Electronic Arts

From Chewiki Archive - YouChew: 1% Funny, 99% Hot Gas

Electronic Arts is a video game company/evil empire considered by some to be soul-less, churning-out sequel after sequel. It was originally set-up by Trip Hawkins (Who later made the Panasonic 3DO.) to provide games for home computers, such as the Commodore 64 and the PC. They made games such as M.U.L.E., Skate or Die!, and others. It wasn't until Trip bumped into John Madden that they started to develop the Madden series for the SNES and the Sega Genesis (As well as other consoles later on.). They provided quite decent games eventhough they had to resort to dodginess for coding by using reverse engineering (The developers Park Place, Polygames (Who later made Sonic Spinball.), and Tiertex all used it.), but it went all wrong when John Madden Football and FIFA kept selling when compared to their other games, such as Road Rash and the Strike series. Nowadays, EA mainly make the EA Sports lineup, Need for Speed, Burnout, The Sims, maybe Dead Space, and really nothing much else.

Trivia

  • They own John Madden and the NFL license, which sucks.
  • They bought a LOT of companies; Bullfrog (Theme Park/Hospital), Westwood (Command & Conquer), Maxis and made them bust by sports games.
  • While many people consider them the worst developer due to overtime and rushing their games, they actually have better working practises than Tose even though in the past EA did use them to develop their games.
  • They ruined Tecmo Bowl on the Virtual Console and the new Tecmo Super Bowl on the DS.
  • Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl on the Famicom/NES are much better games than the Madden games.
