It started so well with Titanfall 2. And then it fell apart because it seemed like they didn't have enough games to fill the time.

I guess it would be too much to have Giant Bomb commentate over Gamespot's coverage of the conferences.

 

[JGLS]

Kind of a meh conference. Nothing really grabbed me. Seeing Mourinho on stage was cool doe.

 

[Myggen]

How was EA? Unable to watch right now.

The conference was terrible.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Titanfall 2 looked pretty darn good.

 

[Skatterd]

How was EA? Unable to watch right now.

Unwatchable.

 

[Strax]

They had great looking an fun games but still it was boring.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Really Brad?

 

[kingkitty]

boooooo to this whole conference

 

[therealminime]

Titanfall and BF1 look awesome but man what a bummer of a show. Star Wars teases for 2018 is fine, but man the lack of Mass Effect was just...

 

[Fantastapotamus]

That was really terrible. They didn't show anything.

What are you talking about? They showed that Battlefield trailer twice

 

[ScaryShark]

It's weird that games based on Star Wars look like Star Wars.

 

[daveo42]

Dan, no they aren't doing it right. These games should be coming out over the next 1-2 years, not the next 3-5.

 

[Officerrob]

EA didn't need to have a conference for that

 

[Easy_D]

What are you talking about? They showed that Battlefield trailer twice

No two battles are the same, except when they are.

 

[RealityCheque]

Titanfall was great. Battlefield was good and I'll be interested in seeing the multiplayer stream.

Everything inbetween was championship-level shit.

 

[Myggen]

Really Brad?

Hm?

 

[megalowho]

Makes more sense why they're not on the show floor this year. EA seems to be in a pretty conservative mode right now. Next year should be more interesting?

 

[TharpDaddy]

I was hoping to see Criterion's game, but I think it might be dead since its been 2 years

 

[Salarians]

90% sports
3% Battlefield
3% Titanfall
2% Star Wars
2% Mass Effect
also Fe

 

[| Praxis |]

Titanfall and BF1 looked great. Not interested in anything else they showed.

Oh, and Fe looked alright.

 

[KnightHart]

Man that really sucked but at least I'm gonna get Titanfall 2 and Battlefield One MP impressions a bit earlier this year. Both games look fantastic so far.

 

[petethepanda]

That was pretty bad.

Next year's should be fucking insane, though.

 

[f0rk]

Dan, no they aren't doing it right. These games should be coming out over the next 1-2 years, not the next 3-5.

Everyone lost their shit when Sony did the same thing last year

 

[TheXbox]

That was terrible. No demos, no Mass Effect, no Star Wars, no announcements. Just show an hour of BF1 if that's all you have.

 

[oti]

But Brehs, arent you excited for Madden esports?

Huh?

Huuuuuuuuh?

 

[Glass Shark]

I'm glad I didn't skip anything important to watch this.

The best you can say is that it seemed to go exactly as they planned with no technical issues.

 

[Dragon Puncher]

Titantall and Battlefield 1 looked fucking great, so not the worst conference every, but pretty damn bad. There was no real good surprises and without that there really isn't any reason to have a conference.

 

[kAmui-]

That was pretty bad.

Next year's should be fucking insane, though.

#skate4 #believe

 

[ScaryShark]

That was terrible. No demos, no Mass Effect, no Star Wars, no announcements. Just show an hour of BF1 if that's all you have.

They showed Mass Effect. The conference was shit, but they did show Mass Effect.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Ehhh, I wouldn't go that far. They at least had a couple good looking games this year.

You might be right. I guess there was almost literally nothing at that one.

 

[broncobuster]

At least Bethesda has known quantities worth seeing.

 

[| Praxis |]

Anyone have the link for the Battlefield stream?

 

[BlackGhost]

So they're still streaming during the Battlefield gameplay?

 

[daveo42]

Everyone lost their shit when Sony did the same thing last year

It's a terrible plan all around. Beside, no one was really expecting half the stuff Sony showed while EA has been pushing Star Wars for two years already. They've done a fairly shitty job at using that license because all of their games are still so far out.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

That was pretty bad.

Next year's should be fucking insane, though.

They're so lucky they have the license, like my god.

 

[avengers23]

No acknowledgment of #skate4. No Skate 3 backwards compatibility announcement. That pre-stream prediction was off.

 

[Liamc723]

They showed Mass Effect. The conference was shit, but they did show Mass Effect.

They showed maybe a combined 45 seconds of Mass Effect gameplay.

There's no way that game is releasing early next year.

 

[Zaph]

JV sums it up

 

[TheXbox]

They showed Mass Effect. The conference was shit, but they did show Mass Effect.

I meant nothing substantial. Less than a minute of footage supplemented with videos of satellites and people drawing on tablets. They need to stop doing that.

 

[CambriaRising]

JV sums it up

JV with the HOTTEST TAKES

 

[Fantastapotamus]

No seriously, what happened to that train game they showed 2014? Remember that?

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

So the story here is EA really has nothing going on. BF1 looked alright but this conference was pretty boring overall. Hopefully with all those Star Wars projects in development next year's should be more eventful.

 

[Myggen]

So they're still streaming during the Battlefield gameplay?

Maybe, seemed like they were waiting for it to load.

 

[ScaryShark]

They showed maybe a combined 45 seconds of Mass Effect gameplay.

There's no way that game is releasing early next year.

I'd probably take that bet. It's EA. They like to hit those financial quarter deadlines. They said they'd show more in the Fall anyways. They can blow it out then. The sports titles and Battlefield are way more important to them right now.

 

[Liamc723]

No seriously, what happened to that train game they showed 2014? Remember that?

Yup I remember that, no idea what has happened to it.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Titanfall 2 - More Anime.

Our Titans run on Getter energy now.

 

[Strimei]

We got more gameplay footage of that indie game than Mass Effect 4. Kinda blows my mind.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Fe was like the embodiment of bigger indie games to me. It somehow seems so generic

 

[EnlightenedMint]

JV sums it up

Well we can cross EA off of the list of where he is going next.

 

[MassiveNights]

That was so boring and dull. Surely behind the scenes shit is a big turn off?
