EA Teases "Very Exciting" New FPS

EA will release a "very exciting" as-yet unannounced FPS before the end of 2011, according to CEO John Riccitiello.

The EA boss made the announcement while answering a question from an investor regarding the future of the Medal of Honor franchise during an earnings call today.

[DaThreats]

Bet its a PSP2/NGP Game

[Kon]

It will not.

[captain-obvious]

i bet its that respawn entertainment game and or BF3

[guitarded77]

^^ this

[RonXD]

Why would it be BF3 when it's already been announced...?

[Sevir04]

Ding Ding Ding and the prize goes to captain obvious!!!

Respawn Entertainment's been working long time now! it's time to see what these guys come up with! I hope it's something better than MW. :-)

[yaz288]

I was going to bitch about how many fps are out there but that is getting old

bring it EA

[EYEamNUMBER1]

you would have to do something seriously amazing to get me excited about a FPS game now a days and i honestly doubt its gonna be something seriously amazing

[schlanz]

here, here

[femshep]

what about a Fps mixed with a puzzle game
puzzles you solve by actually doing thing not just shooting?

fps/rpg and rps/platforming didnt float too well
to me at least

[AKA]

femship
that what KILLZONE 3 is...
kind of, the part of the jetpacks and more...

[femshep]

AKA
fair enough but killzone 1 or 2 could never keep my interest =/

[chak_]

@femshep

Like portal you mean?

[MonkeyBoy92]

Is it just me or does EA just have to many FPS on the market at the minute, how about giving us Mirrors Edge 2 or something different?

[hellzsupernova]

agree
Battle Field bad company 1 and 2
Medal of honor
Bulletstorm
Battlefield 3
Crysis
I mean cmon if all those games can't take down CoD in terms of sales what makes them think adding another one will?

[NYC_Gamer]

EA would rather sell a quick few million copies instead of bringing something different

[Shackdaddy836]

At least they have variety though instead of releasing the same game every year.

[RonXD]

I'll take quality over trying to beat CoD in sales anyday.

[S_C]

@hellzsupernova ~
3 of those games havent even been released yet so why you talking about their sale figures ?

[DeforMAKulizer]

Guys, anyone else bet with me that its the insomniac game?

[Tachyon_Nova]

Yeah Im thinking that's likely it. Especially as Resistance 3 is out in early September, this will likely be late October giving BF3 a mid November release.

[DeadlyFire]

Bad Company 3?

Respawn might can offer a CGI or mock video of what their new game will be about.

BF3 already announced, but possible. Being shown in March anyway at GDC.

I don't think EA will keep making one of the following with so many FPS games coming from them one of the two might not make the cut.

Other FPS game. There are at least 3 potential products under this possibility.

[TruthSeeker]

No, It's probally Respawn Entertainment's new game. Not BF3 because it's already annnounced.

[charles2029]

Oh those earnings calls, always letting teases slip out.

[multipayer]

If it aint battlefield 3, I'm highly skeptical and half asleep.

[VenomProject]

I'm with you.

If it ain't BF3, I'm honestly not too excited.

@arjman

Yeah, they have now that you mention it. *shrug* Now I'm really not excited.

[arjman]

It's not BF3, haven't they already sort of announced that?

[multipayer]

It's not that EA hasn't announced it already, it is just someone other than DICE within EA making an FPS*falls asleep on face*

As long as it is not a military shooter, I suppose I'll keep the other half of my body awake... Has to be better than Call of Duty regardless.

[Shackdaddy836]

Respawn's new game maybe? Is it too early still?

[hellzsupernova]

its probably a bit early unless its a MW clone

[Checkmate]

i hope it is and that it comes out the same time as MW3 >:D

[sickbird]

Sounds very plausible. It would be huge no matter what the hell it is. EA could announce to rival this years COD.

[xstation79]

I can't wait to see what Respawn has been working on all this time. I hope it changes the fps in a way like call of duty 4 did.

[Fresh_N_New]

meh give it a rest already. More variety ftw.

[hellzsupernova]

"The intention for us is to have strong FPS entries each year," he explained.

HERE we go another CoD franchise style yearly releases FFS at least every 2 years PLEASE

[GSpartan777]

FUUUUUCK! Why another FPS? Jesus Christ.

[Burning_Finger]

EA and the word "EXciting" doesn't really blend that well. :)

I bet it's a NEW IP considering the word NEW on the headline. Captain Obvious is Obvious. :)

[lil Titan]

Once upon a time Battlefield 3...The End.

[RockmanII7]

I have a feeling its Medal of Honor 2. Since the announcement of the first one I've felt that this is going to get the CoD/Madden treatment until at least 3 are out.

[Tachyon_Nova]

I doubt it very much. EA have stated their intention to release a battlefield game one year and a medals of honour game the next year. Plus, unless they have another dev team that nobody knows about, there is no way that Danger Close can make a whole game (this time including mp themselves) in one year. The Insomniac and Respawn Entertainment games for EA have been confirmed to be new IP's

I'm betting for an Insomniac game or a game from Crytek Black Sea as they've been around for a while now with no announced projects. Add to this that Crytek have said it's studios are working on 5 or so IP's and 3 of them at least are FPS's.

[TronEOL]

Time to see what Respawn has in store for us. :) I need something to take Call of Duty's spot since I sold Black Ops and vowed to never buy another Call of Duty game again. As much as I'm going to enjoy Killzone 3, Brink, Crysis 2, Resistance 3, and the like, they are all different games. Same genre, but each offers something different.

So give me what I want Respawn/EA!

[Op24]

Maybe Far Cry 3?

[Forbidden_Darkness]

Ubisoft, NOT EA, makes Far Cry...

[Op24]

oh yea. See their releasing soo many FPS nowadays I don't even know lol

[one2thr]

NO LET IT BE "BLACK"...... BRING BACK BLACK!!!!
it died to young and it was by far my most favorite last gen multiplat FPS and it's story and game play was top notch too me......
BRING BACK BLACK!!!!

[teething]

Awesome. Not enough fps choices these days...

[goflyakite]

good one

[SpLinT]

There is not enough FPS choice right now. Every game is a different character skin with COD gameplay.

[RonXD]

Someone doesn't play Battlefield

[Sub-Zero85]

Crossing my fingers that it will be something from Respawn !!!

[lius09]

Respawn needs to make something to slap Kotick in the face

[Tachyon_Nova]

I'd be surprised if it was from them. Consider that the studio was only set up at the start of 2010, I can't see them being able to build an entire studio and then make an AAA game in under 2 years.

What do you think?

[x800]

what could it be? what could it be?

[DeforMAKulizer]

Insomniac EA partners game?!

[DeforMAKulizer]

I can't believe no one thought of the Insomniac game they are doing with EA...

Insomniac said that it will be either a platformer or FPS... My bets are on it.

[turgore]

Hopefully its a new IP.

[Tzuno]

BLACK 2.

[DarkSpawnClone]

another shooter ??? X__X it better be awesome and something we haven't seen before -crosses fingers- or it could be.. nah would never happen ...but maybe just maybe ..nah who am i kidding that game is forever dead :( ... new IP or a epic one revived from the dead :)

[ATiElite]

What happened to BODYCOUNT? who's making that, I'm too lazy to look it up right now. Nevermind it's Codemasters.

Just give me Battlefield 3 PC and I'm good!
