Weekend Confirmed 108 - Resident Evil 6, Lost Planet 3, Fez, Super T.I.M.E. Force
by Garnett Lee, Apr 13, 2012 11:00am PDTAndrea, the two Jeff's, and Garnett waste no time getting right to all the new info on Resident Evil 6, Lost Planet 3, and Devil May Cry coming out of Capcom's recent press event. They also have a few quick updates from a similar event held by Namco that unveiled a PC version of Dark Souls and provided an update on the status of a western release for Ni No Kuni. We also get a first look at FEZ and Andrea shares some of what she saw at PAX East, including the awesome-sounding indie, Super T.I.M.E. Force. There's much more along the way as well before putting the Finishing Moves on this episode.

On the show they say that Crysis 3 might be saturating things a bit, but remember that EA doesn't actually own Crysis. It's still totally under CryTek's control through EA Parnters. In way it doesn't REALLY factor into shooter plan.
As for Battlefield, I don' think we're gonna have a Battlefield 4 this gen. I still feel like it's mainly a PC franchise that operates under the rules of the longer tail that PC games usually follow. There was a five-year gap between BF2 and BF3, and people still play BF2. Maybe we might see another spinoff game or something, like BF1944, 2143 (which apparently a lot of people are asking for), or Bad Company 3, but new main BF games seem to be treated like a once-in-a-generation event.
...and we still don't know what Respawn is doing.

The only issue I take is the 'CODification' of Crysis.
On one hand, yes, Crysis 2 was certainly influenced by the success of COD. The thing is, in the case of Crysis 2, it actually made for a better game. It focused the sandbox of the original game into a campaign with a real sense of forward momentum, instead of the meandering and ultimately underwhelming campaign in the original.
