Electronic Arts has revealed the games it will be presenting at the Electronic Entertainment Expo taking place at the Los Angeles Convention Center from June 15 to 17. Whilst there are no real surprises, since we have known about most of the big name titles for a while now, it’s still exciting to know exactly what to expect at E3. EA will undoubtedly put on a spectacular dog and pony show as they trot out their latest AAA’s and franchise reiterations.
“This year, EA will go to E3 with a showcase of blockbuster titles – games that combine a great single-player experience with deep online features and support,” said EA’s COO John Schappert. “There is something for everyone from hardcore to casual players.
“This year’s media briefing will feature news and demonstrations from big EA titles such as Medal of Honor, Need for Speed, Dead Space 2, EA SPORTS Active 2 and The Sims 3 for console. All new properties EA SPORTS MMA and titles from EA Partners, Crytek and Epic.”
Some highlights of the titles that will be previewed by EA include:
Bulletstorm
Epic Games, People Can Fly and EA present Bulletstorm, an “original intellectual property.” According to EA, “Bulletstorm delivers a blood symphony of incredible gunplay and carnage on a grand scale in this unique, action-packed, over-the-top first-person shooter.”
The Bulletstorm skillshot system rewards players that “kill with skill” by laying waste to enemies in the most imaginative methods possible. The more insane the skillshot, the more points players collect to upgrade and unlock weapons, which in turn allows them to execute even more exaggerated skillshots
“This is creative mayhem at its best,” says EA.
