Why are people saying they want Westwood games back even though EA has good games?(in my opinion)

QUOTE (in my opinion) You just answered your own question. Some people are of the opinion that Westwood made the better C&C games and quite frankly, I agree with them up until RA2. In YR, the EA influence became somewhat apparent, Generals, the best C&C game EA ever made was hardly even acknowledged by its publisher until recently and from that point onwards, well, let's not talk about that. It's a matter of personal taste. Younger players seem to prefer the newer games because 'the old ones have shitty graphics' while older players prefer the Westwood games because they feel that EA didn't do justice to the series' legacy somehow. |

I am not going to say Rayburn is wrong, but i want to add is also because....well, there are not more C&C to really compared how good westwood would have made them, so because they were the original creators many fans put them close to Godhood
this do happen with other companies and games throught --------------------  |

I wouldn't say that Westwood did a god-like job either, personally. The map design in TD and RA1 was severely lacking in my opinion. All the locations
looked pretty much identical which made the whole thing rather repetitive. I still prefer the WW games in terms of style, story and mood, though. |

People for some reason see WW as a god studio. Petroglyph is basically the new Westwood now, Universe at War wasn't too bad from memory.

EA used to make good games too. Road Rash, General Chaos, Populous, the old Fifa games (94-96) among others. Problem is that they can't do good new games, all they do is sequels. The only new thing they came up with was Spore but you get tired of that game pretty quickly. It will also be milked to death like Sims.

Sequel Spam is what killed Need for Speed, and I would really rather not see that happen to CnC as well. EA needs to concentrate on making games that last, both on it's power initially and let a good community get established in order to back it's games in the long run. None of the games EA makes these days will ever become 'classics' because they aren't particularly groundbreaking and there's a sequel 12 months down the line.

Dead Space was the solely good EA game I ever played so far.

You are correct Populous was from Bullfrog which got swallowed up by EA like Westwood did.
I haven't played Dead space yet. -------------------- |

You also have to take in account that you cannot generalize EA as a whole since they have different studios and developers too (as in EA that developed the C&C games = not the same as EA that developed Dead Space for one).
Ironicly tho i got myself Dead Space a few days ago must say that sofar i found it quite a entertaining game. --------------------  |
