Next-Gen Consoles “Spectacular,” Says EA’s Frank Gibeau

EA’s Frank Gibeau was in the news recently because of his talk of release windows and next-gen consoles, stating they’ll be out in “about a year’s time.” And in a recent interview with Gameindustry International, he had a lot to say concerning the current state of video games, and where the next year will take us.

Next-Gen will be all about graphic

and spectacular graphics is the only thing that will save consoles from phone and tablet gamers

they need to give ppl a reason to buy consoles

EPIKgamer4285d ago

they are already losing to PC in that regard, what consoles need to do is provide gameplay you cant get any where else, and M$ and Sony are failing at that now.

VverdugovV4285d ago

You can play Uncharted, Halo, God of War, LittleBigPlanet, The Last of Us and inFamous some where else other than in their exclusive platforms?

WiiUalpha4285d ago

Of course not but you cant play WoW,PLanetside 2, Diablo 3, True BF3, etc etc etc either.

I can however play 90% of the same games which is why I decided on the Wii/PC instead of PC/PS3 or PC/360 because the libraries are pretty much the same except for a few exclusives and I honestly find that Sony games are only so impressive to single console owners. Most of us have been playing, maybe not the same game, the same concept in games for years that Sony is just now releasing.

Sony fans are impressed by All Stars but I am not because I know its just a copy of whats been on another console for years. Same thing with most of Sony's games actually. UNcharted is a tomb raider rip.LBP is their attempt at Mario.

I'm much happier with my Wii/PC combo because I not only got the highest rated games this gen but the library between the two is so vastly different.

AIndoria4285d ago

Another stupid PC vs Console argument. Can't you guys leave each other at peace?
If you want good graphics, get PCs, and if you want excellent exclusives with some really innovative gameplay(Heavy Rain, Unfinished Swan, Journey), get a console.

It's physically possible to own both, fanboys.

kaozgamer4285d ago

@ WiiUalpha

You dont have a ps3 and therefore havnt played any of the games. There is no reason why you should be bashing it.

They should blow minds going on how good fone games look these days. Dead trigger for example

FarCryLover1824285d ago

We all know they are coming, but I find it sort of rude in a sense to the console creators that EA are touting them as so amazing since they haven't actually been announced. I'm surprised EA don't reveal all the specs too, doesn't seem like they care too much to keep other people's secrets.

EA May Add A Replay Editor To Its Games

EA has published a new patent that wants to add a replay editor to its games, allowing players to modify the captured gameplay content.

sammichosaurus18d ago

They should fix their games first.

Knightofelemia18d ago

Most likely comes with microtransactions and loot boxes.

Inverno18d ago

Nah you just gotta watch a short, unskipable, 30 seconds ad every time you use the feature. Those same ads will then be automatically edited into your captured gameplay before your video is stored online (no local saves), where they will have the right to use for promotional purposes.

Snookies1218d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Please don't give them ideas, lol! That definitely sounds like something they'd love to do.

EA Hiring Ex-Military Personnel to Help Build Next Battlefield Game via "Hiring Our Heroes" Program

EA has hired ex-military personnel in order to help shape the next Battlefield game as part of the Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) program.

OtterX41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Why don't you Hire Your Old Dev Team who brought us the brilliance of Battlefield Bad Company 2 while you're at it. It was more exciting than anything recent in the Battlefield series. It just needs to be updated to reach modern times, but it was so great at its core.

just_looken41d ago

This would be nice but that team has tossed out the finals and has arc raiders on the back burner

20 thousand still play the final's

Why get slapped around by ea when you already have something going on.

What the next battlefield needs is a step back simple functional not a live service and smaller player servers than 2042. Just make it like battlefiled 3 with bad company destruction just something simple

But they already killed off ridgeline games that had ex halo/cod devs so no singleplayer unless they make another dev team for it.

It's what made zipper and slant six awesome. They had military vets working for them, no just as consultants, but as developers as well. I wish Sony never closed them, MAG 2 or an update to MAG and a new socom is much needed.

just_looken41d ago

Older ps3 battlefield titles did the same even went to the range to get sound files.

But all these titles we are talking about were on the ps3 a console so powerful it offered free mp and games did not need 4 levels of payment plans even more crazy was the player size of mag's games.

TheColbertinator40d ago

A return to the golden age of Battlefield seems so far away now

Str8Chaos7440d ago

Sadly I think you are correct. They just don’t get it. They will do their live service game with its Battle Royale and fail at both.I hate being so negative, but I have little faith in EA at this point.

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman70d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath270d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
