EA is changing. I want to believe that. First, selling off lucrative but terribly stale license to the competition. Then, a new president who's chanting the mantra of innovation. And then, acquiring renowned developers who (get this!) willingly and enthusiastically partner with the corporate monolith that used to be EA.
Bioware president Ray Muzyka thinks EA's changed (he talked his new employer up in his presentation at the EA Spring Break event last Monday); EA's own (formerly unhappy) employees think it's changed. With a lineup of new properties ranging from innovative and well received (like Skate) to ambitious but less successful (think Army of Two) - as well as the extraordinarily successful EA Partners program that sees the publisher's name on everything from Valve's Orange Box to MTV Games' Rock Band - most signs point to change. But EA has yet to match the critical success of rivals like Take-Two, whose BioShock and Grand Theft Auto games have reached a level of praise practically unknown to EA.
So when a new survival horror property was announced on the cover of October's Game Informer - proudly proclaiming its development by "a renegade team at Electronic Arts" - our curiosity was piqued. A new IP, a new genre, an impressive (and external) graphics engine? A series of developer diaries, comic books, interviews, and press materials continued to stoke the fires of innovation, encouraging everyone to think of the game as something new for EA: a game where story and atmosphere aren't trimmings wrapped around a stale license but fundamental components of the experience. EA was essentially building a "Shock" game (System Shock, BioShock), only they named it Dead Space and I finally got a chance to play it last week.
