It Looks Like EA's Got a Press Conference at Gamescom 2015

Hmmmm

by Robert Ramsey Wed 22nd Jul 2015

Well, we suppose that this is a bit of a strange one. It looks like mega publisher EA is going to be hosting a press conference at Gamescom 2015 on the 5th August. The show will last an hour, starting at 10:00AM CET.

It's unknown what the company will actually be bringing on stage, but seeing as Sony - a usual heavy hitter of the German expo - isn't even having a presser this year, we reckon that EA might have something up its sleeve, especially since its rather terrible E3 conference feels like it was only yesterday.

Star Wars: Battlefront is a given, and a better look at FIFA 16 may also play a part since it features Europe's favourite sport, but what else could be on show? Dare we dream of seeing more of Mass Effect: Andromeda? Gather your thoughts in the comments section 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.

I'm daring to dream of Mass Effect. Mass Effect anything. Surely EA won't just show off all the same games as E3 again, right?

Stick Pele back in his box and shut up about mobile. Show nothing but an extended gameplay demo of Mass Effect 4, announce a 20 hour single player campaign for battlefront based on the original trilogy, as well as a remastered KOTOR II that actually has all the stuff it was meant to in it, and burn a load of copies of FIFA.

Then maybe, just maybe, I'll consider buying anything from EA again.

@ShogunRok More Mass Effect is never a bad thing. Probably the best trilogy of games ever.

There is just one thing they can do to top their excellent showing last e3 where Pele told us some wonderful stories bout racist Swedish girls and Afros; they have to invite Johan Cruijff! Not only is he arguably the better player of the two (I like watching him play better, let me put it like that) he is a master story teller! I bet he can easily fill 45 minutes with some anecdotes about how he enriched the Spanish language when he played at Barcelona, about his time in America where he taught American a Footballers how to actually throw a ball and about how he somehow was involved in the development of both the NES and the first Playstation (he usually doesn't go on record about it because he's busy preventing nuclear wars and stuff, but it's true nevertheless).

True! He did for instance forget to mention how he likes his coffee and he also didn't say a word about the husband of his favorite Fado singer, you remember: the one he had a short affair with during WC70, while negotiating a harmless transition from miltary dictatorship to democracy ( or Pelocracy as it's called there) in Chile.

I hope we get Ea Access on Ps4, it looks good value to me;Fifa 15, BF4, UFC, and a few others for £4 a month. Plus discounts/early access. I agree the reasoning why Sony didn't want it, but think we should be given the choice. Doubtful though.

Completely agree. The fanboys will tell you that Sony is 'protecting' (yes, some people actually believe that nonsense) you by not allowing EA Access on PS4, but with something like this, I believe consumers should be given the choice. If they don't perceive it to be good value, they won't buy it.
