It’s going to be such a hack job with this takeover.

    They always butchered games. What you’re remembering are the games made by studios that EA purchased, made before they were gutted for IP.

      I’ll never forgive them for killing the Dungeon Keeper franchise when they bought Bullfrog. That was such a great game. Even today, I still play the original DK which came out in the 90s.

        Yea. There have been a few spiritual successors that are pretty good, but none match the raw… villainy? No crazy, hyperstylized parody of itself, just pure calm confidence from the narrator while you play the bad guys in an otherwise normal fantasy setting? It’s always great when a game just goes for it, and DK nailed it.

      I could have sworn this one early mech game was made by EA (early/ mid 90s) Ultrabots in NA. Nope they just published it. I had a ton of fun with it but guess they mostly produced even if they owned the studio. Unsure in that case but we know how EA works. So appreciate you making me check that cause in my head they made some grear games I played not just published them. I’m sure their earlier days they must have but didn’t look.
