Keithcrash Is A Real Toughie that's a super idea! Unfortunately I wouldn't have been able to join in live during the street, it's the Canada Grand Prix this weekend, and I live in Montreal and I'm a big F1 fan, so I wouldn't miss going to see the cars. I'm sure Drew would understand my decision haha!
Feel bad for the DICE guy, having to come out to what he knew would be a muted response. Especially because you know all of the microtransactions and monetization stuff was never their idea for that game in the first place. The people at DICE probably just want to make a really good Battlefront game, and they've now been fucked over twice by their owners - BF1 was rushed out the door with not enough stuff in it, and BF2 was undermined by loot boxes that poisoned the game's entire progression structure.
Yeah, that's something that doesn't get enough attention in the midst of these big controversial releases. The executives and shareholders who are responsible for these decisions always hide behind their developers and community managers as things go wrong. The people gamers should actually be angry are almost never the ones who put themselves out there to take the brunt of the outrage.
That was the most underwhelming E3 conference I have ever seen. There was no surprises, except two indy games that look good, and a classic RTS being recycled to a mobile game. Anthem is, after all, not a classic Bioware game. This is an MMO shooter, and couldn't interest me less. Overall a big disappointment.
This was actually really bad. They never really talked about the games, they talked a lot of crap... They looped over video multiple times while people were talking and there was a lot of just "Talk" that was not about the actual games from the presenters. Really flat. EA is really in trouble.
It's actually crazy how shitty EA is right now. They own what are/were some of the best studios in the business, a bunch of high profile licences, and all they could throw together was THIS.
It reminded me of seeing Trump delivering a speech someone else wrote for him. SOunding like a smart person for once but then the constant looks at the teleprompter giving it away.
Watching Giantbomb watch press conferences is my favorite Giantbomb to watch.
Same!! It's kind of like experiencing it with a bunch of friends, much more personal than just watching the conference alone :)
Violins77 Right? It’s half the fun. I should start a “watch Giantbomb watch a press conference” discord or something. Make it super meta. And fun.

Violins77 Grand Prix? Is that the stuff with fries and gravy?
Kidding.
Sounds fun! Enjoy!
This is the only way I watch these conferences anymore. You get to see everything with the benefit of cracking up as well. 👍
8:55 "Command & Conquer! They should bring that back." - Dan Ryckert
Monkey's Paw....
God, what a mess of a press conference. Outside of the two indie games, it was all fairly bland to outright bad. Skate 4 would have saved it.
grandCurator Skate 4 will defeat Isis.
g1nobleteam EA hates America...
Unless Skate 4

Man that Sea of Solitude speech was so dang heartfelt.
That woman is a treasure
I wasn't totally sold on the artsy premise she was dishing out but then I was feeling the emotions when the trailer sprung up
34:02 the crowd's *deathly* silence when he stops for the applause after announcing Count Dooku
28:30 best part of an utterly dismal press conference.
It was nice to see a genuine human during this thing.
Evan Buchholz I'd say that about the Sea of Solitude dev too.
hands down
12:09 Future Drew Scanlon here to warn us about the androids.
Future Drew Scanlon has seen some shit but handled it like a boss.
"They should bring Command & Conquer back"
Why did you have to say that?! I'd rather have nothing instead of that mobile monstrosity.
Is it just me or is Jeff ageing really well? He looks damn good here.
he has lost a lot of weight over the years, im happy for him
even borning pressers are fun with the bomb crew.
Seriously, watching this without their commentary would be torture.
Sports, explosions and movie adaptations. EA: Killing the industry one game at a time.
56:39 prophetic Jeff
I've never been more bored
That press conference was just incredibly 'eh'.
I don't know how you can announce a new STAR WARS game with so little hype.
Jeff on point with those jokes as usual.

I want to like Anthem but it hasn't clicked for me so far from what I've seen. I'm also not convinced it will be out by February.
Dang E3 is here already? I guess I fell asleep or something.
"I play for the fuckin Steelers, but sure, let's talk about your successes!"
48:10 "The goal is to bring all of those emotions into bellends"
Those backlights on the chalkboard are a little harsh.
they didnt bother to do EA this year
What an unprofessional conference. Felt awkward 90% of the time.
Did those yarn creatures just dock?
So it was a crap news conference! They are struggling to say anything good.

53:22 EA Games.... It's in the Bank!
EA Black Box is dead. Long live Black Box.
Hey guys! Just wondering where is the best place to stream the E3 conference?
You know what would solved the need to loop the same clips over and over, a Skate 4 announcement.
Well that was a shit conference!
