    If anyone wants to talk about the future of EA's shooters, and AAA shooters in general, I think it's kind of interesting speculating just what EA is going to do.

    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.
