Titanfall 2 was a masterpiece. The last PvP game I actually enjoyed.

It was so damn good. One of those games where I paid for all the DLC just because I wanted more of it and I know how EA operates. Too bad Apex seemed to kill off that hope.

RIP Vince, you made an indelible mark on the industry and will forever be remembered.

Jackcooper,

Oh hi

FilthyHands,

Look, a Pilot! Now the odds are in our favor!

Alcyonaria,

Check out diesel knights

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Yep and Titanfall 3 is definitely never happening now

First, I’m sorry for all the people who will miss him, which includes a lot of lemmings. And I’m sorry for both him and his passenger, it’s a painful way to go.

But Angeles Crest Highway is notorious for Ferraris and Lamborghinis speeding crazily while fans film them, zooming past people who are just trying to get safely up and down the mountain.

In real life, dead is dead.

At least they didn’t hit another car. And the burning Ferrari didn’t fall down into a ravine, potentially sparking a wildfire and/or putting rescuers at risk retrieving the bodies.

SkunkWorkz,

Yeah he was definitely speeding inside the tunnel. There is a video of the crash and the road slightly turns to the left after the tunnel. And he couldn’t even make that turn. Crashed right into the barrier with the right side of the car.

He was a very, very humble person

….proceeds to crash Ferrari while racing and showing off.

wrecklessly driving in his ferrari, also killing the other passanger.

tigeruppercut,

wrecklessly

It was actually the exact opposite. Could even call it wreckfully

Well bless my cotton socks. I thought you were making a joke, luckily I googled it before posting, TIL.
“Reckless depriving driving* wrecks the car”

frongt,

Doesn’t seem to be deprived of wrecks at all.

mrgoosmoos,

Are you fucking serious?? I was just thinking about how he made BF6 super good (when it fucking works) when he got hired to work on it.

I have really hard time feeling anything about this. In the video it seems like he is driving over the speed limit coming out of the tunnel. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I understand that losing somebody close to you hurts and i hope all the good for his family and people close to him and hopefully they get to mourn in peace without media tearing the case open, but personally i cant but think rich dude does stupid rich dude things and paid the price.

Sorry in before hand if i offended somebody.

no, seems like a pretty level-headed response. it’s a tragedy of his own making.

dukemirage,

Sorry in before hand if i offended somebody.

I‘m 100% with you, but if you say something like this you don’t really mean it and consequently shouldn’t say it.

MrFinnbean,

Sorry if i offended you.

dukemirage,

no need you didn’t, just slightly annoyed. merry Christmas

he will be greatly missed, condolences to his family members

masterspace, do gaming w Vince Zampella, video game developer behind 'Call of Duty' franchise, killed in Ferrari crash

Damn, that sucks.

The studio head of Modern Warfare (all ghillied up), Titanfall / Titanfall 2, and Apex Legends. The guy clearly had an eye for talent and knew how to make a memorable game. RIP.

Here’s the video: …gravitywell.xyz/…/qsVaJaqwFTkCMk3n22aejN

Good riddance, I say.

Ok_imagination,

**NSFW also the ad before was a porn ad Also at least he only killed himself it seems. Doesn’t look like anyone else was involved, which is nice

snowsuit2654,

The article says a passenger was ejected from the car and died at the hospital. The video seems to show people dragging the passenger away from the flames.

It’s pretty nsfl honestly.

W3dd1e,

At the reverse-Pornhub.

Instead of giving you time to make sure the sound is off, it plays the porn ad first.

dubyakay,

I did not get an ad.

@RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world avatar

Lol, nsfw that link. Didn’t expect a porn ad up front.

This one really hurts. He is one of my biggest inspirations and I feel like the industry has lost one of the last remaining greats :/

His legacy will absolutely live on through his work. Fly high.

I had no connection to him, nor do I truly care, but … really? Ferrari in the hed? Holy framing, Batman. A simple “car accident” would have acquitted itself just fine.

This is like the hyperdetailed “get the name of the dog” that a certain generation expected. Fluffy doesn’t matter, and neither does a Ferrari.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

I think it was too show that “oh he was rich and probably caused the accident himself by driving too fast”

Cause you know… if you have a Ferrari you’re probably going to drive fast

Fuck this editor

theangriestbird,
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

Based on the rest of the story…it kind of seems like he was driving his Ferrari way too fast.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Yeah I know but they didn’t need to rub it in. He’s dead now

theangriestbird,
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

I don’t think it’s exactly “rubbing it in.” I think it’s appropriate for NBC to point out this small detail in the headline, as it is a neutral detail which nevertheless colors the incident in a more appropriate light. Just saying “car crash” would lead more people to believe he was t-boned or something (most people only read the headline), when the truth seems to be that he made a very dangerous decision which unfortunately led to his death and the death of his passenger. Hopefully more Ferrari owners get the message, and they remember Vince before they decide to gun it down Angeles Crest Highway.
