EA Teases Next-Gen Videogames from Criterion, Bioware, DICE and Motive
EA via its EA play event has teased next-gen graphics and gameplay from upcoming titles on its publishing label. The games showcase work in progress for next-generation games that seem to be set in three well-known franchises, with Motive, who has just recently developed Star Wars Squadron in conjunction with Lucasfilm, seemingly presenting the only new IP.
From Criterion, a new Need for Speed game is teased, with particular emphasis being put on both detail level on cars and reflections, as well as the absence of any loading times granted by next-gen hardware. Bioware's showcase seems like a tease for Dragon Age 4 - there is a distinct fantasy look to the video, and I believe I've seen those red colors in previous entries' red lyrium crystals. DICE, of course, showcased a new Battlefield game, which exceptional fidelity on character models, and what seems like truly epic battles with hundreds of soldiers on-screen at the same time. Lastly, Motive seems to be developing a physics-based game where environment interactivity is key. Models used seem like a mash-up between fantasy, sci-fi and modern-day, so it's difficult to pen exactly what we're looking at. Catch the video teaser after the break.

Sorry EA, not even lukewarm here. Your studios are a shell of their former self, just make sure Respawn doesn't follow the same fate pls thx.
New ME, new DA.... can't even bother to look. Not joking
Don't support the worst company in gaming.

After they demolished Mass Effect with Andromeda I'll not spend on EA another dime.
Gotta say its heart warming to see so many people on TPU agree for once
Their after care is crap. One of their strongest franchises and trilogies, Mass Effect. Look at the treatment it got - and I don't mean the fate of Bioware. When I wanted to buy it for PC some years ago, I had to cobble together a weird combination of keys and DLC and post-install downloads through some strange Bioware website-contraption using points nobody ever uses anywhere any longer. Its still a scattered mess I believe; you can find versions (Steam) that can't even properly access all the DLC. Its a complete mess and there is zero effort from EA to sort it out - even if they own all of those scattered databases (!) and its account data.
Similarly, Origin, even despite countless updates (you have no clue whatever changes either) is still looking like it came straight out of the Vista days. Web design 1.0. Components sometimes just don't load, get placed in random locations on the 'page' which is just a glorified, clunky web page with zero functionality. Functions offered in settings are also buggy as hell. Payment options can straight up be non-responsive. I still never managed to buy an Apex battle pass. Simply can't - and no clue why, because no error message or anything. Its just a dead end I guess.
But yeah, you do you, though it strikes me as odd coming from the guy who had all sorts of problems with EGS... This leads me to a very applicable Star Wars pic.
No offense.
And Vadars not that stupid, he would have a minion do that for him.
I'm sold on squadron's, all the noise around it is exactly what you would want to hear.
Still I'll await reviews mind.
Look I caved at one point for EGS but when I tried to install the launcher Windows literally flagged it as “dangerous“ and despite me ignoring that it still has the “admin shield“ to install...
