Judge Hades Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Did you not read the first post in this thread? I am talking about John Riccitiello, the former CEO of Electronic Arts.
alanschu Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) On the plus side it seems my chances of getting a 16 month internship there is better than ever. (w00t) Edited November 3, 2005 by alanschu
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 On the plus side it seems my chances of getting a 16 month internship there is better than ever. (w00t) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> congrats. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
alanschu Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I still have to wait for their placements to open up. Though on the plus side, based on my grades and resume, Electronic Arts has requested a telephone interview with me (according to my school's internship coordinator). I wouldn't mind doing an internship at Electronic Arts either (it's in Vancouver so it'd still be an easy move for me), but the one that they are interested in for me is only an 8 month internship starting in January. I'm interested in the 16 month ones that open up in May.

GhostofAnakin Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Hahaha Volourn gets his wish. EA's former CEO will now be the top dog for BioWare. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
Volourn Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Alanshu, I was referring tot he end of their independnece. Not the end end. "EA's former CEO will now be the top dog for BioWare." Nope. He's a partner of BIO's. BIG difference. Not to mention he's not EA anymore 'cause he wans't good enough. Hahahaha! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Judge Hades Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I hate EA and anything related to it. I refuse to buy any EA game or game associated by EA. I guess that includes Pandemic and Bioware now.

Judge Hades Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Yes. Former EA president is indeed connected to the swill that is EA. I haven't bought an EA developed or published game since Ultima 9.
Volourn Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 "I hate EA and anything related to it. I refuse to buy any EA game or game associated by EA" 1. Youa r egonna buy any game with a BIO logo. heck, you bought an x-box just to play JE and you "HATE" consoles. 2. EA has nothing to do with this. Nothing. Oh yeah, I used to work at x place and then bought y company, x place is involved. Hahaha. That is silly disucssion. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Plano Skywalker Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 it actually makes sense. BioWare has been focusing on the console/action RPG market of late anyway. A larger company, with improved economies of scale, can crank out alot more of that than an independent company. it's all about duplicating what works and making more money.
GhostofAnakin Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I hate agreeing with Volo, but he's right, Hades. You'll buy it. Or at the very least your "friend" will lend you a copy.

Judge Hades Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) No, I dislike consoles and that opinion has changed due to the current generation of consoles. They have gotten better since the days of the Sega Genesis, for the most part. EA has just gotten worse and worse, and that guy was part of the problem. There is no way in hell would I support something like this. Like I said, I haven't bought a EA title since U9 and that isn't going to change anytime soon. Edited November 3, 2005 by Hades_One

Ellester Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I'll put a $100 down that Hades will buy Dragon Age Life is like a clam. Years of filtering crap then some bastard cracks you open and scrapes you into its damned mouth, end of story. - Steven Erikson
Volourn Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 "it actually makes sense. BioWare has been focusing on the console/action RPG market of late anyway." This statement is awesome. BIO is focusing on action/console RPGs yet tehir prime game in development is DA for the PC which is a party based RPG. Not to mention their continued support of NWN a PC RPG. Yeah, keep posting. I need a laugh. You sound just like the whiners on the JE, and ME boards. :D DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Not to mention their continued support of NWN a PC RPG. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> DA is about keeping PC-platformers at bay...some red meat for the wolves. The JE franchise and, I suspect, the ME franchise, will be alot of fun even if they are action-RPGs.
Ellester Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Make it $1000 and I'll take that bet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Even for a thousand dollars you Life is like a clam. Years of filtering crap then some bastard cracks you open and scrapes you into its damned mouth, end of story. - Steven Erikson
Judge Hades Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Think on this, Volourn. There recent titles have been one released PC only game, a cross platform game, 1 console only game. Now they only have one console only game they just announced and one PC game they announced so early that it feels like Duke Nukem Forever.
