E3 2013 - EA Press Conference Wrap Up
So earlier today, EA presented The Download, showcasing there games coming out for the next generation of consoles.
EA started off by teasing people with Battlefield 4 Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, a 3rd person team shooter game.
Yet another game that seems to be slightly tweaked from previous years, then a very short teaser for a game most people assumed was coming. Star Wars Battlefront
After that, EA showed off a game that most people wanted to see at least 12 months ago. Dragon Age Inquisition.
EA then launched into their barrage of sports games. Where they were quite odd, in that they talked so much about the games, but showed hardly anything of the games.
Finally after that EA showed off Battlefield 4. In full 64 player awesomeness with Commander mode.
EA then ended the show with a game that I honestly can't believe they are making, but I am so happy they are. Mirrors Edge, this game is not a sequel but a prequel game set before the first game.

JOIN THE NEED FOR SPEED RIVALS “KING OF THE STREETS” BRACKET CHALLENGE
What if the car you use to break the laws of the roads as a racer could switch to the black and white? That is the question that the Need for SpeedTM Rivals team is asking with the “King of the Streets” Bracket Challenge. Vote for the one and only car in Need for SpeedTM Rivals that will cross-over from racer to cop or cop to racer making it playable by both sides. Gamers can choose from among eight road warriors – the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, Ford GT, Porsche Cayman S, Dodge Charger SRT8, Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series, Pagani Huayra, Lexus LFA and Aston Martin Vanquish. Join the challenge here:http://www.facebook.com/needforspeed.*
This is your chance to add to the unique gameplay and progression you’ll experience as both a cop and racer with one car that will embody the ultimate rivalry.
In Need for Speed Rivals, it’s all about the heat of competition in the legendary rivalry between cops and racers. Gamers play as either a cop or racer, where each side of the law has its own set of high stakes challenges, rewards and consequences. As a racer, the goal is to become infamous for taking risks behind the wheel and capturing your most intense escapes on video for the world to see. The more cops players evade, the more Speed Points they collect, enabling them to unlock new cars, personalisation options and evasion tech. Keep raising the stakes race after race to become an ever-more valuable target to the cops – but risk losing it all if busted. As a cop, players work together as part of a team in pursuit of racers, earning prominence and rising in the ranks of the Police Force with every bust, unlocking unique cop cars and more powerful pursuit tech.
Need for Speed Rivals will be available in Australia on November 21 and in New Zealand, November 22, 2013, on the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and PC via OriginTM. Need for Speed Rivals will also be available for the Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PlayStation 4 later this year.
