[XOne] EA games toch met xbox live support

ik kwam ip IGN het volgende item tegen:

goed nieuws of gewoon gelul........

January 20, 2004 - As most gamers already know, EA Xbox games up to now have not featured online support for reasons unspecified. The word is that this year, though, EA will be announcing Live support for the next round of sports titles, as well as a number of new titles, including the once-canned Battlefield 1942. In fact, we have reports of an unnamed Microsoft representative in New Zealand who confirmed that Battlefield 1942 will be EA's first Xbox Live game - a nice way to make an entrance, don't you think?

The official statement from an EA representative was: "EA has a strong partnership with MSFT and close to 20 titles in development for the Xbox system. EA and MSFT do not have an agreement for including online capability on our Xbox titles. EA does not have any titles in development that include Xbox Live capability. This includes the Battlefield franchise."
Not the news you probably wanted to hear, but there is the possibility that a deal between Microsoft and EA hasn't been made yet and that the statement is just cleverly worded to allow for such developments. Additionally, the EA representative did say that EA has been in talks with Microsoft about online play and that "...negotiations are always fluid." This could imply that talks are going smoothly, but also that - because an agreement has obviously not been met - things are not going well. Mixed message? We think so.

EA supporting Xbox Live means a lot for the Xbox. With an arguably better online interface than on the PlayStation 2, Xbox Live with EA games potentially means more gamers playing EA games online, and more gamers shelling out cash for an Xbox. It's a win-win situation, so let's hope we hear something soon. If such an announcement were to be made, expect E3 to be just the place for it.

We'll have more on EA and Xbox Live as it happens.

 

Er is daar al een topic over Klik

 

Eindelijk, ik dacht al dat het zou gebeuren want EA loopt een hele hoop geld mis als ze geen XboxLive ondersteunen. En waar gaat het bij EA om? Geld, Geld, Geld. Maar er is hier ook al een thread over.

 

Al de 4 e thread vandaag, please zoek eerst eens een beetje

zoek en gij zult vinden
