Electronic Arts Shuts Down Maxis Emeryville

Well, we all saw that coming. After the hugely disappointing latest part of the SimCity series, EA decided to pull the plug and shut down the studio that was behind it.

Battlefield: Hardline – Dinosaur Head Skins Confirmed

Ever since the release of Battlefield 4, a lot of gamers wished for a dino mode. And while the latest rumours suggested that Battlefield: Hardline would feature something like that, we can safely say – at this point – that those rumours were not accurate.

Obviously, this won’t satisfy those that wanted a proper dino mode in Battlefield, but then again it’s cool knowing that Visceral and EA are aware of the high demand for such a thing. Below you can view two videos showing the raptor head skin in action. Enjoy! Continue reading Battlefield: Hardline – Dinosaur Head Skins Confirmed
