[cdj]

Please post game-specific news in an existing thread or create a thread, if necessary.


Microsoft

When: June 10 from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. PDT (find your local time)
Where: GameTrailers.com, IGN.com, Xbox.com, Xbox LIVE (via Xbox 360), Spike TV (U.S. and Canada only)

A followup to Microsoft’s entertainment-focused Xbox One reveal last month, this time the company promises it’s all about the games (and likely a price and release date reveal). In fact, according to GameTrailers TV’s Geoff Keighley, it’ll be “90 minutes of wall to wall games.”

Expect to hear more about Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse, and Quantum Break, a “historic” Rare IP, and some of those other 11 exclusive games in development at Microsoft Game Studios. Considering past E3s, it’s safe to expect a Call of Duty: Ghosts stage demo, too.

After: Microsoft will also host three days of hour-long coverage on Xbox LIVE and Xbox.com from June 11 to 13 at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET.

Electronic Arts

When: June 10 from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. PDT (find your local time)
Where: GameTrailers.com, EA.com, IGN.com, Spike TV (U.S. and Canada only)

Electronic Arts will highlight its next-generation lineup with Battlefield 4, Need for Speed: Rivals, Dragon Age III: Inquisition, Madden NFL 25, FIFA 14, NBA LIVE 14, and EA Sports UFC. The publisher will also provide a “first look” at its plans for the Star Wars franchise, the rights to which they required last month. A sequel to Mirror’s Edge might also appear for next-gen consoles.

Ubisoft

When: June 10 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. PDT (find your local time)
Where: GameTrailers.com, IGN.com

Ubisoft will show Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, likely with an emphasis on next-gen, as well as Rayman Legends, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Expect further announcements, including “exclusive next-generation games, innovative editions of popular franchises, and new brands and titles,” with Aisha Taylor again at the helm of it all. Rumor has it Driver studio Ubisoft Reflections is developing a new racer called ”The Crew.”

Sony

When: June 10 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. PDT (find your local time)
Where: GameTrailers.com, Google Plus, IGN.com, PlayStation Blog, Ustream, PlayStation Home, PS Vita (via Nico Nico video app)

A followup to February’s PlayStation 4 reveal, Sony will unveil the console’s final hardware and make new game announcements. Confirmed appearances include a stage demo for Bungie’s Destiny and the reveal of a new Final Fantasy for PlayStation 4 (rumored to be Final Fantasy Versus XIII).

Other games speculated to appear include the next title from God of War developer Santa Monica Studio, the next game from Naughty Dog’s Uncharted team, Media Molecule’s new game, Guerrilla Games’ second project, Ready at Dawn’s PlayStation 4 title, and others.

We’ll likely see more of Knack, inFAMOUS: Second Son, DriveClub, and Killzone: Shadow Fall, too. A release date and price for PlayStation 4 are also expected. Considering Sony also has PlayStation 3 and PS Vita to support, expect a portion of time dedicated to both platforms with both new and previously announced games like Beyond, Gran Turismo 6, Tearaway, and Killzone: Mercenary.

After: Sony will host three days of show floor coverage from 12 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, on Ustream. Over 40 games will be previewed across PlayStation 4, PS3, and PS Vita.

Nintendo

When: June 11 at 7 a.m. PDT (find your local time)
Where: Nintendo.com (US), Nintendo.co.uk (EU), Nintendo.co.jp (JP)

Nintendo has confirmed it will show a new 3D Mario, Super Smash Bros., and Mario Kart for Wii U. The next project from Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong Country Returns developer Retro Studios is also expected.

The company should also shed light on other titles like The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Monolith Soft’s new RPG, Yarn Yoshi, and Bayonetta 2. A few game announcements shouldn’t be put past them, either.

After: Nintendo will continue providing coverage throughout E3 at Nintendo.com. Additionally, on June 11 at 6 p.m. PDT, Nintendo will hold a media-only, 90-minute Pokemon X and Y event. It will not be streamed.

[SmoothPancakes]

Nice, get everything knocked out and out of the way right off the bat with no waiting with Microsoft, EA and Ubisoft, and then one or two things throughout the days with Square Enix.

Other than that, Game Trailers TV on Tuesday at 1pm and maybe a couple of the Twitch TV game demonstrations.

Actually a rather short week for my interest in E3 this year. Pretty much everything is specifically Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday, not really much of anything that I care about.

[JBHuskers]

Wow...Sony not until 8 at night (central).

[I OU a Beatn]

Microsoft revealing over 20 games during their conference tomorrow according to Phil Spencer. Before the show during the pre-show, they're revealing the Summer of Arcade titles and an additional Xbox One title. Rumors also say they're revealing a few more Xbox One titles after their conference, so they've got all kinds of stuff tomorrow.

Personally, I'm only watch Microsoft's and Sony's. I couldn't care less about the publishers' conferences. However, if either Microsoft or Sony pull an Usher or Wonderbook debacle again, I'll more than happily stop watching them, too.

[CLW]

Wow...Sony not until 8 at night (central).

Prime time more people capable of watching.

[JBHuskers]

Prime time more people capable of watching.

Normally I have to rush home from work to catch it.

[I OU a Beatn]

Prime time more people capable of watching.

Yeah, but that also backfires. It's not on TV like the other conferences because of it being in prime time, and people over in Europe are a lot less likely to watch it being that it'll be 2 a.m. over there when it starts.

[souljahbill]

Nintendo is having a Nintendo Direct tomorrow. I know I'm probably the only one who still enjoys a Mario game over an FPS but thought I should acknowledge their presence.

[cdj]

A free-to-play game, Destiny of Spirits (Vita) unveiled during GameTrailers pre-E3 stream.

Kinect Sports Rivals. X1 Day 1.

[SCClassof93]

Guys, is it reasonable to expect any info on NCAA today from folks at the show?

[JBHuskers]

Guys, is it reasonable to expect any info on NCAA today from folks at the show?

Hasn't been the past few years. Basically it comes down to timing. Almost everything is out already, so the limited E3 time that EA (not just sports) gets is more for the future of their games.

[cdj]

Guys, is it reasonable to expect any info on NCAA today from folks at the show?

From EA presser? No. It appears to be all next-gen today.

I think we will get plenty of videos & info from attendees on the floor, however I don't think that will be until tomorrow and throughout the week.

[cdj]

Rare dev basically let it slip that Xbox One will be out in November (which I think most expected).

[SCClassof93]

Thanks guys! I assume nothing will come from EA. I meant guys on the floor as to game play, team ratings etc

[gschwendt]

Thanks guys! I assume nothing will come from EA. I meant guys on the floor as to game play, team ratings etc
The floor doesn't open up until tomorrow... today is just the big press events.

[I OU a Beatn]

I wonder if Perfect Dark is getting revived. I was never into that series, but it would definitely appeal to a lot of people. I'm guessing it's either that or Banjo and Kazooie. I don't know of any other "classic" games Rare has developed.

[JBHuskers]

Almost showtime :up:

[I OU a Beatn]

Oh yeah, Killer Instinct I guess. I never understood what all the rage was about that. :D

[psuexv]

It's 12:31.... Come on!!!

[JBHuskers]

Oh yeah, Killer Instinct I guess. I never understood what all the rage was about that. :D

I played it on SNES, and was cool and all, but how would it stand out from the rest of the fighters out there now?

[JBHuskers]

Metal Gear Solid open world. Interesting.

[punter]

I really really really hope the first thing that EA talks about is how much time and changes they put into teambuilder this year. :popcorn:

[cdj]

Xbox Briefing under way.

Begins with video for Konami's Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

[morsdraconis]

Game is pretty, but good god I don't give two fucks about Metal Gear Solid. Talk about boring as shit.

[I OU a Beatn]

Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo 3. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[cdj]

New 360 SKU coming to match look of Xbox One. Available today.

Live Gold membership carries over to XB1. Start 7/1 thru XB1 launch, two free games per month for Gold members. ACII & Halo 3.

[morsdraconis]

Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo 3 for free for XBL Gold Members. (yawn)

[JBHuskers]

So MS is doing what PS+ is doing with free games, but only crappier and older :D

[cdj]

Video shown for World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition.

[morsdraconis]

Wow. Are they really trying to make a big deal about a free to play shitty tank game in World of Tanks for the Xbox 360? :smh:

[SCClassof93]

Wow. Are they really trying to make a big deal about a free to play shitty tank game in World of Tanks for the Xbox 360? :smh:

[JBHuskers]

Nice try Major.

Of course it's free to play. The PC game is free to play. You're going to see A LOT of free to play games coming to the consoles. 95% of them are going to be shit because 95% of them are shit on the PC too.

[cdj]

Two final X360 videos:

- Max: The Curse of Brotherhood
- Dark Souls II

Now on to Xbox One.....

[morsdraconis]

Why in the fuck would you make Dark Souls 2 for the 360!? God that game looks like shit.

[JBHuskers]

Two final X360 videos:

- Max: The Curse of Brotherhood
- Dark Souls II

Now on to Xbox One.....

Thanks for the play by play CDJ. After 12:30, I will need it :)

[cdj]

Xbox One: More games in development than ever before.


New franchise:
Ryse: Son of Rome. Developed by CryTek

[JBHuskers]

Ryse looks badass.

[I OU a Beatn]

Ryse looks incredible.

[morsdraconis]

Ryze looked cool until the combat looked stagnant as fuck with all the dumb ass quicktime events. :smh:

God forbid you make a combat system where you can do cool stuff without stopping the action to flash a button. :smh:

[bdoughty]

QTE's suck.

[I OU a Beatn]

Yeah, Ryse is a day one game for me. I can't believe Crytek is behind that. :D

[CLW]

So MS is doing what PS+ is doing with free games, but only crappier and older :D

Don't "bash" MS/XB1 or Smooth will come down and call you a [CENSORED]. :nod:

344133383531683841


Thank the Lord... that would have blown up the internet.

That definitely would have been a pretty decent "coup" for MS.

Is Ryse a XB1 exclusive? I cannot follow much today so I'll just pop in and out trying to pick up any details before tonight.

It has a rabid fanbase for some reason. That's all I've been reading about the past month. I don't get it either.

[gschwendt]

[morsdraconis]

Why show a fuckin' game if you're going to just show some dumb ass out of engine video shit?! What a waste of time Insomniac.

[I OU a Beatn]

Insomniac just needs to give up.

Ryse the only thing so far that interests me

[JBHuskers]

Forza 5. I need to play 3 & 4 yet :D

[morsdraconis]

Forza 5, aka, exactly like the other two games. (yawn)

You make a GREAT racing game (the best out there in fact) but it's all the same as fuckin' Forza 2. No difference besides some extra cars, pretty graphics, and like 5 different tracks. Otherwise, it's exactly the same thing.

[JBHuskers]

Cloud AI sounds pretty cool. Oh but it's not AI.

[bdoughty]

Finally a racing game I do not have to play, just let the cloud do it for me.

[morsdraconis]

Ok, wow. Drivatar is dumb as fuck sounding as a "word" but it's DAMN cool implementation if it actually does what they are saying.

Quantum Break unveiled. Will be TV show as well, with show & game intertwined (see Defiance). Exclusive to Xbox One.

Premise is that character cam temporarily pause time.

[SCClassof93]

Lord, I am starting to want The Price Is Right Footage. :glare:

It's an interesting idea and I'm sure people are gonna do some interesting stuff with it, but it's just dumb to do something like this for a fuckin' console.

[I OU a Beatn]

It's amazing to me how these guys think "sharing" is somehow an important feature.

HOWEVER, as I'm typing, Twitch integration with streaming will be HUGE. No wonder Sony had to settle for Ustream.

[psuexv]

Twitch integration

[cdj]

Xbox Live Presentation:

Xbox Smartglass built into Xbox One. One example is a timeline for Ryse: Son of Rome. See where friend is at in the game, get realtime stat comparisons. She is able to play Ryse while next match is being set-up in background for Killer Instinct.

Will be a Tournament Edition Madcats controller for Killer Instinct.

Upload Studio: game was auto-recorded by Game DVR. User can edit, share, and upload gameplay. Can add commentary & skin.

Twitch: Can stream games automatically. Kinect allows voice & video to become part of broadcast.

Friends list: No limit.

No more Microsoft Points, only real currency.

Xbox Live Gold sharing.

If they said, I missed it.


IMO, it was one of the better parts of the MS presser, but was way too short. I wonder if that was by design.....They probably did not want 'Xbox Live' hanging out there with the 'online once every 24 hours' debate going on.

[gschwendt]

Dead Rising 3 looks good... hopefully not exclusive or at least on PC.

[morsdraconis]

(yawn) Another boring ass zombie game with no character development at all.

Yeah, open world Witcher. I like this.

WTF is "smart glass"? Is that basically just tablet/touch screens that have been added to PCs now via Windows 8?

[morsdraconis]

(sigh) Same old boring ass rollercoaster ride bullshit singleplayer FPS. :smh:


God forbid you think out of the fuckin' box.

[CLW]

B4: Second Assault first on Xbox One.

EA is certainly much more "friendly" with MS than Sony for whatever reason (most likely $). "First" by how long I suppose (not that I care b/c its just another FPS to me).

[morsdraconis]

If didn't know it was Battlefield, I'd think it was fuckin' Call of Duty. All these shitty FPSs look the same. :smh:

[I OU a Beatn]

As expected, Battlefield looks great.

[I OU a Beatn]

EA is certainly much more "friendly" with MS than Sony for whatever reason (most likely $). "First" by how long I suppose (not that I care b/c its just another FPS to me).

I told you what it was. Microsoft agreed to DRM; Sony wouldn't.

It's a HUGE thing because look at how much better Call of Duty sells on Xbox. Now Battlefield content comes out first. You'd think Sony would know better to at least get ONE of them. Now Microsoft first content on the 2 biggest online shooters.

XBOX first for DLC doesn't really bother me at all.

[I OU a Beatn]

Dedicated servers. 60 FPS. HOLY SHIT.

[cdj]

Xbox One launches in November - $499 in US.

[gschwendt]

$500... Sony can easily beat that IMO.

[I OU a Beatn]

XBOX first for DLC doesn't really bother me at all.

It probably wont bother anyone here. However, for the people who love those shooters, it's definitely going to tempt them to buy it on Xbox One over PS4.

[I OU a Beatn]

I guess those $349 for PS4 and $399 for One rumors were loads of BS.

[CLW]

Is it me or does the audience go nuts every time 60FPS is mentioned?

Yeah they do and probably should. IMHO that's probably going to be the "biggest" leap this gen 1080P at 60 FPS. Few (if any) games did both on PS3/360.

[JBHuskers]

Wow $500?

[CLW]

$500... Sony can easily beat that IMO.

Wow that's high! If Sony comes out with a $400 price tag its game over.

Both companies can shove that price tag directly up their asses. There's no god damn way I'm gonna pay $500 for a fuckin' console. Guess that means it's gonna be $600 for the "better" version of it too. Jesus christ. :smh:

[JBHuskers]

My guess will be $400 for PS4.

[morsdraconis]

Your just a Sony fanboy! :nod:

No. I'm a PC fanboy. Sony needs to do some amazing shit to make me pay for their shit too. $500 I could make my PC have TWICE the video card power as either of these shitty consoles (already have twice the RAM and twice the processing power).

[I OU a Beatn]

My guess will be $400 for PS4.

Don't hold your breath. More expensive RAM, more expensive GPU, etc... Granted, it's minus the Kinect, but if the One is $499, I don't see any lower than $449 for PS4.

[CLW]

My guess will be $400 for PS4.

That's been my "guess" $399.99 (for the larger HDD) and $349.99 (for the smaller HDD). But I'm assuming there are 2. Was there only 1 XB1? If so, I guess that means the "subsidized" rumor isn't true.

[gschwendt]

Never been a fan of mech style games but this one at least looks interesting...

[morsdraconis]

It also doesn't have the HDMI input and the contract that they have to have with Comcast, DirecTV, etc.

[I OU a Beatn]

HOLY SHIT at Titanfall.

[morsdraconis]

Never been a fan of mech style games but this one at least looks interesting...

That's because it's not a mech game, it's a FPS with "mechs" in it (those aren't fuckin' mechs and they don't move like mechs at all. They can fuck off with their "mech game")... ;)

[I OU a Beatn]

Personally, I was impressed by the show.

Titanfall just became my most anticipated game. Dead Rising 3 looked really good. So did Ryse. Halo at 60 FPS and on dedicated servers makes me salivate. I was expecting anywhere between $400 and $500 so that's no problem with me.

Definitely getting one of these bad boys on launch day.

[JBHuskers]

[I OU a Beatn]

Eh, I just don't see a next gen console going that low. I thought $399 was on the absolute low end, and if the weaker console is $100 above that, I just don't see Sony pricing it at $399. I guess we'll find out tonight.

I don't think it matters anyway. Sony fans aren't switching. Microsoft fans aren't switching. The people in the middle will go after the one with the games they want. I'd also bet Microsoft launches a $299 with contract "deal" to make people think it's cheaper.

Price $399.99
Release October 2013

[bdoughty]

When the first next gen NCAA game hits I will make my decision on which console to get. Very little to get excited about, outside of Dead Rising 3. I hate anything Sci-Fi and that shit was all over the place. Sci-Fi and Zombies. Someone give me a next gen Red Dead Redemption.

[GatorfanStovy]

$500 is not bad guys stop acting like it is high price tag. Gaming is a drug and you will buy xbox 1 or at least I will ha. Time to start saving now.


Example if you put away 50$ now until November you will your xbox 1! But again each their on choices for next generation console. Me its xbox 1! What big games were shown so far today guys ? I was out fishing during the event.

The Sony "dream" conference:

Why do you keep posting that? :D

While I guess it's within the realm of possibility that Sony does implement something like Microsoft's 24 hour check, they have absolutely zero control over that. They've already stated it's up to the publisher, which means it has nothing to do with Sony. It'll be on an individual basis and until publishers reveal their intentions as to whether or not they're going to incorporate something like that, we wont know.

...and really, unless Sony is going to REQUIRE the disc to be installed before being played, there's absolutely no need for a 24 hour check.

I think people are going to be REALLY disappointed when they figure out that while Sony probably isn't doing anything, the publishers will.

First, unlike you I think Sony has been vague enough about the plans that they MIGHT try to "change" their stance on the issue and really take advantage of MS. Other than that Kotaku article most of the journalists seem to think Sony hasn't said one way or the other. I followed it fairly closely and didn't see that. I did recall them saying a game like an MMO would obviously have to be online b/c its an online game.

Second Sony has 100% control over whether a publisher has DRM or not. They could simply forbid any publisher for doing it in order to publish on their platform. Take your ball and go home. Would EA (publishers) do it? They might think about it until they saw the demand I think it would create when PS4 crushes XB1 in sales due to the no DRM policy of Sony.

I've admitted your probably right and PS4 will have something similar to XB1 thus the "dream" conference. IMHO its the best for the consumer (me) and the best for Sony b/c no DRM would only help it sell more consoles to its consumers over its rival MS taking market share away from them.

They have said. I posted it at least 4 times:


UPDATE: More relief... At a roundtable this morning, Sony's game studios chief, Shuhei Yoshida, told reporters that any requirement for users to register a game online in order to play it would be left to game publishers. Sony won't require that.

Right there says all you need to know. Sony doesn't require a game to be registered, but publishers can choose to do so.

I wouldn't be "right." I don't think Sony is going to do anything. I think they're going to keep their system open and allow publishers to implement their own forms of DRM.

Honestly, I think you're putting too much of an emphasis on the DRM as a selling tool. Diablo 3 sold enough copies for the publisher to shower in $100 bills and they had the most notorious DRM of this generation. To you, me, and the 10,000 people on the internet who actually read this stuff, it's potentially a problem. To the average Joe, they truly don't care. Feel free to quote me on this: regardless of the price or the DRM, the PS4 and the Xbox One will sell virtually the same throughout the generation.


Well look at you going from PS4 only I might get XB1 later to XB1 day one.

I don't have a loyalty. I go where the games are. Microsoft has a fantastic exclusives library, so that's a day one for me. If Sony does the same, then they'll get the same treatment.

[I OU a Beatn]

[I OU a Beatn]

Eh, I forked over $600 for that damn PS3 when it launched, so I have no problem with it's price tag, even though I'm sure a lot of people will. $500 is my limit, though. I don't think there's anyway Sony goes over that, so if they have the games, I'm going to get both. If they show God of War/Uncharted/SOCOM, I'll probably instantly buckle.

[SmoothPancakes]

Damn. I didn't get to watch the presser, but from reading this thread, fuck, MS has me tempted. I have never bought a console day one, but I'm giving some consideration to it for Xbox One. I placed a pre-order just to have it in place, but I'll have to think about it and decide over the next couple months if I want to actually get it day one or wait until sometime in 2014 or 2015, most likely 2014 because of Halo 5.

I don't know if it was Halo 5 or not. I might have jumped the gun. It just said Halo, but it was for Xbox One, so I don't know what else it would be. 60 FPS and dedicated servers though? I don't care what it is, it'll be mine.

Free year of Xbox Live Gold with purchase of Xbox One Day One Edition:


Microsoft Studios unveiled plans to launch the Xbox One console this November at their Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) press conference earlier this evening, and since have gone on to flesh out the details of their rumoured ‘Day One Edition.’ Gamers who purchase a launch system will not only receive special packaging, but other exclusive features including a twelve month Xbox Live Gold membership.

JB but what about all them achievements you could be doing another year will hold you over ?

They're called PS trophies, and I have a lot more of those than I have XBL Acheivements.

[GatorfanStovy]

OH yea your a trophy guy JB my bad..

I just watched the new Solid Snake and I just jizzed all over my laptop. Damn that was awesome. I can't frigging wait for that!

[SmoothPancakes]

I don't know if it was Halo 5 or not. I might have jumped the gun. It just said Halo, but it was for Xbox One, so I don't know what else it would be. 60 FPS and dedicated servers though? I don't care what it is, it'll be mine.

Yeah, even if it's just another side game like Reach or ODST, as long as it's a full Halo game (not the Windows 8 crap) with 60 FPS and dedicated servers, I'm sold.

Is MGS XBox1 exclusive? I've heard conflicting reports...


Typed by thumbs.

[I OU a Beatn]

No, multiplatform.

What he said. MS apparently said exclusive but then it was confirmed otherwise later.

[CLW]

EA "pre-show" now live:

NBA 2K14 next-gen will be shown during Sony presser tonight.

[cdj]

Michael Pachter on GTTV, unsure what EA has left to show during their presser. Has he not seen that EA listed the games they are showing? :dunno:

I don't know why people listen to him. Like I said, I made the disclaimer that he's a douche when he predicted the launch price; which he was off on.

[Deuce]

No, multiplatform.

Sweet. That's one of the few games I play besides NCAA.

[JBHuskers]

Geoff said that Pachter is his personal financial advisor? Hope that was a joke :D

[JBHuskers]

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare? :D

A PvZ shooter that is like Team Fortress? That might be badass.

On top of that, PvZ 2 is to be announced too.

[cdj]

EA presser underway. Peter Moore now on the stage.

[cdj]

First up is a video for Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare a 3rd person action title. Coming furst for XB1, then 360.

On stage is John Vechey of PopCap Games.

[CLW]

Leading off with Plants v. Zombies....

[texacotea]

dude looks just like the zombie head he took off

[CLW]

P V. Z MS exclusive?

[JBHuskers]

Awesome. There is a survival mode too. This game looks fun as hell.

He said XBOX 1 first then 360. But didn't say exclusive I don't think.

Either way this game looks sweet.

[CLW]

Over/under on # of times EA says "Sony" or "PS4" = 1. I'm going UNDER. :nod:

[JBHuskers]

Yeah MS paid them off for sure.

[gschwendt]

Sanctum meets PvZ

[cdj]

Peggle 2 coming later this year.


Now, more TitanFall.

[JBHuskers]

YES!!!! Peggle 2!!!!!

[I OU a Beatn]

Yeah MS paid them off for sure.

Some insider on Neogaf already confirmed why. Microsoft guaranteed they would introduce DRM early in the process. Sony wouldn't commit right away. Microsoft gets the deal with EA.

[CLW]

Yeah MS paid them off for sure.

Yeah I don't get why 3rd party publishers essentially pick a side. It makes 0 sense of potentially alienating approx 1/2 of your potential customers.

Would crack up if Sony announced 2K was now exclusive to PS4. That would make 0 decent basketball and baseball games on MS' console.

[CLW]

Titanfall no mention of PS4. Maybe EA is exclusive to XB1.

[gschwendt]

Titanfall no mention of PS4. Maybe EA is exclusive to XB1.
That's already confirmed... only XB1 & Windows 8.

[texacotea]

as much as I dislike Mech type games this looks really appealing

[I OU a Beatn]

That's already confirmed... only XB1 & Windows 8.

And 360.

[CLW]

Sony responds by giving EA no DRM on PS4 (while allowing other publishers to do so). :nod:

[JBHuskers]

STAR WARS :o

[I OU a Beatn]

OH MY GOD.

[cdj]

Now a teaser video for Star Wars: Battlefront.


A mic is left on in the back or in production truck. Can hear muffled talking & throat clearing.

Video for Need for Speed Rivals.

[psuexv]

STAR WARS :o


OH MY GOD.

:nod:

[I OU a Beatn]

:D That would be funny, but alas, wont happen. It seems if there's one publisher no one is willing to screw with - it's EA.

[JBHuskers]

Someone should set up foreign accent bingo for E3....

[CLW]

StarWars FPS? Good lord are there going to be any games that aren't FPS next-gen?

[texacotea]

Now a teaser video for Star Wars: Battlefront.

Video for Need for Speed Rivals.

This is killing me, everytime it happens thats all I hear

[cdj]

Need for Speed Rivals to feature 'All Drive' which will blur the line between co-op, single player, and online.

[JBHuskers]

Was that dude playing on a PS4? :o

[CLW]

:D That would be funny, but alas, wont happen. It seems if there's one publisher no one is willing to screw with - it's EA.

Which doesn't make allot of sense b/c its not like they are "popular" being the "worst company in the history of the world" and all. :nod:

[JBHuskers]

It looks like they briefly flashed the PS4 hardware there. He's definitely playing on PS4 I can see the light bar. Looks just like a PS3. Very slim though.

I'm I missing something or is this not the EA Press Conference?

[JBHuskers]

I'm I missing something or is this not the EA Press Conference?

These are all EA titles :D

[CLW]

Ea concedes it sucks at sports titles and gives all rights to 2K and/or Sony San Diego to make real sports games. :nod:

[cdj]

EA SPORTS now on stage.
