EA on why FIFA 18 isn’t using Frostbite on Switch, will be better than last-gen version

“If you put the two together you won’t recognise them. When you dock it (and connect to the TV), it’s 1080p and 60 frames per second – Gen 3 (PS3 / Xbox 360) never run on this. We’re also using physics based rendering, another thing that Gen 3 did not have. We’re even putting ICONS in Ultimate Team – Gen 3 won’t have these either.”

I like how EA apparently thinks that gaming has begun with the Playstation and everything that came before doesn't exist.

Yeah I caught that "Gen 3" nonsense as well. It's kinda embarrassing that even industry reps use objectively incorrect terminology.

Having said that, it's good to hear that they're leveraging the Switch's power advantage over PS3/360 instead of just doing a lazy port.
