Welcome to NSR Watch

Finally a home for me and others to rant and rave about the two biggest pieces of shit in video game history none other then: ea sports ceo (Larry Probt), and ea game producer (James 'KY' Hawkins).
Look forward to many interesting articles as we document the past and future of these dickheads as they screw over the public with there so called "flawless sim to date"
Welcome and enjoy the ride (or roast).

Acclaimed Academy Award Winner Peter Jackson Fires Electronic Arts!



http://doubleagent.com/article.php?a=1390

Peter Jackson, famed director of the Lord of The Rings series is now working on a King Kong remake, and according to reports at actiontrip, he's become so frustrated at EA game's lack of co-operation on the accompanying game that he's given the project to Ubisoft instead. The fact that EA sucks isn't very surprising: Jackson just learned what most gamers (and EA employees) already know: EA ain't a great place to do business with. The company is renowned in gaming circles for being the exact opposite of innovative: using old-fashioned and often downright antiquated control schemes and game design is status quo for them. But what finally caused the split?

The article also quoted Ken Kamins, Jackson's manager, as saying that "Electronic Arts was not interested in input from the filmmaker" but had no problem marketing the games as though he was closely involved in their making. The article made no mention of the fact that all EA Lord of the Rings games featured digital assets and creature designs from the movie trilogy and Jackson's own Weta Workshop (which is beginning work on the Halo film). The games also featured music from the movies' soundtracks, as well as the likenesses and voices of all the Rings films' stars, many of which recorded all-new dialogue. The Times quotes an EA rep as saying only that the input Jackson was given in the development process was "above and beyond expectations." GameSpot's attempts to elicit further comment on the matter were unsuccessful as of press time.

Hey Peter sorry you had to find out the hard way. Maybe you can call your buddy Spielberg and save him from the succubus EA..lol
