Bosses at EA Games are count out front and let on that future games from the studio apartment could be flat influenced by player interactions through the purpose of rooter theories . Everyone remembers the sometimes ridiculous fan hypothesis from ABC ’s TV showLost , but just imagine if the Jehovah had listened to the lover and actually play them to life on the series .
Although the play industry continues to move into boastful and more ambitious games , many titles are yet to full hug the nature of unresolved - macrocosm gaming . This year’sGod of Warand upcoming statute title like Insomniac’sSpider - Man , Red Dead Redemption 2 , andFallout 76look to be some of the adult game ever , but there is still a sense that players are stuck with a elongate storyline .

speak toPolygon , EA ’s Motive Studios founder Jade Raymond let on how developers are only just beginning to scratch up the surface of next - gen gaming . Addressing the popularity of fan hypothesis , Raymond suppose that forthcoming EA title could be directly impacted by the bombilation make by player themselves :
" There ’s always all the sports fan page [ speculating about ] what ’s really going on , what ’s really bechance , right ? How do you create enough unlike layer of theory , but still leave alone the blanks there , where you could kind of , in some cases , based on what players are doing , just do the most shocking matter . But in other times , kind of rent the most democratic idea win . So maybe if there ’s passion for , and this has nothing to do with our game , but just as an example , aliens [ appear ] , why not go with that and let the community have a babe win , and hey you guy cable were correct , it was alien and [ the musician ] sort of cobalt - drop a line in some way . "
She cash in one’s chips on to useGame of Thronesas an example , imagining a gaming world where the most democratic character could be kill off at any moment thanks to the elbow room fan interact with the world :
" allow ’s say you have a traditional faction system and let ’s say players are really gravitate towards this one family , and they ’re the most dear . If you really want to shock the residential area the most , those are the ones you plug in to kill off — based on who actor are really interacting with . "
Although there have been fan hypothesis on how the likes ofThor and Odin could come into play inGod of War 5 , the relatively limited nature of a biz ’s storey mode does n’t permit metre for speculation or creating an ongoing story arc . That being aver , Rocksteady’sArkhamgames were littered with Easter egg to set up next games , so perhaps EA could expand those sorts of ideas into a collaborative storytelling experience ?
EA is currently busy working on its own opened - worldStar Warsgame , but there is still no news on Motive Studios ' mysterious new dealership . While E3 2018 may have seemed like the stark time to announce the mystifying undertaking , Raymond is currently keeping her poster close to her chest . Whether Motive ’s " newfangled " game will utilise any of the above machinist remains to be see , but at least the ideas are there .
Fan theories have become a big deal with shows likeThrones , The Walking Dead , andWestworldbeing helped and hindered by them in equal measure . WhileWestworldexecs have spoken out about how fan theory have ruined some of the show ’s biggest surprises , there ’s no denying that they have also give some great publicity to the HBO series . In contrast , the world of telecasting game is yet to tap into the hype of fan possibility ( for now ) . It sure enough voice like EA could be one of the first publishers to break the mold and raise the cake when it comes to a more immersive way of connecting player to their secret plan .
