Rumour: EA Is Planning On Reviving An "Established IP"

I would LOVE for Dead Space to come to Switch. Having it portable would be excellent. Hope it’s true.

If it's Dead Space, what gives anyone the thought that EA would do right by the IP? 🤔

I got Ubisoft making a top notch Watch Dogs game before that happens..

Dead space sounds great, Hope its real.

Mass Effect Trilogy. Bring it over.

Now where's my VR Boom Blox sequel, EA? That's about the only thing that they could make that I would even somewhat care about, but it sure as heck isn't an established IP (Yet it somehow managed to get an official N-Gage demake that I really want to play at some point. How that happened, I will never know.)

Both string theory and the most empirical of results from modern astrophysics assure us that nothing can be extracted from the dead space in Android Wilson's eyes. And certainly not the Switch port of a new-old property.

I'm not even sure why we're discussing this, quite honestly.

Just found dead space extraction on wii, in a yard sale. The grainy picture quality (or lack of) matches perfectly the story. PS3 version was too clean !!

Dante ´s infero was good, if we dig that old back log

My Sims ??
The Sims 4 ??

I wonder what it will be; I would like a classic NFS or Burnout, but obviously they are still current; I would say Sim City, however, there is a mobile version, so I doubt it, but it would be good to see a return (sorry 2013, you unfortunately do not count as good ...);
Perhaps the Spin off of The Sims: My Sims, that, yes, it has years that there is nothing new from them, and I have looked forward to their return.
But, well, as mentioned, there are more EA games that many people want to return (Mass Effect, Dead Space), and well, we just have to wait what that franchise is.

Dead Space is a franchise I don't have high hopes in anybody reviving while bringing back what was great about it in the first place.

The current popularity of Resident Evil strikes a bit of hope for the Dead Space series having a focus on slower survival gameplay but I especially don't like the idea of "reimagining". The first two games in the Dead Space series aged quite well, even in the visuals department and Extraction was also great in its own right. Dead Space 3, as much hate as it gets, still had some pretty cool idea and expansion on the dark lovecraftian lore (I'm avoiding spoilers here).

If they're to reinvent the franchise I would rather them focus on a new story set in the same universe with perhaps some cameos from the originals. The story had a very definitive ending (depending on how you look at it) so it would be odd to continue Isaac's story on after Dead Space 3's DLC.

There MAY be a chance I'll look into it if the concept trailer would look like anything interesting. They're 'reviving' Mass Effect with a direct continuation after all. But hey, it's EA.

Dead Space would be amazing.
It is EA though, and it certainly is dEAd.
They certainly know how to kill a good developer.
Can't spell death without EA.

I hope they bring back Fifa, we haven't had a new game in like a year!

Star Wars, lol

Watch as they make it a ***** mobile game, in which they spend most of their presentation pushing.

Reviving implies it’s been stagnant or dead for awhile…. dead space would fit there I believe. But also by my logic, Sim City has been dead awhile too with only meh/crappy mobile…. I can’t even call em games….

I would love for Sim City SNES to come to NSO, and us also get a new Sim City - but it would be tough to compete with how well Skylines was done….

Finally my dream of a new SSX game is coming true.

Hush now, let me have this moment.

A dead space collection similar to that of bioshock would be very welcome on switch but SSX for me would be the dream. It was top of my list for hopes for E3 announcements that won’t happen 😂

So a remaster of the first game with micro transactions crowbarred into it. Seriously, how does EA attract hype lol?

Rumour: EA Is Planning On Ruining An "Established IP" will probably be closer

I think the title of this news should be "EA is reviving an old IP, but like normal doesn't think the switch is good enough"

I would love it if they made another Road Rash.

If they bring Dead Space PLEASE can they fix the asteroid sections. I finished the first one, found out there was a 2nd, and just stopped playing.

It’d be funny if it was Dead Space, because the only reason the Dead Space franchise needs reviving is because EA killed first, along with its dev studio.

But what ever case it’ll likely not come to the Switch, because remember when they brought Mass Effect Trilogy to the Switch?

Dead Space 1 was great, the second was ok but sometimes you’d get stuck at certain points if you’d saved your progress without enough ammunition then it was virtually impossible to proceed.
Would love to have all 3 on Switch though.

At this point, I'll take a re-release of the PS3 games (1+2 ONLY), no remaster required. EA hasn't gotten a red cent from me since DS3, so I'll be happy to just get teh first two games again on a modern console.

dragon age , but dont fck it up ? ehh idk

@IndoorHero I loved that game haha. I don't think I ever owned it but I can remember renting it from Blockbuster video.

A new entry in the Strike series would be superb. Or even an HD remaster of the 5 games for a collection.

Yesssssss, Dead Space on Switch would be great! And what about Dead Space: Extraction? But it's EA...... expectations are low....

EA won't port it to Switch anyway. They didn't give us Mass Effect. They aren't gonna give us something which is still running its course in the rumor mill.

Fun fact: everyone seems more anxious than excited. They either beat a dead corpse some more, or revive it into something the fans don't recognise. But well, a simple revival of Dead Space 1 (on Switch, obviously), giving us some barely recognisable dead corpses to blast and beat the limbs off of... I don't see any harm in that, at the right price... Or a fully controllable version of DS Extraction.

About time.

Probably won't be a Switch game.

@JasmineDragon Ya know, having the old ones on Switch really would be amazing actually.

Dead Space would be cool. I’d also be excited if it were:

Skate or Die
Wing Commander
Populous
Dune 2000

EA is the great satan of videogames. No wonder they consider Nintendo as their worst enemy.

@glaemay EA doesn't particularly hate Nintendo the company, EA seems to have an issue with Nintendo Fans.

Because we don't purchase their games in great numbers and it kinda all started with the Wii.

Thats actually why an EA engineer once famously said "the Wii is just two GameCube's taped together". It wasn't a problem with the console for them, it was the fact that everyone was buying it and they had no idea how to utilise it.

The best selling EA game on the Wii sold 1.8m units, this was during a time when EA actually tried too. The Wii strained their relationship, more so with the fans than the company.

Carried on into the Wii U lifetime with loads of broken promises and even onto the Switch's lifetimes with all half arsed attempts at a FIFA game.

Like take this comments section for example, this comments section is indicative of all Nintendo fan site sentiments towards EA.

And EA definitely knows what the majority of us think of them, we've made no secret about it, on Twitter, Reddit, YouTube ect ect...

The beef is between EA company and Nintendo Fans. Thats why they put their games on the consoles but give the fans NOTHING at all.

The know FIFA will still sell on the Switch even if they don't try, so they put it on the console and shake hands with Nintendo Corp, Doing it, but then shaft the fans when its done.

A bit off topic but it kinda relates to my above post.

Now Rockstar on the other hand seem to not like Nintendo as a company, i don't actually know why but the lack of support on the console is telling of a bad relationship with the companies.

Also Nintendo fans have love for Rockstar so we know that the lack of support has nothing to do with the demand, many many many people have been demanding GTA 5.

A port of the original dead space trilogy would be amazing on Switch.

I hope that if they are doing a remaster they focus more on next gen for a full 4k experience that makes better use of raytracing and faster load times rather than being held back by old gen hardware.

EA have killed so many franchises (and development houses) over the years that it’s hard to guess what they could be bringing back. I’m sure whatever it is will be full of DLC and need a day 1 patch.

Bold of you to assume it will even release on Switch in the first place

If we didn't get Mass Effect Trilogy, I won't get my hopes up for anything else they may have had in store. I don't trust them to deliver though I DO buy their games whenever they actually surprise and deliver. I did get NFSMW on Wii U AND Mass Effect 3, cause I was hoping they'd release the other 2 eventually. I did get NFS Hot Pursuit and Burnout Paradise on Switch and was hoping to see more from them, but they're not making enough of an effort to put their best output on Switch and that's my beef with them.

@TheAwesomeBowser they may put something on the Switch but it won't be what the fans want and they'll do it to maintain a cordial relationship with Nintendo.

Any game they put on the Switch is for marketing purposes and to keep up appearances, to have their name printed on this article for example.

Any publicity, even if its bad publicity, is better than no publicity.

But they won't put on any games that we actually want.

It will be Archon

I cant stop thinking that the headline missed something like "...that surely wont be on switch" haha.
Anyway... DS deserves a last chance. 1 is a masterpiece, 2 is okish. 3 is really bad, but the cliffhanger was great. A new entry for ps5 or xbox would be a visual treat for sure. I dont care for a switch version. For me, horror games are meant to be played during the night on the big sceen, with better graphics than the switch can handle, not on the go.

Would be down for a new Dead Space. The second one is definitely one of my fav horror games. I'll never forget the 'eyeball' scene.

Hope it's Madden, not sure what EA have been releasing recently for NFL, but it's probably not good.

I'd love the first two Dead Space games on Switch. I'd trust that decision more than I would a new game. Look what they did to Dead Space 3!

Guys guys guys. It’s EA

There is NO WAY that new dead space or even a remaster of dead space will come to switch at all. EA doesn’t care about the switch

@Little_Squee exactly right. They aren’t gonna port it to switch anyway

@eltomo Madden 22 isn’t coming to switch

Not sure where the low expectations are coming from these days. Mass Effect, NFS Hot Pursuit and Burnout Paradise have been excellent remasters, with Mass Effect in particular having a lot of investment. For newer titles, EA's last 3 Star Wars games have all been great (Battlefront II took a bit of time, but like Splatoon all the free added content has made it a top-quality title). Yes, the FIFA legacy games are a cynical and unfunny joke but otherwise I struggle to see why because EA is making something automatically means it will be terrible.

@RoguePirate Madden, even a gimped one off would sell a million on the Switch…..I bought a few titles at launch, knowing that they would go on sale quickly. FIFA is selling well on the Switch. I just don’t get it.

@anoyonmus I don't think it's mentioned whether whatever this game is will come to Switch either...

@eltomo it’s not Madden though. Madden is worked by another studio. There might be a chance this dead space reboot or whatever could come to switch but I doubt it

My only hope for this is a brand new arcade-style Burnout game like the greatest racing game of all time, Burnout 3 Takedown. Or even just a Takedown remaster. Otherwise I don't see myself being interested in whatever this may be.

@rockodoodle yeah it doesn't make sense but it is what it is, kind of sad really.

@RoguePirate it was mentioned that EA looked to be hiring a developer….. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/03/ea_job_listing_suggests_madden_could_be_coming_to_switch

I still hold hope that we get some form of Madden.

If they made a new Dead Space game it would have to follow the formula of the first two. I’d rather have a remaster than see a continuation of 3’s style. I’ve always told people it says a lot about Dead Space 1 that the scariest part of 2 is boarding the docked Ishimura.
I always knew what was was going to happen in 3. Walk out of a building into the outdoors? Respawned baddie bursts out of the ground. Push a button to call an elevator or start a lift? Lights start flashing and a lockdown initiates. Time to fight a few waves of necromorphs. Most of the dread and tension was gone.

Absolutely no chance that whatever this is, is coming to the switch.

I actually hope it's Boom Blox.

EA is sitting on over a hundred games I remember from the nineties. All IP that is just dormant now. I'm not asking that they cater to me specifically, but I'm not particularly interested in Dead Space. ^^

Road Rash? If they even own the IP anymore, I haven't a clue. Road Redemption is pretty good but I got tired of it quick and went back to the old Sega Genesis Road Rash games.
