Watch Mass Effect 3's Different Endings, See What All The Fuss Is About Not too much of a huge surprise, as Electronic Arts earlier this month told everyone it’d be publishing another Need For Speed title in the final three months of the year, and everyone figured that would be Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2. Yesterday, IGN reported that an EA E3 booth schedule being sent around confirms the game will be shown in Los Angeles.
It’s been a roller-coaster ride for the sprawling Star Wars-based MMO from EA Bioware. The Old Republic‘s solid debut couldn’t help the game from losing a sizeable chunk of players. Now BioWare Austin is losing some of the developers that helped build the game too, according to a statement issued today by BioWare founders Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka.
EA hasn’t been shy about blatantly saying that they’re going to extend their big games across as many platforms as possible. The recent example Mass Effect Infiltrator on iOS — which links back to the console game via the mega-publisher’s Origin online service — shows how EA probably wants this kind of thing to work in the future. An example of how they don’t want things to work? Look no further than Dragon Age: Legends.

While there were whispers of this earlier in the month, Sony’s Hong Kong website has now officially lifted the lid on a new piece of Mass Effect 3 DLC.
After it was discovered last week that the number of “official” DICE and EA Battlefield 3 servers on console had dropped significantly in the wake of a new rental scheme, the developer has moved to bring a large number of them back online.
Battlefield 3 community site, Battlefieldo, is reporting that EA is prepping a premium service for Battlefield 3, a service that’ll be unveiled June 4 at E3.
