This post blew my mind. Call of Duty is the big name in traditional gaming but I definitely overlooked how important Candy Crush was to this deal.

I still think it’s “we desire to have Game Pass on Playstation to keep Call of Duty there. Oh no go? Well we tried.”

Beat the final boss on Death's Door. Definitely a "git gud" fight, although not impossible. And then I found out that the game continues after that with optional post-game stuff, which is neat.

"Existing agreements" is very unsubtle wordplay. Platform agreements between pubs and first-party are almost on a by-title basis.

My frustration level with Halo is increasing. I’m bouncing back and forth between Gold 4 and 5, and have been noticing more cheating. It’s bad enough that melee is simply broken, but getting shot through walls? Come on.

Then I get matched with a bunch of low golds and silvers and we’re up against a group of platinums and an onyx. What. The. ****.

That little **** is the reason I had to re-run the last mission. Couldn’t finish with that ending.

Star Wars gamers, get ready for new galaxy- and genre-spanning adventures.

Electronic Arts and Lucasfilm Games announced today that they will join forces once again for three new Star Wars titles: the next title in the Star Wars Jedi franchise, a strategy game, and a first-person shooter, all currently in development from Respawn Entertainment.

Shepherding the next installment in the Star Wars Jedi story is game director Stig Asmussen of Respawn; Peter Hirschmann, game director, who has a long and accomplished history with Star Wars, leads the development of Respawn’s Star Wars first-person shooter. A new studio helmed by games industry veteran Greg Foertsch will create the new Star Wars strategy game, developed through a production collaboration between Respawn and Bit Reactor. Respawn will produce the new Star Wars strategy game while Bit Reactor leads development of the title.

“We are excited to continue working with the superbly talented teams at Respawn,” said Douglas Reilly, VP, Lucasfilm Games. “They have demonstrated excellence in telling epic Star Wars stories along with best-in-class gameplay across different genres and we are looking forward to bringing more amazing experiences to the galaxy far, far away.”

“Building on the previous successes of our EA relationship, this new collaboration highlights the trust and mutual respect shared between the world-class teams at EA, Respawn, and Lucasfilm Games,” said Sean Shoptaw, SVP, Walt Disney Games. “Fostered by the expertise and passion within each team, we will create thrilling original games for diverse audiences across the Star Wars galaxy.”

“Working with Lucasfilm Games on a new FPS in the Star Wars galaxy is a dream come true for me, as this is a story I have always wanted to tell,” said Hirschmann. Hirschmann previously worked as VP of development at LucasArts, and was executive producer on the original Star Wars Battlefront games.

Vince Zampella, group GM and founder of Respawn, will oversee this new phase of EA’s relationship with Lucasfilm, building on Respawn’s award-winning history in game development and expertise in telling compelling Star Wars stories.

“We are huge fans of Star Wars and we are thrilled to work with Lucasfilm Games on new titles that we have wanted to make for years,” said Zampella. “If you want to make great Star Wars games, you should come join us on our journey.”

Respawn made Fallen Order. Give them the IP, let them make a sequel to Fallen Order, or another game in the "Jedi" series taking place during a different time period and let them develop a FPS from the ground up.

Dice not getting any SW series games tells you all you need to know about how EA feels about that dev team right now. Best to ignore Dice completely and avoid talking about anything 2042 related.

My wife somehow didn't know that super game boy was a thing on the SNES. When I told her I could get a super game boy and she could play her gameboy games on the SNES her eyes got real big haha. I ordered one and told her it should be here by the end of the week.

EA's quarterly shareholder call is next Tuesday afternoon. That should be interesting, to say the least.

"DICE" isn't really a thing any more. But Ripple Effect already has two other titles in their pipeline.

The OG DICE team that made the old Battlefields have moved on to their new studio, and are working on a game for 2023. The current iteration of DICE is dog poop.

Not my highest kill rate, but definitely my highest KDR. I’ve been playing for an hour or so every night, and I swear I wind up in the same two maps 90% of the time - Streets and Live Fire. Really hope we get new maps soon in Ranked.

The switch is going to have to run a super downgraded version of the Show..it doesn't have near the power needed to run it at full tilt.

That's awesome. I don't have a Switch but Nintendo seems to always struggle with 3rd party support.
