Any word on if this will have crossplay?
It's an image booster and a means to court studios with highly favorable contracts so EA's name gets more market saturation. An EA Originals game won GOTY at the Game Awards last year. When was the last time an EA title otherwise won a major GOTY award?
Looks good but not a fan of the Fortnite style building lol.
Smart to go next-gen only though.
Has EA ever given their rationale behind their weird console gen naming scheme?
Also seems to be $70.
Yes, that's how it works

This is likely why they are using this naming scheme, yeah. For simplicity. It's just that it's weird because that naming scheme erases the history of video games before the PS1, as the implication is that the PS1 was the first generation of video games, which is far from being true. So in a way, it's insulting to what came before the PS1.When the HD generation came, the main two platforms back then were the PS3 and X360. It was quite simple to say that something was a Gen3 game as a wrapper of those two platforms. This naturally continued onwards into the PS4 and X1 generation, with the gen name matching the PS name for simplicity. Thus Gen5 games are now PS5 and XBSXS games.
Yeah very weird especially considering EA has been publishing as far back as the Atari days.This is likely why they are using this naming scheme, yeah. For simplicity.

Pretty sure Wikipedia lists their employee count at 2000 and the bulk of them are in Omega Force and Team Ninja so not that surprising I guess.KT the new Platinum with work flow?! they keep pumping out new ones
Monster Hunter with buildings is a good tagline.It looks good in graphics but the gameplay doesn't look very unique or special, just Monster Hunter with buildings.
