EA's been a bit disappointing in the E3 press conference department of late, but it attempted to up its game today. While it had its usual roster of sports games on display, we were most impressed by the likes of Mirror's Edge Catalyst and Need for Speed. The highlight, however, had to be Star Wars: Battlefront, which looks stunning.
But what did you think of the mega publisher's display? Did it sate you with its swathes of content – or did you come away from the media briefing feeling mostly underwhelmed? Take a step back, breathe, and then share your thoughts with us in the poll and comments section below.

Awful. The Battlefront game saved it from total oblivion. EA did the exact opposite of Bethesda: talk, talk, talk, and next to no pure gameplay. The worst conference so far by some margin.
Other than Mass Effect, Mirror's Edge and Battlefront, it was a waste of my time.
EDIT: Oh yeah, Unravel. That looked awesome as well. Sorry, the event was that boring, my brain has already started erasing it from memory.
20 minutes of games I cared about, an hour of sports and mobile. They may have had great games, but this was a crap conference. Highlight for me was Unravel; I cannot wait to get my hands on that game.
I guess they dont get that football (Soccer) isnt that big in the states. So having Pele on stage did hold the weight that it would else where in the world.
For me what saved it was Mirror's Edge and Unravel, the game looks so good.
Oh and unraveled reminds me of LBP a little too much.
They played it very safe this year
The only thing that made it decent for me was Battlefront.
Boring as hell. ME: Andromeda looks nice but's it's an early pre rendered video. Mirror's Edge looks a lot like the first one. Battlefront looks great, but no focus on Single player may turn me off.
Nothing was amazing, but a lot of things were bad or awful.
from my perspective, only Mass Effect and Battlefront were of interest. Unfortunately ME didn't really show much and Battlefront looked great but I still can't help feel it will be lacking compared to previous games. It did raise my interest up a few notches though...
They didn't do much to make me care about the games, then that woman said "let's talk mobile" and I wanted to slap them all.
EA are jabronis. That is all.
What did we all think of the new Mobile Games?
For me it was real boring I'm afraid. The Mass Effect trailer looked nice but I wish they could have shown more. The Yarn game looked pretty cool, although these games are a dime for a dozen but I'll be keeping an eye on that. The yearly sports games are fair enough but I'm not really bothered myself. Mirrors Edge looked good but I'm a bit worried about it being open world, it's pretty hard to keep open worlds fun and interesting and that world looks particularly stark and empty by its very nature.
Finally Battlefront, I'm not a SW fan so not a lot to appeal to me. The sound effects were excellent and it looks pretty, but BF doesn't really hold my interest so I don't expect this to either.
So in summary, plenty there for certain people, but not much for me personally
Edit: Oh yeah and I recall some Plants V's Zombies stuff, I blacked out there when the dude came out in the costume. Seriously why do they do this stuff???
@ZeD "LETS TALK MOBILE"
...yay......
