[Erik7357]

Looking forward to seeing Battlefield 1

[PizzaSteve]

Me too. I think it will be the best shooter this year. Maybe even this gen.

[Erik7357]

I think itll be the best shooter of this year and titanfall 2 looks dope and OVERWATCH was amazing.

Tbh Halo 5 has so far killed it in e sports , overwatch might dethrone it though

[I_am_Batman]

If they can make a great single player campaign for this one I'm in.

[JCOLE13195]

Accidentally hit disagree. Looking forward to it too!

[Zorkaz]

Hell yeah! Though being in Europe, looks like I'll have to wait 'til tomorrow.

[agame914]

when does the conferce start on the east coast

[Kombatologist]

4PM

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Says 1:15 left until I can see it.. Texas here

[opinionated]

SKATE 4 or riot!

[Herbalistic]

I would love for a new SKATE or Fight Night to be announced today

[Majin-vegeta]

New Def Jam or GTO!

[DeadManMMX]

@Majin

Only if its Vendetta style. Fight for NY and Icon were hot garbage.

[Kreisen]

I just want some juicy Andromeda gameplay.

[Summons75]

Me too, so sick of Bioware telling us how amazing it is then showing nothing. It's time to show or leave.

[jb227]

Same here....instead they gave us yet another behind the scenes dev diary. Sure there were small snippets of what is meant to be gameplay, but that was not what I was expecting. If they can't come up with a proper demo or gameplay trailer yet, how will this game ship in Spring?

I dunno, I was just expecting a bit more from Andromeda. I'm not a fan of the dev diary trailers that EA is rolling out these days, they are nearly as frustrating as CG ones, because they show snippets of "target gameplay" but they have no narrative and they give us very little to actually go on. Unless EA has a strong presence at Gamescom I don't see how Andromeda drops before Holiday 2017 unless they just reveal a gameplay demo in some one off fashion.

[Kreisen]

I find it kinda funny now how after all the talking we finally got some gameplay.....where they spend most of the video talking some more.
Now i dont know what the rumored release window is for Andromeda but if it was planned for Q4 we wouldve definitly gotten much, much more this E3.

[blanka4545]

Yeah bf1 that is all from EA and Titan Fall 2! Maybe Madden but that is pretty boring now!

[jay2]

new starwars confiremd yey

[Angerfist]

Curious about Fifa with Frostbite.

[ONESHOTV2]

too many people on twitch this is a bit calmer https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Deadpooled]

Yeah it's better, but don't open that live chat, some spamwhores in there

[maniacmayhem]

Not gonna lie, that Titanfall 2 trailer was sexy.

Lol, "for the four people that didn't see the leak"

[Yetter]

Looks like they've improved every aspect in every way. I still play the first one from time to time. Can't wait

[Deadpooled]

Titanfall 2! October 28th 2016!

[cfc83]

titanfall 1 with grass. Oops it's actually titanfall 2.

[-Foxtrot]

YAY...EA Sports

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Would it kill them to just have a very small online show with the EA Sports stuff on before their main conference.

[Dirtnapstor]

Titanfall 2 looks good, I'd think Zampella would be a bit more enthusiastic?!

[SegaGamer]

Who cares about Gamer's playing against each other on Madden ? Show us something good.

[opinionated]

The black Shakespeare mixed with Bruce Lee.

[Deadpooled]

Fifa on FROSTBITE!!!

[Immorals]

Stop with the teasing Bioware, give us a proper trailer!

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Fifa has a story now? What the...

[luckytrouble]

Fifa gets storymode. Clearly EA has won E3. /sarcasm

[Deadpooled]

Mourinho lmaoooo

[Godmars290]

Titianfall 2 just looks like new attacks and animations for the mechs. Grappling hooks for the pilots.

[Servbot41]

Can someone explain why they spend absurds amount of time on the sports titles? Who are they trying to appeal to? The people who buy Madden/Fifa would buy it every year regardless of whether you not it was ever advertised anywhere. They don't care what you add or remove, as long as it exists their $60 will be plopped in front of the cashier on release day.

[SegaGamer]

What was the point in all of that Star Wars stuff ? they didn't show anything, it was just a waste of time.

[rlow1]

I agree it was like one big tease. You knew the way Jade was just grouping all these studios together and what she was saying they weren't going to show anything substantial

[georgenancy]

holy shit the jamie foxx and the zac efron bit was hella cringy lol

[georgenancy]

damn bf1 looking beastly

[JCOLE13195]

Battlefield 1 looks amazing. Those graphics... I can't wait.

[Deadpooled]

Battlefield 1 is the cod killer!!!! That was awesome, I've already signed up as an insider for the beta by searching for the link online, and now 1hour of gameplay!

Also Star Wars, I assume from that video they showed that Respawn would be making the next jedi knight game and Bioware the next kotor, visceral with Amy Hennig the game theyre making looks good from the test footage

[Ipunchbabiesforfun]

Battlefield looks so amazing and battlefront also.

[Dirtnapstor]

BF1. Epic!
Wish they had more Star Wars anything from Visceral. Perhaps with Sony or MS.

Titanfall 2...the mech sounded like Optimus Prime?

[1nsomniac]

Battlefield is back!!

[SegaGamer]

What a load of rubbish from EA again.

[Ipunchbabiesforfun]

Oh yeah and zac Efron and Jamie foxx? Huh? What, why?

[Moe-Gunz]

Only thing about that that I liked was Jamie was wearing a Tyson jacket. Seems that movie is being made after all.

[ONESHOTV2]

EA conference was a bit dead this year i was dozing off a few times. any way i was looking out for BF1

[garrettbobbyferguson]

4/10. Worst conference I've seen in a very long time. I walked away after they showed Star Wars because of how boring it was. Also funny, Titanfall 2 is almost literally looking to be the same as COD Infinite Warfare. Garbage. #F**KEA

[Servbot41]

It was seriously the worst conference I can remember off the top of my head taken at face value... but honestly... did anyone expect anything better from EA? It's like getting disappointed that a toddler couldn't do 5th grade math homework; of course they were going to fail.

[Majin-vegeta]

Only BF1 looked good.

[garrettbobbyferguson]

I'm an advocate for realism. I just finished watching the gameplay footage. It looks like a clusterf**k to me.

[noxeven]

I really didnt enjoy that conference at all. I was hoping for more teasing of what they were working on for star wars game and more mass effect footage.

[DemonChicken]

That bf1 multiplayer steam vs commentary at the end was bloody annoying (StoneMountain et al) and pretty random youtube intro video mashup

[Gh05t]

Well good thing that train wreck is over. Ive never seen so many people talk for so long and say so little. So many Buzzwords. And stop showing videos that talk about what your doing without actually showing what your doing. Announce it or GTFO!

[DemonChicken]

Good thing about these big publishers holding their own conferences would mean there will be less less crap on the main conferences - Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo

[SegaGamer]

I wish some other company would take EA's stage, they are awful every year.

[Moe-Gunz]

Conference was very weak.

[Tobsesan]

Well, not a Single new game announced, is it because they will show new games at PS and Xbox stage or dont they have new games?

[silkrevolver]

Well, they had that Fe game, but it hardly counts.

[Tobsesan]

Ye, couldnt care less about a game

[blest]

That was a terrible confrence

[georgenancy]

oh my this conference loooool

[DeadManMMX]

Why are there so many awkward celebrity appearances. Everybody looks nervous and paid to be there. Everybody looks out of there element.

[Gh05t]

Guess what me as a gamer doesn't care about... HOLLYWOOD CELEBS AND ARTISTS. Seriously who cares about these people.

[DeadManMMX]

The worst thing is imagine how much money they spent to get them there. They probably could have funded a whole new IP with it.

[Yetter]

Its an EA press conference.

[garrettbobbyferguson]

Because they're all literally paid to be there and nothing more. EA is trying real hard to push people to buy their game by saying "hey look, celebrities like weed man Kalifa and Snoop dog play our game!" I think Terry Crews was the only celeb that looked to be having a good time.

[Gh05t]

Anybody catch the shot of Snoop smoking while playing... Wonder if that gets edited out post.

[Ipunchbabiesforfun]

Jesus Christ this is bullshit. EA, fuck you. I don't give a shit if tyrese, his buddy and Demarcus cousins like the fucking game. In fact, I don't like that you think this is some celebrity event. It's so stupidly pathetic, just show regular people playing. Jesus.

[Ginpachi-sama]

The interviews are so freaking awkward

[Yetter]

EAs conference is always the worst...but that was pretty good

[DemonChicken]

You can see the hype when EA spends 15 mins+ (and counting) getting comments from big names celebs on first multiplayer steam of bf1. So how much money did EA throw lol

[Dirtnapstor]

I know right?!
They didn't even seem with it at all. Put someone on there that actually wants to play the game, not an actor that their manager said "go to the EA conference and look like a douch for a bit".

[Antifan]

Jamie is a A-list actor, so I'm pretty sure they paid him half a million just for those few seconds.

[FullmetalRoyale]

I can't even...

[Yetter]

Titanfall is going to devour everything this holiday

[XXXL]

Well that was a pile of shit. Star Wars behind the scenes BS? EA is the worst.

[Yetter]

wow....these battlefield 1 interviews, I guess, its an EA event. Ive seen them do worse

[rlow1]

Looks fun, can't wait. Glad they didn't make it to historically accurate.

[Servbot41]

EA spent more money hiring famous people to promote Battlefield 1 than they did developing the game.

[Ausbo]

Bad conference. As far as I'm concerned they showed 2 games. Battlefield and titanfall which looked the same. Mass effect was a tease, no Star Wars, and spent about half the conference on Fifa and madden. Very bad conference. I don't understand why they won't show mass effect

[silkrevolver]

God, that conference was so underwhelming. Totally took the wind out of my sails for E3 hype. Here's to hoping Bethesda steps up...

[PlatinumGX]

EA as always a snoozefest.

[BlaqMagiq1]

The only thing remotely good was Mass Effect and Battlefield 1. I don't even know why I watched this trash conference.

[Antifan]

Wait, why the hell Jamie was there, looking like Mike Tyson?lol

[TheColbertinator]

Nice work EA. So far you have the lousiest conference yet. Who can do any worse? Smart money is on Sony screwing it up

[RosweeSon]

No SSX old or new (Tricky ps2 classics or a new sequel to the most recent one) no new Skate 4... EA your proper boring. Not even a sniff of a new Burnout Paradise... Fail.

[Servbot41]

Don't worry though, they showed off at least three shooters!

[RosweeSon]

Yeah and a new Star Wars battlefront before they've even finished releasing the last one ;(

[OC_MurphysLaw]

T2 and BF1 are both high on my list...but if I am grading that conference its a C. I think it was extremely light on content and I felt a good chunk of the conference was just staged scripted banter and more we have nothing to show yet but will show you something vid docs to fill time.
