Even though all of us at office (and people the world over too) think Gears of War rocks, EA apparently isn't too impressed with Epic's thirds person 'tactical' shooter as they feel it isn't innovative enough. This coming from people who churn out a million Sims/NBAs/NFLs etc. per year strikes me as a bit umm... weird (we journalists unfortunately have to maintain some sort of decorum here).
Anyway, here's what Electronic Arts Montreal general manager, Alain Tascan had to say on Gears of War, "What is Gears of War? I mean Gears of War brings nothing in terms of innovation to the shooter... Like, zero. Only two very brave UK-based journalists said, 'You know what, Gears of War is a great game but it's like what Quake was a few years ago.' When you go to metacritic and you see a 96 for Gears of War, then you read the critics saying, 'Okay, storyline—there's none, gameplay is not innovative...' Then I say, why did they give this 96? They were blown away by the high quality of the graphics... Myself, I prefer something more creative."
Let’s wait and watch and see just how innovative Army of One actually is.
In what way was bf2142 innovative? It was the same thing with a different setting and also the titan mode is like a little improvised onsluaght mode form ut 2004
