I posted this is the EA Marvel thread, but thought it deserved its own.

Good riddance.

I hope it catches on fire before everyone can move their things out

Why the hatred? My old office used to be down the street from them.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

My office is right next door to EA Chicago

 

[Panophobia]

What games did they make?

 

[terry78]

The entire Def Jam series, for one. Also, Fight Night.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

And theyre responsible for the upcoming Marvel fighting game.

 

[Zenien]

The entire Def Jam series, for one. Also, Fight Night.

I thought AKI made the defjam games, didn't EA chicago handle the most recent one for the next gen systems?

 

[WhatsHisFace]

I think they did "Rise of the Imperfects" as well.

[WhatsHisFace]

Not again.

 

[GFreeman]

[Zenien]

Wait aren't these the Fight Night guys?

 

[GFreeman]

Maybe. They do those awful rap games those.

 

[Panophobia]

Def Jam I don't care about. But I hope Fight Night gets developed elsewhere.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Wow, they edited my multipost pretty quickly.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

EA sucks anyway.

 

[Zenien]

Shame for all the good people working there.

 

[GFreeman]

They made a "Def Jam" game. That practically makes them war criminals.

 

[Joker]

I loved Fight Night...too bad really...

The games weren't bad. They had a decent fighting engine.

 

[Zenien]

The should have made Fight Night Round 4 instead of... well.. everything else they made after Round 3.

 

[Fran]

Fight Night Round 3 was awesome.

The Def Jam games stunk.
