Reddit user gets internal EA emails, gets details about Fe and A Way Out
- Thread starter TheBrokenMan
- Start date
I'm guessing they intend to ship in FY18 for copies being sold to consumers in April, assuming the 2019 statement is correct.
So like stores buy X number of copies in March and then sell them on in April.
They had a box release for Unravel.
They did say they weren't on track at all!
A Way Out was said to be launching early next year. This 2019 thing makes absolutely no sense. What kind of change was so big as to warrant such a lengthy delay?
Snide aside, that sort of thing could be done in a matter of weeks. You don't delay a game by a full year unless some major restructuring is require.
I'll need more from a way out to be convinced, but HERE , dates for new infos .. i'll see then , if it's a game for me
I don't know what it is exactly, but as soon as I saw him Drake came to mind.
For me the most interesting thing in this is how EA communicate with shareholders (assuming this "letter" is for shareholders)
This gets me: "Josef as a personality is a plus, his passion is great, but need to watch out for controversy"
- probably reference to No Mans Sky, where Murray was super excited about his game and it fails to deliver.

"Let him talk, but not too much"
That's part of what my previous posts were referencing. I wasn't aware that indies had any love for EA, so if they're talking about sustaining nothing, then I guess that goal is pretty easy.
thats how you know its real.
i wish i could find the bombcast when paul barnett guested and brought internal documents about different "gamer types"
I get misdirected emails all the time. With content far more important and confidential than some WIP marketing materials for a video game
No clue if it's real, but it's totally plausible
when i clicked the thread waking up in the morning i seriously thought it was Sam and Nathan Drake too lol
You say this like is something bad. Do you even know how the world works?
Yeah about 4 hours after reading the thread I realised I'd seen the trailer for A Way Out at e3, had completely gone from my memory.
I liked the look of Fe when it got revealed, but thinking back I don't really know anything about it. Just assumed it was a platform adventure a bit like Ori or something. Any solid details or previews of it?
Obviously there is more to it but I wonder why EA gave FE similar IPO and APO ratings to A Way Out. By their own statements they have more confidence in A Way Out and they are concerned about FE's market awareness. What else could be factoring into their forecasts?
I would think the WW numbers for FE would a lot lower the way it's being described.
Practically everyone in this thread is excited about the January but are any of you guys excited that EA is releasing another game for the Switch? I'm surprised to see a new IP considering how timid they have been this year. FIFA was decent effort that seemed to underperform but at least this game could satiate some platformer fixes since Yoshi looks pretty weak so there is only Kirby in the short term. Even from Indies I don't see any good platformers coming from January to March unless Super Meat Boy falls into that time period.

Really wish you could play A Way Out solo like Brothers or with a CPU AI partner or just switch between the two characters. Oh well. 2019 sucks for those wanting to play it but extra time should make it better.
I'm actually surprised by the number of people that didn't know the term "influencer" is wildly used, and not just in the video game industries. I went to a "How to use Social Media in your Marketing", and I was the only video game person there. And gods, the main point of the class was to find "Influencers" and get them to write/photography/promote your inn/shop/commerce. It's more and more important with the new filtering that happen on Facebook.
Tourists attractions have been using that kind of promotion for years now (and I mean more than 5 year easily).
Never thought of this term as something special. What do you find weird in its use? Genuinely curious.
Also, FE on Switch has been know for a while. I think it was shown in Gamescom in august?

I guess these are more their "wants" (or target I should say) than real expectations, and they fear that FE will have trouble getting to that point?

Thanks for reminding me of what games EA has involvement in so I can avoid them, I actually might of bought A Way Out *phew*
Fiscal year of 2019?
