It's been a wonderful ride, but all good things must come to an end, and EA must also leave the stage. They've shown us a lot of good stuff throughout the conference, meaning there's a lot for gamers to get excited about. They also unveiled a couple of new initiatives, such as supporting independent developers, as well as supporting E-sports and charities through gaming.
This section is for all the little mentions I figure you might still want to know about mainly Mass Effect Andromeda and their plans for Star Wars.
Mass Effect Andromeda is the next for the series, and this time around is departing from Commander Shepherd and his storyline (not much left you could do with it now) to explore other aspects of the galaxy that the player may not have been fully aware of when playing through the Mass Effect trilogy.
Unfortunately we didn't see a lot for Mass Effect Andromeda, more of a behind the scenes peek at what the guys have been up to. We did get a pretty smart looking trailer though.
Not related to the trailer, we did find out that the ship is called Tempest, which is a pretty cool name. We also saw a lot of environment shots and some very flattering closeups of both humans and Asari. Hopefully we get to hear more soon, as I for one am eager to get my hands on this title.
Now that's not all, as this is a round up, it would be rude of me to not mention their plans for the Star Wars franchise. They laid out a very simple roadmap that let us know there are at least 3 games in the works.
First up is their plans for Battlefront. They have a nice bunch of DLC lined up for us with new maps, but the biggest surprise was the fact that they have Battlefront 2 scheduled for next year. It's pretty soon in my opinion for one, but this time they've listened to the fans and have made appropriate fixes. I'm apprehensive, but optimistic.
Finally they finished up by telling us that there are 2 more games in the works. One to be released in 2018, that is as of yet, unnamed, however, we know that it's an Action Adventure title beign developed by Visceral, the guys behind Dead Space, and finally, one more title being developed by Respawn that will also be an Action Adventure.
We did get this snazzy little gif. It's only 6 seconds and it's an in-game cutscene but it's better than speculation and nothingness. Looking at you Respawn.
Thanks for reading this folks, we've made it to the end of the EA conference, so you know what we found out. This one's a little bit lengthy but I felt I needed to mention them both as they're big deals, but maybe not enough to warrant a post on each without boring you to death.
We'll be carrying on our coverage with the Bethesda Conference up next, so look forward to that later today.
