EA will become a victim of thier own success and I really can't wait for them to fall. Hopefully Publishers that care will get EA's development studios like Bioware and stuff.

did anyone actually read the article? It doesn't say Frostbite 3 engine. It's the Frostbite Go. Meaning, a portable smaller version of the Frostbite 3 engine. good lord, people. EA sucks balls, but really?

Yes, but it's still Frostbite 3 on a smartphone BUT NOT A HOME CONSOLE. -facepalm- EA isn't even trying to support Wii U.


Some people always have a cellphone on them. I'm so awesome I always have a 3DS.

But it makes it seem like FB3 can't be scaled for the Wii U.

Make no mistake, it could. EA just doesn't think it's worth it right now. No large publisher would outright say "The Wii U is not worth developing for because of the low install base." They all have "nice" things to say, but let's be honest, EA is BS.

Go is the mobile version of 3.

If you read the article, you'll get that.

Just like there is a mobile ue4

And yes it is a problem.

Agreed, it is a problem, but EA will choke on their own garbage soon enough. it's like North Korea, how long can they really hold out? ^^

Fair enough.

Just pointing out that the "garbage" is seriously piling up.

EA is a piece of crap. I hope they collapse. I want them to DIE! (Not really die, obviously)

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)
