  • i miss destroy all humans :(((((( why did they shut down, hope they make a new destroy all humans

    

  • fuck EA they fucking ruin everything, Pandemic was awesome they made great games and my personal favorite merc 1, you guys are the best!

  • This is why I don't buy EA anymore. They shut down the studio responsible for Star Wars Battlefront, so they suck HARD.

    You guys smack that printer good.

  • whats the song is the beginning....?

  • YEAH, GORDAN FREEMAN THAT SHIT BRO

    FUCK EA

  • Full Spectrum Warrior

    Mercenaries

    Saboteur

    RIP Pandemic Studios, i'll be missing you :(

  • @PirateFromVoid Don't forget Star Wars Battlefront I & II. If I close my eyes I can almost imgaine that they aren't making a game about a freaking space marine and instead about something FUN.

  • I want more in The Saboteur series :( Best game!

  • Thank you for the star wars battlefront and mercenaries games, I had a shitload of fun while playing.

    thanks of being part of my gaming history

  • Thanks for making the saboteur-my favorite sand box game.

    If only there could have been a sequel :'(

  • fucking brilliant!

  • Mercenaries POD still is my favourite game! Thnx for it!

  • Battlezone 2 was one of the greatest games ever created, shame we wont see a third :(.

    Thanks for my Battlezone filled Childhood guys :)

  • You guys created amazing games. Not the first good thing EA has killed!

  • I liked Full Spectrum Warrior.

  • I just want you guys to know that I LOVED Mercenaries2. Pandemic Studios imagined and created some damn fun games (with very good design too) and that made for HOURS of F*n fun times for a lot of us.

    Godspeed, you gangsters. : D

  • @TheColdpress

    Thanks!

  • EA, say good bye to my money >:(

  • I loved all of Pandemics games..EA should burn in hell for murdering them.

  • Pox: wait for it,..here it comes DESTROY ALL EA!!!!

  • Fuck EA

    I loved Pandemic, especially with Destroy All Humans and Destroy All Humans 2

    I still play them too

  • 1:09 got the toner! They deserved better. Nice job, EA.

  • Screw EA, this would have been a great last video blog.

    Does anyone know if there is any chance of a Mercs 3? Mercs 2 was awesome. Good job Pandemic, you guys had the most awesome games ever.

  • I WANT MY BATTLEFRONT 3 :(

  • but...but....Dark Reign 3?

  • I watched this while listening to the theme song from Saboteur and it made it all the better.

    watch?v=u7xKlOwbSpI

  • First Westwood now Pandemic? Seriously EA the fuck? the fuck?

  • EA is a no talent ass-clown

  • DAH is in a very deep part of my heart

  • Personally, I would have dragged Larry Probst and John Riccitiello out there, but I guess that would make it a crime. Though they most definitely would deserve it.

  • There will never be The Saboteur 2.

    Feels bad man.

  • You should ok fwpt it!

  • since this studio was shut down by ea, i think the games should be released as freeware. as an apology for shutting down a great game developer.

  • O and you should have added an EA logo on the printer.

  • Every game Pandemic Studios made was gold. Even if Star Wars Battlefront 3 is made, it will never be the same :(((

    Stupid EA can burn in hell. They're already starting to fuck up DICE, with more and more stupid CODish gameplay and small maps.(BC series)

  • EA can suck dick i hate EA and im getting sick and tired of the sports games like Madden like really do they really need to make another gay madden every dam year like WTF its the same shit so fuck EA the company who should Destroy EA ia Activision :D

  • I really wish Mercenaries 3 would be made. Sadly, it won't because Pandemic Studios is closed down. When I found out Pandemic closed down I almost cried. Star Wars Battlefront 3 will more than likely never be made, Destroy All Humans is practically dead with Path of the Furon, and you will never be able to call any vehicle, airstrike, supply or a Nuclear Bunker fuckin' Buster ever again. I fucking hate EA.

  • Playing The Saboteur right now. Very fun game. I would have loved to see them do a sequel and continue refining the game. Sucks hard.

  • I'm still sad playground of destruction will never get a proper sequel, and that there will never be a real SWBF3

  • Fuck EA! man pandemic was one of he best game developpers! and because of those fucking rich dumbfucks EA now they are closed! man i always hated EA but when i heard pandemic was gona get closed down i wanted to take a fucking crap on their chest and make them eat it! FUCK EA!!

    Pandemic! we love you!

  • EA Really Fucked up that time, i loved The Saboteur game and was waiting for a second one untill i read the sad news about Pandemic Shutting down cause of EA :/

  • few nerdes pretending to be gangsters

  • Wouldn't mind if EA bought Infinity Ward...

  • no mercenaries 3 :( :( :( :(

  • yesss office space

  • No wonder they closed, if this is how creative their employees were... plagiarizing some 10 year old movie...

  • @xpez How dare you badmouth Pandemic. >:(

  • @xpez How dare you badmouth Pandemic Studios! >:(

  • @xpez It's called an homage. Look it up kiddo.

  • @UncleDeluxe if you really want to be generous and stretch the hell out of the meaning. Typically an HOMAGE is using another artists work in your own work as a sign of respect and honor. They are just copying the scene, they are not trying to produce a whole entirely new film. To further my point, in this context, they should have destroyed a gaming device, a computer, or monitor to reflect their true frustration with THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE with the corporate vg industry. This misses the mark.

  • @xpez Was it then not an homage (or perhaps satire) of Office Space? Good job contradicting yourself, bud.

  • @UncleDeluxe If you must insist on calling this an HOMAGE, SO be it...

    To me an HOMAGE must have a little more going on than just an identical replication of the original work..and this is a poor replication... If we must praise 6th graders for making an homage so be it...IT IS AN HOMAGE...you are correct...

  • god dammit that is fucking anoying that they closed so many good games

  • I remember i used to love EA....... UNTIL THEY FUCKED EVERYTHING UP NOW I FUCKING HATE EM AND IM A FUCKING GAMER THOSE SHITHEADS I FUCKING LOVED Pandemic BUT NOW FUCK EA I WISH I COULD JUST UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!! WE SHOULD ALL PAY PANDEMIC TO MAKE A DIFFERENT COMPANY WITH SAME EVERYTHING BUT A DIFFERENT NAME AND SEE IF EA FUCK WITH EM AND IF THEY DO WE SHALL ALL SUE EA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P pandemic studios :'(

  • laserjet 4000s are tough, but this one might been dead.

  • @woodss82 The printer wasn't dead but it would have been scrapped anyway.

  • Damn Synergy today was a downerday at new work. Gotta watch out for 11/17/09 in da futures!

  • pandemic studios for ever

    lets remember their great games:

    sw batlefront 1&2

    mercenaries 1&2

    the saboteur

    Full Spectrum Warrior 1&2

    Destroy All Humans 2...

  • i lol'd

  • whos going to make battlefront 3 now? :(

  • will forever love pandemic for there star wars battlefront games

  • I hate EA for closing down Pandemic The mercenaries series was the best they ever made!

  • @lieutenanterrrrrrrr No, EA Fucked up long ago. They fucked up Command and Conquer 4 too. They have screwed most great series. Mercenaries WAS going to have a number 3, Looks like no longer. Rest in Peace Pandemic

  • Pandemic studio's last games was atleast one of the most brilliant and underated game ever!

  • Make sure to recycle.

  • i dont understand why they cant just build back up?? i mean thats how they started right, i know it costs money but surely they have some from the previous games they made eh? i never knew they shut down until today, my favourite games by them where the battlefront games, liked the others too.

  • rip pandemic what the f man i loved mercs 2 when it came out and what happened to saboteur?!!!

  • R.I.P. Pandemic and very good taste in music.

  • Comment removed

  • @SlowDaddie

    These are real employees. Thats a real Pandemic printer, which technically belongs to EA since they own the whole studio. This isn't about "avenging" anything. Again, you've missed the point. Have you even seen the movie "Office Space"?

  • dunno how smart this is, since Pandemic employees will recognize who these people are. I can recognize one of them, and they're car is in the first shot too.

  • @SlowDaddie

    I think you missed the point.  By a lot.

  • @SlowDaddie Even if EA took them too court, it would be over ruled. Theirs no 100% proof.

  • @Crisis742 There isn't really 100% proof for anything, but they would have to argue against the evidence that's clearly shown in the video itself and all the witnesses who can identify them. just sayin. Guilty by the conditions that are present. You can't honestly believe that somehow this was actually a smart thing to do, either. i'm just sayin.

  • @SlowDaddie yah I agree with you it was pretty stupid, I still think its stupid that this studio got shutdown even though they made great games like Star Wars Battlefront 1&2, that sold millions of copies

  • Way to litter, guys.

  • @DragoonOfSilence

    Way to make an assumption. I guess you also think they left the camera behind too since they walk away from it in the last shot.

  • @shaocaholica I doubt Dragoon was serious.

  • dam u ea why did you have to close down pandemic.....no more merc forms this is some bull shit....i hope that this game called mercs inc comes out and revives whats left of pandemic

  • You people really believe Kotaku? Kotaku is the biggest troll website in existence...they're the same ones that said "ps2's are just recently being sold in Brazil"...

  • EA: killing video games one game at a time. hopefully bioware isnt ruined by them. so far EA hasnt completly fucked them up, so hopefully.

  • Fuck NOOOO!!!

    Its not fair!!!

    Battlefron 3????????????????

    i was looking after that game!!

  • same hear dude I'm pretty disappointed

  • Dark Reign 3 Nooooooooooooooo :(

  • Hella

  • @celticrune12345 it's not like EA hasnt done any stupid thing . but Bioware is their golden studio . it's like activision closing InfinityWard . maybe not infinityward but you get my idea .

  • @Hikayuhuy Activision recently fired Infinity Wards

  • @comeonanythingrandom Uhh ... No they did not "fired" IW . They fired 2 employees =/= they close the studio . Jesus , dude. Get your fact straight .

  • Battlefront 3  :'(

  • RIP:

    Westwood Studios

    Pandemic Studios

    EALA Dev team

    You guys made some great games. Shame that EA fucked you over.

    They better not do this to BioWare. If they screw over BioWare, I will be pissed.

  • totally agree with u Butters, EA has been letting go of some good developers and i will miss them.

  • crowbar = gordon freeman

    baseballbat = BONK!

  • Battlefront MUST LIVE ON

  • Pandemic you'll be missed. I will fondly remember the "play safe" condoms your hot booth-girl gave me many years ago. Not so fondly will I remember the rejection by said booth-girl and the consequent non use of said birth control device. Hey it's the thought that counts!

  • R.I.P. Pandemic Studios

    I don't see why EA couldn't just let them go independent or sell them rather then shut them down.

  • R.I.P pandemic, maker of some of the greatest games ever

  • whats the name of the song at :45?

  • =( no more Battlefront 3... no more Mercenaries... sad.. =.( cant believe it... fuck EA!

    RIP Pandemic

  • I would not expect anything less awesome from one of my favorite (former) developers. This studio and the people who ran it kick ass to the end.

    RIP-Pandemic

    RIP-Westwood

    I hope that the monster that we know as EA does not ruin Bioware. When Pandemic was bought by EA I knew nothing good would come out of it and I guess I was right.

  • I guess every Pandemics gotta go.. even the awesome one

  • EA = Electronic Assholes.

  • cool =)

  • Hey, I made a tribute to this awesome company aswell if anyone wants to see. I will really miss pandemic, they made some awesome games and Mercenaries 1 and 2 were some of my favorite games of all time. R.I.P. Pandemic

  • no more mathias nilsson. now he was fucking hardcore:D

  • That explain. The budget cuts in doing Mercenaries 2. They have put in so much but the Multiplayer system FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pandemic is dead because of that, Made 3 month on shelf then 60 percent discount on Mercenaries two didn't even boost the sales or the popularity of Mercenaries games. It wasted too much energies in positioning their theme in a realistic Location. They got into trouble with the real Venezuela Government. FAREWELL and SINCERE. Please bring back the real Mercenaries,Pandemic

  • No. It was all EA's fault, EA put their standards on Pandemic Studios, I.E. RAPE.

    EA fucked up, fucked up big time.

    They do this all the time, find a good product and turn its sequels to shit.

  • now i got two nemesis, WMD and EA.

  • @lieutenanterrrrrrrr still mercenaries 2 vs Brink i choose mercenaries 2 every time screw EA mercenaries 2 vs battlefield mercenaries 2 is better then the crap ea is selling now a days (i know brink is not sold by ea just saying)

  • man i wanted battlefront 3 to come out

  • wow no starwars battlefront 3 anymore.....fuck T_T

  • Wow...toner's a bitch.

  • wow black smoke

  • yea u guys made lots of great games and it would suck if u left gaming.

  • someone smart will hire you guys, don't give up

  • If EA doesn't screw up Dead Space 2, I'll forgive them for their shitty sports games.

  • EA has many studios.why cant they just merged them?i feel sorry for those who lost their job.

    obviously,the hammer is the most effective tool. lol

  • I really liked Pandemic Studios, they made some good stuff and they had the best ever logo.

    Stupid EA, I hate their face.

  • @JoshDaGoodfella Amen... R.I.P. , Pandemic. I'll miss you to much.

  • THE GAMERS NEED TO RISE UP AGAINST EA!!!! BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!!

    -January 29th, 2012 EA buys Activision and Infinity Ward.

    -June 18th, 2012 EA buys Bioware.

    -August 5th, 2012 EA buys EPIC Games.

    -December 20th, 2012 EA buys Bungie Studios.

    -December 21st, 2012 World Ends. Cycle of extinction repeats for eternity.

    THE FUTURE!!! But seriously, EA sucks.

  • @acidviper13 EA already owns Bioware. There is no chance that EA will buy EPIC or bungie though. But EA, I do love their games but they do need to stop raping and killing off all the awesome smaller game makers around. I mean where would we be if Id software had been "EA Raped" by a similar company before they made Wolf 3d? EA's just preventing all the inevitable ground breaking games that these people are capable of.

  • @MetalDeathMusic

    Gah, I actually meant to say Valve...

    I hope that everyone realizes my comment was a joke... >.>

  • you guys are the shit. fuck EA, you guys will make it.

  • whats the name of the first song. Its so sick

  • Damn it feels good to be a gangsta by Geto Boys.

  • I love the feathers, it shows they kept their sense of humor :)

  • of course they kept their sense of humour... they're parodying a scene from a comedy movie

  • They shut down one of their decent studios. Geez.

  • Nice video. Sorry you guys got laid off. Keep your heads up.

  • The fucks up with you guys,rip this,rip that...

    Lets go and trash EA offices its time for retribution damn it!

  • Pandemic needs to start again under a new publisher (one thats not an asshole)

  • Fuck EA...

  • Damnit! Pandemic was beast.

  • your just a dumbass just dont speak thats like calling the beatles gay

  • Not the Newest one...

  • so battlefront 2 is shitty if your answer is yes then literally just jump off a cliff no no joke.

  • RIP Pandemic. Man, getting laid off sucks. Just hang in there =(

  • I said "Dark Reign WAS best rts OF ITS TIME", it was released yeae 2000. Also I didnt say a word about DAH2 as I havent played it but DAH1 was pure awesomness.

  • wow thats hardcore

  • battlefront games were so fun!!!

  • Damn dude, These guys were amazing, Mercs, Battlefront, just damn. Sucks to see them get closed down with so much other shitty devs continuing.

  • R.I.P. Pandemic

    Thanks for sharing your ideas, enthusiasm, passion, hard work, and sacrifices. Good luck to all of you in the future.

    /salute

  • why pandemic WHYYYYY

  • R.I.P. Pandemic

    *Salutes*

  • Note how the cocksucking started AFTER their purchase by EA. Blame those cunts.

  • Idiot Pandemic was so successful it was too expensive for EA to keep running because EA is a bunch of greedy asses.

  • @Guyver89 actually pandemic wasnt uber successful there games were actually pretty bad i hate to say it well mercenaries 1 was damn fun and so was the sabetour but besides that they were pretty trashy

  • Trashy?!

    For the love of god, Battlezone 2 changed the whole RTS-genre and Dark Reign was best RTS of its time. Destroy All Humans still has MUCH better gameplay than GTA5 and is more fun eventho its 5 yearls older!

  • destroy all humans sucked the biggest of penis the first one was pretty fun though and i never heard of dark reign i think world in conflict is the best rts tho ill give pandemic some props though for trying to introduce new ideas to played out genres wheter they were succesful or not

  • @Guyver89 and full spectrum was pretty badass

  • mercs was a pretty sweet game but with some minor flaws, but saboteur is just pure crap, if saboteur would've had been released like 3 years ago it couldve had been good, but by todays standards.. nono ;)

  • and what is today's standards? ARE YOU the man that gets to decide today's standards for videogaming? Sir unless you are miyamoto or one of the "big" developers, then you have no right to say that.

  • No im not the one who decides todays standards, but the games that are coming out Decide what the standards are. And having played all titles that have come out i can clearly see this is nowhere near what other games of today have to offer.

  • battlefront was sweet

  • Sad that they had to go. I'd wished they were given another chance.

    But what's everybody's problem with EA? Where's the hate for that fucking stupid developer called Activision?

  • Pandemic people, mmm, yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and ask you not to come in on Sunday, too. We've got some new people coming in and we... don't need to play catch-up. Thanks!

  • RIP Pandemic.

  • hmmm maybe in the future they return always have hope guys

  • lol they tickled it with feathers lol

  • They got style...unlike the rest of EA

  • :( We shall remember you pandemic, we shall remember you

  • ROCK!

  • I love these games manufacturer. I will never forget them and hit Mercenaries 2 is the best game on Playstation 2 And how do you please the name of that song is the beginning of this video?

  • Actually you cant tell how you look like. The human remembers a face very good if they know how the eyes look like.

  • xD Office Space!!!

    To bad you didn't do the ending, when somone like goes crazy and starts kicking it and the other two like drags him away :D

  • Full spectrum warrior was awesome

  • Uh... you're missing the point

  • I always feel sorry when I see a studio shutting down, even if Pandemic has never proven to me that it's anything more than mediocre. Mercenaries 1 was fun, Battlefront too even if the AI was terrible and the overall gameplay mechanics were too simple. Merc 2 and BF2 were actually worse than the originals and that Lord of the Rings thing was downright terrible. That goes for Destroy all Humans as well. Yes, Battlezone was good, but that was so long ago. Still, I fell bad for them, RIP.

  • Goed music, but it is sad for the people who get fired.

  • Прощание с народом просто класс!)))

  • LOL... Krazykizza ... nub... :P

    Pandemic did Mercenaries, I believe.

    Loved the office space remake, hated that 200 people had to lose their paycheck for it to be made.
