FPS? Only EA could fuck something up so bad.

 

[hirokazu]

Wait, how does this work? Aren't most if not all of the plants stationary? Are they gonna attach wheels to their pots or something?

Assume this is one of the surprises hinted by DICE a few days ago

[CaptainTiptop]

....An FPS?

Really?

 

[Bumhead]

If this is a totally self aware and very light hearted shooter in the vein of something like TimeSplitters or Team Fortress 2 then it could be fantastic.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Hell yeah, because when I think about Plants vs. Zombies I think how well it would work as a class-based competitive online shooter!

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

This actually sounds amazing if done right.

 

[Willkiller]

Fantastic art

TF2 has been mentioned a few times and it makes sense - a F2P fun, accessible game that can rake in some micro transactions.

This isn't replacing anything.

The traditional Plants vs Zombies is getting a proper sequel that looks and plays like the original. People who want that aren't losing anything by the existence of this.

This sounds like a totally different side project to the main game that potentially appeals to a different bunch of people and expands the brand (marketing speak ftw). I actually think that for all the shit shooters get, there's probably a gap in the market for more off the wall, light hearted multiplayer FPS games, so I welcome this. If done right it could be fantastic.

 

[Nokterian]

Yeah that's how i feel about it when reading it.

 

[Delusibeta]

wot?

EA ruins another company.

 

[mujun]

If this is like, say Monday Night Combat then it could be pretty cool.

 

[Nibel]

I will not believe this is a FPS

WHAT

 

[dark_inferno]

I will wait until i judge it. It just screams for fail but we dont know yet.

 

[VGChampion]

This... this I will play. The art style on those E3 banners looks a million times better than PvZ2 at the moment.

 

[ubersticky]

TPS would be cooler no?

 

[Crimson_Gold]

TPS would be cooler no?

I agree

This. Happy to see a goofy, cartoony shooter out there in the midst of so much grim n' gritty.

 

[Night_Trekker]

Welp, all I can really say for sure is I love how absurd the concept is.

I have serious doubts such a game would be successful, but I'd sincerely like to see them try.

 

[The Cowboy]

Hmm - TF2-esque?.

Very intrigued indeed.

 

[GotchaForce]

Hey remember Battlefield Heroes? I think this will be a lot like that: 3rd person, free to play, easy to get into, micro-transactions, and a charming presentation. I'm looking forward to it, especially if they do tie-in stuff like Grass Effect and whatnot.

 

[Virgman]

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Not exactly a refreshing idea but could still be fun regardless. I need PvZ2 first however.

 

[VanWinkle]

If this is a totally self aware and very light hearted shooter in the vein of something like TimeSplitters or Team Fortress 2 then it could be fantastic.

Exactly. Depends on the tone they go for. I'd personally rather have a Timesplitters-esque game than a TF2 one, but either would be cool to see.

 

[JDSN]

Oh EA darling, you cant do TF2 because you are a money grabbing fuck company with no idea of the meaning of long-term investment, remember the last time you tried to do a TF2 ripoff?

 

[McBradders]

My mother is going to be thrilled. For reals.

Completely agree, if they're both F2P they can hook in "interesting" ways through Origin or whatever.

 

[rouken]

i'm guessing this will also be f2p, with hats.

 

[UnlovedJew]

Regardless of how savory this move is, I'm curious as to how the hell they could make this work. WHAT ABOUT THE SUNFLOWERS?!

The full sequel PvZ 2 is still coming. Why whine about a spin-off...

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE

 

[Gorillaz]

this is unexpected.

I don't know quite what to say.

Yea ..idk what to say either

 

[Somnid]

This concept would be hard but intriguing to pull off as a normal game. With the F2P business model and by association multiplayer dictating it I have pretty much no confidence in it being anything other than mediocre.

 

[BigBadGiantHand]

Please EA, if you only bring one of your games to Wii U, make it this one. The concept just seems to amazing to actually exist.

 

[Nirolak]

But that was profitable.
