Peter Moore on Facebreaker, Madden, and future EA Sports games |
Ó
It appears as if EA Sports will be quite busy in the coming months. The company will not only be working on Facebreaker (PS3, Wii, Xbox 360), but will also be working on a slew of other titles yet to be announced. This is according to what Peter Moore, president of EA Sports, said in a recent interview.Moore offered an interesting analogy: Fight Night is to Muhammad Ali as Facebreaker is to Ready 2 Rumble Boxing. According to Moore, if Fight Night focuses on more authentic boxing, Facebreaker is all about arcade style play.
The EA Sports president was also very proud of that the Madden series has earned the best Metacritic rating for the company in the past three years. Since the 20th anniversary of the series falls on this year, Moore admitted that EA Sports has something special in mind for fans:
You don't let a 20th anniversary go by without doing something special. We'll be making some announcements maybe around the NFL Draft in April about what Madden fans can expect, since we have a huge opportunity to do something special.
So what's in store for the rest of 2008? Apparently, EA Sports has the more casual consumer in mind, as Moore hinted at "licensed intellectual property." The company also aims to do better with the Nintendo Wii as the game mechanics of Nintendo's console are different.

I hope that boxing game isn't going to be stupid...2k is about to take over the boxing genre...Fight Night was fun for a LONG time and still is, but there are definitely ways to win in that game that are pretty cheap...In real life, when a boxer punches someone, and they block it with their arms; you aren't stunned for 3 seconds while the guy who blocked can now parry you and kill you over and over again. That's' not real boxing...
Point taken. As Moore pointed out, though, EA is differentiating the "authentic" boxing game from the arcade style one. :)
