It's due to EA fuckery but Criterion games went from making the Burnout Series to Battlefront 2

Drippy-goo-yay, mother-gunker!
-Infinity Ward, which went from developing great games like CoD2/CoD4/MW2 to developing subpar games like MW3/Ghosts/AW because most of their best devs left to make Respawn Entertainment
-Neversoft, which went from making all the good Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games to co-developing the subpar post-MW2 IW CoD games
-Raven Software, which went from making decent games like the Heretic series and the last actually good Wolfenstein game (2009) and Singularity, to co-co-developing the subpar post-MW2 IW CoD games
-Respawn Entertainment, which has had most of its most promising senior devs that made the first two Titanfall games good move back to Infinity Ward in recent months

? i heard the official f1 series was pretty good these days, codemasters do that right. plus dirt rally which definitely was good

Perhaps I’m being too harsh but GRID 2 and DIRT 4 were fairly dumbed down. DIRT 4 was supposed to get DLC and they just forgot about it fairly quickly. DIRT rally was a return to the olden days but we may not see that again

I'm premourning respawn because theyre going to release a single star wars game now and then get shut down, if they're lucky.

EA might do em even worse.

to be fair they only did the spaceship flying in battlefront 2 which is the only remotely fun part about the game

carving up large chunks of a giant game to hand over to your many studios means your game and publishing house is too drat big and theres no overall direction to the game

It’s weird cuz I think technically both Activision and Bethesda own the rights which means it can’t be sold anywhere. You can find the 360 version for pretty cheap though.

As a result of low sales figures (only 100,000 copies were sold in its first month), Activision laid off employees from Raven Software.[35][36] The game has been unavailable digitally on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, or Steam since 2014 for unknown reasons.
