Reimagine deez nuts.
only reimagination dice seems to do these days is trying to find ways to monetise instead of making a fun game
see: their battle royale fail, 6v6 mode they wasted time on that didnt even release, heroes in 2042, battle passes
Can’t even remember the last time I’ve played an EA game. Their games are just not great. Same with Ubisoft. I think studios just get too big to make anything decent after a certain point.
Well the get formulaic because it made money. And followed a successful formula. Breaking that and innovating is hard and risky.
Especially if the people making the game don’t understand their core audience.
Dice and EA are perfect examples of that with Battlefield. They had a good thing with graphics and whatnot and could have chosen to focus on engine optimization, scaling etc. Instead they chased the dragon of what other games were popular (like pubg, apex etc) and made a turd.
