Support NeoGAF

[hwy_61]

What a dumb move. Why would you, historically known as a 3rd party company partner up with one platform?! I think they're shooting themselves in the foot here.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

I really doubt there are any obligations like that. EA clearly doesn't support Nintendo or the portable systems with their sports titles and I'd definitely consider those major platforms.

FIFA 13 is on PS3, 360, Wii, Wii U, Vita, PSP, 3DS, PC and PS2(!).

In what way are EA not supporting all platforms with FIFA?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

That article doesnt make sense. They're going to announce a partnership yet all reasonable things partnership wise is not it? What is it then?

Wait did anyone read the article. Literally nothing in it suggests there is a partnership with EA. None of the supposed sources work at EA or MS and even they had nothing but speculation. The article is so bad that when they say that the quotes hint at a partnership, not one actually does.

The Sony conference was too early timing wise. Even the tweet from EA is saying the same thing.

Weird that even GAF isn't calling the article out.

I already called it out second page.

All we need is Blizzard to bring Titan or WOW exculsive to PS4 and watch the internet burn.

 

[Ding-Ding]

Sony hasn't been very big in EA's court since they never fully dropped making sports games. The only reason MS and EA are cosy is when MS agreed to not compete with EA sports on the original xbox.

Sorry but are you suggesting that EA regard Everybody's Golf as a serious challenger to the Tiger Woods franchise

Mass Effect kind of agreement?.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Somehow I doubt that EA would have spend what seems likely to be millions of dollars on a system that allows cross platform play, only to make a game exclusive and make that system useless.

It will be exclusive content for a game. No EA game will be exclusive to either platform.

 

[gkryhewy]

EA's CFO just spoke a week ago about some of the benefits of used games (engines of liquidity for new game purchases). Why are you all so convinced they want to block them (vs. just using an online pass)?

Some people are just apocalypse fetishists (and/or just wishing to see MS faceplant).

Many you listed were FIFA 12 with a new skin.

 

[Four_Chamber]

The paranoia in this thread is hilarious. If Microsoft even gets any type of timed exclusivity, this would be a true megaton.

3rd party exculsive games are thing of the past.

Does it matter?

OK, but now that PS4 will have an x86 CPU, doesn't it make less sense to do that again?

 

[Kallor]

At best I imagine Battlefield 4 Exclusive DLC and A timed Exclusive Dragon Age 3.

Here's your first look at Respawn's game:

Dedicated fans on the Respawn forums have been trying to un-blur the teaser image! Looks interesting to me!!!

Sci-fi / Fantasy shooter?

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

Time for some sci-fi Call of Duty?

Stalker?

yes but not timed

 

[Prophet Steve]

Because they are likely to get money out of it from Microsoft. It is not like they will have all their output exclusive for the next Xbox (I sure hope not). Temporary stuff seems the most likely for me. Or a new line of smaller games or something.

Looks like some war of the worlds type art.

 

[Xbudz]

Stalker?

Kinda looks more fantasy to me on second thought.
Steampunk COD? hehe

 

[RoboPlato]

Hopefully it's just a DLC time thing. I want to play BF4 and ME4 on PS4.

 

[offshore]

Obviously just gonna be DLC, but if MS have secured promo and marketing rights to EA property on things like FIFA, that'll be a blow to Sony, especially in Europe. FIFA ads always come PlayStation-branded.

 

[DEADEVIL]

I already called it out second page.

Cool. Good to hear. I only skimmed the first page of responses when I wrote that.

I just woke up and was reading from my phone and was blown away that GAF didn't call BS initially.

GAF normally is quick to eat that stuff alive.

 

[raphier]

Respawn and Bungie doing their own visions of same ideas I think.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Timed exclusive DLC on Respawn's game. BF4 will probably have timed exclusive DLC on PS3/4 like BF3 on PS3 to combat CoD's Xbox deal.

 

[sono]

Thank you OP. I read this statement in the OP with interest.

""At the end of the day we are very excited about Sony's platform. We feel there's a huge opportunity there. The technical power on the platform is going to allow us to do a substantial amount of things that have never been done before.

"I have seen the new Battlefield, and it is just stunning. It is just amazing what the imagination of the game developers [at DICE] are allowed to do with that much power.""

 

[TCRS]

If it's Battlefield 4 I'll have no choice but to buy the new Xbox, which I'm not really inclined to do.. :/

Fuck MS and EA.

 

[Kysel]

With all of the micro-transaction news, it wouldnt surprise me if it was "cheaper" MT's, or more MT content... something worthless

 

[DEADEVIL]

Sure if you want the bad ports then go ahead.

Like Skyrim?

 

[The Lamp]

Shots fired!
Let's see what Microsoft has to announce

How is that worthless?

 

[m23]

This most definitely does not point towards exclusive games, don't understand why people think BF4 would be exclusive.

 

[bud23]

If Microsoft even gets any type of timed exclusivity, this would be a true megaton.

Yes, considering the huge popularity of FIFA series in Europe, or BF around the world it would be a true game changer.

But it will not happen imo. Nowadays, the idea of any type of potential exclusivity from a company like EA is delusional, a minor partnership though, would be logic, that´s all.

 

[Bringer Of Bacon]

Who cares about this? They haven't even ANNOUNCED any announcement event. M$, you are WAY behind Sony... If you want ANY chance of staying alive this generation, you need to announce xbox3 very soon. Every day that goes by, Sony gets more and more powerful! BTW I posted this while pooping

 

[Doffen]

Someone needs to notify Japan.

 

[Pociask]

I wonder (if there is a deal) if it something more prosaic - like all EA content will launch first on Microsoft platforms (not even necessarily exclusively).

Also, we've heard such talk before, all to come to nothing - see the unprecedented partnership with Nintendo. Could have been a deal that fell apart, could have just been marketing hot air.

Way behind Sony in what? Sorry, I can't tell if you're riffing off that other Xbox article, but this seems so hyperbolic it borders on fanboyism.

I hope this gives an incentive to sony to develope its own football franchise.

Why would they? They have FIFA and PES on their systems every year.

If they want to lose Europe then sure.

It's early in the US. wait for people to get up and cvg, which publishes a rumor every twenty minutes, will get torn a new one.

CVG's last top secret EA rumors from E3 2012:

AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE A NINTENDO THIRD PARTY

Did you know Satoru Iwata's E3 press conferences are rehearsed against old tapes of David Copperfield magic shows? Oh well look again. One minute he's on stage reminiscing about HAL Laboratories and with a sudden puff of smoke he's holding a future console in his hands. One moment he's talking about market demographics and pie charts, the next he's materialising John Riccitiello and his silver hair down from a magnificent thread of light.

Never underestimate Iwata's capacity for legerdemain. This year he has something big under his sleeve in the form of major third-party publisher support. Ubisoft and EA will be biggest cheerleaders, we hear, and if Activision isn't doing a Skyanders Wii U game we can only presume it has become bored of money. Valve, though, is the big question. One CVG writer is convinced the PC kingpin has struck a deal, due in part to Nintendo's new digital distribution manifesto. Others say that's a trick too far.

BURNOUT IN HOT PURSUIT

It's been too long since EA graced a stage with a new game from its UK racing studio, Criterion, but we hear that the Guildford maestros are set to make a long overdue return in LA.

What's the game? That's a bit of a thorny issue. We had heard for months that it was going to be a new Burnout title, but then suddenly retailer GAME slipped word that a new Need For Speed Hot Pursuit title would be released by the end of the year.

[Nirolak's Note: it was Most Wanted since this was E3 2012.]

If they do anything with FIFA they would be better off going out the back of their offices with truckloads of money and burning it, it would cost them less,

It will be timed exclusive for bf or something like that.

The motherboard of the PS4 must be HUGE.

 

[Lynn616]

No exclusives on established IPs. Maybe exclusives on some new IPs.

 

[CREMSteve]

I really do dislike this anti-consumer trend of third party exclusivity.

Oh how I long for a one-console future where we could all just get along.
