How Will EA Treat Codemasters?

- With EA's recent acquisition of Codemasters, speculation has been everywhere: Many are wondering if Codemasters will be forced to use Frostbite, or if they'll help develop Need for Speed. In this video I wanted to debunk what I feel like are false claims and give my opinion on some potential things that could happen with this merge. Keep in mind that this video is purely educated guesses and speculation - anything can happen.

“Can’t wait” for F1 Ultimate Team
F1 Career Challenge 2
F1 will fail it's not forza 8 that will succeed.
This news was actually so disappointing. EA should never have baught codemasters and I reckon they'll kill codemasters
I’m curious, what do you mean by kill? Their franchises? Fire their employees too soon? What exactly?
@@TheJakeMG well criterion died pretty much its different now. Why create a studio then bring it back to a studio that they broke up a while ago it didn't make sense or maybe it's just me 🤣 blackbox got over loaded with work then produced eh games from it so they got shut down. The point is EA Seems to have a habit of doing this stuff. Don't get me started on battlefront 2🤣 so overall I lost pretty much hope with EA actually doing something good in influence on their studios. I might be completely wrong yet but we'll see
@@Rowanie rip blackbox
i thought that the first NFS game with microtransactions playing a significant role was in Need For Speed: World.
TIL
I doubt Frostbite is much at fault here. The EGO Engine is a heavily modified version of the Phyre Engine which was a free-to-use engine developed by Sony so developers of any size could make games and it was mostly used for platformers and JRPG titles in the PS3 era, if an engine like that can be turned into what Codemasters used for years then I'm sure Frostbite can be used for a decent NFS game too. I still think most of the handling issues come from the fact that all Ghost titles have the NFS Rivals' handling under the hood albeit with a few tweaks.
@@aaronwestley3239 Not the most foolproof source in the world, but the Wikipedia page for the engine mentions the implementation of PhyreEngine's graphical features into the engine. You are indeed correct, it was Neon that was used as a base for Ego, I read that article a long time ago and switched their places by mistake, so my bad on that one.
Ian Bell from Slightly Mad Studios is not going to like this move by EA, especially after calling F&F Crossroads 'NFS Killer'.
Ian bell hated ea said they were going to destroy them. And now look what happen?? Ea owns them now and will control it. Selling it to ea was what they wanted to stop competition. Now the race is on for forza 8 and auto to really stand out.
@Patrice Bateman you are wrong ea has bought Ian soul!! They owned his baby they did what ian swore he would not do. Project car and codemaster is now under ea!!!!!
How foolish they all were!!!!
Ian sold project cars to codemaster to save it and then they sold their soul to EA.
This will go down as the greatest mishaps in game development history. You hate someone so much they bought you in the end.
Eh, you probably know how they will treat them...
Happy new year btw
New year is tomorrow for me lol
Well, people says that NFS will be saved and all that. But, few people remember that EA works like a parasite (Buy Studio, Realese stuff, shutdown studio and pass their employes to main studios) Maybe Codies will get "The Respawn" freedom. Only time can tell...
I’ve been waiting for you to make a video on this! Agree with many of your takes, for now we don’t really know how things might go, as the deal isn’t finalised yet but should be in the coming weeks.
Also, Happy New Year!
Dont mind me. Just vibing to your intro music.
ProjectCARS could possibly be folded into Need For Speed: Shift tho...
Project Cars 4 was already announced lol
Happy new year from South Africa!
Frostbite in my opinion is one of the best graphics engines out there but there’s a drawback the car handling of a Ubisoft game
The reason why is because frostbite is an engine that was designed for first person shooters only. When the engine is used for any other genre, it sucks. I think this is the reason why nfs has a huge handling problem.
Dude, I shit you not Frostbite is BEAUTIFUL! God damn i can never get enough of Rivals, 2015 NFS, and Heat graphics... It's BLYATIFUL
Yeah Rivals looked and played well especially on Xbox One X it's one of my top 5 NFS games.
@@saadhasan2518 and what's more? Even if it has a 30 fps lock on pc, I DON'T MIND AT ALL because it looked SOO GOOD 👍
@@colinhenry__ yeah hell I enjoyed it's gameplay the risk reward was fun and the handling model was nicely implemented and the car list was unique including cars such as
Ferrari Enzo Ferrari
Koenigsegg One:1
Spano GTA
Lamborghini Veneno
Ferrari F12
Even the pursuit tech was fun to use I used turbo and jammer on racer side for the most part.
6:07 that transition was awesome
I used to play BF games a lot on my outdated PC. For some reason Ghost Games removed console and didn't include some "engine specific" options in menus. It was a shame because writing them down manually in config file drastically improved performance.
About Codemasters:
I hope they keep Grid alive and next game will be closer to the original one (higher speed, better damage model, more compliant and softer suspension, main focus on team management)
Dirt Rally will propably become official WRC game, I just hope they keep it on the sim side of simcade.
If they want to keep Dirt5 alive, they have to follow formula of original 3 games but I doubt there's big market for arcade rally games, as sport itself is in decline.
SMS should create simcade circuit games to rival Forza/GT on consoles. They can even base next title on PC3 (better camera, AI that doesn't try to emulate oval pack racing on road courses, utilisation of Madness engine's weather options etc.) and sell it as PC spinoff or Shift 3.
I might sound dumb for this but, Does SlightlyMad Studios goes along with Codemasters after EA purchase them? If so that makes EA purchase their old Allie again
Also Happy New Year Jake, You made year special
SMS is included in that. So yeah, they went full circle.
Thank you!
i don't know why i love your videos so much 🤣
The only reason Heat doesnt have microtransactions is because support was dropped after release due to the death of Ghost games
@@adlibbed2138 Well yes, Ghost was still there when it was announced, but im talking about post release. And its fucking EA, cmon
Anyway, Criterion took up NFS and it's kinda not shitty.
Honestly, GRID and DiRT are probably done for, even DiRT Rally. They'll probably end up keeping Project Cars as far as original IP goes, and the WRC and F1 games will probably end up in the EA Sports line up.
Boy, part of this comment aged well.
As if Codemasters wasn’t bad enough with their season passes, they’re probably going to add Battle Passes in all their racing games
I think EA may not micro-transactions especially given that they are dealing with 3 lawsuits regarding microtransactions and the mess that was SW:BF2 and BFV I hope Criterion uses a different engine for the next NFS game imo the good looking games on frostbite were Rivals (one of my top 5 NFS games) and I hope Dirt and Grid don't die because from Dirt 1 to Grid 2 all games by Codemasters are amazing and better than the NFS of that time especially in 2007,2008,2009 and 2011 and the Ego engine looks really great.
I think that it's kinda good for NFS that more racing games exists under codemasters name, because with the existence of these games NFS doesn't have to change that much every time a new one comes out, remember Pro Street? That can be Grid (obviously this will cost you 60$ more)
You dont know the evil history of EA. Codemaster is owned by ea dude!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭🤯
INTERESTING
How are they already making pcars4?
If EA do force codemasters to change the engine of all its games
For all I know EA will fucked to oblivion
The main reason these types of takeovers even happen, is all about resources. As Fox aquisition shown, Big studios both in games and movie industries, care about production abilities. Licences and franchises are sweet bonus, because IP is always valuable, but if it were about getting these, EA could have just apply for F1 license, instead of buying out whole codemasters. More games and ips, will be useful for EA pass service, to make it look much more interesting, and then there are many new devs, studios and technologies, that EA can use in a future.
About BioWare and anthem, just because BioWare said they werent forced, doesnt mean much. There are plenty of accounts from people Who worked with these engines on these games, that say otherwise. BioWare officials need to keep straight face, there's no going around it. No one will say 'Yea, use of frostbite was mandatory, and we hate this engine'.
If it goes about need for speed... Again, Fox aquisition comes to mind. Many speculated at the time, that Disney wanted to get back the X-Men license. And look, few Years have passed, and it is just now, that MCU announced first movie based on license from that aquisition. And it's not even X-Men. Time will tell, if codemasters will help with NFS development. Although, having more Diverse portfolio of racing games will be hugely beneficial for EA.
I just want a underground style game
WRC 2023 license is with Codemasters.
Ea is gonna torture codemasters for micro transitions
I know this is unrealistic but I want burnout back
I think need for speed doesn't need to come out 2023. I think burnout can kind of solve their problems. If it's going to come back it need to be an closed track racing game. To separate its self from need for speed. No bikes. Burnout is about car combat.
This is coming from someone who played little heat and their last need for speed game is rivals, who play other game genres and is 16 years old.
but what if EA buys rockstar to improve the damage model
Better question how will the Hell. inc destroy Codemasters
The 6th speed will be DLC.
EA has lots it's edge and I feel that it's a too little to late when it comes to saving the Company. I am disappointed that codematser don't make games the way they used to, The latest Grid games are good but are too arcade like and very forgettable , people want racing sims and not arcade games, great video though man.
GRID was always an arcade racer. Not everyone wants a sim. I will say it’s more popular right now, but it doesn’t mean every franchise should go towards being a sim.
Never thought I wished Tale Two Interactive bought a company.
yeah, it's official
we are going to have to pay real money to open the games
Can’t wait for f1 22 with f1 21 cars and microtranscations to play as mercedes
But they’ll give u force India for free
Grid series died already its really sad
I think it's going to end up the same way criterion did
BUY RUSH KILL
THE ICONIC EA CYCLE
*they will end up just like how ea killed westwood studios*
They gonna run it to the ground
write a script, bro, then edit it. it will filter out all the "and stuff like that..."
CodeMasters need for speed doesn't sound that bad...
10:10 they are gonna remove 50% of content on the disc and resell it as dlc. full price because that's ea
Codemasters could just help with the off-roading in NFS and that's about it
