EA Play Live June 2020
After a few days off from Not-E3, the next show was tonight’s EA Play Live June 2020. I didn’t have huge hopes for it, but I do like some EA games, and I was hoping to see at least a small update on the new Dragon Age game that was announced in 2018.
Anyway, this year’s EA show began with a speech, then an announcement of new content coming to Apex Legends. Then there was a montage of players talking about diversity in The Sims and how they use The Sims to express themselves, all of which led up to the announcement that The Sims 4 is coming to Steam.
This was a big deal, as they next highlighted other games they recently brought to Steam, including Command & Conquer Remastered.
After that, animated versions of developers talked about how they come up with ideas and make games.
Finally, then, we got into some new games. The developers of A Way Out announced a co-op platformer called It Takes Two, saying it’s like a roller coaster that ends by throwing you into space. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from that.
The next new game was Lost in Random, an action-adventure game with a pretty neat visual style. It looks like it might be interesting.
After that was a multiplayer rocket-themed shooter called Rocket Arena.
Now, earlier this week, they announced Star Wars: Squadrons. They talked about it here and showed more of it, but unlike last year’s Jedi: Fallen Order (which I still need to play), Squadrons doesn’t really look like my sort of game. I’m sure a lot of people are excited, though.
Then it was time for sports… with a very strange EA Sports trailer that had many surreal, psychedelic, and occasionally even creepy moments. I’m not sure what was up with that.
By this point, I was starting to lose hope for Dragon Age, but then they started talking about future games – which meant a discussion of next-gen technology and similar things they’ll be using, but in there was a tiny glimpse of what I assume are Dragon Age 4 environments
Then they teased one last exciting thing they wanted to share, which turned out to be that a new Skate title was in development.
It was a fairly underwhelming show for me, and I was hoping for more Dragon Age than a few seconds of art, but what did you think of EA’s show?
