I took a little look into the EA livestream just now where they showed a rather generic trailer for "Anthem" and then some woman came out literally shouting

"HOW COOL IS THAT TRAILER?! You guys have seen it a couple time and it is so cool everytime I see it!"

THE CRINGE! And as I said the trailer was so damn generic with those half-finished sentences and such typical phrases I think I have heard in 100 or more trailers in the past already.

I closed the stream right afterwards.


EA is already competing for last place this year just for this single scene as far as I am concerned. But it's not like it's the first time for it to be like that. EA is EA after all.

[Ultragunner]

^ u should have jumped in earlier, they let two grown men on stage battling on their smartphone while two commentators were going nuts for a mobile game

[Chosen_Hero]

I almost started crying out of laughter (and despair) during the mobile C&C segment... Damn it EA, you just wasted Andrea on this shitty conference.

So how many new memes are there so far?

[Infinite Zenith]

The new footage from Battlefield V is so good, I have no words. Also looking forwards to Division 2's reveal.

[MCAL]

Oh I see the plan here. Have EA go first so that everyone else looks good by comparison. How dastardly.

Nintendo has always been the last one to do a press conference since Sony moved theirs to Monday nights. As someone said earlier, this is not a bad thing, especially given how Nintendo probably has plans to spread a good chunk of news throughout the conference (if the last couple of years are any indication).

Oh yeah, EA's press conference was bad, with them opting to hold news for Battlefield V and FIFA 19 until the Microsoft press conference and Gamescom respectively, having the reveal of Star Wars: Fallen Order consist of a developer being in the audience mention it before the news about Battlefront II (seriously, not even a single piece of concept art?), and still playing "wait and see" when it comes to Nintendo Switch and only offering FIFA 19 for that system for now (is it really too much not to have Unravel Two come out today on that system alongside the systems EA cares more about than Nintendo?).

Indeed, give us Xenobkade 2 in Smash. How could they not include it after how well it did?

I would be happy with just xenoblade x representation as long as we get new xenoblade representation considering it reached mainstream status

[serenade_beta]

Oh, I just realized that EA was actually today.
And from the way it looks, they were advertising themselves going to the mobile graveyard.
...Huh, neat...

[JagdPanther]

I am super ticked that this is the first time I'll miss watching the SONY presser in many years. I am at a conference through Tuesday, and I can't imagine I'll be able to get away to watch the presser Monday night.

[LoweGear]

I'm usually more eloquent about this, but that reveal of C&C Rivals?

Fuck you EA, fuck you.

Also, EA being EA. What's new?

[MeoTwister5]

Kingdom Hearts III confirmed January 25, 2019 for Japan, 29th for the rest of the world.

AFAIK Devolver does have a press conference this year, with them showing off Serious Sam 4.

Oh, and this:

[Chaos2Frozen]

I'm not disappointed because I don't expect anything from EA.

But I am baffled at their decision to showcase some of these games- Who thought it was a good idea to announce a Jedi game from Respawn without even a teaser trailer? Why did they make the SoS dev talk about the game first before showing the trailer? Why show a full match of a mobile game and not BFV? Why are they still cutting up footage of Anthem and making the devs fill in the blanks?!

For all of their insistence that this is a bioware game with a bioware story, the only new thing of value that I had learned of Anthem is the names of the two new suits, and why it's called Anthem in the first place.

[shadow1296]

I am pretty sure that the Jedi game is being mandated by Disney and if it was up to EA they would not be doing a single player no multiplayer no chance to monetize game considering their stance on those games. But if Disney mandated one because of what happened with battlefront 2 and told them they need to make a game that will sell well and not breed controversy to the point that they we're getting on global and local TV news otherwise they would lose their exclusivity deal. EA may have felt no choice
