Julius Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Just seen that EA have thrown down the gauntlet for shadow drops for E3 with Unravel Two. Hopefully that’s a sign of things to come with the other conferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Love the look of SOS. The game looks lovely and the premise is intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthenet Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 EA should just scrap everything but their indie Originals strand, the only good sections of their press conferences are when they let the indie developers have the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) This show is an utter disaster. The Respawn "announcement" was laughable. Please let Anthem be good, at least. Oh and the two Originals looked good. Edited June 9, 2018 by Ronnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtMediocre Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Yeah, SoS looks awesome! Here's hoping we'll get a Switch release. Now, to suffer some more cringe.... Really looking forward to more Anthem footage, and hopefully a launch date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killthenet Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Huber's bowed, shaking head when they announced it was Command And Conquer. Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Okay, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is nothing short of an atrocious title. Fallen Jedi Order is the best way to rearrange those words, and The Fallen Order would have been a much better title if they really wanted to reference the Jedi Purge in that way. Not surprising that they chose to show nothing - after all, we only got our first first real looks at Battlefront and Battlefront II in their respective years of release, and I suppose they don’t want to drown that or Anthem out, seeing as they’re both going to have futuristic sci-fi elements. We’ll probably get out first look during Star Wars Celebration next April, and a more detailed one next E3 (assuming that Anthem has successfully launched by that point). Smart release window to tie-in with the release of Episode IX, and it will probably tie into that with relation to the story, too. Hopefully this means no Battlefront III next year. That will need some real time to cook, and hopefully they’ll be able to spread the love evenly between the three different major eras in the franchise, which they’ve failed to do up to this point. On that note, though, it seems like they’re finally paying attention to what fans want with the prequel era content that they’re launching, but it’s a shame that it’s so late.

Hero-of-Time Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) No loot boxes in Anthem, either. Battlefront II really done a number on EA. Good. Edited June 9, 2018 by Hero-of-Time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 If this release date sticks, you gotta imagine Sony are going to move Days Gone. The game already has an uphill battle without launching alongside this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) I probably caught about fifteen or twenty minutes of that after skimming through for what I thought were the interesting parts (FIFA acquiring the rights to the UCL, Jedi Fallen Order, Unravel Two being shadow dropped, and some of the Anthem stuff...). Was the rest of it as boring as I found these 15/20 minutes? Don’t know I particularly want to sit through the entire thing when catching up if so..

Ganepark32 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 So that was a pretty poor conference overall from EA. Irritating host, unnecessary showing of a mobile game, that Respawn non-announcement, looping 5 seconds of gameplay for certain games over and over, and a general lack of game announcements and that's ignoring they Origin premium subscription nonsense. Unravel Two and Sea of Solitude looked good (and nice to have a shadow drop of the former) and Battlefield V will be good for its multiplayer but there was so little there. For one of the biggest third parties, it was poor as the mobile game and SoS were the only new announcements. Anthem failed to even capture my attention, it just looked bland. Thankfully, tomorrow onwards should provide the goods for the conferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 My heart skipped a beat when I just flicked through hear and saw "Command and Conquer". But, this really isn't what I wanted at all. Quite sad about that actually. Why can't we get a new C&C game? Tiberian Sun is still one of my all time favourite games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I haven't seen the EA conference, but I heard they dug up Kane's body, raped it, kicked it, and pissed all over it for good measure, before dumping him back in his grave to rot. That sounds like quite a show. Oh and they announced a bunch of other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Christ that was dreadful, made the case for Nintendo's pre recorded Directs even more valid! I found it really bizzare that they didn't announce platforms, specifically for Unravel Two. "The games finished and available now" brilliant, on what, though? Only looking on other sites was I able to see it was on everything other than Switch, which is annoying, however having watched the IGN stream with the developer and he said it was literally because the team was so small they couldn't but still hoped to, that's fair enough. Just an awful, awful show; the Madden nonsense was one of the worst things I've ever seen, young Kiv may be Madden champion but he has the personality of a chicken nugget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) The terrible Respawn bit, the pointless on stage Madden stuff, EA killing Command and Conquer a second time, Anthem having a really poorly presented "unveiling", EA continuing to be utterly tone deaf. Just awful. I actually thought their show last year was a decent enough presentation. This was all over the place. But at least we know that Madden champion (does anyone actually care) went to the finals instead of his graduation.
