Xbox 2 Preview Coming - Madden 2006
EA (Electronic Arts) will offer game enthusiasts a glimpse of what it has in store for its next generation console games on a "to be played only once" commercial this Saturday. The commercial is set to air during the first hour of the NFL draft on Saturday, April 23rd and will contain "photo realistic graphics and heart pounding football intensity". During this commercial EA will show the first live video for Madden 2006. EA has indicated that Madden 2006 is being developed for all next generation consoles but will most likely make it's debut on Xbox 2 (Xbox 360) before January 1, 2006 rolls around.
Will you be impressed? EA seems to think so. They are advising viewers to set their VCR's or other recording units "because you may not believe what you are going to see". I'm sure it will be impressive but think EA may have slightly underestimated the gaming communities' expectation for the next generation consoles like the Xbox 2. The expectation is that the next generation consoles, such as the Xbox, will revolutionize console gaming and bring an unprecedented level of realism to every game title developed for each system. In other words if what EA demos on Saturday isn't by far the most impressive looking game we've ever seen in our entire lives the gaming community will be disappointed.
Expectations are high EA, don't forget that.
On a side note, I'm sure the footage of the commercial will be available online about 3 seconds after the commercial is over. I wouldn't worry if you can't catch it on television.
