Live and Netflix, but I’m not sure that’s a fair comparison considering most of those companies were doing something completely new rather than piggybacking a service onto a successful product.

Like I’ve said before, I’m a Battlefield guy. But, any big success should be celebrated, so hats off to the folks at Infinity Ward for making such a popular game. And also to Activision, for an unmatched marketing blitz.

Are you one of the 30 million Call of Duty players?

Take 2 Boss Criticizes Yearly Schedule Releases

Take 2 Boss Criticizes Yearly Schedule Releases

With games like Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty being released every year, who has time for quality.

Take Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is a force to be reckoned with. A man who has helped push some of the most innovative and creatively awesome titles to the finish line over the years, but over those years has been time...effort...killing hookers, so when Zelnick says that the current model of yearly releases isn't sustainable, he knows what he's talking about.

Big budget Triple-A titles need time and effort put upon them, not just a new coat of paint, a first-draft script and some geographically confused accents. Zelnick was a speaker at the UBS Media and Communications conference and whilst Zelnick didn't specificially name any franchises he had however, just finished discussing Activision's stance in the market place.

Zelnick said that if "you start trying to stamp these products out annually, we don't think that's consistent with a high-quality result", essentially the current Call of Duty model, even with a subscription service, is not sustainable. Zelnick added that if you give consmers something every year like clockwork, they will eventually grow tired of it.

Whilst I would agree with Zelnick, MW3 did pull in over half a billion dollars in sales last month and I tend not to argue with creative figures that I will never ever ever ever ever ever see in my lifetime.

Figures have been coming out about how GameStop and a few other retailers have sold over half a million Premium Subscriptions to Call of Duty's subscription service, Elite and have continued to grow as such. Zelnick queried the viability of such a subscription service, saying he could't tell whether it was relevant yet. "I'm kind of skeptical, frankly. I suspect that we want a different experience on our big screen than we do on our middle-sized screen than we do on our mobile screen, because I think we use them at different times and they mean different things. I do think an intellectual property can thread through, but only if it is really high quality."

That being said users who signed up for Elite crashed the servers twice in the first week of release due to it's popularity and the unbelivable amount of support that Activision had not prepared for. Jamie Berger of Activision has acttually said that "right now, it's an option", when talking about Elite, but he also adds that it might not be in "3-5 years."

So both Activision and Zelnick are not thinking about keeping a community running in the long term; they should team up on something.
