On the one hand I don’t want devs to lose their jobs(or anyone really) but there’s a part of me that’s enjoying watching EA have to eat its hands to survive.
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
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 ?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
