Somehow I think most of the games cancelled or at least the majority are crappy Wii games(I hope anyway).

Fuck, Dead Space was great Sad

I did predict ea's downfall, this may be it. A shame it came when they increased game quality, strange, maybe people do buy more shit and have crappy taste.

Not at all surprising,ppl buy a lot of crap(and i'm not just talking about games)...
It is a shame indeed if Dead space 2 is cancelled as I loved the first one. Don't know if a partial reason for the cancel was poor reception of the wii version.

Well we know that the studio for skate 3 was among those said to be the hardest hit..
Hope skate 3 still comes, it's the only reason i still have a xbox 360.
Losing Dead space would suck to, i loved the first game, Mirrors edge was cool too but not as good as the other two mentioned.

Dead Space was a succesfull multimedia new IP. You don't kill already established IPs to make instead entirely new games.

For all we know a lot of the games that were canceled, could be games that they hadn't even announced yet, and they killed them in favor of making sequels.


Here's something EA's CEO said in February: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/57075

EA CEO John Riccitiello noted that "games with a 2 on them sell better" and have lower R&D costs.

No info on what 12 games ....grrr
How could they release this info and neglect to tell us what 12 games they canned or bother to put our fears to rest if some of the more sought after titles are safe..

No studios are being closed.

Games rumoured to be cancelled so far are:
- Mirror's Edge 2
- Madden Series
- Fifa Series for pc

Uh...no. There is no rumor that Madden is canceled. Are you high?

Or, do you mean for PC? Yeah, Madden is off PC for a few years, that's not news. It's been 2 years since the last Madden on PC.

less advertising in commercials - making a good games that will make good opinions will handle it. Good finished game will sell itself

Ah, to be young and naive. No, games with the production quality (and the investment that requires) that people expect nowadays cannot "sell themselves" on word-of-mouth alone. You seriously, seriously underestimate the importance of marketing. People don't get degrees in this shit, and spend millions on ad consulting agencies, for nothing.

Skate 3 is not cancelled, and ME2 and DS2 were never announced, and there is no word that potential sequels to either are in development and still going forward, or were in development, and have been axed.

I don't really get into MMOs that much, but I had a pretty good time in Warhammer Online (Mythic / EA) for a bit. Sad how that turned out. Not real happy to hear about all those people being fired, either.

As long as EA doesn't do anything negative to BioWare. Ever.

Based on the fact they are cutting whatever makes them the least cash, and they never stop telling us how that's PC games.
Back in your hole troll.

/ontopic: the Fifa series (PC) cut is almost 100% sure, since the latest version (due to his amazing ugliness) broke a negative record in terms of sales and driven out fans.

I thought madden and fifa were huge sellers. Dont know about madden for PC but Fifa has a pretty decent community and completely raped PES in sales.


Wrong.Last Madden for pc was 08!Series will be cancelled on console.EA says that the cost is huge for them in Madden.Game sells well for x360 but EA confirms loss.Fans of the game blame EA that game's on stall many years with no major improvements.
Fifa for pc is a joke and pc gamers buy PES.Fifa has a pretty decent community?Yes.Just visit the fifa 10 pc forum..Everyday there are more than 50 bans in the forum Very Happy


Sales are much higher for Fifa 10 than for the new PES. I wasn't talking about Madden for PC since that was discontinued a couple of years ago. I don't get why Madden is expensive. Yes the license but only new thing for Madden 10 is PRO-TAK as far as I know? pretty much same engine etc.

Well untill you actually support your postulates with sources other than the ones in your head I will wait and see Smile

There is always tons of idiots in any community, I wasn't referring to the quality of the players but the size of the community

When you say "downfall," that sounds like an expectation of them going out of business or something. EA has expanded and shrunk many times in it's history. It's just business.

Uh, it's pretty apparent. EA has not said that Skate 3 is canceled (and really, the game is only 6 months away), so until we know something more, there is no reason to think it is.

Seems like that article is conjecture. Soderlund said "You will see another Mirror’s Edge for sure," not, "ME2 is in development right now."

“You will see another Mirror’s Edge for sure. It’s just a matter of when that time is and what we do with it. We have a small team on it and I’m excited about what we do.”

ehh...i wouldn't be too excited about mirror's edge 2 anyway. part1 was done by DICE and it seems to me that EA pulled the same shit as jowood with gothic (after part 3), so as long as long as said "small team" isn't comprised of (ex-) DICE devs, an uninspired sequel would probably be the best case scenario Laughing
