And the Star Wars game they were working on. EA claims another studio.

Dead Space 1 was the only good game to ever come out of that studio and that was about a decade ago. Nothing of value was lost here.

I'd say Dead Space 2 as well - but yea, weak portfolio overall.

In other words, welcome to "Star Wars Battlewatch" or a Star Wars Destiny Clone.

DS1 was fantastic. I also loved 2. Hardline was one of the worst games I have ever played.

I'd like to take this moment to say that the world needs a new Jedi Knight game that stays true to the originals.

From the blurb in the press release:
the title will be reshaped "to be a broader experience that allows for more variety and player agency, leaning into the capabilities of our Frostbite engine and reimagining central elements of the game to give players a Star Wars adventure of greater depth and breadth to explore."

Sounds more like Star Wars: Andromeda to me.

If they actually made a Star Wars Destiny clone that could be fantastic by comparison.

Dead Space was (is) still one of my favorite games of all time. The lore was so good.

Fuck you EA.

What? EA would never shut down a studio that was doing perfectly fine before they got their hands on them.

I picked up Hardline over a year and a half ago (or more?) for super cheap and still have not even got it to the title screen. Saw it recently on my system when I couldn't DL something due to lack of space, and was like wtf is this again? Hardline something?

So what you're saying is... free up those bytes?

With the reasons they gave for this shake up I don't think we're ever going to get any sort of Star Wars single player game that isn't a tacked on campaign for a multiplayer game that's riddled with loot crates and micro transactions.

While it's not as good as their earlier creations, Hardline isn't bad for what it is. It's probably the best made Battlefield single player campaign in the franchise and was worth the 5$ I paid for it.

I hope Anthem is awesome. Why do people just root for studios to fail, then complain about how there's no good games?

Bioware needs to die so the good devs can fuck off and reform together to make good games away from EA.
