God, what a boring conference. Only thing I’m interested in was Unravel two (Sea of Solitude has potential but didnt show enough gameplay). Dedicating stage time to a mobile dumb down version of C&C was pretty ridiculous.

I gave it a 2 because they gave some space to some inventive games, otherwise itd be a 1. The chery on the manure cake was the Star Wars whatever reveal with a dude talking about it and not even a logo shown.

Most of what those companies are making are 4x/TBS and very sparse RTS titles. The sparse part being Sega with Total War, where the only RTS part is the actual battle.

I'm talking TS as in full on C&C, Supreme Commander, AoE and Starcraft, not grid based, 4X, Company of heroes where you "card" units in like it's Yugioh. None of that fluff. Just you, base building and amassing a large army against your foes. That's all I want. The other variations of the strategy genre put me right off.

I grew up with base building and playing on a map, it's what I've wanted to this day. I don't want any cards, any "radio in the troops off the edge of the map", no taking turns or any grid lines.

It’s pretty embarrassing the only positives for me were Unravel 2 and Sea of Solitude.

Anthem looked especially downgraded and just like overly generic Destiny clone we all expected it to be.

I am not a fan of these live conferences in general. IMO, the only person in tech, off the top of my head, that could do a good live presentation was Steve Jobs, for everyone else I wish they would put more emphasis on the games as opposed to the people (the people are great, but most of them are not really good presenters so having devs and execs speak in videos and press releases outside of the main presentations, IMO, would be better).

With that said, I am super excited about Anthem (I loved Xenoblade Chronicles X and I like Bioware, and this seems like a combo of the two). Though a lot of people I have seen around the net seem to dislike it :(

Yeah but still. Their games are selling like crazy.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it went downhill after Madden.  They really desecrated another one of their franchises Dungeon Keeper Mobile style.

Giving this one a 2/10 because Unravel 2 looks decent.  That's it.  Overall it was as bad as Nintendo's 2015.

Not only was the content shown awful, but the presentation was absolute garbage.

It frustrates me to no end that EA really squanders the Star Wars license the way that they do
Clear missed opportunities on Switch. I don't expect Anthem or Battlefront, but stuff like Unraveled 2, Madden and the Sims clearly should be on the platform.
The more I think about it - would have rather had Bioware make a new KOTOR rather than Anthem.
Showcasing C&C on mobile is a real whiff. That was the part where I laughed and turned the stream off.
Battlefield looks good - but I also expect it to be Battlefield

Nothing that interests me, nothing I would ever buy. Those days of playing EA games (Deadspace, Mass Effect, Mirror's Edge) are really over. What the hell happened to them? I don't know, but I didn't even watch the show, just saw a summary on Kotaku and... meh, lame.
