Didn't EA kill Viseral Studios?

[Knud den Store 🧙‍♂]

And now they "remake" the title through another studio? Is that the correct sequence of events?

[I'm the walrus]

most of viseral studio devs were transferred to other ea studios
many just left

Not only that, my good man. They are remastering what is already a legend in it's own right, selling it for the price of a full game. Play the legend instead for few bucks. I am sad for this shady phenomenon, engaging in today's world everywhere one goes through the gaming industry; the copypasta, rehashing, overpriced remasters. Like the devious and predatory Early Access posing for "your best friend's link to the devs, wink wink" isn't enough. But well, there are these games to ignore and boycot for me, and also there will be always some new, good, creative stuff with heart to folow and look forward to.

I suppose I am just getting old and bitter about something. But then again, am I? With movies remasters, it's a different take. With games remasters - 59.99 and dozens of hours that can go bad or good. It's half about money and half about a trust. I find the trust part strenued more are more by things like this. But hey, what else is new, right :D Peace out.

Before shutting down Visceral, they transferred valuable experienced employees to their other studios and fired the rest incompetent ones, could be worse

Yup, which is why I refuse to buy any EA product.

[stargit]

it should also be mentioned that EA created Visceral or to be precise Dead Space 1 was made by EA Redwood Shores which got renamed into Viceral after the success of DS1. so it is not a case of EA buying and then killing a studio like they have done many times.

They just wanted the talent to E.A bought it and quickly mothballed it.

yeah it was an EA founded studio, unlike maxis and westwood and others that elude me right now which were bought and then closed.

It really doesn't make a difference, the studio got axed through the same pathway as all the others. Executive meddling killed them. "Make product in such a way because we say so. Oh no, it sold poorly because you did what we told you to! You're to blame for this, we're closing you down."
