EA going live

http://xbox.ign.com/articles/508/508793p1.html?fromint=1

"Madden NFL 2005, NCAA College Football, NASCAR Thunder 2005, and NBA Live comprise the sports package for Xbox Live this fall. The non-sports games are less concrete, but as IGN has learned from several sources close to the company, Battlefield: Modern Combat, EA's new Goldeneye game, and perhaps Burnout 3 are first in line for Xbox online compatibility."
 
Re: EA going live

EA refused to let any of but especially their sports games go online for the Xbox but had them online for the PS2. It made alot of ppl buy the PS2 versions instead. It's about damned time I say. Now I actually have a reason to resign up for Xbox live. Playing NCAA Football 2005 on XBL will be sweet.

Damn...I never knew that EA wasn't live on Xbox. What was the reason for the delay??
 
Re: EA going live

Control all about control. EA wants to run their own servers and maybe charge a monthly fee per game, as well as not allowing you to play an older version of their sports games online after the newest version comes out. That was a major sticking point with Microsoft but now with "Live Server Protocol" that allows 3rd parties to run their servers off of XBL and that MS caved in and allowed to let EA to do what they want as well as lowering the licensing fees for EA's online capable games Ea joining the XBL fray.

BTW read the article Aaron and you'll see that Battlefield: 1942 is most likely on it's way for XBL.

I hope they clean up Battlefield for xbox, it's an incredible game and concept, but the PC versions are god damn buggy bastards with piss fram rates.


And I don't need no crap saying my "rig" isn't good enough, 90% of people that buy the game will experience the same thing I do.
