Forums - Gaming - EA wants 'open gaming platform'

This thing doesn't entirely suggest no MS, Sony and Nintendo, but rather a "channel" for each console, with the content being "streamed" to the TV.

IE the processing takes place on remote machines.

The Internet's speed will have to increase HUGELY for this to be possible.

Perhaps EA should make there own system

 Ea, Sega Sammy, Capcom, and S-E could team up and make a pwange console :D

Outside of the US, Microsoft has yet to strike deals with firms for meaningful video content while Sony has turned to companies like Sky after being unable to agree licensing terms with its own in-house content providers, such as Sony Pictures and MGM.



 Does anyone else find this hysterical.  Sony pictures won't agree to provide content on the Playstation??

 WTF?




Nintendo is in the best position right now to push this to the "non-gamer", right? They would just need to put different channels on their console like internet, news, shopping, media and different game channels. Maybe throw in a health channel with exercise programming. It sounds crazy but it could work.


EA-Pure evil corporation
CEO-Mr.Satan
HQ-Hell


OnTopic:
If EA really want this why not either A)develop for 1 console only.....oh wait they cant do that then they lose the deals with NHL,NBA,FIFA etc etc. B)make loads of devs reduntant thus increasing profits......oh wait they cant do that either then they cant rush there games and make them full of bugs.
C)Make there own console with all there IP's exclusive......oh wait they cant do that either because noone would buy it.

They got themselves in a real pickle here.

but EA doesn't want PCs , because PCs have millions ah no billions of different configurations and you have to ensure a game runs on most of them , that's why it's too costly to produce games for PC

 And thats why Battelfield is there best selling franchise they have followed by C&C.

Well if EA has a problem with being multi plat then they should just start going exclusive to one platform. If they went exclusive to M/S/N they could end this console war and all of their games should start performing a lot better. It is kind of rediculous to complain about multi plat when you are one of the people feeding its fire. As a company they need to look at what is best for them and if that is going exclusive good for them. Maybe we would all get lucky and they would only support PS3. Then Take two would follow, and we would have Madden, and GTA exclusive to one console. If that would not end the war, what would?



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

EA is so evil. It's sad that they own Maxis (Maxis makes a ton of my favorite games)



Top 3 favorite games: Super Mario Galaxy, The Sims 2 (PC), The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

I wouln't mind EA making their own console.  In fact, I would be perfectly happy to not buy it.
