Get ready for the online only experience.

 

[Xando]

Mass Effect is all i need.

Please don't be always online.

 

[Toki767]

FIFA Mobile, Madden NFL Mobile and Minions Paradise count as "HD titles" then?

 

[iNvid02]

brace yourselves

[Stealth_Cobra]

People still use "HD" to describe games ?....

I mean, c'mon we've been gaming in HD for the last ten years... Shoudn't they find a new term that's more exciting than "HD"...

At least talk 1080p HD... Plain HD is so last-gen...

 

[TheXbox]

Sports, Battlefront, Mirrors Edge. That sounds pretty terrible tbh

Hopefully they have some surprises during the conference. Mass Effect probably.

 

[Liamc723]

How many standard definition ones?

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

First thing I thought when I read "HD Titles" was 12 announcements of remasters... Bit of a dated term to use.

I think to separate them from the mobile games that works

 

[Piers]

How many standard definition ones?

Most of them shortly after E3.

 

[Syf]

Very excited for the TOR expansion reveal, and to hear more about Battlefront. Other than that I don't really care.

Brace yourselves for the ~40 minutes dedicated to EA Sports titles.

 

[Mivey]

Well, consoles are actually catching up now, don't be so harsh. Most Gen 7 games were only upscaled to HD.

 

[Caronte]

But smartphones are HD too...

Edit: nvm, there are mobile games apparently. Still, that's a stupid way to say it.

I think they're trying to differentiate mobile games from retail games in a bad way.

 

[Ridley327]

One of them is going to be PvZ:GW2, right? That's one "surprise" we can check off of the list.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Sports, Battlefront, Mirrors Edge. That sounds pretty terrible tbh

BF and ME sound pretty cool to me, it's the insane amount of time dedicated to EA Sports that puts me to sleep.

 

[Nirolak]

Yeah, that's debuting at Microsoft's conference and will presumably be at EA's as well.

 

[danwu]

Fifa on mobile - that must be a first at an EA press conference !

 

[Caboose]

Mass Effect pls. PLS I need it.

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

BF and ME sound pretty cool to me, it's the insane amount of time dedicated to EA Sports that puts me to sleep.

This. Most of the time spent during the sports section is professional players or coaches talking about the sport in question, rather than actual gameplay, which makes it even worse.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Bad company 3 please EA

 

[danwu]

Sad there's NBA Live but no NBA Jam again this year.

 

[antitrop]

Well, consoles are actually catching up now, don't be so harsh. Most Gen 7 games were only upscaled to HD.

720p is still HD. Sub-720p games last gen were not standard, they were still the exception (like Call of Duty).

1080p is "Full HD", I guess.

 

[SargerusBR]

ME4 and Battlefront. IN MY VEINS

 

[Visualante2]

I'm ready for Criterion's game.

 

[Milly Osworth]

What am I supposed to do now with my tv from 1960? Damn HD!

 

[Stumpokapow]

FIFA 16
Madden NFL 16
Mirror’s Edge Catalyst
NBA LIVE 16
Need for Speed
NHL® 16
EA SPORTS Rory Mcllroy PGA TOUR®
Star Wars™ Battlefront™

There's 8 of 12. Add PvZ GW2, that's 9.

Criterion, Visceral Star Wars, Mass Effect 4, Titanfall 2 <-- this gets you to 13. If you add in Hardline DLC and/or Dragon Age Inquisition DLC, that's 15. If they count The Old Republic, 16.

... so if 12 is the number they're going with, I wouldn't expect much in the way of surprises.

 

[Tagg9]

So counting the ones in the list that are "HD" titles:

1. FIFA 16
2. Madden NFL 16
3. Mirror's Edge
4. NBA Live 16
5. Need for Speed
6. NHL 16
7. PGA Tour
8. Star Wars Battlefront

So that leaves 4 games out of the dozen. I'm guessing Mass Effect, Plant vs Zombies 2, Visceral Star Wars and Criterion's title.

/edit: Removed KOTOR

 

[BigDug13]

I think they're trying to differentiate mobile games from retail games in a bad way.

But my phone screen is 1080p. My mobile and console games are all in HD. They need to figure out another descriptor. Just call them retail games or something.

 

[Erevador]

At the E3 Expo (Booth #1601), EA will give show-goers hands-on with the titles below, as well as a few surprises:

Looking forward to Mass Effect... and maybe, a first tease of the Visceral Star Wars game?

 

[Aegus]

I'm surprised they're continuing TOR tbh.

Respawn said they won't be showing anything at E3, so you can scratch off Titanfall 2. Next year.

 

[Leflus]

Mass Effect and Starcharted, please.

 

[SolidSnakex]

shinobi mentioned in the E3 thread that they'll have three new game announcement, one of which will be a new IP.

I think if you take off TitanFall 2 and change Star Wars by Visceral to SWTOR you've got the correct list.

It's possible that instead of Criterion's game we will see that game they showed at VGX by the Brothers team.

 

[YianGaruga]

They probably say "HD" because it doesn't include their Vita and 3DS announcements

( &#865;° &#860;&#662; &#865;°)

 

[Brinbe]

Only interested in if they've made any substantial improvements to FIFA (I doubt it)

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Misleading. I thought it meant remasters.

 

[°°ToMmY°°]

I don't expect them to show visceral star wars, they'll want all the attention diverted to the one releasing this year.

I think it's time for mass effect and a surprise from one of their internal teams, plus two DL titles, one of them is the one from Brothers:a tale of two sons director.

This makes total sense to me, and I forgot about the Brothers team's game. Wow this is going to be an exciting and unpredictable conference. Can't wait for Magic Johnson to talk about "BounceTek 3.1 for Origin: An EA Company By Electronic Arts Sponsored by Dungeon Keeper Mobile: It's In the Game" for 18 minutes.

 

[Mononoke]

Was honeslty turned off by Mass Effect as a whole after ME3. Wasn't just the ending, it was the entire game, as well as how a lot of the game design for the series failed when all was said and done (the plot across all 3 games, how choices actually were integrated across games). The whole thing just turned me off from ever wanting to jump back into the ME universe.

That said, they won me over with Dragon Age Inquistion. And while I really had some serious issues with ME as a whole, I can't deny that I spent easily over 400 hours on that series (I had re-played 1 and 2 numerous times). I felt so much attachment to my Shepard. And there were a lot of things that I loved about it.

I feel enough time has gone by, that im willing to jump back in, should the game bring back more of the RPG/exploration aspects. But I'll always be weary of the writing, as well as getting too invested into the series and the choices I make (I now understand the limitations and will keep my expectations down).

So bring it on. I'm ready for ME4. Outside of battle front and Mirrors Edge, only thing I'm interested in from EA.

Edit: reading some of these lists, I actually am interested in tittles I didn't realize were coming. Plus I always have an open mind to all new IPs

 

[Lakitu]

Didn't Shinobi say it'll have 3 reveals including a brand new IP?

 

[valkillmore]

Can't wait!

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

I really am hoping for a Mass Effect trilogy, but somehow I doubt that'll be the case if we're only talking 12 titles.

 

[Lightning Count]

Mass Effect trilogy minus the online play being tied to Galactic Readiness rating please, oh Nd don't you fucking dare try to sell us the DLC separately all over again, EA.

I'm throwing you this one lifeline because it's BioWare, don't screw it up.

 

[Syf]

I'm surprised they're continuing TOR tbh.

Why? It's turned into a success for them, and SW popularity will be going up with the new movie coming out.

 

[Bedameister]

I really am hoping for a Mass Effect trilogy, but somehow I doubt that'll be the case if we're only talking 12 titles.

Yeah that's the remaster I want the most but I don't think it will happen.

 

[Newtype-001]

Mass Effect Trilogy please so i can finally play this sereis.

In other news those smaller remaster studios are probably getting alot of work this gen.
