Glad this style is making a pseudo mainstream comeback so I can spend my 401k on the upcoming $500 JJ Squawkers Limited Run Games exclusive.

Dice makes a good skeleton and always has
Vince coming in has me excited because he seems like the perfect individual within EA to put some meat on those bones

Battlefield has been in kind of a directionless slump long enough that it’s hard to see this being something worse.
The language of ‘connected universe’ these things all use is really gross but I think a lot of it will boil down to persistent player profiles and launchers that they’ve been working on, like how Call of Duty presents a seamless package across different box titles:
In a lot of ways, it’s the melding of package releases with the MMO model; even the purchase points are getting blended.
what will the first non call of duty game added to the call of duty unified experience launcher be?

I’m sure Battlefield will benefit, I’m just salty that Respawn appears to be on the BioWare track.
At first I parsed this as praise for the first person body modeling and nodded along but I agree with the metaphor too.
ah, yeah
I believe Vince Zampella is a publisher-side person whose skills are in building a team and giving it a direction so it’s not surprising he moved out of Respawn as soon as it appeared stable. Respawn seems to have a good second generation taking leadership roles so I’m optimistic but everyone’s been getting sucked into one of the 4 IPs Remaining in the last year.

I like how we’re all excited that Zampella is going to be doing less at Respawn and being more hands on with other EA IP while not discussing that his co-founder Chad Grenier just left

That’s part of the BioWare track but yeah.
Hey, has Steve Fukuda had a credit in anything recently? ;_;
