Nice, but somewhat corporate-scary round table with EA in MCV this week.

Mostly standard stuff, but a couple of nice quotes. One above - also

(re: Next generation consoles) "Its like the Tour de France, and we do the hills better than anyone else"

 

[SantaC]

EA: The day PS3 and Xbox2 are released, Fifa and Need for Speed must be there at the same day!

 

[RuGalz]

They already throw about 200 people on the current gen... Don't they mean 400 people?

 

[mj1108]

So how does it breakdown?

198 PS3, 1 XB2, 1 Revolution?

 

[open_mouth_]

If the rumors are to be believed and Xenon releases earlier than the competition, then EA is most probably already preparing some next-gen launch titles as we speak (sports and non-sports alike).

Believe this news.

 

[jarrod]

Yep... I'm expecting to see at least Madden, FIFA, Tiger Woods and NFSU near Xenon launch. Probably more.

 

[Phoenix]

Believe this news.

Which part? I recall some nuts around here mentioning that Xenon would be launching this Christmas.

 

[PhatSaqs]

now the question is will EA port from the PS2 up to Xenon or from new engines deved on Xenon up to PS3

The latter most likely (PC/Xenon up to PS3/Revolution)... it's always easier to start at the lowest common denominator and work up.

 

[AirBrian]

Let's see...

SSX 4 (confirmed)
NFS:U 3 (very probable)
Sims 2 (very probable)
NFL Street 3
NBA Street 4

Then you have the yearly Maddan, NHL, MLB, FIFA, F1, NASCAR, NCAA football/basketball games. Anything else?

they also said that they made a mistake with the psone to ps2 transition, dropping psone too early. They will support ps2 a lot longer after ps3 launches. They see several more years active life in it.

PS2 is a given... but how long do you think they'll continue XBox/GC ports? 2006? 2007?

Don't believe this news.

who said it would be up to PS3 and Revolution?

Like most people have said, they kinda expect the difference between the systems to be marginal at best.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Madden + EA + Xenon launch = lots of $$$ and marketshare for MS.

 

[Odysseus]

So how does it breakdown?

198 PS3, 1 XB2, 1 Revolution?

No, you have it all wrong.

120 PS3. 79 XB2. 1 Revolution.

 

[Sp3eD]

Next Gen needs Burnout 4.

 

[jarrod]

who said it would be up to PS3 and Revolution?

Moore.

Who said it won't?

 

[Gchaime]

Madden + EA + Xenon launch = lots of $$$ and marketshare for MS.

Why? PS3 got exactly the same thing + the PS brandname + more powerfull console. I think gamers will wait.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

first official PS3 shot of madden in!

meh, looks ok. but check out the weak 2-D cardboard cut outs of photographers on the sideline! plus the grass doesn't look natural. thumbs down EA!
