EA committing 80 mil to next gen means they are not really committed to next gen.

unlikely to happen

Really want to see the Mass Effect series continue, but Dead Space was damn good to. The second one didn't make me jump much compared to the first, but the story was there and I actually didn't mind the hero going from a mute to talking alot.

I'm hoping to see a surprise Dead Space at E3 this year to.

Good!

Hmm

Well next-gen is coming strong and is right around the corner from the looks of things, which makes it really strange MS and Sony are still so firmly denying they'll unveil new consoles at E3.

That being said in the grand scheme of things 80 million isn't that much money for EA to invest, which probably simply means they have 1-2 big games in development to be ready somehwere around the launch of next generation but what those titles are is anyones guess.

Battlefield. Of all EA studios, DICE knows how to turn up the heat.

Really hope great things come out of this. A big Bioware title would be nice.

Seems a bit low considering that Ubisoft is putting aside $500 million for one studio...

It's Boom Blox, not Bloom Box.

I picked Dead Space because I love the hell out of that franchise, but by the time it appears on the next generation of consoles it'll likely be a bastardized franchise like Mass Effect became after Mass effect 1.
