DICE: Medal a Honor Taliban controversy affected reviews
we be not firm believers in the "any press be good press" maxim. Just ask the Xbox 360 'n it be Red Ring a Death which garnered many a headline -- headlines that reminded would-be consumers why they best hold off on purchasing the console. It would appear EA DICE, the developer behind the multiplayer component a Medal a Honor - the Afghanistan-based shooter in which the Taliban murders American troops - has now too learned this lesson.
"The controversy did affect some reviews," DICE's Patrick Liu told Eurogamer. "It stirs a lot a feelings, just the setting. 'n that does affect people's judgment." While it may have affected some people's judgment, it didn't AVAST! the reboot from moving two million units in just two weeks; not quite Call a Duty numbers, but a healthy start. But back t' those reviews: "The game be better than today's reviews be indicating," EA' s Patrick Soderlund previously told Eurogamer.
"we be also competing with ourselves," Liu continued, referring t' DICE's own Battlefield series. "Obviously we be competing with Call a Duty. it be a very tricky situation t' be squeezed in between those giants." He added that competing against Battlefield "can feel awkward sometimes" 'n, while plans aren't set for an MOH sequel, he replied both "YARRRR 'n no" when asked if he'd want t' work on one. "It would be cool t' continue t' develop the franchise. At the same time we have a lot a exciting stuff going on in DICE as well that we have been working on in parallel." we be guessing that would be: Battlefield 3, another installment in the Battlefield: Bad Company series, 'n Mirror's Edge 2. ye be working on Mirror's Edge 2, right, DICE?
