w00, do gaming w Former Battlefield director doesn't "have anything positive to say about EA"

The last truly awesome battlefield was back when desert combat was a mod for battlefield 1942.

faceula,

2142 for me… I loved that game so so much.

MintyAnt,

Plus it had a sick title track

Does anyone anywhere have anything positive to say about ea?

TheAnonymouseJoker,

Old NFS games and other titles? That is a great positive.

But did it really earned that much money, considering that Arrowhead was working on this game for nine years ?

8,000,000 x 40 is 320,000,000. So they’ve made a few bucks.

A lot of the cost in purchasing a game goes to the publishers not the developers though

I’m still sure the devs got a couple bucks. At least a pizza party.

Pizza party attendance is mandatory and fun will be dealt out democratically

AProfessional,

Let’s hope Sony treats them well, it’s a huge success in their growing PC push.

"Former Battlefield director" meaning, worked on the upcoming Battlefield narrative. Had nothing to do with Battlefield before the franchise's death.

His real accolade was being the fucking Halo Creative Director at Bungie. Who writes these titles?

I suppose they wrote battlefield in the headline since it’s an EA franchise, but I totally see where you’re coming from. At least they mention halo directly after.

warm,

They make it sound like he was a big deal with the BF franchise at EA, but he really wasn't.

Yeah, you’re not wrong

Its fun! Running, explosions, bugs to squash…

Oddbin,

Ragdoll hilarity every game too. Great fun.

The guy has been with EA less than ten years. We’ve all known EA is a garbage company for 20 or more years. If you lay down with dogs…

Good, they’ve been on a tear of classic remakes here lately, and I hope the new engine System Shock was built from can be used to remake System Shock 2.

Anyone recommend a Bluetooth controller for Android? I just tried emulating a GB game for the first time, and remembered that I hate soft keys.

Chee_Koala,

The Xbox controller?

Bubs,

I second this. If you already have one (or even a ps5 controller) then they are a perfect choice. I imagine a switch pro controller would work too, and you get the bonus of having a nice controller for your switch.

If you don’t have one then 8bitdo is a safe choice

clay_pidgin,

I’ve got an xbox360 and a PS4 - nothing newer. I’ll have to buy SOMETHING, sadly. I do appreciate the suggestion ,though.

caseofthematts,

I’ve not tried it, but I’m sure if you can connect a PS5 controller, you can use your PS4 controller. Look it up and give it a shot!

clay_pidgin,

It seems that I can! Most excellent. Thank you.

Stovetop,

PS4 controllers use Bluetooth and can be paired with a phone.

clay_pidgin,

I assumed they were a proprietary 2.4ghz like the Xbox 360! Hot dog. Thank you.

deafboy,
@deafboy@lemmy.world avatar

Wasn’t support for them dropped basically everywhere recently due to an unfixable security bug in it’s bluetooth implementation?

SirAtomic,

I use an 8bitdo pro 2. Over kill, probably but it works with lots of devices. Phone, switch, computer.

clay_pidgin,

That looks like a good choice, thank you. I’ll see if I can sneak it past the wife.

yamanii,
@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

But there’s no support for the phone, how will you use it? Satelite controllers are the best for this.

kronarbob,

shop.8bitdo.com/…/8bitdo-mobile-clip-for-pro-2-bl…

There is a support for the pro 2.

Mango,

It’s not Bluetooth, but the Razer Kishi pro v2 is just absolutely wonderful! It even gives you a 3.5mm headphone port with a very capable amp!

clay_pidgin,

Huh, that’s neat!

Krrygon, (edited ) do gaming w Nightdive's acclaimed System Shock remake heading to consoles in May

Very cool! I had a blast playing it. Nice that it will be available to a broader audience soon

I suppose this just means that piracy of the Pizza Emulators themselves is going to pick up, unless there are better GB/GBA emulators for android out currently.

the DMCA and it’s anti-circumvention clause has been a blight on consumers, can’t even fix trains without getting sued.

ArmoredThirteen,

As someone currently working in QA, they might have a bunch of high priority tasks related to monetization or partnerships with legal obligations. QA for things the consumer sees only needs to be prioritized enough to keep the profits vs. outrage ratio in the green

NoneYa, do games w Nintendo emulator Pizza Emulators pulls its apps from Google Play store

Exactly what Nintendo was hoping for. I can’t blame the developers, though. But this sucks.

Old ass game systems where it’s practically impossible or expensive to get the physical games anymore, let alone the console, with some titles locked to those systems, never to be enjoyed again except through emulation.

mesamunefire,

Yep. If anyone is using emulators, I would suggest keeping a copy just in case this spills over to all emulators.

And if you do manage to acquire a physical copy Nintendo isn’t go to see any of the money you spent on it anyway
