FIFA 17 WILL FOR THE
FIRST TIME INCLUDE A
MAJOR STORY MODE
11
Clockwise from
top-left: Mass
Effect: Andromeda,
the unnamed
new Star Wars
game, a dogfight
in the upcoming
Battlefield 1, and
the curious and
unique Fe.
segues, EA then moved
from the previously unknown Fe to one of the
largest franchises in history: Star Wars. In the
space of two minutes,
EA introduced around
six new Star Wars
projects, confusing the
hell out of everyone
attending. Not only
will Galaxy of Heroes,
Old Republic and Bat-
tlefront all be getting
fresh content this year,
but DICE and Motive
are working on a new
Battlefront which will
include content from
the new film, while Visceral Games are creating a new game with
an original narrative in
the universe set to be
released in 2018.
Finally, EA moved on
to the game that many
fans had been waiting for: Battlefield 1.
The game will also be
built using the Frostbite
Engine, meaning that
changes in weather
will affect your senses
as opposed to being a
neat little background
feature. There will also
be a variety of weapons and vehicles for
players to use in battle, such as airships,
battleships, armoured
trains and the chance
to control behemoths.
The main focus of this
announcement
was
the importance of the
community and the
possibility of 64 player games, which were
showcased immediately after EA Play ended.
In attendance were the
likes of Zac Efron, who
was clearly in need
of money following a
number of terrible films,
and Snoop Dogg who
would do just about
anything for ‘herbal refreshment’ and indeed,
he got his wish.
