Live was down two or three times per day even after two weeks after Titanfall launch.

Or are you joking?

Live wasnt once down for me. Titanfall was, but I never once had issues signing into Live.

 

[ilikesanta]

Not a great one. +Criterion +SW + Mirror Edge ++Hardline

---Everything else

Those twitter comments... My goodness..

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Even for EA, I'm disappointed.

Hopefully Ubi and Sony deliver...well, at least Sony.

If the last couple years are any indication I've got more faith in Ubi deivering than Sony.

 

[NTIETS13A_Superiority]

WORST CONFERENCE EVER!
8/10

 

[JB1981]

If the conferences today from MS and EA are any indication of the health of gaming then this industry is in really dire straits.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

So many squeals...

 

[BBboy20]

Video Games: Imagine a terrifying alternate world in which the police force is militarized and brutally beats citizens without due process

Heh.

 

[Hatchtag]

Really underwhelming. Sony platforms are never a good fit for an exclusive demo, and I say that as someone who doesn't own a (working) Microsoft console right now. The download speeds are just too slow. Plus everything was so early in development. I mean, I can't even guess how many of the games will play, because they were basically just showing the engines off.

 

[Happy-Bunny]

Can anyone point me in the direction of an archived stream of the MS conference? Missed it as I was working, having problems finding one myself.

Probably the best way to describe PSN. Works fine 99% of the time but when anything interesting in any way occurs, it fucking dies immediately.

This really can't be said enough, regarding EA's conference:

 

[whitehawk]

Man, the BF:Hardline beta site is getting hammered.

 

[SmokeMaxX]

I gave Microsoft a 6-7/10 and I wasn't even interested in like any of their games. Gonna have to give this conference a 1-2/10. I wanted to watch all of every conference but I just couldn't keep my eyes on the EA conference. I was watching this thread far more than I was watching the conference itself.

 

[tehPete]

Look for ntkrnl's thread on gaf. Pretty much that, some third parties, and a bunch of CG. There, saved you 1.5hrs.

OK ty, but I'm the kind of masochistic bastard that likes to watch these in real time, rather than get the highlights I loves me some corporate awkwardness!

 

[Linkinito]

2 minutes of Star Wars pre-pre-pre-pre-Alpha.
5 minutes of Dragon Age 3.
3 minutes of ME4 and new IP pre-pre-pre-pre-Alpha.
8 minutes of Sims 2.6.
20 minutes of EA Sports.
3 minutes of Criterion new IP pre-pre-pre-pre-Alpha.
5 minutes of Mirror's Edge 2 pre-pre-pre-pre-Alpha.
10 minutes of BF Hardline.

Oh, and I managed to get my Hardline spot before the website was hammered.

 

[dragonbane]

Awful. Ubisoft is going to be boring too except for one game announcement that is going to be the best thing ever (aka Watch Dogs LOL). Save us Sony.

 

[daffy]

Anyone else wondering why they're on a helipad

 

[velociraptor]

So, to recap:

- Dragon Age Inquisition
- Mass Effect
- Mirror's Edge
- UFC/NFL/FIFA/Madden
- Battlefield Hardline
- Battlefront
- Sims
- Criterion's new IP

Those were the games right?

A little safe, a little boring IMO. Nothing out of the ordinary imo.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Haha Geoff Keighley's look post conference

Holy shit,anyone have a picture of his reaction?

 

[Dart]

Highlight of the conference was Chuck's death.

 

[deadhorse32]

So much "prototype/concept" ... Everything is 2015 (or 2016)

EA in a nutshell.

 

[Symax]

Well battlefield destroyed the PSN and origin servers. Great way to start a beta.

 

[ethomaz]

Live wasnt once down for me. Titanfall was, but I never once had issues signing into Live.

Even login on live was down more than one time lol

[Raxus]

I predict a flop. Let's see if EA has any surprises in store.

I fucking called it.

 

[NinjaFridge]

*Random screaming*

 

[solomon]

So far the only interesting thing so far has been CUPHEAD.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Downloading now on PS4! Gonna stream on Twitch later for you guys.

 

[kingdoug87]

Conference was fine, my expectations were low and just the footage of SW BF alone makes me happy.

Though the shrieks from crowd were most unwelcome.

 

[Konosuke]

Wait, what was the 3rd Bioware game?

 

[flatearthpandas]

I wonder why

Awkwardly, I realized after that I was mistaken and it's the Twitch people gushing over it. IGN was the Youtube stream that crashed.

 

[Forearm Star]

soooooo

is anyone actually able to download the beta? Or is this error all smoke and mirrors along with the "gamers better hurry, the beta is only available for a short period" ending.

 

[gaugebozo]

lol! My dog kept jumping up and barking whenever that crazy person in the audience screamed. There's fakey-ness in all these conferences, but tone it down, EA.

Beautiful, thank you

Edit: OH MY WORD MY EARS ARE BLEEDING - if everyone was subjected to that at the start, well.. lol

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

So, to recap:

- Dragon Age Inquisition
- Mass Effect
- Mirror's Edge
- UFC/NFL/FIFA/Madden
- Battlefield Hardline
- Battlefront
- Sims
- Criterion's new IP

Those were the games right?

A little safe, a little boring IMO. Nothing out of the ordinary imo.

If by games you mean early conceptual prototypes, then yea.

 

[BraXzy]

Ok so I was reaaaaally bored during that. Ehh :/

+ Battlefront WIP footage looked UNREAL, it could have been a shot from the new movie (based on my fuzzy stream)
+ Bioware
+ screaming woman

- Sports
- Sports
- More sports
- Conceptual everything
- ONE new IP, 2 seconds of early talk/footage
- Battlefield: Hardline looks like a BF4 game mode.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Hey guys no one mentioned Titanfall ?

 

[modeyv2]

Really bad conference. Them slide shows and concepts.

Lets hope the next two are good.

 

[bubu]

Im in! Just keep refreshing!

 

[The_Monk]

I need Conan O'Brian to review EA Conference using his very own review scale.

[Lynux]

Anyone managing to download hardline?

None of my games are showing up in Origin, same for my friend.

 

[BizzyBum]

Man, the BF:Hardline beta site is getting hammered.

I was at my PC the moment they announced it so I managed to complete the beta registration but the download on Origin keeps failing. lol

 

[Sianos]

I guess there's something refreshingly honest about showing early gameplay instead of bullshot CGI, but somehow equally unappealing.

Not enough video games for the video games, 4/10

 

[Tirod]

This was the conference I was looking forward to the most this year outside of Nintendo, with Mirror's Edge, Mass Effect, and Battlefront.

I wasn't expecting anything grand for Mass Effect or Battlefront, just some short CG trailers of both with teases but I did expect a little more from DICE on the Mirror's Edge side of things and that was all "early prototype" as well.

Between this, the Conker bait and switch from MS, and no show presence for the JP console side of Square (FF and KH) I've been super disappointed this year.

 

[unknownstranger]

What the hell at that press conference. So desperate for games they have to show prototypes? May as well show Battlefield 5.

2/10 since Dragon Age looked ok and I got to see the end of the NFC Championship game again.

 

[Grisby]

Highlight of the conference was Chuck's death.

That was an entertaining bit.
