We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Not really related (MAYBE?) but on a side note I recently learned that Richard Garriott got in contact with EA to obtain permission to work on an Ultima kickstarter for a reboot/remake/remaster (the details are unclear and I'm not sure if even he was already set on a specific plan) by mid 2020.
After an initial opening where his EA contact said basically "Sure, let me handle this for you, I'll be back with the answer" the guy contacted Garriott once again and said "Nevermind, it seems like it can't be done because EA higher ups have plans on their own for the IP.
Now, this is EA we are talking about so it's probably just some mobile bullshit, but I'm just putting it out there as a curiosity on the sideline.

Ian S Frazier, the Creative Director of Star Wars Squadrons, is a massive Ultima Fan (a member of the Ultima Dragons, headed the Dungeon Siege Total conversion Ultima V:Lazurus) asked the group what they'd like in an Ultima 7 remake a couple of years ago.
One of the best total conversion mods ever made, by the way.
That said, if they were going to reboot Ultima in some form I'd rather expect them to go with Ultima IV as starting point..?
But who knows.
The only EA IP (outside of Bioware) I really care about are SSX, Dead Space and Mirror's Edge. Any of those would make me happy.
I conquer cur
I con
IPs that would actually make me happy and I could see current EA doing justice:
Wing Commander
Crusader No Remorse
NBA Jam
Ultima (maybe)
Already did. It's really good.

That "hint" from Jeff seems to be too obvious, so he may be trolling.
Anyway. Funnily enough, I beat Syndicate not long ago, and the game was okay. The aesthetic was really cool tho.
A new game would have to be something really good to catch my attention I think.

Syndicate as an immersive sim could be good.
Otherwise, give us a proper sequel to Dead Space 2. I need that third person survival space horror fix!!

I think this sounds like Dead Space is returning which is awesome for those waiting for another game, I could never get into the series. However, what I wouldn't do for a jade empire successor......
I would love Dead Space. The first two are some of my favorite games ever. Space horror is the best genre and if Motive is indeed working on that and doing it justice, this gen could be space horror heaven with The Callisto Protocol and to some extent Returnal and perhaps Playdead's new sci-fi game as well.
Yeah. I can't really think of any existing EA IP that would make me happy. Plenty of ones that could make me sad, though. Whatever it is I do hope Motive does a good job with it. I really enjoyed the time I spent with Squadrons.
What EA should try is taking some of those old IPs and letting smaller/indie studios have a shot at them. Kinda like the EA Originals program, but pointed at bringing back old classics instead of pushing new IP. You would naturally get a variety of styles in there and the risk would be smaller than trying to throw a AAA budget at a Road Rash revival for example.

Did Tony Hawk remake do well? (tough to tell on PC as EGS exclusive), I would be down for an SSX Tricky remake or reboot.
There was a canned aerial MoH game. I think it might've gotten turned into Secrets of WWII or something.
Edit: Secret Weapons Over Normandy
Yeah, that would be the Syndicate to make me happy rather than FPS.
If it is Syndicate then I hope it is a follow-up to the 2012 FPS. That game was fun and had a great multiplayer mode that I would love to see further expanded on.
Dare to dream!
Hot damn. Don't tease. I owned that game. That would be awesome.
My guess is Rogue Squadron. There's a movie coming out in 2023, Motive dropped Squadrons like a hot potato after launch despite selling fairly well for it's budget. EA was clear there wouldn't be much post launch before Squadrons even came out, so moving them to their next project asap was evidently a priority. It would be able to reuse most of the gameplay systems and even some of the assets, so a ~3 year dev cycle for such a similar followup should be possible for the studio and would explain the "rush" to get to the new project if they're attempting to coincide with that film. It's a popular game series in an established IP that people would be excited to see revived.

I can't figure out if this ripped off Star Wars' stormtrooper designs or Star Wars ripped this off for clone trooper designs lol.
BELIEVE
Either way, wow what a throwback.
