EA closes Pandemic (Destroy All Humans!, Mercenaries, Full Spectrum Warrior) - Games

I thought that Pandemic merged with bioware years ago.

FUCKERS! NO! I liked Pandemic!

THEY FUCKED UP MERCS 2 FOR PS2 Good riddence! :frown:

Good. They did a shit job with Mercs 2 and completely abandoned it after it shipped.

[QUOTE=DarkCybrid;18423670]THEY FUCKED UP MERCS 2 FOR PS2 Good riddence! :frown:[/QUOTE] Yeah, god damn them for half-assing a port to a console that was a generation behind what the majority of their consumers were using.

Shit, that was unexpected.

Aw, I loved Destroy all Humans and Mercenaries D:

Mercs 2 was good. But I loved BF2 ( not battlefield you inbreds). I bought it for psp and PS2

Thank god, when I read this I was like 'NO! What about The Saboteur?', until I read it's still being finished.

God damn it EA

[QUOTE=GravyKing;18422507]Now we won't have SWBF III. [b]EDIT:[/b] I've always wondered what it would look like on modern consoles and PCs.[/QUOTE] That doesn't matter as Lucasarts holds the rights to Battlefront. Another dev could be making it right now unannounced.

fuck first westwood now pandemic?

Star Wars Battlefront 3 was being developed by Free Radical (Time Splitters) but then they got bought by Crytek (Crysis). [quote]On January 15, 2009, gameplay footage was leaked from a Free Radical in-house showing from November 2008. It showed seamless ground to space maps, new units, maps, and faster overall gameplay, and was branded with the Free Radical Design logo.[13] The leaked footage and pictures revealed that the engine of Battlefront III was graphically far superior to its predecessors. Furthermore the footage featured cutscenes and appeared to place more emphasis on storyline elements while still retaining the trademark style of gameplay. The footage was later pulled on IGN after Lucas Arts demanded it be removed, being "the intellectual property of Lucasfilm and [has] been posted without permission."[14] The footage bears striking resemblance to the Lucasarts' spin-off project, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron, in its land-to-space transitions and character cast.[15][/quote]

Who cares? Destroy All Humans 1, Mercenaries 1, and the Battlefront games were the only good games they ever made. Everything else absolutely fucking sucked and I regret buying.

I just wish they could've at least released Saboteur, hopefully redeeming themselves for Mercenaries 2 and the last Destroy All Humans.

[QUOTE=Hemroid_Man;18424272]fuck first westwood now pandemic?[/QUOTE] Westwood sucked

[QUOTE=Kung Fu Jew;18424330]Westwood sucked[/QUOTE] Prepare for boxes.

[QUOTE=Warren Holzem;18423270]...and nothing of value was lost.[/QUOTE] Wow I was going to post the same thing, besides the original mercenaries and BFII I never bothered with their games, nothing was worth spending money on. Sabateur looked pretty good and as long as it's going to be finished one way or another I don't care what they do to Pandemic. Not like EA isn't a competent company anyway, they've been doing great recently.

Pandemic was one of my favourite studios ever. Star Wars Battlefront II was one of my favourite games of all time, and Battlefront III looked fucking incredible. God fucking damn it EA.

FUCK God damn, I fucking loved Mercs 1, and though Mercs 2 could definately have been better, this means that they won't have a chance to make Mercs 3 and hopefully go back to some of the stuff that made the first one so great :crying: Farewell sweet prince...

I just raged. Beyond Raging.

how can they close a studio called "Pandemic" when the swine flu is still going on?

Mercs 2 was the worst game I've ever purchased, but Star Wars Battlefront 2 was the best game ever.

My constant hate for EA seems to grow by the minute.

Well, looks like this is it Killing myself. :emo:

[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;18424851]Mercs 2 was the worst game I've ever purchased.[/QUOTE] Not the worst - that goes to Dangerous Water(What was I thinking?), it was fun but they completely abandoned a shitty port.

Damn it. And I've never completed either FSW. EA have once again let a great developer go down the pan.

Were they the ones who made the new Destroy All Humans? (Path of the Furon, Big Willy Unleashed) If they were, good riddance. The only reason I played those games was because of the ragdoll and sometimes amusing story. But, mainly the ragdoll.

[QUOTE=dutchah;18424098]Thank god, when I read this I was like 'NO! What about The Saboteur?', until I read it's still being finished.[/QUOTE] This. I was really worried for a second. Battlefront will be missed though.
