EA Showcase their upcoming titles
EA hosted a Spring Showcase to show off all of their biggest upcoming titles. We got so much info from the 9 hour day that we actually ended up in a hospital ward for the weekend, it totally blew our minds. Thankfully our recovery went as planned and here we are now writing about all the great stuff we saw, all the interviews and our thoughts on each and every title! Lots of bedtime reading.

Dev: People Can Fly
How would you like to play a game which involves you working out what is the best combination of ways of raining death upon your enemies? Well, I’m glad you asked because that game is called Bulletstorm.
The game has you kicking, whipping and shooting your way through a rather nice looking ‘paradise world’ which sadly has turned to ruins, oh and is infested with man-eating plants, not fun.
We asked if there would be any multiplayer game and we were told that there will be a multiplayer mode, however, they didn’t want to tell us what it was. Rather exciting!
Expect more news from this years E3 and Gamescom.
Bulletstorm – X360, PS3 & PC (Q1 2011)
All Points Bulletin – PC
Dev: Realtime Worlds
It has been long awaited and we can finally see APB approaching stores near you.
Incase you didn’t know APB has been in a rather long BETA phase which has been open to anyone who fancied having a go. We’ve been trying it out every so often to see how it was going and when we sat down with the game at the showcase It’s pretty much finished.
The game has a micro-transaction payment system. You can pay by days, hours or maybe pay for the year? Also, an online marketplace to keep your wallets shaking.
APB is coming out this July only on your PC!
Dev: EA Black Box
It’s been at least 2 years since the last ‘proper’ need for speed (naughtiness) experience. We were actually feeling a little nostalgia pumping through out veins untill we heard of the upcoming online N4S!
EA Black Box are developing an Online racing sensation which lies in many of the recognizable Need for Speed Worlds. We found ourselves cruising the streets and noticing landmarks from Most Wanted and Carbon, brought tears to our eyes. The game features a full night/day cycle and also has the cars hooked up with special boosts and game changers.
Need for Speed: World is expected to hit the PC shelves on July 20th
Need for Speed: World – PC
