    sapphirecommunity.com Sapphire is one of the longest-living and most famous communities on Bungie, with a history spanning over six years (this is not our first forum!), millions of posts, and so many in-jokes we had to create our own history archive to help us remember them all. Then we got tired of Bungie mistreating private groups and made our own website. Come and see what has made Sapphire the choice hangout for thousands of people since 2009 at sapphirecommunity.com

EA selected to make new Star Wars games

[url=http://starwars.com/news/electronic-arts-selected-for-multi-year-agreement-for-the-future-of-star-wars-gaming.html]EA has been chosen by Lucas Film to in a multi year agreement to make future star wars games on the console, PC, mobile, and tablets. The development and publishing teams at EA will collaborate with the creative teams at Lucasfilm. As part of the agreement, EA studio teams DICE (Battlefield series) and Visceral (Dead Space series) will join BioWare (Mass Effect series, Star Wars: The Old Republic) in the development of new Star Wars games.[/url] This is very good news due to EA's impressive track record of making high quality games and embracing new ideas to create breakthrough games that explore new concepts. said nobody ever.................

  • I don't really see how this is anything but good news. When Lucas Arts went under, I said that it could be a good thing because they hadn't done anything worthwhile in a long time and this could be an opportunity for good Star Wars games to be made again. DICE, Visceral and BioWare are basically the three most capable developers EA have. And also note that: [quote]While EA studios will develop for the core Star Wars gaming audience, Disney Interactive will focus on delivering new Star Wars games for casual audiences on mobile, social, tablet, and online gaming platforms.[/quote]What does that tell us? EA is tasking their better developers with making proper Star Wars games while Disney retains the rights to more casual games. Let's be honest, EA is an awful company, but they publish some good games. This is why I think Star Wars is in better hands now than it was when Lucas Arts was in control. EA's issue has never been about publishing bad games, it's been about using terrible business practices. So while it's not an ideal situation, it's probably a considerably better situation than it was before.
