What Did EA Announce At Its E3 2016 Press Conference

It's safe to say that the reaction to EA's press conference hasn't been all too positive, but the publisher still managed to cough up several trailers and throw out a few announcements. Highlights included a rather impressive look at Battlefield 1 and a slightly better glimpse of Mass Effect: Andromeda - although we'd advise you to temper your expectations before digging into the latter. In any case, you can find all of the news listed below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

EA Didn't really announce anything we didn't expect - well apart from its EA Originals.
The familiar and yearly sports titles, BF1 and TF2 with behind the scenes look at games that seem a LONG way off - even ME:Andromeda - even though that was expected in Q1 2017. All the Star Wars games won't arrive before E3 2017 and the first after that should be SW:BF2.

I had hoped that one of the 'action' Star Wars games would arrive before 2018 and for a better look at ME game play but as it was, I have to settle for TF2 as I don't enjoy sportzzzzzzzzzz gamezzzzzzzzzz. BF1 looked and played like a reskinned BF4 but with a 'dynamic' weather added. Could be good for a laugh but not my first choice FPS this winter...

Wow, this is shaping up to be a lame E3 all around.

Where's Mass Effect? Where's Dragon Age Tactics? Or even a remaster collection of the first 2?

You know it's lame when I'm begging to even see a remaster.

The games they showed were fine and look forward to Fe. Interesting to add stpry mode to Fifa even though I do not play it. I just think that the presnetation of the games could have been better, more showing of the games and also actual demos on stage. I think they need to work on the presentation for next year it felt underwhelming

What a disappointment. The tiny bit of ME:A we did see looked fantastic but it was nothing substantial. Not even a proper trailer! The main E3 really needs to deliver now or this year is seriously gonna fall flat.

This was a perfect example of why EA shouldn't do conferences. They do them because they feel they have to, rather than because they have something to announce. They spent ages announcing precisely nothing.
