One word: SPLOSH! Oh my god, EA pulling themselves up. I'm really impressed.
They kicked of the con with Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare, a third person shooter. It looks so amazing, I can't wait. The only issue is it sounds like it's only coming to the XBox One and 360 after. I hope they put it cross console and not just One and 360. Popcap also teased Peggle 2. Way to kick it off EA! Start things off right.
Next was more on Titanfall. Other than learning it was multiplayer or has multipalyer I'm still not all that impressed and I could do without.
Then they talked a bit about their software engines, EA Sports Ignite and Frostbite 3. With Frostbite they teased Star Wars Battlefront and Need for Speed Rivals.
I'm really impressed with Need for Speed Rivals. It looks good and the multiplayer jump-in runs seamlessly. They showed how you could start a race as a racer and then have an online jump-in with the cops and there was no start over, no "new player has entered" it just ran smoothly. Not much of a racer gamer, but I'm looking forward to this one. Also Need for Speed movie... that is all.
Next was a trailer for Dragon Age Inquisition... still a Skyrim girl, just saying.
Then EA Sports came out. We have NBA Live 14 (yes NBA Live is coming back), NFL Madden 25, FIFA 14 and UFC. The only one I care about even a little is the UFC game and even then I could live without.
More talk of smarter AI... Having trouble with this one. Don't know how I feel. If the AI gets smarter can we not call it AI anymore?
Next: Multiplayer Battlefield 4! Yeah, the whole 64 player multiplayer thing there doing... I still don't care.
And then the big news. Hold on to your seats people... Mirrors Edge 2.
That was it, EA looking good for the most part. Glad to see them picking themselves up a little. Next up we have Ubisoft and then at nine... SONY! Thinking I'm going to have to stream those online, but as long as the weather here in my part of North Carolina doesn't knock the power out I'll be back to let you know what's up from E3.
