"we think our PS3 game is better than their Xbox game" - JOHN RICCITIELLO, CEO ELECTRONIC ARTS

BeastlyRig5334d ago (Edited 5334d ago )

I am just glade PC is first as it should be! Then scaled to ps3 then 360 & everyone is happy!

CaptainMarvelQ85334d ago

this is the best thing i heard a multiplatform developer say in a while

AAACE55334d ago

That line was probably all your brain processed... Ps3... Better than... Xbox!

Anyway, this seems like a good battle in the making! Could push both developers to greatness!

MostJadedGamer5334d ago (Edited 5334d ago )

"I am just glade PC is first as it should be! Then scaled to ps3 then 360 & everyone is happy!"

Their shouldn't even be a PC version. Publishers should focus exclusively on consoles that is where the money is at.

Sarcasm5334d ago

Meh, sales or not. Battlefield 3 looks like it has progressed forward technologically and gameplay wise.

MW3 on the other hand is using that same old COD4 engine with absolutely nothing new to the gameplay.

"we think OUR PS3 game is better than THEIR Xbox game" - JOHN RICCITIELLO, CEO ELECTRONIC ARTS

You guys should learn to read, he said the ps3 version of Battlefield is better then the xbox version of Call of Duty, what is that suppose to mean? We know that black ops on xbox is better then on ps3 but i still think BF3 will play the same for both 360 and ps3, he didnt say the ps3 version is better then xbox version.

NateCole5334d ago

I wonder how many E3 awards nods MWF3 got.

E3 could significantly affect the outcome of this competition between these two games.

If for example the press gives all the awards especially in the SP and more importantly the MP portion for FPS to BF3 over MWF3 then BF3 is going to have a huge chance to challenge MWF3 commercially.

EA will market the hell out of any awards BF3 get over MWF3.

@MostJadedGamer

I love that you think there shouldn't be a PC version. My guess is you're too poor to afford a nice PC and that's exactly why you'd say something like this. Because if you could I know you wouldn't be playing FPS on console. Well that and you're ignorant about how big of a deal Steam is obviously.

I think bobby just crapped his pants battlefield 3 will own COD3

likedamaster5334d ago (Edited 5334d ago )

I hope BF3 completely destroys this holiday. MW3 looks exactly the same as MW2, looks to play exactly the same, & from the looks of it will be on exactly the same p2p servers(FTL!).

Don't want to hear anymore about Call of Duty till they come up with something new or the least bit interesting, 5 years from now. The COD innovators left Activision a while ago, so even then I doubt they'll come up with something different for COD.

I'm voting with my wallet this time, and maybe you fangirls should too.

Oldman1005335d ago

"If you went to our press conference, you saw the PS3 footage and the Xbox footage. If Bobby thinks that is PC footage, he’s in real trouble."

LOL wtf? So what i witnessed at the press conference were both the 360 version and ps3 version being played at the same time using a mouse and keyboard on a pc monitor? Mind=Blown. I guess im in as much trouble as Kotick.

B-radical5334d ago

Yeah i was wondering about that but i assume it was just the videos that were shown may have been for xbox and playstation

OC_MurphysLaw5334d ago

agreed... I found that comment very odd. So odd to the point I would say bullshit. If you are claiming PS3 and 360 footage then you need to show us the game running on those platforms not a PC you are using to build those games on. If you are playing that game on PC...its a PC version until you put that thing on a disc and drop it in a console and run it off that.

therealwillie5334d ago

there was footage in one of the new trailers of the ps3 version but it was only a couple of seconds. not enough to tell if it was any where near as good looking as the p.c version

superrey195334d ago

They used a few seconds of ps3 footage in one of the trailers. The reason its significant is because no one noticed until later. Everyone assumed it was all PC footage. I'm assuming that is what he is referring to in that quote..

Soooo we saw the console versions??????

retrofly5334d ago

Didnt see any console footage, let alone xbox????
Unless it was behind closed doors but havn't seen any previews, and it would deffo have been leaked if it had.

evrfighter5334d ago

I'm guessing there might have been quite a bit of console footage that we're not aware of.

Yeah, the Microsoft deal has DEFINITELY worked out for everyone.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Saudi Arabia Will Own 93 Percent Of Battlefield 6 Publisher EA

When the dust settles on the $55 billion leveraged buyout of Electronic Arts, Saudi Arabia will be its only true owner, despite a “consortium” of investors being involved in the deal. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will control 93 percent of the company, according to filings with Brazil’s antitrust regulator.

blacktiger44d ago

Technically speaking, Saudi Arabia and TENCENT can buy the entire USA. ANf Democrat and Republican will not do crap!

Inverno44d ago

Letting foreign entities own half of American businesses is liberal and very progressive. So is bringing in all that talent from outside the States to replace the talentless and lazy American workers. And here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope. We're supposed to worry bout them "radical Muslims" minding their own here and ignore China/Saudi/Israel taking over.

blacktiger44d ago

Another thing I hate hearing is "liberal and very progressive"
It's 2025 and that stuff is outdated. Everything and everyway is literally the same thing wheter it's progressive, conservativ. Because they all wants the same thing have, king unlimited oney buy everything including your house.

Now they making mainstream media news that it's AI Bubble justify to highjack the price of RAM.
Another excuse for inflation!

Tacoboto44d ago

"here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope"

Lol, you actually bought what he was selling? Let's see this week alone...

Yesterday he pardoned an international drug lord, while allowing the murder of random fishermen on boats. Remember drain the swamp? He pardoned a Democratic Congressman jailed for bribery just today, nevermind that fraudulent drag queen republican that was kicked out of Congress and imprisoned for their fraud. It's so petty they're picking fights on social media with pop stars while using their music, and even using Franklin the damn Turtle to cartoonify their murders.

Looking on the bright side, the games may be patched to remove any ideologies that are incompatible for the majority of the world.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex51d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos51d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio51d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
