20:50 - just over 10 minutes to go
21:01 - this one is on time! Unlike Microsoft... either that or they're hiding it behind this funky techno music we've got going on that a montage of game names...
21:02 - Everything we're going to be shown is for PS4 and XBONE. The yearly sports titles... Need for Speed and Dragon Age!
21:03 - A rather comedy gold Plants vs Zombies style Battlefield trailer as Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare gets official revealed.
21:04 - Garden Warfare is a third-person action title! Coming first to XBONE and then the 360.
21:06 - A look at the multiplayer co-operative survival mode combining all your favourite plants from PvZ in a 3rd person shooter style game where ... as the name suggests... you hold off against waves and waves of enemies!
21:08 - Disco Zombie is back complete with a Night Fever intro... awesome! I want this game already xD
21:09 - Peggle 2 announced! We love you Popcap \o/ - they're certainly happy about it:
21:11 - Now for more juicy TitanFall stuff. Coming to XBONE, 360 and PC next year.
21:14 - They're trying to add the story and drama of a single player game but as a multiplayer experience!
21:15 - A sales pitch about EA's Next Gen engines - EA Sports Ignite and Frostbite 3 - all the new games are being built on them.
21:16 - NEW BATTLEFRONT REVEALED being made by DICE.
21:18 - New Need for Speed. Need for Speed Rivals! Not unexpected.
21:19 - New feature in Online Play called "All Drive" merging the boundaries between all game Modes. What starts off in single player suddenly turns into multiplayer. Devices like tablets can even be used by a third person to summon in things like Helicopter support.
21:22 - Some talk about the Need for Speed movie. Expectation - probably another Fast & Furious.
21:23 - It's DA 3 time!
21:24 - Dragon Age Inquisition. Coming Fall 2014. Time for a trailer titled "The Fires Above"
21:25 - Will you stand against the darkness... or lead the world to it's bitter end. I for one, am excited.
21:26 - SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS and MORE SPORTS. It's time for E - A - SPORTS - IT'S IN THE GAME!
21:27 - Ridiculously photogenic Andrew Wilson of EA Sports is on stage stunning with his tight clothes and flawless teeth. Pretty much rehashing what he said at XBONE reveal event.
21:28 - Here comes the line-up. Starting off with a stereotypical embarassment of E3 - rapping on stage - for NBA LIVE '14
21:29 - BRAND NEW DRIBBLE TECHNOLOGY Ladies and Gentlemen. The future is here! BounceTek. The ball has physics now. Lock up your daughters...
21:32 - Madden NFL 25 - again going on about how the new consoles allow for MOAR DATA and MOAR INTELLIGENCE and more silly sounding engines like LOCOMOTION CONTROL and PLAYERSENSE. Stuff about the line, you can step up and deliver the ball. Yes really, they said that.
21:36 - From American Football to proper Football. It's FIFA time. A far more laid back trailer with heartfelt interviews of footballers. No bigging up technology this time.
21:37 - I take that back. Drake is on stage to spew a load of PR cheese about how much he loves FIFA. /YAWN #GETONWITHIT
21:38 - Here comes the technology spiel - PRO INSTINCTS. BIG DATA, 4X MORE CALCULATIONS PER SECOND - YEAAAAAH NUMBERS - TO GIVE PRECISION MOVEMENT AND ELITE TECHNIQUE. smurf yeah! I feel like I've learned nothing but I want it already.
21:41 - Continuing with the over the top stage drama we get an over the top intro for UFC. The crowd don't seem impressed!
21:44 - How much mascara is Andrew Wilson wearing?
21:46 - Awkward doesn't even begin to described this UFC bit. "He wanted to take me down so I took him down first" - no trout, isn't that the point?
21:47 - SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORTS... oh wait
21:47 - BATTLEFIELD FOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR!
21:46 - New Frostbite tech called Levolution (seriously who comes up with these names?) - not sure what it does other than make everything BIGGER and BETTER.
21:47 - Commander Mode for the tablet. A connected experience that's going to run adjacent to the existing Battlelog platform. It's basically a battle map, so someone can take the role of Commander and.... Command!
21:49 - Time for a 64 person live match on the Siege of Shanghai map - classy!
21:50 - Battlefield always looks so pretty.... oh look, US flag in China... 'MUUUUUURICA
21:54 - Our 2nd tablet airstrike of the day!
21:55 - Holy trout you can take out entire buildings. Well.. dayumn!
21:56 - Finally! Mirror's Edge 2! Okay DICE, I love you again.
21:58 - And that's a wrap for EAs conference.
