"That crane is coming down!" *just stands there and watches*

I've just seen the PGA Tour trailer. Battleships on a golf course, EA has finally disappeared up their own ass.

 

[C-ZETA]

I mean, really? They had a solid golf audience and they are gonna throw it all in the trash for some 'random xD' humor courses?

Anything to liven up golf...
Probably be bugged anyway.

Reported.

 

[Parker]

Hardline looks pretty badass, actually. I'm definitely signing up for the beta.

 

[Jawehawk]

Wow. WORST! GAMEPLAY! EVER! It's just so pathetic to watch something that is so scripted.
Do people really fall for crap like this? Seriously... It's so generic.

CGI trailers are less scripted than EA's Battlefield gameplay demos

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Does anyone have a good stream? YouTube has gone kaput and is looping something with Criterion.

 

[Samus]

Wow, that was so cheesy. "THE BETA IS LIVE *STEAM SHOTS*"

 

[iMikeTheKing]

I didn't know BF:H would look exactly like BF4.

 

[MHPALA]

PS4 PSN store is not working. FML.

It will be bugged for sure, but as someone who sunk(no pun intended regarding the battleship or putting) 200+ hours into PGA14 this is just a slap in the face, because any chance of a complete Golf game with a vast array of courses in now nadda.

 

[Ameer67]

And that's it for EA. Usual CGI crap.

 

[Samus]

It just finished. Ubisoft is next in two hours.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Oh well.

Criterion apparently announced some extreme sports game right?

 

[ProjectWHaT]

OMG BETA OMG BETA OMG

 

[Brend]

Well, it was a tech demo even less along than the NextCarGame tech demo from a while back, it's not even worth commenting on.

I'm trying to sign up for it right now but it says processing for the last 3 minutes.

 

[RACECAR]

Well folks, that's EA. What did you expect? They even told you that's all they were gonna show so I'm not sure what you guys were expecting.

Overall, EA was all kinds of underwhelming. Nothing but CGI and really, lots of gimmicky things that weren't necessary. The documentaries felt unnecessary as well, did we really need that many reminders that a lot of this stuff was in development?

@The Stig Farmer

fair enough...

 

[Samus]

CGI and renders are fine if that's what they say they are but trying to claim that NHL footage was gameplay was ridiculous. Not that I have any interest in NHL games mind you.

Oh well.

Who knows what it was. They showed a load of transport modes like quad bikes and choppers, showed a backflip on said quad and that was about it. What the gameplay or genre actually is who knows. It looked like very new work, so don't expect anything for 2/3 years.

 

[Brend]

EA gets a 3/10, only because of...

 

[sems4arsenal]

FIFA 15 was crap, Hardline though if they nail the servers that has the making of a stunning game.

 

[TokoTurismo]

@The Stig Farmer

This. Not even worth mentioning at all. In my opinion, Criterion Games shouldn't even bother making another game that may very well get boring and brought back to the store in 1 to 2 days.....

 

[Samus]

Was it me or was there a lot of clipping into the 'next-gen' grass? It didn't look very impressive.

That's a bit harsh, it seriously did look like the results of about a months work. Not really fair to judge anything based on that.

 

[chromatic9]

gametrailers stream is showing some Oculus Rift very soon

FIFA 15 looks very dated. Only thing I can take from the EA show is Mirrors Edge 2

 

[ProjectWHaT]

There's too many people trying to get in

Totally unexpected.

I know. 👍 I'm just disappointed right now.

 

[Brend]

EA really don't seem to get what next-gen is. I literally laughed when they said Madden had a new camera, who prioritises things like this for a conference?
