About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 7506 DaysIGN already has a take on this situation stating what I'm already assuming most of you are thinking, not just myself.
Visceral = maybe a Jedi Knight sequel of some variant
Bioware = Hello Kotor???
DICE = Star Wars Battlefront variant
Then maybe EA can dev some sort of pod racing internally (Burnout)
I believe there is talk to that all these games will be using the latest Frostbite engine too. So it'll look quite pretty whatever they make.
What does everyone feel about this move? Given EA's track record is this good for the franchise or not
Since 7442 DaysBioware does KOTOR 3 and DICE makes a SW shooter (Republic Commando 2?)
I am more interested in KOTOR 3 tbh, though i really dislike the combat system in KOTOR games unfortunetly, unless they make it closer to Dragon Age 2 combat which I dont mind.
Since 7422 DaysI would probably hang myself. This is the worst thing you've ever said. By far. It hurts me.
DA2 was the worst thing I've ever seen. Press the A button repeatedly to win? Made it into a crappy action game with RPG leveling. I wasn't as afraid for KOTOR until I read this. Luckily DA2 got bashed across the board so hopefully EA/Bioware won't go backwards. As long as Drew Karpyshyn come back to write it will have a great story and I'll be interested.
DICE and Battlefront 3 have me very interested. Visceral (Dead Space devs) reviving 1313 would also be great. I think there's a lot to be optimistic for in this news, but EA will always manage to fug things up.
Since 7442 DaysThe rest of DA2 was totally crap.
Since 7448 DaysAnyone knows for how long they have exclusive rights?
Since 6463 DaysPrepare To Drop!!
Since 7506 DaysThey probably still have a surplus of cash from all the years of milking Madden.
As for Kotor, I would expect it to be more like Mass Effect. Simple and cinematic.
It'll probably lose the old system most people enjoyed just like ME did as well.
Other than DICE, I have faith that the other two companies will put out something good. I feel like EA is really stretching DICE thin, which is sad.
I'm sure 1313 is dead.
Since 7576 DaysAlthough speculation suggests Mirror's Edge might happen too.
Since 6410 DaysAnyone knows for how long they have exclusive rights?
FTL: Faster Than Light-Lego, make it happen: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/35223

Grift is right though, DICE is a large outfit. They can handle the extra workload.
So I'm thinking 3rd person RPG from Bioware, FPS' from DICE and Visceral.
You know guys, EA's cap rating has been lowered to $6 Billion dollars...............a REAL steal for whoever has the cash to not only purchase, but absorb their debt.
