Ah, the marketing department had to justify their existence, didn’t they?

with AI on the rise of course they do. In our sister company they now axed the whole marketing department and introduced their stupid idea to do everything with ai…

I assume they’ve already replaced the CEO with an AI before they replaced the workers, right? That should be the easiest to swap out because any AI generated mistakes would be caught by the people doing the work just like we’ve always done with CEO generated mistakes.

what do you think?

RogueBanana,

Downscaling as bad as it sounds, makes sense but to dissolve the entire department??? I am guessing someone on top thinks he can just ask chatgpt to make a photo with a shit prompt, post it on social media during his break and its gonna actually work.

avater,
@avater@lemmy.world avatar

that was his idea.

A month later they needed some UI designs so the CEO came with an urgent task to my team and I told him to fuck off and leave my team alone and that he should ask chat gpt for some designs…

EA can suck it.

The hand can be used to fondle the balls or tickle the asshole.

EarWorm,

Nah, I don’t think anything has made bigger strides towards justifying piracy than EA. Credit where credit’s due and all that.

After many conversations about how to represent this new chapter for Frostbite, we realized that starting from scratch wasn’t the answer. We wanted to preserve the best parts of who we already were, and for us, that meant keeping the Frostbite hand.

There are farmers growing food without which life is literally unsustainable making less than these people made for having multiple debates that essentially amount to "should the drawing still be a hand?", the way in which our society judges and assigns value is so fucking funny honestly

@avater@lemmy.world avatar

so what? Farmers farm and designers design and talk about design…just pick the job you want to do. Should I now feel bad that I’m a visual designer instead of a farmer ?

the logo sucks though…

BudgieMania,

Oh don't worry I'm not condemning the players, (I'm the first one in the line of absurd compensation compared to other jobs for what essentially amounts to writing "computer, do thing" in funny colors), I'm condemning the game. We are not to blame for navigating it in the best way for us, but I can't help to see some absurdity to it.

I feel you. My mom is a nurse, people like her deserve a shitload of money and not the people who are pushing pixels…but it’s the world we live and and we can always try to give back.

They made the logo more complicated and playfull. Is the long awaited counter-trend train to ultimate minimalism finally leaving the station? I certainly can’t wait!

It’s pretty cool how they documented the design change. I thought the 2013-2023 version looked the best but I gotta admit that the new one looks pretty slick when it’s combined with the cover art.

gsfraley,

I really agree. As quick as I am to be cynical about low-impact press releases from a conglomerate, I do find it interesting to read through design changes and the symbolic meaning in branding.

PunchingWood, do games w PC Features for Dragon Age: The Veilguard

It’s a little bit annoying that a lot of games are starting to heavily rely on frame generation to “fix” the performance for them.

I guess it’s supposed to offset the impact of ray tracing stuff, because it obviously eats a lot of the GPU power, but honestly this game doesn’t feel like it should be demanding that much because it’s visually alright, nothing mindblowing.

I will probably give it a shot though, I enjoyed the last Dragon Age but never finished it. I got a feeling this might end up similar for me.

deadcream,

Its recommended specs are very low actually, so it’s possible that it will run well without “ultra” graphics features.

It looks blurry like it hasn’t loaded properly.

RogueBanana,

You need HD Textures dlcs for that

simple, do games w Criterion Games joins EA Entertainment

Were they not owned by EA already?

Yea EA bought them in 2004, almost 20 years ago.
Took them 20 years to move them from EA to EA Entertainment?

AutoPastry, do gaming w [EA] Apex Legends™: Battle Pass Updates

Tldr: two passes per season (one per split), 60 tiers instead of 110, purchased with real money ($10 each) instead of apex coins.

CarbonatedPastaSauce,

Nah I’m good.

Such negative posts about this.

If you don’t want it, don’t buy it. It’s not pay to play. You can play the game just fine without spending a dime.

Oh and by the way, the reason you can play without spending a dime is because they monetize on people who are willing to spend money on it.

Again, if you want to spend money you can. If you don’t want to spend money, don’t.

Sure, but independent of whether we are spending money or not, we can critique their changes, no?

I just want arenas back…

Not that I’ve ever spent, or ever will spend, on Apex.

ParadoxSeahorse, do games w Announcing a new look and vision for EA's Frostbite engine

I really thought they were going to distance themselves from the unfortunate use of a hand to represent the name frostbite.

But no, just went and drew the fingers falling off.

Great work, guys.

scrubbles, do games w Hans Zimmer & Lorne Balfe will compose the soundtrack for Dragon Age: The Veilguard
!deleted6348 avatar

Man that sounds awesome, but also the composer for inquisition did a great job and I’m a bit disappointed they’re not coming back. So, maybe it’ll be great?

pycorax, do games w Apex Legends™: Battle Pass Updates

I mean you don’t have to buy them and it doesn’t make you lose out on anything in the game. I stopped bothering with it awhile back and I found the game much more enjoyable not having to bother with all these quests.

I only ever get it if I happen to play so much that it pays for itself already,this change just seems like it’s gonna make that happen even less.

Nothing about mod support or releasing the toolkit, like they did in DA:O.
