   Topic: EA acquires Digital Illusions
Posted: 02/October/2006 at 1:46pm |
So just got out of a lengthy briefing about EA's acquisition of Digital Illusions (DICE), the original developers of the Battlefield series (where EA served as the end-publisher); of course, we knew ahead of time but public disclosure was a no-no.
This happening just weeks before the launch of 2142, what are your thoughts? And more importantly, who here intends to get BF2142? The online beta was terribly buggy but they've fixed (most) things, I've played a semi-stable release and it's actually quite fun. And it runs much better than BF2, for those who felt they might have to upgrade yet again.
Thoughts? Crucify or worship EA? |

I will most likely be getting it. I didnt get a chance to play the online beta because I was waiting for my new PC and by the time it came it was already closed, but it looks very fun.

I'll try the demo.
It will take a lot (Spore) for me to give any of my money to EA.

Spore's up there, yeah. I'm also awaiting Splinter Cell 4: Double Agent and Rainbow Six: Vegas. I really dig Single Player stealth/special ops games.

Hehe yea, of course.  It's also made by Ubisoft. I like Rb6/SC because it's high tech, but I dig the middle ages setting as well. Just mentioned the other two because it's only a few more weeks! Can't wait!
Ubisoft definitely has its act together. |
