As a note, EA Game Changers was their E3 event last year, so this could potentially be quite big.

EA to livestream GDC event on March 6, features Maxis announcement

EA’s announced it’s to livestream its upcoming event at GDC in a few weeks, with the event focussing on changing the world.

The stream will air from 6pm (2am GMT) PST to 8pm PST (4am GMT) on March 6.

The event will feature a big announcement from Maxis, but the next Medal of Honor is also pretty much a lock for the event, going by invites sent out a few weeks ago.

Well they do have a lot of stuff they could show, outside of Medal of Honor and Maxis' game I could see them announcing Dragon Age 3 or Respawn's game.

Looking forward to it.

They also have to unveil stuff like Overstrike and finally show off Dead Space 3.

 

[mik83kuu]

Queue insane Origin numbers and success stories (with or without reality backing it up).

 

[blackMamba1187]

Mirror's Edge 2...please? Excited to see where they go with Dead Space as well as MoH, i guess.

 

[The M.O.B]

#gamechanger

Medal of Honor Vita
Madden Vita

Every EA game on Vita.

 

[Antioch]

They also have to unveil stuff like Overstrike and finally show off Dead Space 3.

Oh yeah forgot about those, looking at all these games they've yet to show it makes sense for them to hold a really big event now rather than waiting for E3.

 

[Kaako]

Mirror's Edge 2 purrty please. Thanks.

 

[USIGSJ]

New games from EA, Epic might be giving more detail on UE4, Crytek also said lots of cool stuff from them. It's going to be a fun GDC.

 

[Foil]

Very interested in seeing Dead Space 3 and whatever Respawn are developing.

I wonder if DICE is making a Battlefield 2143 expansion for BF3 similar to BC2's Vietnam?

 

[gdt]

Oh yes give me Dead Space 3.

 

[Antioch]

New games from EA, Epic might be giving more detail on UE4, Crytek also said lots of cool stuff from them. It's going to be a fun GDC.

It's a shame though Iwata isn't doing his usual keynote, otherwise it'd be even better.

 

[lordfroakie]

Sims 4, Dead Space, Mass Effect, Tiger Woods, madden, wiii u titles?

 

[Emitan]

Not really the place for it...

Hope Nintendo doesn't start shilling stuff if they're doing a presentation again. That was embarrassing.

 

[clashfan]

Hope to see Dragon Age 3!

 

[HigherLevel]

Hope to see Overstrike and Respawn's new game.

 

[Antioch]

Not really the place for it...

GDC is becoming more and more a secondary E3, at least in part, and I think if they actually do announce a variety of games at this press conference it'll go even further in that direction.

 

[Squire]

Maxis is doing a Populous reboot! Calling it now!

 

[The Last One]

A Dead Space 3, please.

 

[VOOK]

EA events... I've seen these before...

 

[lordfroakie]

Maxis is doing a Populous reboot! Calling it now!

Wasnt Populous recently trademarked by EA?

 

[AgentChris]

Mirror's Edge 2 and Dead Space 3 please.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Would be interesting if Iwata was a guest and one of the announcements was that EA are balls deep in Wii U online.

But new MoH and other potential surprises and talking points will be cool..

 

[Truth101]

[Nirolak]

Wasnt Populous recently trademarked by EA?

It showed up on their leaked EA Partners schedule for this fiscal year.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Mirror's Edge 2 please.

 

[Derrick01]

I'm predicting lots of "AAA" games that are just copycats of something else.

And sequels

 

[MasterShotgun]

They have a big event the same day Mass Effect 3 releases. I guess it will be a good enough excuse to take a break from it that night.

And obligatory "Mirror's Edge 2 please".

 

[shinobi602]

Dead Space 3
Dragon Age 3
New Medal of Honor

I will be interested if these are there.

 

[Kaako]

Dead Space 3 is already a given. What you should be hoping for is Mirror's Edge 2 with that sexy Frostbite 2+ engine.

If there are no Vita announcements I will cry.

 

[thekonamicode]

Will they start or end the conference with IOS announcements?

 

[Truth101]

Ah, Okay. I just couldn't figure out what you were talking about.

 

[catotheyounger]

Is MOH2 on Frostbite2?

 

[Nirolak]

Is MOH2 on Frostbite2?

All signs point to yes, including several executive statements, but I guess we technically don't have 100% confirmation.

 

[AzaK]

Would be interesting if Iwata was a guest and one of the announcements was that EA are balls deep in Wii U online.
.

It would, but I bet Nintendo won't let them....

 

[Garrus Vakarian]

New Sim City and Mirror's Edge 2 please

[Elginer]
