Video Game General 5.0: HEROES NEVER DIE!

Need For The Furious: Fastback is more like it…

Fucking hell, EA’s press conference was fucking ATROCIOUS

Madden - boring shit
Battlefield 1 DLC - okay I guess
FIFA Esports - boring shit
NFS Payback - reskinned Burnout
NBA - boring shit
SW Battlefront II - literally more of the same, a 60$ DLC pack

A Way Out was the only interesting thing in the entire 1.5 hours this show dragged on

Do you mean Battlefront 2, or did they announce a new Battlefield WWII game?

The only entertaining part of EA conference was Total Biscuits snarky comments during it.

EA conferences are always the same. Bad, but never bad enough to be entertaining.

They are literally the anti-joy.

The best part of EA conferences is they try so hard to come off as hey guys we are the anti corporation corporation whilecoming off as completely corporate and soul less. Like a charisma vacuum.

More like Need for Furious: I wanna be like Burnout.

Damn I miss that series.

And the car de-formation is no where near as good.

EA has all their games running on Frostbite. Criterion had their own engine for Burnout.

The only conference I’m excited for is Sony’s. Their conference last year blew everyone else out of the water and I hope they’ll try to do it again this year.

Star Wars was cool, and a Way out looks interesting. Everything else was “Sports with story.”

I think EA did better than previous years though.

I must of missed it. What the hell did they do to Dirk in NBA Live 18?

Keep in mind that most car companies don’t really want their cars being destroyed in game.
It is the reason why Criterion NFS’s games didn’t have car deformation like Burnout.

You are right. It was actually one of the impediments to Gran Turismo getting vehicular damage.

I’m looking forward to the Sony Presentation and Nintendos E3 Direct.

Sony blew everyone out of the water last year. No one even came close to being as good. They will probably do it again. Though I don’t know how you can top Last of Us 2, Shenmue 3 and FF7 remake. Sony will figure it out though I’m sure.

Nintendo will likely have the 2nd best showing since they are going full blown Switch support this E3.

Except that excuse was debunked when Forza Horizon came out and real cars were beaten to shit. It may have even happened in vanilla Forza I can’t remember.

Highlight of the EA press conference.

4 real? Looks like a fuggin Alien, bruv.

I’m hoping they announce the sequel to Wolfenstein the New Order tonight.
