So, EA. The publisher that everyone loves to hate. From DRM scandals to server instability. Even for all their faults, they still publish a ridiculous number of titles a year. Expect more Dragon Age footage, and of course the yearly delivery of sports franchises.

What are you expecting from EA?

I still haven't finished the first one, but I'm excited for new Mass Effect.

[chionos]

Mirror's Edge looks gorgeous, as expected. Movement looks even more fluid than before.

[chionos]

Oh gosh, it's been years since I've played a FIFA game...looks like it's time to fix that.

[Psychotic]

Wow that's the first time I've seen Liverpool in a FIFA preview... ever. You know we're back on the rise.

Either way who gives a smurf about players having emotion? What the smurf xD why do I care. What a troutty gimmick. Dirty kits? Animated boards? That's been happening for ten years you tits. My God you've taken a stupid angle.

[Aulayna]

So much EA Sports Developer "Quote-a-tron 2015 Sports Marketing"

[Noctis Caelum]

Mirror's Edge 2 looks incredible.
Now stop showing sports titles. Give us Star Wars Battlefront.

[chionos]

lol wtf was up with the screaming woman?

[Noctis Caelum]

lol wtf was up with the screaming woman?She must really love Battlefield!

[chionos]

gotta say, this battlefield shit looks badass. That's some pretty killer multiplayer.

[chionos]

*baseball hat to the head*

"That's what you get."

Maybe he's a fan of Battlefield: Hardline

[Aulayna]

No Battlefront? Lmao.

It was right at the start?

[Aulayna]

Also managed to get into the BF: Hardline beta. :smug:

[Bolivar]

[Dat Matt]

So We saw

Mirrors Edge
Dragon age
Mass effect 4
Battlefield Harline
Battlefront 3
NFL 15
Sims 4
That Criterion game deely

Did I miss anything?

[NeoCracker]

Battlefield 4 down on that list I don't care about, and I never got into mirrors edge, and I've yet to play Mass Effect.

And yeah, already had Dragon Age Pre-ordered.

So EA's reveals do nothing for me, but really? It's a pretty good line up, just one that doesn't appeal to me. :p

[Dat Matt]

Mirrors edge is the only thing here that grabs me, because Mirror's edge is actually really rad. It's a nice change of pace from the otherwise brown market that is the current generation.

[Skyblade]

No Battlefront? Lmao.

It was right at the start?

Wasn't that BattleFIELD. BattleFRONT was a Star Wars series, so it's now in EA's hands. But making a new one would be a good idea, so it's not going to happen.

[Shauna]

Uhhhh Battlefront was definitely announced.

[Aulayna]

Star Wars Battlefront is what EA opened their briefing with.

That's just an elaborate photoshop that you put together in the last 10 minutes.

I am from the internet, and have seen many 'shops in my time. I am an expert on these matters.

There's no way at all that Battlefront is coming. :colbert:

[Aulayna]

TLDR added to first post.

WHAT MEAN?! I SAW THEM TALKING ABOUT IT. AND I GOT DRAGON AGE STUFF. I'M SO EXCITED I MUST SHIFTLOCK THINGS.

Seriously though, from what I'm seeing so far, EA's conference has been the only one to really excite me. I got a lot of feels from that battlefront trailer. And teh DA3 and ME4 ness got me super excited. I love bioware a bit more than final fantasy lately soooo :excited:

[Wolf Kanno]

I'm stoked for Mass Effect so I'll keep an eye on it. Mirror's Edge piqued my interest but I really hope they stick to making it a platformer style game and not make there be mandatory combat sections like the first one.

[Del Murder]

Excited for ME4, though there doesn't seem to be much to show at this point.

Yeah but he said watch it to the end and the ME and DA stuff was pretty early. The end was just random EA sports guff. He made me think at the super final end there'd be MORE ME stuff :doublecolbert:

[Ayen]

Only game I'll be keeping tabs on from this list is Mass Effect 4. Trailer was underwhelming.
