Notre série d'été Pour une poignée de pixel sur l'économie du jeu vidéo revient sur l'un des jeux les plus vendus au monde : Fifa - rebaptisé EA FC devenu l'une des principales sources de revenus pour son éditeur Electronic Arts. Décembre 1993, c'est une petite révolution pour les amateurs de foot et de jeux vidéos. Fifa international Soccer sort sur les consoles. Si le jeu est très remarqué, c'est d'abord parce qu'il offre une nouvelle façon de voir le terrain. Fini la vue à plat, sans relief, et place à la troisième dimension avec une caméra plongeante sur le terrain. Mais le jeu innove aussi et surtout de par son réalisme : des chants de supporters et jusqu'à la célébration des buts. En un mois, il s'écoule à un demi-million d'exemplaires. Un record à l'époque.  Derrière ce succès, on trouve le studio Electronic Arts. L'éditeur américain a senti le bon filon. Un accord conclu avec l'instance du foot international, la Fifa, lui permet d'utiliser le nom Fifa et de proposer à ses joueurs les sélections nationales. La saga Fifa est lancée. Fifa se réinvente face à la concurrence Chaque année, le jeu est attendu des fans. Chaque année, l'éditeur soigne un peu plus les graphismes, explore — avec ou plus ou moins de succès – de nouveaux modes. On peut évoluer avec les plus grands clubs, disputer des compétitions, gérer son équipe et même affronter en réseau ses amis ou des inconnus à l'autre bout de la planète. Pourtant, à partir des années 2000, Fifa n'est plus seul. Pas assez réaliste, plus assez créatif, il se fait même doubler par son concurrent, Pro Evolution Soccer du Japonais Konami. Pour regagner le cœur des fans, la franchise doit se réinventer. Le jeu devient plus réaliste et développe surtout un nouveau mode qui va à la fois séduire le public, tout comme doper ses recettes. Le jeu Fifa, devient EA Sports FC 24 Fifa Ultimate Team, mieux connu sous le nom de FUT fait ses débuts en 2009. Le principe est simple : créer l'équipe de vos rêves. Pour cela, vous pouvez acheter des packs de joueurs grâce à des crédits accumulés dans le jeu, ou bien avec de l'argent réel via des Points Fifa. Ce système d'achat devient la machine à cash d'Electronic Arts, car les ventes de jeux explosent, mais les joueurs dépensent en plus de l'argent. Beaucoup d'argent même, à tel point qu'en 2020, ce mode « Ultimate Team », présent également sur ses autres jeux de sport Madden, NHL, NBA et UFC représente pour Electronic Arts, 1,62 milliard de dollars : plus d'un tiers de tous ses revenus. Mais en 2022, après près de trente ans de mariage, Electronic Arts et l'instance du foot international, le Fifa se séparent. Le jeu Fifa, devient EA Sports FC 24. S'il reste fidèle à son ADN, jamais pourtant il n'a encore retrouvé les records de ventes de ces dernières années. À lire aussiJeux vidéo: ne l'appelez plus FIFA 24, place à EA SPORTS FC 24

In this episode, we review the new game from Dreamhaven (former Blizzard devs) called Wildgate. It's a PvPvE shooter we're having a blast playing. You and 3 other players pilot a shop through The Reach with other ships in the battle with you. Find the artifact and take it through the Wildgate or destroy all the enemy ships. The moment to moment combat is fantastic and there's a lot of variety to gameplay that keeps us coming back for more.Grounded 2 is out in early access. This is Obsidian Entertainment's sequel to the survival "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" style game. Now we're in a big park with better graphics, simpler mechanics and tougher enemies...did we mention buggies? Battlefield 6 is back! The open beta happened last weekend and we played a ton of it. With this new title in the franchise, we have a return to form with the 4 classes, tighter maps, incredible destruction, fantastic sound and several new mechanics that change the game. This is the Battlefield we've been waiting for!Lastly, Brett is bummed with Tony Hawk Pro Skater's 3+4. It doesn't live up to the memories he had as a kid. Is the game bad? Or is our memory simply remembering the best parts of the games we played?Show Notes:1:06 - Housekeeping2:05 - Wildgate Review: Ship Heists in Space 31:52 - Grounded 2: Better in Every Way…Plus Buggies!54:33 - Battlefield 6: The Destructive Magic is Back 1:22:26 - Grinding Through Nostalgia: The Problem with Remakes1:41:33 - Upcoming Video Game Releases Become a part of the conversation!

Bei Battlefield 6 will Electronic Arts auf Nummer sicher gehen: zurück zum Spielgefühl von Battlefield 4, bloß keine Experimente. Ist das klug - oder eine kreative Bankrotterklärung?

The 5 things you need to know before the stock market opens today: AI startup Anthropic is nearing a deal to raise as much as $5 billion in new funding. SoFi Technologies under pressure after announcing a $1.5 billion share offering, video game maker Electronic Arts' F1 racing game is fueling growth, Happy Gilmore 2 had a big weekend on Netflix and the Hess Truck's back and it's better than ever. Squawk Box is hosted by Joe Kernen, Becky Quick and Andrew Ross Sorkin.  Follow Squawk Pod for the best moments, interviews and analysis from our TV show in an audio-first format. 

In den letzten Jahren verging kaum eine Woche ohne Meldung über Entlassung bei "X" oder "Y". Kürzlich hat es erneut tausende Menschen bei Microsoft und der Xbox-Sparte getroffen. Das war die insgesamt 3. Entlassungswelle seit der Übernahme von Activision Blizzard King. Obwohl die Zahlen in Abonnent*innen und Dollar etwas anderes sagen. Es hat ganze Studios gekillt, Franchises wurden begraben und Entwickler halbiert. Ein richtig schwerer Brocken. Hässlich ist es auch zwischen Krafton und Unknown Worlds, die an Subnautica 2 arbeiten. Vorwürfe, Entlassungen und Behauptungen - die vermutlich vorm Gericht landen und dort entschieden wird, welche der beiden Seiten Recht bekommt. Leichter fällt es natürlich über unsere zuletzt gespielten Videospiele zu sprechen. Da gab es bekannte Kost im Namen von Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Doom: The Dark Ages und Split Fiction. Neu sind die Eindrücke zu Killing Floor III und Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate. Battlefield 6 wurde mit einem ersten Trailer gezeigt und soll laut Electronic Arts zurück zu alter Stärke finden. Also wie immer irgendwie und typisches PR-Gerede. Der Trailer ist schick, keine Frage! Wir sind gespannt und habt ihr Bock drauf? Zu guter Letzt sprechen wir noch einmal kurz über die vergangene State of Play zu Ghost of Yotei und den irren VKZ zur Nintendo Switch 2. Wir wünschen euch wie immer viel Spaß mit der neuesten Episode und hoffen euch gefällt die 194. Ausgabe des SpielBar Podcasts. Hinterlasst gerne eine Bewertung, folgt uns und bleibt den Pixeln treu! https://youtu.be/j-B_WuOqGFY?si=QmopLkYL_B9HneA4

With leaks galore coming out of its closed testing period, it should come as no surprise that Battlefield 6 is real, and it's en route very soon. Electronic Arts and its quartet of fully-owned teams under the Battlefield Studios moniker promise a full multiplayer reveal in late July, and rumors indicate the full title is primed to launch in October. Can EA finally turn the ship around and fully deliver on the potential of its ailing franchise? Or has its lunch been permanently eaten? Plus: Sony invests $450 million into Bandai Namco in return for 2.5% of the publisher, FromSoft is reportedly working on a mystery game due out in 2026, the reasons for Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles' long development cycle suddenly become clearer, Microsoft backtracks on The Outer Worlds 2's aggressive pricing, Death Stranding 2 sells big, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Did our parents ever play games with us while we were growing up? Is Colin an unadulterated and unhinged Nintendo hater? Will shorter and more reasonable development cycles ever return to the AAA space? Could one listener's ex now be dating another listener?

Electronic Arts presenta ufficialmente Battlefield 6, con un trailer incentrato sulle suggestioni della campagna. Quella del nuovo FPS intenzionato a sfidare COD sarà una guerra realistica, per un immaginario forse un po' abusato ma molto efficace presso certe fasce di pubblico.Parliamo anche del piccolo "dietrofront" di Microsoft, non tanto sul prezzo dei suoi prossimi giochi Tripla A, quanto su quello di The Outer Worlds 2.

Marvel head Kevin Feige talks about the future direction for the MCU with reporters, and it means BIG news for those wondering about the future for the X-Men, Blade, Tony Stark, and more! Plus, Gerald and Josh cover the drama with the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the tenuous futures for The Daily Show and South Park, and how it ties in to the not-yet-completed merger with Paramount and Skydance. All this and did YOU know EA College Football came out on the tenth? We didn't either, and what that says about Electronic Arts making the game a yearly staple. Also, Tony Hawk 3 & 4 come back to life as we tell you what the average review score is and where you can get it at the best value for your dollar. And with no DC and Marvel headed to San Diego, is it still worth it to go to this year's Comic-Con?

This episode is a conversation with Spellbook co-founder Scott Stevenson about intersection of technology and creativity. Spellbook is a AI contract co-pilot for transactional lawyers that plugs into Microsoft Word. Despite founding a legal technology company, Scott is not a lawyer but is computer engineer by training. As a kid Scott was into video games and in fourth grade he talked his parents into getting him a computer because he wanted to figure out how to create them. By middle school he was building websites and eventually landed an internship at Electronic Arts. Scott is also interested in electronic music and he launched his first start up, Mune, with a music professor, to create a whole new musical instrument that combined the power of digital music with an acoustic instrument. It was during his time at Mune that Scott started to think about building a legal tech company. After he got his first legal bill he figured there might be a more efficient and less expensive way to do legal work. So he and lawyer buddy founded Rally, a document automation and templating engine for law firms which later begat Spellbook, but he funny thing about Spellbook, it was originally conceived as a marketing idea to generate leads for Rally.   Things We Talk About in This Episode   Mune (Scott's Digital Instrument Startup) Episode Credits Editing and Production: Grant Blackstock Theme Music: Home Base (Instrumental Version) by TA2MI

This episode is bursting with neon colours, coming-of-age movies, and acid-washed jeans, as Ryan Rumsey joins us to talk about his deep connection to the 1980s. He shares about moving across the country as a child, growing up as a "latchkey kid”, and how MTV, movies, and music became transformative influences during his youth. Ryan explores how the ‘80s represented a unique cultural moment with the advent of cable television, 24-hour news channels, and the transition of movies from art to commercial blockbusters during the Reagan era. While he appreciates modern ‘80s nostalgia in shows like Stranger Things, he notes how his children connect more with ‘80s music than films, bonding with him over classic tracks during car rides.Guest BioRyan Rumsey (he/him) is a former tech executive turned author, coach, consultant, and tiny business owner.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes.In a fairly shocking move, Marvel Studios will not have one of its classic Hall H presentations at San Diego Comic Con this year. Due to Avengers: Doomsday filming, the studio is opting not to pause production to fly actors to California. Marvel will still have panels and events throughout SDCC, just not the spectacle of Hall H, which has become a mainstay for the MCU particularly. This news is coupled with a recent appearance from the cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps at the CCPX promotional fan event in Mexico City last weekend, as well as buzz surrounding a supposed test screening for the fast approaching filmAt the TUDUM fan event this weekend, Netflix finally revealed the final season of Stranger Things will air in three parts late this year. The first will premiere November 26, followed by part two on Christmas and the series finale on New Year's Eve .Netflix also unveiled trailers for two of its anticipated upcoming films, Frankenstein - directed by Guillermo del Toro - and Knives Out 3: Wake Up Dead Man - directed by Rian Johnson. The films premiere in November and December, respectively, and both feature star-studded casts - something we've come to expect from Johnson's Knives Out films and what makes sense for a filmmaker as storied as del Toro. Frankenstein features Oscar Isaac in the titular role, as well as Jacob Elordi as the Monster, plus Mia Goth, and Christoph Waltz. Knives Out 3 is helmed once again by Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, and has a list of A-lister stars including Jeremy Renner and Kerry Washington.The second full summer box office weekend was favorable, with Disney's live action Lilo & Stitch up 51 percent from the prior week, and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning climbing up 55 percent. Sony's Karate Kid Legends opened to a $20 million domestic weekend as well. Seems like it's all sequels all the time right now for the summer box office.If insider Jeff Schneider's latest scoop is to be believed, Laura Linney has joined the cast of HBO's Lanterns series in an undisclosed role.HBO Max has renewed Emmy award winning series Hacks for a fifth season, which will make the series the longest-running live-action show in HBO Max's history.The highly-anticipated Elden Ring movie at A24 helmed by Alex Garland may be zeroing on a familiar face to lead the epic adaptation. Sources tell Deadline the director is in talks with Kit Connor, who recently appeared in his war pic Warfare, to star in the adaptation.Chris Hemsworth set Marvel twitter ablaze last week after posting a heartfelt message to MCU fans, which many took as a suggestion that Thor would not make it through Avengers: Doomsday. The post read: "Playing Thor has been one of the greatest honors of my life. For the last 15 years I've held Mjolnir and then Stormbreaker as the God of Thunder, but what made it truly special… was sharing it with all of you. Your passion, your cheers, and your love for this character have meant everything to me. Thank you for making my journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe unforgettable. Next up, Doomsday!"Electronic Arts is canceling its planned Black Panther game and shutting down developer Cliffhanger Games according to IGN.Scott Caan and Elizabeth Debicki have been cast in David Fincher's sequel to Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and will be joining Brad Pitt in the feature that is being made by Netflix.Oscar nominee and Grammy winner Ariana Grande has joined the cast of the next installment in the Meet the Parents franchise, which will hit theaters on November 25, 2026.

We have a surprise review this week for a game called Revenge of the Savage Planet. This game was not on our radar, but we're glad we got it and played it. It's a third-person collect-a-thon where you fight bugs and other creatures, capture them and collect eggs, spool and more to level up your character. It's on Xbox Game Pass and can be easily played with a friend!We also dove back into the 8 year old Star Wars Battlefront 2. It's been getting some popularity recently because of Star Wars in Fortnite, Andor Season 2 and Star Wars Day. We quickly realized how much we enjoyed that game despite it's commercial failure due to poor business decisions. We hope the resurgence is enough to bring it back and do it right.Splitgate 2 is officially out in open beta. They had some issues with the launch but after it was fixed, it feels good jumping back into this game. We predict when the game will release and talk about what we love and don't love about the sequel to the much anticipated arena shooter.Lastly, we share our experiences both at Dreamhack Dallas and Dallas Fan Expo. One focused on gaming and esports and the other on nerd culture in comic books, sci-fi, anime and more. Show Notes:0:55 - Housekeeping4:35 - Revenge of the Savage Planet Review28:44 - Why We Need Star Wars Battlefront 351:38 - Splitgate 2: Open Beta Launch Woes and Launch Predictions1:07:56 - Dreamhack Dallas Recap1:36:10 - Dallas Fan Expo Recap1:59:07 - Upcoming Video Game Releases Become a part of the conversation!

Ben, Matt, and Steve party up for a three-person podcast about a three-player game! First, they discuss what the cancellation of Electronic Arts' Black Panther project portends for the future of superhero games and Triple-A licensed games. Then they have a spoiler-free discussion of FromSoftware's fascinating 'Elden Ring' spinoff experiment, 'Nightreign,' focusing on its difficulty, its genre-spanning appeal, and its technological drawbacks. After that, they react to the news that Alex Garland is writing and directing an A24-produced 'Elden Ring' movie and try to figure out what the adaptation could look like, before honoring 'Mission: Impossible' by identifying other major media properties that historically have been the most underserved by video games.

On this week's episode, Riley, Luke, and Isaiah intend to talk about a lot of topics, but mostly can't keep themselves from talking about Clair Obscur. We start by talking about two stories Aftermath ran this week: one in favor of parrying in video games, and one against. Those stories kicked off a flurry of discourse on social media, which we found mostly to be in good fun, and we talk about how those kinds of conversations are different now that we're at Aftermath instead of a larger site. Clair Obscur features parrying, so then we talk about that game a whole lot.Then, we discuss this week's layoffs at Electronic Arts, which follow on the heels of *other* layoffs at Electronic Arts. We wonder why several companies have run into trouble with licensed games, and we talk about the challenge of getting players excited about Marvel games when the MCU is facing its own uphill battle.Last, we talk about what games we're playing lately. Luke goes through a lot of games he didn't like before landing on one he did, 9 Kings. Riley wishes he were playing more Clair Obscur, so then we talk about that game a whole bunch more, and we debate whether it can ever be “too late” to talk about a video game.To close, we answer some mailbag questions about the best wrestling moves, what we'd do if we were CEO of EA, and who we trust to give us game recommendations.

ew recording platform, who dis’? Yeah, we’re all a bit excited over some of the new tech we have to produce the show, and we’re all trying to do everything we can to enjoy it while it’s still fresh and shiny in this latest episode of Press Pause Radio. This session is much more casual than the last few episodes as the cast tries to parse out the tumultuous news cycle that came to pass over the last two weeks. George, Ed, and Andrew are on the cans and take the time to discuss various layoffs and terminations seen from Electronic Arts, Polygon, and Giant Bomb (luckily, one of those unfortunate deals got some of the best news ever after the episode was long recorded and sent into production.) There’s also a quick recap of Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and some thoughts on Grand Theft Auto VI getting delayed in 2026. Afterwards, the crew talks about the gamers they’ve been playing, like Rock Band Rivals, Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Division 2, Fantavision 202X, Promise Mascot Agency, Humanity, PSVR 2, Pokémon Brown Version 20th Anniversary Edition, Persona 3 Reload, and a shit ton more! We hope y’all enjoy the show because we’re gearing up for a whole lot more in the coming months!

Our game segment features "GTA Which?", testing our knowledge of Grand Theft Auto series firsts, from GTA III's groundbreaking 3D world to GTA V's character-switching mechanics.

Meanwhile, the industry sees significant financial developments with EA's strong Q4 bookings and AMD facing $1.5 billion in revenue impacts due to chip sale restrictions. In Story Time, we explore The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered's review and discuss GameStop Canada's acquisition by Stephan Tetrault.

 While the Xbox console brand continues to wane, Microsoft's wise pivot to third party publishing is already paying dividends. According to recent financial reports, Xbox is now PlayStation's single biggest publishing partner, dominating PSN's very own pre-order and pre-load charts on the backs of Forza Horizon 5, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Doom: The Dark Ages, not to mention strong performance across its brands, from Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty to Mojang's Minecraft and beyond. It's weird, to be sure, but predictable, too: These one-time rivals are now intrinsically linked, with both sides benefiting mightily from this new normal. With Halo, Gears, Fable, and virtually everything else Xbox-related no doubt en route to PlayStation 5 as we move forward, how deep and fruitful can this new, unusual relationship become? Plus: Long-in-development China Hero Project darling Lost Soul Aside gets delayed, Borderlands 4 experiences the extremely rare move-up in release date, Electronic Arts lays off hundreds and cancels projects at Respawn, and more.

E398 – "Inner Voice: A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan Zeine." In this episode, Dr. Foojan Zeine chats with Mónica Esgueva, Founder of the Ascension Institute, a renowned self-development teacher and spiritual guide known for bridging the gap between Eastern and Western philosophies. With a profound understanding of the mind, human consciousness, and spirituality, she has been helping the transformation of individuals for more than 16 years. Central to Mónica's teaching and studies is the written word. She is the author of 9 books, including the bestseller in Spain and Latin America, "Mindfulness," and her latest book in English, "The 7 Levels of Wisdom." Born with remarkable spiritual awareness, she immersed herself in profound teachings from Tibetan lamas, including the Dalai Lama, during a decade-long exploration in India and Nepal. She teaches programs and guides meditation & transcendence retreats. She has been a TEDx speaker twice, a frequent Spanish national TV guest, and an international event keynote speaker. Recently, Mónica co-directed and hosted her first documentary on spiritual awakening (Despierta), with a more than 1.5 Million views already and is co-directing a new one about the New Earth. Since 2007, she has taught emotional mastery, self-knowledge, and mindfulness to more than 2,500 executives at companies such as Accenture, Samsung, and Electronic Arts. She was honored as one of the Top 100 Women Leaders in Spain and one of the Top 10 awarded "Thinkers and Experts." In addition to Spain, she has lived in Paris, London, and Tanzania. www.monicaesgueva.com     # 1 on the 20 Best California Mental Health Podcasts list by FeedSpot. https://podcasts.feedspot.com/california_mental_health_podcasts/  Check out my website: www.FoojanZeine.com, www.AwarenessIntegration.com, www.Foojan.com   Summary Dr. and Monica discussed Monica's journey to spiritual enlightenment. Monica shared her experiences of feeling different since childhood, her early interest in spirituality, and her decision to leave her comfortable life in Paris to pursue a path of wisdom and compassion. She described her experiences with Tibetan Lamas and the Dalai Lama, which resonated with her and changed her life. Mònica discusses the concept of wisdom, distinguishing it from intelligence and emphasizing its ethical and moral nature. She explains that wisdom is aligned with the greater good and uses the metaphor of an architect (wisdom) and a carpenter (intelligence) to illustrate the difference. Mònica then introduces her book's concept of seven levels of wisdom, describing the first three levels: conformist, expert, and achiever. She notes that society often views the achiever level as the pinnacle, but in her framework, it is only the third of seven levels. She discussed the importance of self-transcendence and the journey towards becoming the best version of oneself. She emphasized the need to question societal norms and become more independent, resilient, and self-actualized. Mónica also highlighted the importance of accepting others as they are, regardless of their behavior and finding peace in the present moment. She suggested that this level of acceptance allows one to see the perfection in everything and live in peace. Dr. added that this unconditional acceptance and love can transform one's life and lead to mental and emotional well-being. Mónica emphasized the importance of personal interpretation and emotional control in shaping one's life experience. She argued that individuals should not be victims of their conditioning or programming but rather empowered by their thoughts and emotions. Dr. agreed, suggesting the need for daily practices to maintain equanimity and fulfillment. Mónica proposed being cautious of the media and technology, and practicing meditation or contemplation to connect with one's inner self. In the meeting, Monica emphasized the importance of introspection, reflection, and presence in daily life. She stressed the need to focus on the present moment rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Monica also highlighted the significance of having a strong moral and ethical compass, as it determines one's future and ensures a positive outcome. Dr. added that living with integrity and making choices based on the present moment can lead to fulfillment and pride in one's actions.   Remember to Subscribe, Listen, Review, and Share!
