If EA took over *blank*

[Terminate421]

If EA had the ability to take over the Halo games......

There would be:

Iron Sights
Chest High Walls
COMPLETELY Recharging health instead of the genius hybrid of shields and health
No Vehicles
Customizable Weapon Classes
2 hour Campaign
DRM
Online Pass
$20 Dollar Map Packs
Master Chiefs face would be revealed (At the begining of the game)
The game must sell over 600 Billion units and score a 101 on Metacritic

THQ collapses and EA swallows up Relic. We get Company of Heroes: Modern Warfare after Company of Heroes 2 in order to compete with Activision, despite being an RTS.

Dawn of War 3 is written by Matthew Ward and C.S Goto.

 

[Charli]

If EA took over a kids lemonade stand I'd still shudder at this point.

...So yeah . Same result.

 

[SonOfVoorhees]

EA have money.....why blame EA? Blame the game companies that accept the money with the strings attached. Me personally, dont care, EA can buy whatever game they wish to. I never keep a game more than a week anyway.

But at least there would be a Half Life 3! (Yes there was a HL2EP3 but Valve got bored with episode gaming after ep2) So all companies are guilty of bullshit. Thing is, as a consumer, you have the power. Dont buy the DLC or those games that are bullshit. But people do and thus the bullshit continues.....spend $15 on a map pack, every map pack will be $15.

If EA took over Gamefreak

The same Pokemon game released every year, but with a few minor changes, such as different characters, Pokemon, and region. There would be a spinoff sometimes, and fans would buy it every year, regardless. People would complain that the only good one was the first one, while disregarding all newer ones.

So, basically, it would be exactly the same as it is right now.


OT: EA swallows up Konami. In an attempt to broaden appeal, the next Metal Gear Solid game removes all stealth elements entirely, Solid Snake is brought back in, magically young again, and the shooting mechanics have been changed to be more akin to normal first-person shooters. Also, half of the exposition is removed entirely and cut-scenes spontaneously stop in the middle if they run over five minutes in length.

Silent Hill... well, I don't think even EA can ruin that series any further than it's already fallen.

Contra is changed to be a cover-based first-person shooter.

Castlevania games are all made based around the example Lords of Shadow made.

I see what you did there.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Hell, have you played DA:O, remember that dude named Zevran (I think that was his name), he was much worse than Traynor or Cortez.

that's kind of funny..I played as a female and I actually had no Idea Zevran liked men untill I read it on the internet..I just took him as a womaniser

Same with me. Even when I played as male characters I had no idea he was supposed to be gay. Of course I didn't really talk to him all that much. *shrug*

 

[Hagi]

I'd stop wasting my time. Guy hates Mass Effect, obviously. If it was in Mass Effect then it's bad. Steve and Traynor were in Mass Effect, as such they're horrible characters.

OT: EA takes over Bethesda. Fallout 4 becomes a cover-based linear shooter with a streamlined inventory and simplified stats. Power armour is not included in the game and requires either a pre-order or a $10 day-1 DLC.

 

[Lt._nefarious]

If EA took over Rovio...

Angry Birds: The Revenge of the Resurrected Grey and Brown Shooter. You'd play as Sgt.Smith and Pvt.Red and would join the Angry Birds unit of counter terrorism. It would be like the battle ship film as in it would have only a very small connection the the original title.

 

[Chalacachaca]

Naughty Dog, Uncharted for all plataforms! and throw out that Amy Hennig, every franchise she touches turns to unsellable (Legacy of Kain, need I say more?).

AHAHAHHAHAHAHA OH MAN

Love your satire XD

xD

Even though the description fits Activison more..

 

[Wintermoot]

Konami
Simon Belmont fights terrorists and the Vampire Killer is a gun now
power ups are DLC
games are released every half-year and are FPS,s

Contra fights just soldiers now and Red Falcon is now Al Quaida/Soviets/generic soldier dudes
no aliens

DDR is a FPS now

the Konami code is a $120 DLC and with the effect costing $40

I see what you did there

 

[Tiddles]

The Mana games - Now with online multiplayer.

That could actually be really interesting.

An action rpg where all of your party members are real players. If done well, co-op could be a breath of fresh air in the increasingly stale jrpg genre.

Then again, we're talking EA, so ...

Hmm I tend to think the key to JRPGs (and part of why they're partially stagnant... ok mostly stagnant) is their over-reliance on character archetypes which MP would disrupt but I'm not sure they could replace it with a really good plot as it's EA.

 

[Phlakes]

...Really? Not only did someone think this should exist, but it got to three pages?

I guess that time I'll be taking off for the ME3 Extended Cut might be a little longer than I expected.

Seriously. I feel like I'm back in elementary school here.

you realize it's all jokes and fun in here..right? No one is actually suggesting that EA take over anything. just a "what if.." type scenario.

OT: most of the good ones have been suggested in here, but i'll suggest one:

EA acquires naughty dog-

Uncharted 4: Drake's Space Treasury
-Buy the Thief edition, get more cutscenes and an addition gun that the enemies already use for 15 dollars!
-must have online connection to play, 20 dollars for co op seperate purchase
-must have facebook/twitter/myspace accounts to start game, using all profiles to chart your playtime and messages.
-Ending Concludes with Drake suggesting you to buy the DLC if you want the full ending mission!

 

[OpticalJunction]

If EA takes over bethesda, future elder scroll games will be 1/4th their normal size with some areas blocked off and sold as day 1 DLC. Multiplayer will be shoved in despite NOBODY ever asking for it. Oh and you'll be permanently connected to Origin and be shown ads for new outfits/weapons as you play along.

 

[Jolly Co-operator]

EA buys my school. I now have to pay $10 to unlock the second half of my textbook.

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

That is EVIL.

Even worse I can see them doing it.

 

[The_Lost_King]

COMPLETELY Recharging health instead of the genius hybrid of shields and health

No Mass Effect 3 had combo of shields/biotic barriers and health. Other than that pretty much.

Ea buys Bethesda: The Elderscrolls games are released every year and are turned into shooters to "Broaden their appeal". They only sell 10,000,000 copies and EA wanted 10,000,100 so they shut them down.
