Guess what's coming out just in time for Christmas....
|
| The EA Excalibur!! |
Tired of being rejected by Take Two Interactive, EA Games has decided to take their piles of cash and make their
own system . An EA sales rep had this to say:
"Fuck you guys."
Well, the big question is, How does it control? Not to be outdone by Nintendo's Wii, the PS3's Six-Axis controls, and
the X Box 360's upcoming motion controls (real original Sony and Microsoft, by the way), EA has come up with a new way to
immerse the player in the gaming experience like never before!
|
| This glove is worn on the left hand and tracks all movements |
|
| The simple, easy-to-use remote is held in the right hand |
|
| You also get motion sensing shoes because... |
|
| ...The system comes with an electronic motion sensing grid the size of a football field |
|
| Since the TV will be so god damn far away, this motion sensing headgear also has a zoom lens |
Imagine playing Madden on this thing! You get to actually run around on a hundred yard machine and make football motions,
only you can see your character doing it on a TV screen!!! Amazing. They've already announced the launch games, too: a wave
of sports games at first, and based on the success of the games, maybe sequels next year. Think about that: Madden NFL '09.
Can you imagine such a world? As of now, there are no screenshots, but there are pictures of how the games will be played.
Here's a little sample:
| Skate Ex |
|
| You'll have to grind actual rails to make it happen in the game |
Skate Ex will come with a peripheral called the EA Skatenheimer. It's a plastic skateboard that weighs 20 pounds and
has triangular wheels.
| Burnout: Messiah |
|
| Crash Mode is back and better than ever! |
Burnout: Messiah comes with a car-like device called the EcAr. Like the Skatenheimer, it is also made of plastic, weighs
20 pounds, and has triangular wheels.
For the price of the complete 360, PS3, and Wii combined, you can pre-register to reserve a chance to make a payment
plan for the Excalibur. It promises to be a video game system.
