Forums - Gaming - EA Play Press Conference Everything In the 2nd Post

The Star Wars segment of the conference was one of the most pointless things I have ever seen, like there was no point in even showing that whatsoever. It added nothing to the conference at all and in fact actually brought it down. Just come out and say that you don't have any footage of the games to show yet, instead of showing a fucking pointless video instead about "Oh we have games in development but no footage yet, so here's a video that you can watch of us MAKING them."

It was just so blatantly obvious that they knew they had to get Star Wars in somewhere even though they had no footage so they just threw that video together to have something.

Mass Effect is looking great. I was hoping to see more but I'm content with what we got. BF1 also looks phenomenal and Titanfall looks pretty cool too, I'm glad they got single player this time around.

Other than that, I didn't care for the rest of it. Also sports -_-

Well that was bloody awful, FIFA story mode trailer was actually interesting but the rest of the sports section was trash as usual, then they show half a battlefield trailer just to show it again 5 minutes later. They didnt show anything decent for Mass Effect, and they showed next to nothing for the billion star wars games they're making.

Also that Alex hunter guys speech on the stage holy crap was that bad.



Battlefield 1 owned all of them



I thought it was a good conference myself.

I don't know why I keep hoping for EA to surprise at every E3. With this conference they're probably going to be the most predictable (and boring) for me again this year. Where was the gameplay??

I guess I just really hope to see them give life to some of the numerous awesome IPs they own (and neglect) as for instance the rumor in OP about a new Command & Conquer. That would've been so sweet!

Besides, why didn't they show a bit of Mirror's Edge 2? The game just released and according to UK charts it could use the attention.

 

The 100% investor driven EA need to use more time on the interesting (non-yearly) games and imo they need to show more gameplay instead of only CGI trailers. Shooter fans must be happy though, with Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 looking to be this holiday's best first person shooters.

Mass Effect: Andromeda (it didn't show any RPG elements though) and Amy Hennig's Star Wars game (it's shown VERY early though and slated for 2018) have lots of potential but that was it for me.

A new Knights of the Old Republic from Bioware, a new C&C (eg. Star Wars spin off) and a new Skate/SSX would've boosted my score immensely. In general, more gameplay would've helped as well.

 

4/10 (5/10 if it had some of the Battlefield 1 gameplay from the post conference stream as it looks pretty fun)



The BF1 stream is also trash so far.... we get it, you paid dozens of big stars to promote your game!



That was a poor show.

However, 2017 looks like it's going to be special.



                            

I wish they showed more than a cinematic/behind the scenes trailer of Mass Effect (though I guess there's small segments of gameplay). The rest are kinda "meh" at best. I don't buy yearly sports games as I used to (and it was really only basketball) and Titanfall seems kinda interesting, at least it has a single-player mode, which the first should've had. Some of these cinematic trailers and such are kinda reminders for me on why E3 can be a drag at times because I want to see actual gameplay footage. Sure the tech is nice looking, but looks don't mean much unless you show what it could be like to actually play these games.



2/10

No gameplay of anything that mattered..... only videos :(
