Games EA and SEGA have destroyed?
- Thread starter GIBURROWS
- Start date
Codemasters ruined Operation Flashpoint not EA or Sega. I wouldn't say its been ruided either, as Arma 3 is an awesome game!
There was no dev selling out. As far as I remember, SI split from EIDOS just before SCi bought out the money troubled EIDOS. Part of that break away deal was that SI kept their code and database and copyrights. While EIDOS kept the name "Championship Manager" and the UI.
So they never sold out, as they retained all their original code and data. Sega/Square had to design a new engine to power the new Championship Manager.
In all essence, Football Manager is still the original Championship Manager games.

This is 100% correct and Sega more or less leaves SI alone to get on with it. Total War is a little different but I don't really blame that on Sega either, I think that's mnore to do with over-ambition on the part of CA while not focusing on the core-gameplay enough.

Pga tour. (The new one coming out might be decent though and they should release it on the PC)
Fifa will be next unless they get the finger out and revamp the game for the better ...

What?????????????? This has surely got to be one of the dumbest posts I have ever seen.
Im a sucker for the megadrive sonic the hedgehog releases, and no matter how hard i try to like the 3D games, they will never capture that magic again. The soundtrack on sonic 3 and knuckles was flawless also, i think soundtracks are overlooked nowadays and expect people to just love the game because of a name...

Tiger Woods. No longer any offline co-op on the same PC, just to try and sell more licences and make people game on the internet.
No longer can people get their mates round for a round of beer-induced PC golf on the sofa unless they stick to TW07 etc.

It seems a lot of people in this thread are suffering from a big dose of nostalgia. We all know that games are terrible these days and they were so much better years ago.

Try and be specific about whose particular points you're disagreeing with otherwise you're just being overly emotive. Nobody's actually said that games are terrible these days. There are some great games, but it's true for example that EA have destroyed Tiger Woods.

While I'm not disputing that some games are worse off than they used to be, it doesn't help with people saying a series is destroyed just because they do not like the new games. Aa for Tiger Woods, didn't EA always have the license? Could easily be the developers who are running out of ideas.
Really? I thought you could return any game on Origin within 24 hours (or within 7 days if you've not played it) for a full refund.
I think a lot of them got better before they got worse. Theme Hospital and the first 2 Dungeon Keeper games where released by Bulldog after they were bought by EA. As was C&C Red Alert 2 and C&C Generals after they bought Westwood.
You could also argue that PopCap have done well after being bought.
