EA E3 Recap

Just like before here you will find a rundown on everything EA announced at E3.

First off EA

1.) EA opened with up with the new Mass Effect game and it's called Andromeda!

Take a look here.

                                     

New Mass Effect: Andromeda details have emerged following its official announcement earlier today during EA’s E3 2015 press conference, giving fans a slightly better idea about its story, characters and setting.

A trailer accompanying the announcement concealed the featured character’s race, making it uncertain whether it'll be a human-centric story or not. However, a new BioWare blog post reveals that the mysterious character featured in the announcement trailer isn’t the game’s main protagonist and confirms that players will be be able to play as both human male and female characters.

According to the developer blog, Mass Effect: Andromeda takes place far away from and long after the events of the original trilogy and offers “exciting new worlds to discover, great characters, and intense action.”

“You’ll be exploring an all-new galaxy, Andromeda, and piloting the new and improved Mako you saw,” the post reads. “And through it all, you will have a new team of adventurers to work with, learn from, fight alongside of, and fall in love with.”

Mass Effect 4 was officially announced as Mass Effect: Andromeda during EA’s E3 press conference today, and is slated for a holiday 2016 release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

2.) Next up was Need for Spreed (Reboot) 

EA has announced that Need for Speed will launch on November 3.

3.) BioWare took the stage 

BioWare Austin’s next expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic has been revealed. Knights of the Fallen Empire was announced at EA’s E3 2015 press conference by way of a gorgeous CG story trailer, with the expansion pack launching this October.

Knights of the Fallen Empire is free for all subscribers. The expansion ups the level cap to 65, and according to EA, "includes a Level 60 character so players can immediately jump into the new story-driven content."

While no gameplay was shown, the trailer told a short story about two twin brothers and their struggle with their demanding father. The boys grow into fierce warriors, hurt themselves in battle, and ultimately end up faced against each other in a violent family feud.

4.) EA announced a new IP Unravel

EA has announced Unravel, an adorable, physics-based platformer from Swedish developer Coldwood Interactive. No release date was given, but the PC version is available for pre-order for $20 via EA's Origin store.

6.) EA's Stream wen't down

And in true EA fashion the live stream has lagged out.

7.) Mirror's Edge 2 Gameplay

EA announced during its E3 2015 press conference today that DICE’s Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst will release on February 23, 2016. The first-person action platformer will tell the origin story of main character Faith in the City of Glass.

8.)Star War Battlefront Game Play

EA and DICE’s first-ever public gameplay demo for Star Wars: Battlefront has revealed Luke Skywalker as a playable hero, in addition to the Rebel Alliance and Empire’s roles in combat.

The E3 2015 gameplay trailer showed Imperial soldiers sieging a hangar on the frozen world of Hoth, where Rebels fought back with rockets, rifle fire, and snowspeeders. Rebel players sought to activate and defend control points, while Imperials aimed to keep the objectives deactivated. The Empire’s AT-ATs, while automated in their navigation, can be controlled to obliterate infantry. Imperial airstrikes also prove devastating against Rebels, who can protect themselves briefly with the bubble shield ability.

Playing as a Jedi allows players to deflect lasers at their attackers, as well as cut down standard soldiers with a lightsaber, or clash with enemy heroes such as Darth Vader. The demo also showcased X-Wings and TIE Fighters clashing in the sky, while on-the-ground attackers tucked into trenches for protection, fought off invading AT-STs, or crippled AT-ATs with tow cables.

And half way through the video Twitch went down! -_- The EA stream has gone down again! Right in the middle of Star Wars Battlefront Gameplay..

Shadow Realms is no more

Shadow Realms, the online cooperative role-playing game from BioWare Austin is no more. The studio says it's no longer developing the game, which was just unveiled to the public this past August.

"We've made the decision to not move forward with development of Shadow Realms," BioWare Austin general manager Jeff Hickman wrote on the game's website. "We fully recognize that this news is disappointing to some of our fans, so I want to explain more behind this decision.

"While the team did amazing work on the game concept and we got lots of great feedback from our fans at events and through other game testing, right now there are other projects for the team to work on within the BioWare studios for the coming year and beyond. We've got an incredibly talented team here at the Austin studio, and they are excited and already deep on new projects within the BioWare family, ones that will make some great BioWare games even better."

BioWare Austin will focus its development efforts on other projects, including Dragon Age: Inquisition, the next Mass Effect and other unannounced games. The studio will also continue work on Star Wars: The Old Republic.

"As every Star Wars fan knows, this is a massive year in the Star Wars universe," Hickman said. "We have some great plans for expanding this epic game this year, and look forward to sharing the news about those plans with our players in the coming weeks."

Shadow Realms was announced at last year's Gamescom as an online RPG featuring four-player co-op against a single playable enemy who controls "every aspect of the game." The game was slated to come to Windows PC.

With Shadow Realms, BioWare planned to introduce "a constantly evolving BioWare world where modern meets fantasy." The developer hoped to release the game's narrative episodically, which would play out over time "like a great TV series, providing players the ability to experience story-driven adventures as a community."

"This game brings us back to our roots in the realm of classic Pen and Paper RPG, but also delivers something that's completely new and innovative for our fans," Hickman said when the game was announced. "Shadow Realms is a new BioWare RPG that has the hallmarks of all BioWare games with a rich story, a unique world setting and deep combat progression, but built as an interactive experience that evolves the genre and broadens the appeal to online gamers all over the world."

For a look at what kind of project BioWare wanted Shadow Realms to be, watch the live action trailer that accompanied the game's reveal last year.
