EA however have declined this statement by the SCEE President with the following statement.

I could have seen it happening. But EA is EA.

Move along.

Bombibomb6152d ago

I don't understand the people that fell for it in the first place. It was a forum post.

morganfell6152d ago

No they didn't clear it up. That site gives no indication when the remarks were made by EA. You do realize that wording from EA was also in statements made months before this issue? It sounds like they just used one of those.

I'll consider the matter closed when I see an official statement from EA that is directly in response to this entire matter. If you look at that nz gamer article it actually makes those two situations seem unrelated.

Bnet3436152d ago

They fell for it even when the article clearly said Rumor on the top. Hilarious. Fanboys are funny at times, annoying at others.

badz1496152d ago

actually believed in this rumor? I was thinking that it was a funny rumor made for fun but if anybody actually believe it, that's just silly!

probably received suicide threats from xbots and decided it would be best to keep them around until they witness the xbox 360s ultimate demise which isnt too far away

Arsenic136152d ago (Edited 6152d ago )

Do you have nothing better to do? At least spend the whole day on your console and not trolling a website. Dude, you need a reality check, get a life. Your whole existence is about mocking a VIDEO GAME CONSOLE. How pathetic can you get?
Your going to die alone if you continue this obsession for an electronic.

TheMART6152d ago

The saddest part is that trolls like that are bubbled up by the SDF/SPG

Is it you Nasim?

CAPT IRISH6152d ago

good, I wanted to play it this year

TOSgamer6152d ago

I really don't know how he keeps his job.

PirateThom6152d ago

I often question this, and I can only come to the conclusion he has some dirt on someone high up in Sony's board of directors.

mfwahwah6152d ago

Maybe everyone plays a joke on him.

"Hey, Let's tell Reeves that ME is PS3 timed exclusive!"

"HAHA He'll totally fall for that!"

David Reeves: "I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!"

Hey, it could happen...

KingKirchner6152d ago

ya, he opens his mouth a lot, but he probably keeps his job because he's somehow enabled PS3 to surpass total 360 sales in Europe after showing up over a year later.

10YearFlop6152d ago

i hope xbots realize that it is a sony exec who allowed for this game to be multi-platform,sony are kind and understand the xbots needs for quality software thus they gave EA the thumbs up to make a 360 version

RoidRage6152d ago

You, David Reeves, and Sony just got your little lieing a**es owned.

side note: They f**ked up by using the ps3 as the lead, now 360 owners won't be getting a game that pushes the 360's hardware.

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia184d ago (Edited 184d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken183d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Pyrofire95183d ago

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

chicken_in_the_corn183d ago

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb183d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

DefenderOfDoom2183d ago

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno183d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex183d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya883d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled883d ago (Edited 883d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney883d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled883d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist882d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin883d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled883d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE883d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi883d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE883d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
