Re: Another farewell thread...

As you can probably guess, I will no longer be working on Elite and have moved on to a new project here at EAC. As such I won't around these parts very often.

I just wanted to take the time to say good bye to everyone here.

You may find this hard to believe, but I will always have very fond memories of the time I spent working on Elite, and the time I spent on this forum is certainly a highlight in that experience.

You guys have a great community here, and I wish you all the best. I was always treated with respect, even in the midst of heated discussions, and will always remember that.

I'm genuinely sorry that we didn't deliver the game you guys wanted. There's not much more to say than that I guess.

I know a lot of the guys down at Tiburon and I'm confident the game is in good hands. Be sure to keep them honest though

Thanks again,

Geoff Harrower a.k.a rEAnimator

I think you would be perfect on SCEA's baseball development team (that is, if you like baseball)...you're a real class act like Ramone Russell the rest of the crew in San Deigo.

I wish the best for you...sad it didn't go as planned but it's undeniable that you put your best effort to make the game great.

Re: Another farewell thread...

Like I said to Blackflash, eventhough things didn't work out with Elite. You were here until the end and I respect that. Good luck in future projects.

I was hoping things would be handled better. EA EA EA


Thanks again for an honest perspective.

Re: Another farewell thread...

rEAnimator, your time and interaction in this forum was much appreciated. Best of luck to you in the future.

As someone who has played the retail version of Elite 11, let me say that I have had a blast with it. It is the most fun I have ever had playing a basketball video game. Yes the game has it's issues and flaws, but the new shooting method along with the new physics engine is amazing.

I really hope that the new EA NBA team sticks with this and builds on it instead of going back to the old "Live" button shooting scheme.

This game was definitely unfailrly bashed by the critics, who never really gave it a chance to begin with. That along with that ghetto idiot's Youtube video of the PS3 demo was probably the final nail in the coffin.

Regardless, thanks for putting out a great game and it's a damn shame that the powers to be @ EA buckled under pressure and didn't give the public an opportunity to evaluate the game for themselves.

Take care man.
