E3 2013: EA’s Press Conference

EA’s press conference is coming up at 1pm Pacific time. Keep checking here for live updates on their conference. What are they going to talk about? What new, or old Star Wars titles will be talked about? Will Bioware drop any bombs? And don’t forget the pleathora of sports titles!

This article will be updated in real time as the conference goes on.

Pop Cap is on stage showing us Garden Warfare a 3rd person shooter that looks to be based in the world of Plants vs. Zombies. It even has crazy DAVE! The game looks very crisp and the different classes have specific purposes which could lead to fun team based shooting. Pea Shooter is your assault troop, the Cactus is a sniper, and well, you get the idea.

FRANK GIBEAU is here to tell us how long he’s been making games. Gaming on console will never be the same again due to the powerful new systems from Microsoft and Sony

Hey what do you know Vince is back to show us Titan fall, the folks at RESPAWN are really excited about this crazy MEch/person shooter. The balance between Titans and Human looks to be a challenge, I hope this can leverage high speed shooting. Holy shit, there’s a guy wall running with a machine gun.

Time for Need for Speed Rivals running with the Ignite engine, EA’s newest piece of software to maximize next gen consoles. We’re going to watch a live race

Bioware is showing off Dragon Age: Inquisition, the first trailer “The Fires Above” is playing. This is the “next generation of RPG’s”>

Time for some sports titles that started in or around 1989!!! Somebody is freestyling about basketball, release, return etc. NBA LIVE 14 is the new thing to see.

Sean O’Brien is on stage with an NBA all star.

Bounce Tech actually ties physics to the ball, every dribbling animation the ball becomes separate from the hand, adding a new dimension and creativity.

Madden 25 will run better, look better, and play better. A.I. will detect gaps and coverage holes while allowing for my dynamic play

They’ve managed to tie another thing I don’t care about to sports games! He can’t wait to see the next gen of FIFA! Good for him!

Ignite allows stadiums to come alive, it has always been said that the power of a system and game is shown by the crowd. These crowds look phenomenal and unique, at least there are less folks in matching clothing.

That guy that yells about people kicking the shit out of each other for MMA is on stage. David White, another guy from EA and Jon Jones and Benson Henderson are on stage to talk about the UFC game. Those tough fighter guys are off stage now.

Time for Battlefield 4! It’s about emotion gameplay and investment.

Battlefield 4 includes commander mode, which allows you to directly impact combat on the ground.

Theyre starting the demo of commander mode, there are about 30 people on stage behind screens an a projector is lowering. This looks insane. Audio is gone, but there is a dude on a boat thing blowing up another boat, helicopters, tanks, machines everywhere.

Audio is back, he’s commanding the battle field from a Windows 8 tab while his squads are taking objectives. This is pretty in depth stuff

Holy crap surprise announcement! Mirror’s Edge 2!!!!!!!
