EA live stream archive from June 9th:
First up the EA E3 press conference which so far, has all the production values of getting Doug with High.

update 1: They are adding some innovative mode called “Royale” to Battlefield 5.
update 2: FIFA company talks FIFA. Champions League more fleshed out in all modes and some more control & gameplay tweaks.
update 3: Wilson talks, “new modalities” of play. I think he is talking yet another streaming service. Also Origin “Premier” which Andrew assures the crowd they will be excited to pay a subscription for. The crowd goes wild, well silent anyway.
update 4: Vince talking “Jedi fallen Order”. Respawn’s Star Wars game.
update 5: New Battlefront Star Wars DLC stuff . Not sure what it is so far, seems like more dogfighting in spaceships and a couple more game modes. Plus Clone Wars. Scattered applause.
update 6: “Unravel 2” sequel to the smash hit “Unravel”. Play with two characters, solo or coop. Released today.
update 7: Sea of Solitude. Still not sure what this is about. Seems depressing af. Cell shaded action puzzler?
update 8: Madden introduces “take the knee” mode. Not really,. It is coming to PC though. Oh plus they taked Basketball while I was getting coffee.
update 9: We have entered the mobile gaming section. Someone else needs to tell me what the hells going on here. Its all greek to me.
update 10: Command & Conquer Rivals. Micro RTS. 10*7 hex maps. less than six or so units.
update 11: Anthem. Flying suits & monsters. Looks like its gonna be a Q&A on now. Looping concept art & screen caps. They say Febuary 22nd 2019. This thing looks well over a year out IMHO but they know better than me. 4 flying suits to choose from. An action RPG. looks kinda cool.
update 12: No The Sims news in the conf :(

Every time I hear a new battle royale mode announced (like they just did for Battlefield), I throw up in my mouth a little.

3

Lol yeah I could hear the eyerolls in the crowd :)

4

Exactly.

Whenever I see Andrew Wilson, I remember Matt Lees’s E3 recap where he called him human fistbump. It just fits.

5

I’m at the pool with my kids, so if anyone can post whatever info they present about Anthem, I’d greatly appreciate.

6

People need choices, so we need to drop 50 battle royal games on a map and see who is last standing. :P

Fortine is Free and a huge hit, and Realm Royal just came out for FREE and has almost 70k players today.

PUBG’s days are numbered as a pay up front title, as no one wants to pay for a game up front.

7

Why is this so cringey :(

Why are these shows always so cringey :(

8

Because the popular, socially capable cool kids usually don’t go on to a career in video games?

9

Guy who works on SWG BF seems very apologetic. Alright Unravel 2 is my que to go get coffee"

10

I didn’t know Unravel was a smash hit.

11

That’s the joke.

12

I was being sarcastic, sorry :) It was a sales disaster. Looks like a copy of that game about carrying the kings coffin that came out a few years ago.

13

Very surprising how much time they’re spending on Unravel. There’s no hit potential there.

Ooh, surprise game release. That’s at least something.

14

Unravel was the yarn game with the red cat, anyone play it?

15

I just finished unravel last week. I loved it

16

I missed it, did they merge Play and Origin?

17

I played it via Origin Access for about 30 minutes, uninstalled it. It looks beautiful and obviously passion went into it, but it ain’t for me. Tired of puzzle/platformers I guess.

This german lady’s accent is impressively german.

I am surprised Way Out was apparently commercial hit.

18

Yeah it blew up on Twitch back in March. I wonder if that’s what drove it.

19

This Madden kid sounds like a total douche.

20

Makes sense I guess, the co-op hook would make it a fun stream watch game.

Yeah this sports stuff is the worst. I guess the only thing that will interest me at this conference will be Anthem, and even for that I can barely muster some enthusiasm.
