EA clarifies recent offline games comment

Peter Moore confirms that not every EA game will require an online connection, says free-to-play not coming to every EA franchise.

 

In a blog post today, Electronic Arts COO Peter Moore clarified comments he made at Gamescom recently about moving away from offline games.

Moore said it is a fact that EA no longer makes "offline" games, but clarified that not every game EA ships will require an Internet connection.

"Many, if not most, of our games include single-player, offline modes that you can play entirely without an Internet connection, if you so choose," Moore said. "We know that’s something many of our players want, and we will continue to deliver it."

Maxis' upcoming The Sims 4 will not require an Internet connection.

Moore also addressed "confusion" regarding EA's plans for free-to-play games going forward. At Gamescom, he suggested that every major EA franchise will have a free-to-play option. Today, he said this is not the case, though the company is evaluating options for the future.

"I also see confusion about our plans for free-to-play games. Many of our most popular franchises for PCs and mobile--including Battlefield, Need for Speed, FIFA, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Plants vs. Zombies, and now Madden NFL, to name a few--already offer free-to-play experiences. Command & Conquer is another exciting new free-to-play game coming online later this year," Moore said. "However, not all of EA's games will offer a free-to-play mode."

"We will continue to explore new free-to-play experiences for our franchises when we believe there is gamer interest and a cool new game we can build," he added. "But of course, we will continue to deliver award-winning core gaming experiences on all of these franchises."

Rockstar says Sony’s GTAV on PS4 tweet was a typo

Publisher says tweet from Sony UK suggesting upcoming open-world game is coming to next-gen system was just a typo.

 

The official Sony UK Twitter account today suggested Grand Theft Auto V is coming to the PlayStation 4, but that is not the case, according to Rockstar Games.

A Rockstar Games spokesperson told GameSpot this afternoon that the tweet was just a typo.

Sony UK's tweet was directed at a fan who was enthusiastic about "GTA 5 MIAMI." The company responded by saying "GTA V is going to be amazing, especially on the PS4!"

The company also retweeted a tweet from the same user regarding a PS4 version of GTAV. Sony has since sent a tweet apologizing for the typo.

"Apologies for the typo about GTA V. It's due for release on PS3 on September 17th," the company said.

GTAV launches on September 17 only for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Sony recently apologized to Rockstar Games over a PS3 pre-load leak of the game in Europe.
