EA or Electronic Arts, f*cked up many games like the Harry Potter series, Godfather, Need For Speed, etc.

IMHO, they can do only one thing, SPORTS nothing else.

Ubisoft has always impressed me with the Prince of Persia, Brothers in Arms, CSI, FarCry, Splinter Cell, etc..
I better watch an high def movie than play NFS Carbon on my PC.:mad:

i'm stuck with EA coz they got/had NFS series (my favorite) & F1 Series.

now why was CodeMasters left out in the Poll here.*smilies.sofrayt.com/1/d/spy.gif

They've better Game Developing Tools than EA, compare the year 2004 release-> NFS Unerground2 (NFS U2) & Colin McRae 05 (CMR 05)

the Codemaster's CMR 05 had a lot better Graphic Engine than the EA's, which was not a Resource Hog as that of EA's gfx. engine.

CMR 05 has real time reflection/shadow feature, which does not hamper the gameplay even if you play it on a very low-end PC (P4, 256RAM, GMA900 onboard gfx. card), provided you play it @ 640x400/800x600 resolution.

Well I used to like Ubi, now I started to hate Ubi for releasing bugridden games lately. One of 'em is SCDA.. still can't understand how can they mess up with such a big franchise. My 1500 bucks got wasted here.. I can't hear any ingame sounds here & Ubi is still haven't bothered to fix it. With 1.02 patch they fixed 2 out of 52 bugs & one of 'em is unlockables bug. What gud is this unlockables if I can't even hear the sounds of this stupid game. Dunno how much longer they gonna take to release 1.03 patch!! So... much for QA!!!!

So I didn't vote for Ubi, and also didn't wanted to vote for EA neither!! Due to limited options I opted for EA!! Personally I like Eidos!!

I only wanted to know general opinion about these two gaming firms.

I think a thread should be started

THE Best Game Publishers

> Activision
> Atari
> Codemasters
> Eidos Interactive
> Electronic Arts
> Microsoft Game Studios
> Rockstar Games/Take-Two Interactive
> Sierra
> THQ
> Ubisoft
> Vivendi (Alladin, LionKing, other disney games):D

And, CMR 2005 can/should NOT be compared to Carbon | CMR HAS "MORE" THAN ALL OF CARBON PUT TOGETHER:mad:

^^its true, even the 2004 release CMR05 is hell lot better than 2006 NFS Carbon.

but we cant compare them, best comparision would be between CMR05 & NFS Underground 2. & again CMR will win.

btw are you CMR/simulation racing fan

not particularly.
Just played the 05 version, liked it, played till the 7-8 rounds/?? got a lill out-of-control, shift+del.

Still the graphics were really good, photo perfect in every frame! Specially the cars..;-)

On publishing constraint, both are good.
On developing constraint, my vote goes to Ubisoft.

EA with its sports series and NFS series and UBIsoft with POP seies and Tom Clancy series are both rocking. However, if u look at the game playability, u can play EA games over and over unlike UBISoft ones which may last for about a year or so in the limelight.

Harry Potter series by EA though is for girls only.

If anyone of you have played Silent Hunter III, you would know why that game is called the pinnacle of UBISOFT's publications in recent years.

Whereas EA just fills up all its games with unwanted and irritating Ads...

pinak06 said UBISOFT does not have playability. I disagree. You probably don't know and played all the games published by them.
