[Clarkus Darkus]

Wow after the lackluster MS conference and now EA's entirely predictable one full of trailers, Im not sure i want to stay awake now for sonys at 2am!

But i will if only for BEAST anticipation

 

[PeskyToaster]

I'm excited for the games they had but they didn't show them off at all. Of course you can show off yearly franchises since they are coming in a couple months but c'mon guys, have something ready that's cooler than what we know is coming every year.

 

[Hypemaster]

EA never fails to amaze me in the wrongest way possible.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Only half watched while I was feeding my toddler, but yeah, I kept thinking "man, are they gonna show.... anything?"

 

[SilentFlyer]

I guess its either Ubi or Sony can win E3.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

So I've gone through the process of signing up for this beta three times and each time it gives me the screen to check my info, but for email and origin ID it just says "..." and won't let me change it. I've gotten to a SUCCESS screen that says it'll send whatever to my email that I entered, but it never prompted me to enter an email. Soooooooooooo another quality EA product?

 

[Crossing Eden]

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.

Ubisoft is gonna show off more AC Unity, Division, and probably some new next gen ips. I'm very excited for their conference. Except for the inevitable Just Dance

 

[Nokterian]

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

I like that oh how it would like that he will burn it down.

EA in a nutshell.[/QUOTE]

So this is what we look like when they announce FFXV, etc.

Ubisoft can do good conferences. Especially when there's a Far Cry around to hype.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Hey guys no one mentioned Titanfall ?

...Huh. That's kinda odd to not mention your new flagship IP. Totally went passed my mind.

 

[Sadist]

Pretty bad

 

[FlyStarJay]

MS seems to have pissed EA right off.

well sony had the exclusive for battlefield before, it slipped to ms and seems like its back now

 

[Skinny Pete]

I can't even get on pan. WTF

 

[kadotsu]

EA has over-committed to mobile it seems.

 

[BronsonLee]

I...wonder if you have anything of worth to post.

God damn there's a lot of whining in here. Have most of you never seen an EA E3 conference before? Good lord. So much thread shitting.

Sec guys we can't have super quick reactions to a press conference, shut it all down

Spoiler

This is code for chill the fuck out, dude

Conference was whatever. Hardline got a huge reveal but they got HOOOOSED by the dam breaking on it.

I think this is the year of TODAY TODAY TODAY

 

[dekline]

Anyone managing to download hardline?

No. I have a confirmation in my email but it's not showing up on origin.

 

[I love EA]

Wonder what the res of the Xbone will be. 900p? Maybe with the freed up GPU reserve 1080p.

 

[Exterminieren]

What a dreary conference. Nowhere near enough actual content to fill the hour.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Anyone been able to login to origin?

 

[blast processed]

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

 

[gigantor21]

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.

This, so much.

EA had jack shit to show this year. I walked away knowing almost nothing new about the newly announced games from last year--Mirror's Edge, Battlefront, Criterion's new game, or Mass Effect. Hell, even with the yearly games and stuff we'd already seen plenty of they didn't show much.

The MS conference was great even with all the leaks and things known in advance. This conference would've been lame even if nothing had leaked at all.

 

[Beach Head]

Yeah, that was a pretty bad conference. The only things that were shown and that have potential are most likley years away.

 

[Dragonfly224]

Only thing that I was interested in was The Sims 4.
Lookin' good, can't wait!

 

[Gangxxter]

In general, the EA press conference was a little bit weak. I expected to see more and better stuff from Sims 4.

But I'm genuinely blown away by the new Criterion game! It looks so amazing and it is so far my highlight of this E3. And that by far!

 

[HamiltonianConstraint]

EA servers are getting hammered, I got in the beta, but it won't download yet:

 

[bigkrev]

I prefer the prototype approach to CG trailers that don't represent what a game is (like Platinum game at Microsoft, Crackdown, ect), but this wasn't good.

 

[Crosseyes]

That was an entertaining bit.

Chuck's death, Golf shot over a crashing exploding military ship, All these feels, "beta is available... NOW" *smoke effects!*

It may have been horrible for actual games (that will be playable before 2016) but at least it was entertaining in a hilarious kind of way.

 

[Tookay]

i think e3 won't survive another 5 years. at least I hope so after shit shows like that

Yeah I think the writing is on the wall now.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

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.

I hope the silence surrounding Sony's presser doesn't mean they've got little to show. if that's the case, this could be looking like the most underwhelming E3 in a long time. Not exactly the best scenario given it's the first E3 that all current-gen consoles are available.
Starting to think maybe this gen started too early, nobody has software ready.

 

[zma1013]

Come on guys, cut them some slack, they are only the largest publisher of videogames in the world.

 

[dgrdsv]

Did not expect anything from EA/Bioware.
Was not disappointed.

 

[Linkinito]

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

No. I have a confirmation in my email but it's not showing up on origin.

The only way you're connecting to EA servers is if you have a direct hardline to the servers.

Spoiler

HAHAHAHA I'm broken

 

[Mathezar]

Very predictable, no real surprises. 6/10

 

[Basketball]

Terrible conference 4/10

Dragon Age was alright though

 

[REV 09]

dragon age and battlefield looked great...everything else is sooooo far away. : (

expected Battlefront and ME to be further along.

 

[Aquamarine]

Never mind.

 

[Superflat]

Kind of a stinker, started with a show-stopper. The ending with the poor gamers on the roof and the smoke finish was fucking hilarious though.

 

[MormaPope]

So this is what we look like when they announce FFXV, etc.

Ubisoft can do good conferences. Especially when there's a Far Cry around to hype.

Yeah, because The Sims 4 sure looked incredibly different than The Sims 3, and its not like Final Fantasy Versus reemerging would hype up people.

Yup, totally the same, you got Gaf there.

 

[Drayco21]

Really, really terrible D- 2/10 conference. Star Wars has potential, Mirror's Edge looks like a better version of that, but everything else may as well either not have been there (Dragon Age shows almost nothing, Mass Effect confirmed to exist and nothing else) or would have been better off not being there (SPORTSSPORTSSPORTSEMOTIONS, Sims)

And we're not even at the Ubisoft show yet. Ugh. Save us, Sony.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Wonder what the res of the Xbone will be. 900p? Maybe with the freed up GPU reserve 1080p.

No, resolution is tied to the eSRAM. More likely you will get more framerates out of it.

Wow, Super Hot is looking damn good.

 

[modeyv2]

I'm downloading the beta on my ps4 right now. took a couple of tries, cause it kept crashing.

 

[10k]

6/10 for me. That sims bit was awful.

 

[Happy-Bunny]

Beautiful, thank you

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

You're welcome (starts at ~0:50)

Edit: well the recording has not so good audio :/

 

[DavionStriker]

Managed to get in and sign up. No confirmation email yet. Anyone else get an email?

 

[213372bu]

That was an entertaining bit.

What's even more entertaining is knowing that you could have this sim you spend all your time and effort on and figuring out he could die in an instant from having too much fun.

It's ok guys, EA didn't want the conference too be too fun because they'd kill us am I right? #Feels

 

[Portugeezer]

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

Ok. IGN back in the good book after getting Sony to reconfirm the Last Guardian yesterday. That was their plan all along.

 

[geordiemp]

Out of MS and EA conference, the first time I felt excited was seeing Mass Effect for even a slight snippet...

New Battlefield hardline technically interesting - 1080p60 for frostbite - sony been optimising ?

Impressive anyway.

8/10 just for ME - I giggled lie a kid..

 

[OricWindstar]

Ubisoft is gonna show off more AC Unity, Division, and probably some new next gen ips. I'm very excited for their conference. Except for the inevitable Just Dance

Also not looking forward to Aisha Tyler hosting again. I don't mind her elsewhere, but she is SO annoying at E3. I literally mute the conference until game footage shows up.

 

[Baleoce]

Lacklustre, for me anyway. Too much CG and behind the scenes concept stuff. Not enough actual substance. And the stuff they did show, I didn't really care for.
