Reddit user gets internal EA emails, gets details about Fe and A Way Out

[TheBrokenMan]

I searched and couldn't find anything.

A reddi user by the name of OldSoul 2 said that he was part of an email chain of some EA employees and posted a very convincing image on the PS4 subreddit.

According to this, A Way Out and Fe will make an appearance at PSX on December 7th and Fe has a release date of Feb 2018, while A Way Out is now slated for 2019, supposedly.

Considering the data and how intricate the image is, I don't think this can be fake.

No way. I was looking forward to A way out next year.

 

[Danzflor]

Yup, looks really convincing, similar to the Mario + Rabbids leak. If true, nice to see Fe released soon, bummer about A Way Out tho, still looking forward to it.

 

[Mindwipe]

Certainly look plausible enough for these sorts of internal decks.

 

[BY2K]

2019?

Man...

 

[Bandage]

Almost as bad as when Microsoft accidently sent someone am Xbox One before it was revealed.

 

[ThatGuyJangle]

If it is true - Nintendo Direct confirmed for January. Yay.

 

[Milennia]

2019 for a way out saddens me greatly
wow and this leaked a nintendo direct date, nice little catch there

 

[blue_phazon]

Looks like confirmation of a January Nintendo Direct as well!

 

[Jawmuncher]

Guess I gotta wait for a way out. Damn.

 

[D65]

The guy in The Way Out poster looks like the guy from Quantum Break.

I wonder what controversy they are expecting with this Josef guy.

 

[TheBrokenMan]

No way. I was looking forward to A way out next year.

I was too, it was on my games for 2018 list :( But considering how well made the image is, I highly doubt its photoshopped. More importantly the statistics at the right side of each picture looks like stuff that would be shared internally? He just posted these pics and no proof of EA employees email addresses. I guess they didn't want to get anyone in trouble.

 

[HockeyBird]

The most exciting part of this for me is the January Nintendo Direct.

 

[Risev]

Need to watch out for controversy surrounding Josef..... Why......?

 

[Deleted member 3017]

January Nintendo Direct confirmed! lol

 

[RailWays]

Dat January Nintendo direct.

 

[Raijinto]

lol amazing way for a Direct to be leaked.

 

[Zalman]

January Direct bois

 

[Deleted member 1413]

FE was revealed in 2016 and won't come out till next year so the way out timing sounds about right.
I don't think these smaller indie games benefit from being announced so early. Lose a ton of hype

 

[Caiops]

Isn't TGA in Dec.7?

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Oh yes a Jan direct again, might want both of these games as well.

 

[NICHIJOUDENSETSU]

I don't know why, but reading this makes me dislike EA even more.

 

[OnanieBomb]

Never heard of either but look at that juicy ad lingo. Almost too corporate to be real.

But hey, if it is real, January Direct sounds sweet.

 

[_Karooo]

I don't get the IGN quote... Has the A Way Out been revealed?

 

[supershort]

Aha! Another Nintendo game! They think they're slick but we already know it's coming!

 

[tolkir]

Nintendo Direct confirmed in January. Awesome.

 

[DontHateTheBacon]

If it is true - Nintendo Direct confirmed for January. Yay.

This is the most exciting news to come out of this "leak." Bring on the Direct!

 

[Yukinari]

Nintendo always does a january direct no? Not shocked.

 

[AAMARMO]

So urm we got a direct date.....

 

[DriftingSpirit]

At E3 this year.

 

[Nothing Loud]

Man this guy is going to get sued so hard.

Yep. at E3. A big show stealer!

 

[Lord Brady]

Good to see Nathan Drake keeps getting work.

No, but this one was expected regardless.

 

[Nabbit]

Hopefully the January Direct can live up to the amazing January 2013 Direct.

 

[Deleted member 8112]

Biggest takeaway from this is a Nintendo Direct in January. Thanks EA.

 

[_Karooo]

At E3 this year.

Lol I had no idea. WTH.

 

[Paquete_PT]

"Sustain Indie Love" is one amazing phrase.

 

[Deleted member 4518]

Nintendo Direct in January then? I see that in the photo.

 

[Zedark]

January Direct confirmed, thanks EA!

 

[Altered]

Reggie said we wouldn't get 2018 news until the holidays are over, so not really surprised here.

 

[Kouriozan]

Glad to see we still get those January Directs

 

[Magicpork]

Not expecting January Direct to match this year's show but hey..who would have thought the Switch now has a shot at matching sales of 3DS family

Having looked comments of this thread... I guess very few people care about EA now..

 

[Jonneh]

Whoops.

 

[TreIII]

Thanks for the casual reveal of the Nintendo Direct~

 

[RoboPlato]

A Way Out for 2019? Damn. Wasn't it supposed to be early 2018? That's a big delay.

 

[Yukinari]

This part in the No Way Out summary makes me laugh.

"Josef is great as a personality but we need to watch out for controversy"

Has Josef said or done anything the past to indicate him being controversial?

 

[Asbsand]

And just like that, I know a little bit more about how Nintendo arranges their directs with industry associates. Very insightful leak.

Need to watch out for controvosy surrounding Josef..... Why......?

Back when Mass Effect Andromeda's controversy blew out I remember Liam Robertson's sources in his report on the face-animation controversy said that EA has a "corporate culture of political correctness". I would assume this basically means that in order to protect the company's interests which is profit they have to keep a good reputation, thereby not doing anything intentionally that's at risk of being controversial. Unfortunately this also seems to apply to narrative aspects if I'm guessing right on what this statement is implying.

I really liked the trailer we saw at E3 so I hope they're not somehow sterilizing the tone of the game or that character more and make it too safe.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

yeah they don't look fake

 

[OnanieBomb]

Lol I had no idea. WTH.

Me neither, tough to keep up with things these days.
