I like this quote:

 

""With Titanfall and Star Wars, EA has been a great development partner that supports us and doesn't interfere with our process for making games or studio culture."

[Tale]

People love to blame publisher for decisions that are oftentimes championed by the studio itself. I still can't get over Bioware's insistence that we use Bioware points for DLC back in the day, even after everyone else dropped points.

We'll see how they will not interfere T3 with all kind of ****ty MTX :-P

Shadows of the Damned is a good example of what EA can do:

 

Shadows of the Damned took 3 years to make and the game design had gone through significant changes (five design drafts in total). Originally, Garcia was going to start out shirtless and without a gun. From there, he would gradually acquire weapons along the way and purchase clothes at stores within the game. However, Grasshopper was pressured by EA to have Garcia start with a gun because, "westerners are about guns." In addition, Paula was originally designed as a little girl living in Garcia's gun and would hop around like a rabbit or flutter like a butterfly when her ability is needed; and this would lead to a prominent love story. Again, EA had these features removed because they did not understand the concept. EA informed Grasshopper that, "there's this thing called an elevator pitch in America, and if you can't tell your story in the length of an elevator ride, Hollywood won't use it." This forced Suda to completely scrap all of his initial ideas and had Johnson the talking Skull replaced Paula, and make the game a fairy tale like Lupin III's The Castle of Cagliostro or Princess Peach and Mario.

 

 

In July 17, 2012, Mikami expressed his dissatisfaction with the game stating that both he and Suda were disappointed with the end product.

 

"[shadows of The Damned] became a completely different game. That was a bit disappointing. I think Suda was unable to create the scenario he'd originally had in his head, and he rewrote the scenario several times. I think his heart was broken. He's such a unique creator, so it seems to me that he was not quite comfortable with making this game."

It feels a bit like Bloodborne.

[the_dog_days]

Well, it has ropes. (This is why I can't get excited about teaser trailers; they're way too vague.)

[injurai]

Well, this teaser was more of a "Hey we have this thing that exists!" Basically an acknowledgement to the fans that another one of the dark ****ed up games is coming. Imo this is what a teaser should be, an acknowledgement of somethings existence with enough information to tie it to a greater body of work.

[SonicMage117]

I would have rather had 10 seconds of gameplay, that way I could hear people pick apart all the things like UI or particle effects.

 

Instead, we'll get flooded with videos about what the fame game "didn't" have

[the_dog_days]

I understand that a teaser is only to peak interest (a 'watch here' post, so to speak), but that doesn't mean that I have to like them. In all honesty, I like teasers for sequels just fine because even if I didn't play the first StarCrawlers, I can look it up if StarCrawlers 2 gets a teaser and have a decent idea of what to expect.
