EA's conferences feel like reruns. It's the same boring show every time with too much talk about this year's "revolutionary" sports games. They often have the potential and the content to make an interesting show, but never manage to nail it. EA is highly investor-driven and investors just don't get it.


Soon EA has had the Star Wars license for 6 years and all we've gotten are 2 flawed and very similar Battlefront games.
I hope to see something interesting.

Bioware: Knights of the Old Republic (wishful thinking)
Criterion: Podracer / Tie Fighter / Rogue Squadron (wishful thinking)
EA Vancouver: Jedi Knight / new SW IP (we know they're working on Visceral's Star Wars game)
Respawn: Jedi Knight / new SW IP (we know they're working on a third person Star Wars game)
Petroglyph: Empire at War (wishful thinking)

I kinda got my spiritual sequel to Jedi Knight with Respawn's "Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order". Or at least I hope so. They just vaguely talked about the game :-/

Battlefield and the indie games could be fun for a few hours.

 

The rest of the show was a borefest as usual with EA.

Command & Conquer (an IP that I love) is a shelf of its former self (the C&C mobile game looked boring).

Anthem looked beautiful but it probably won't be that much different from Destiny.
