FFG Reacts - EA E3 2016 Press Conference
Cordova, TN; June 13, in the year of our Lord 2016--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is providing our reactions to the EA E3
2016 Press Conference. We missed the event on the 12th so we
watched the video of it on the 13th. An intro video tells us it
is time to play. EA Play is advertised. Andrew Wilson came out
to talk. He invites us in to play. They have hundreds of game
stations there in Los Angeles. He wants our feedback. He wants
to know what we think. Okay, we want family friendly video
games. We want games that support Biblical marriage. We want
games that celebrate the diversity of Christians.
Peter Moore is referenced at a completely different site. EA
Play is in London and Los Angeles. He has the same kind of a set
up. It goes back Andrew Wilson. He referenced new Star Wars
game, Mass Effect, Battlefield 1, and Titan Fall 2. He talks
about the macabre, morbid and gross Battlefield 1 video game. He
calls gaming a global phenomenon. He wants to addict all people
on the planet to his gaming products.
Vince Zampella comes out to talk about Titanfall 2. Playstation
4 gamers will get to play this game. A video for Titanfall 2 is
shown. It looks ultra violent, macabre, and morbid. Families
will want to avoid this excessively violent and bloody video
game. October 28, 2016 is when this game comes out.
Now we get a video of Madden NFL 17. It looks more realistic. We
see kicks being blocked in Madden NFL 17. Peter Moore is back on
stage. He references the content previously released in press
releases. Peter Moore references the e-sports thing. He wants to
make stars of all the players. Which means more of the lame
online game modes. EA is adding three new online game play
modes: Challenger, Premier, and EA Major. Madden NFL 16
Championships is referenced. Well known Madden players are shown
in a video. Eight players competing will play one another in a
competition for money. Peter Moore comes back to talk about
Madden some more. They will put up one million dollars in prize
money for Madden NFL 17 Championship series. These games have to
be played online.
Aaryn Flynn from Bioware comes out next. The Mass Effect
franchise has been macabre and morbid for some time. It is also
one that attacks Biblical marriage. Families will want to run
far away from this franchise. A video for Mass Effect Andromeda
is shown.
Andrew Wilson comes back out to talk updating games. Which is of
course expensive to families in terms of Internet usage fees. EA
does not care about that. He advertises the EA Vault. He now
talks about Play to Give. He wants to make the world more
diverse and inclusive. Translation: he wants to discriminate
against males, whites, and Christians. EA partnered with some
questionable charities. They are: He For She, National Center
for Women Informational Technology, CODE, Code 2040, and Special
Effect. In game challenges will give money to charities. Looks
like the diversity of Christians is not being celebrated by EA.
Peter Moore comes back out. He is talking about soccer (aka
futball). Fifa 17 is the next game up to be talked about. A
video for Fifa 17 is shown. We see a video with older Fifa
games, and we can see how the game has improved over the years.
The career mode (The Journey) in Fifa 17 is shown. Alex Hunter
tries to excite us about Fifa 17. Peter Moore gives us some
propaganda about Fifa 17. Well known managers are being added to
the game. The manager of Liverpool comes out to meet Peter
Moore. Aaron McHardy comes out to talk about Fifa 17 some more.
A couple more Fifa 17 videos are shown.
Patrick Soderlund comes out to talk about surprises. He talks
about Yarny and the indie game Unravel. He is plugging indie
games. EA Originals is announced. This is about taking first
time experiences and bringing them to the world, supporting
small developers, and funding a level of security to the indie
game developers. He wants all of the profits to go back to the
hands of the developers. Will they fund Christian video game
developers?
Klaus Lyngeled comes out next. Fe is the next game that is
shown. It is from Zoink Games. They are an indie game developer
in the EA Originals label. This game looks interesting. It looks
like it might be family friendly. Hopefully there will be
physical copies of this game. A video for Fe is shown. The
sounds in Fe are freaky, and the music is disturbing. There is
some violence in this game.
Now it is time for Star Wars. Jade Raymond comes out next. She
is happy to talk about their Star Wars games. She gives us Star
Wars propaganda. She references existing Star Wars games. Next
year there will be a new Star Wars Battlefront game. A new
original Star Wars game with new characters is coming from Dice
and Motive. In 2018 a new action adventure game is coming from
Visceral. Respawn Entertainment is making a new third person
action adventure Star Wars game. A Star Wars video is shown on
the companies making new Star Wars games. A VR Star Wars game is
also coming.
Patrick Soderlund comes out again. He is talking about the ultra
violent, and totally unrealistic Battlefield 1. A video for the
game is shown. Bloody, violent, bad language, and more is in
that video. Patrick Bach comes out to talk about Battlefield 1
some more. It is finally over with.
EA Grade: C-
