    Default EA and MICROSFT ..make Deal ..

    EA & Microsoft Ink The Dotted Line







    A while back, we brought you the story about Microsoft wanting to give EA more influence on Xbox Live. Well, we can now tell you that the deal is soon to be officially finalised which will result in a huge selection of EA titles exclusive and Xbox LIVE compatible. It’s a tough life for Sony and Nintendo aint it?


    this is from Xboxgamers rumor mill #9 they are usaully right on because its a Devolopers site and they get good inside info ,

    Maybe EA pulled there head out of thier a$$

    While this would be good news indeed, I'll hold off until it's actually announced.

    I would be so happy if that is true. Then EA games wouldn't suck on xbox. I mean they could be sooo good but they favor Playstation so they don't do anything but port the games to xbox. I really do hope this is true.

    I just thought about that. If they make games for the xbox first, all the games will look so much better. I would'nt care if they were ported over, xbox games would still look much better...

    e.x.
    If they made Nightfire using xbox dev kits and whatever they would be able to get really awesome effects and graphics and then when they went to port them over to GC and PS2 they would have to take out things...

    The way they do it now is make games for the PS2 by using the maximum the PS2 can handle and when they port to xbox they pretty much dont do anything and the FSAA of the xbox video card makes things look much better...

    Actually he probably does. However, seeing as he has nothing to do with the xbox, except being a kind of Mascot, it wouldn't matter much what he wanted or didn't.

    I agree. Bill is more like a parent handing out money to his kid to do whatever with it.

    He knows gaming is a 9 billion dollar a year market, thats all he needs to know, and his solders do the rest.

    Still, it doesn't matter seeing as it is not his department. He is head of software OS development I believe and that is it. He does not own Microsoft. He does not control microsoft either. He is a figurehead.

    It is people like J. Allard that will make things happen with the xbox.

    Exactly what i meant. He doesnt have to play games to see where the money is. Do you have to smoke crack to sell it??? Truthfully, he probably doesnt give a f$%k about games, but he will do whats best to take this market. Or shall i say his soldiers will do whats best to take this market.

    I hate EA, just look at my avatar, because of their lack of support for anything Xbox. (I still play their games on the PC because they actually are good there.)

    This is good news if it is true. I won't be holding my breath though until an EA game is on Live and actually looks better than its twin on another console.
