I really don't give sh*t anymore



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

That was about FB2, not FB3.  Read the actual Twitter statements in that article.

 

FB2 was very CPU clock rate dependant.   It was designed around a clock rate of 3.2 Ghz as the PS3 and X360 are.  FB3 wasn't designed for such high clock rates so it will run a lot better than FB2 did.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

What's this? I smell the tell-tale scent of news-that-is-not news!

Sure, it's spelled out in more plain english than it had been previously, but this is the same position they've always had.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

they focusing where the gamers are? those two consoles have no units sold yet in people's hands lol.

you don't get it



Well fb3 can run on ps3/360 so it can for the u too. Huge shocker there. I don't think they ever said it couldn't either though. It was somewhere along the lines of frostbite not working too well so instead of spending more time, they just quit. Their stance is still the same as beofre on the wii u anyways.

Then maybe you could explain your point instead of just posting a link ?



Tbh I think we all get the basic gist of EA's statement on FB2 and what they were trying to imply, a combination of the DRM reversal and Disney has more then likely put EA on the spot in a situation where they probably had a lot of eggs in one basket.



I for one welcome EA's new mouse-eared overlords.
