I wonder what EA IPs have just died right now?

[-] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 14 points 4 days ago

mass effect? honestly that's all I can think of off the top of my head. They'll start pumping out more Battlefields, more sports, more money into UFC games and I would bet good money they'll try to buy the license for WWE games from 2k. Saudi's love their WWE.

Sims surely will either be cut or completely overhauled. It's way too queer for them.

Isn't it just like free/cheap revenue now that they have no plans to make future Sims games anyway? If they really dislike it I am sure they could find a buyer for it readily.

Was mass effect not already dead? Last game was andromeda and people didn’t like it and no news on another one.

[-] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 1 points 4 days ago

they announced a new one awhile back but I don't think it's going to go anywhere. but yeah Andromedia was bad, I couldn't even make it past the very first planet.

They announced a new one a few years ago alongside the Legendary Edition remaster of the original trilogy, but I don't think we've heard anything about it since the announcement teaser.

The "strike" series? Oh wait that was already dead.

Command and conq--- no no no already dormant.

Oh! How about Road Rash---

Yeah nothing of value is going to be lost

They really desecrated Dungeon Keeper. IIRC it was so filled up with mobile game, microtransaction garbage you couldn't even dig blocks of dirt more than once a day without buying "gems".

Luckily we have War for the Overworld to pick up where they failed.

[-] calliope@retrolemmy.com 2 points 4 days ago

SSX series—? Err

[-] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 days ago

Oh no... not my sports IPs.

Anyway...

[-] misk@piefed.social 10 points 5 days ago

It would make sense to sell every IP they can piecemeal to get some return on this investment.

If I had to guess then Saudi (or MBS) wanted EA FC which can now return to being EA FIFA now with extra Ronaldo. Saudi have enough influence over FIFA via PIF to make this happen.

I’ll throw a few bucks your way if you promise to make a new road rash

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

Maybe just check out Road Redemption?

[-] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

Need For Speed for being anti authority? Honestly, I have been missing a new NFS game. The last one came out in 2022, and the longest wait between them since 1994 was 3 years… Definitely didn’t play them all, but the last two, Heat and Unbound, were surprisingly good.
