I wonder what the thinking was for having games like this and Mass Effect in the pipeline for this year, but leaving them out of the EA Live stream. They could have actually had a half decent one this year
From what we've heard people like Jeff Grubb talk about, apart from Mass Effect, all these reveals were actually meant for Directs.
They just reach the NIntendo audience better that way than at their own shows, especially after all these years of neglecting Nintendo customers.
When Nintendo restructured their marketing plans after COVID hit and E3 was cancelled, they told publishers to not wait on them, so EA put some of the games into their own show.
With the rumors of a Direct soon, Need for Speed will probably pop up there.
Regarding Mass Effect, I honestly don't know, maybe EA just doesn't think remasters are that big of a deal? I mean the only other game they remastered was Burnout paradise so far wasn't it?
How was that announced because I honestly don't remember.
Mass Effect confuses me to be honest, people have been pretty loud about it for years, so the demand is there.
Maybe they wanted to wait for a specific date?
Though november 7th would be kind of late for a reveal, so I don''t know when.
