These guys have been on fire for their past few games, makes me very optimistic for this one.

[–] MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org 5 points 5 days ago

Yeah so far Hazelight is only getting better and better

[–] Cris16228@lemmy.today 3 points 4 days ago

EA 😮‍💨

Looking good. So... does this mean Splitscreen ? Sure looks like it.

[–] simple@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

Their other games can be played either split screen or online, so yes

[–] Jyrdano@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Their last two games were made as primarily coop games, this one seems to follow the trend.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Hazelight has put out great games. Really looking forward to this one.

[–] Jyrdano@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

This looks awesome. My wife and I enjoyed the hell out of It Takes Two.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Looks good and I like the premise, but I'm well past giving EA a cent for "looks good and nice premise". I'm never gonna touch that stove again, cold or not.

[–] Meltrax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This isn't made by EA. These are the same people who made It Takes Two.

EA makes shit games themselves these days but their program for supporting smaller independent studios has resulted in some really great titles.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Is EA making money from this?

[–] NOOBMASTER@lemmy.ml -2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Doesn't the EA eula let them add lootboxes, microtransactions and whatnot even after the game is released?

The "EA Originals" that they have put out have mostly been fairly solid, Hazelight's games especially so.

Eternals of Aveum had its fair share of flaws, but it was a complete package.

Though, because it is EA, I cannot help but wonder if/when they'll pull the switcharoo

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Honestly, the switcheroo should be outright illegal. It's a complete betrayal of trust. It's theft of what was paid for to begin with.

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago

Never put it past EA to do so.
