We can't quite believe it's already been more than a month since E3 2021; how time flies. We remember wasting our time watching Randy Pitchford awkwardly converse with Kevin Hart like it was yesterday. Regardless, EA still wanted to get in on the digital fun but decided to host its own showcase in late July instead of including itself in the usual hustle and bustle of June. As such, we've been treated to a nice list of reveals on what is usually a run-of-the-mill Thursday.
The biggest announcement of the online show was, of course, the return of Dead Space. It's a complete remake of the original game. That reveal was then complemented by more Battlefield 2042 news and gameplay, another look at FIFA 22, and a GRID Legends reveal. BioWare, with Dragon Age 4 and a new Mass Effect game currently in development, was nowhere to be seen.
Fairly standard stuff from EA then outside of its decision to bring back one of the survival horror genre's best series, but what did you make of it all? Would you recommend your friends give it a look or should they just catch the Dead Space trailer on YouTube and move on? Place your vote in our poll and expand on your thoughts in the comments below.

They teased Dead Space, that alone made it pretty great for me.
Very good just for Dead Space. Haha
I thought it was watchable. Dead Space remake and that Lost in Random game were the only things that caught my attention.
Dead space = take my money. The original game (and the second) were two of the finest games on ps3. I hope its not just a straight up remake though
Pretty decent actually. Dead Space reveal + new stuff coming to Apex.
And they tempered expectations so kudos to EA!
Dead Space. 11/10. Would watch again
I went in expecting Dead Space to obviously be the main attraction so they delivered there can't wait to see it in action. I also thought BF had a good showing even though I'm not too big on BF. Plus that Lost in Random game looked pretty charming so yeah I'd say I liked it overall.
Welcome back Dead Space!
I think they went about it in a better way this year. They got most of the sports stuff out of the way with those other shows over the last couple weeks, there weren't any corporate talking heads like Andrew Wilson, and the new stuff they did have to show, like Dead Space and Battlefield Portal look fantastic
@RBMango Lost in Random does look really good. EA have been on roll when it comes to helping and funding these amazing look indies over the last couple of year... It Take Two, A Away Out, both Unravel and Unravel 2. Still have to try Knockout City
I think it was good, yeah. They didn't have too much to say, but also showed enough to make it worthwhile.
Pretty happy with it.
I didn't even know this was happening.
Grid Legends looks great, the rest is totally not for me but there seems to be a lot of excitement for Dead Space and the Battlefield stuff which is cool. I'd say it was OK overall even if I personally only got one thi g from it!
I don't care a bit about Dead Space, but it's just amazing to see EA on track to start bringing back their core single player IPs. I never thought I'd live to see the day!
Dead space trailer had no gameplay so hard to rate the show based on that alone, but it was definitely better than most of the rubbish at E3
Battlefield Portal, anyone? 20 years of a franchise in one game.😯
I'm just tired of companies hiring over enthusiastic hosts, and talking to developers - many of who that don't look comfortable in front of a camera. I much prefer the State of Play approach of these streams.
I cared about nothing that EA announced or showed except for the Dead Space remake. However, that alone is enough for me to rate it as very good!
I wish Dead Space wasn't leaked. I would've been so hyped up for that
It honestly wasn't bad, especially for EA. Lost in Random looks awesome, and I'm happy Dead Space is getting some love, even though I'd have preferred a sequel.
Thought it was very mediocre.
Xavier Woods carried the show, great hosting future for him post wrestling
Good show but was hoping for a sequel to Arctic Fox, a modern reimagining of Hard Hat Mack and the next game in the One on One series as it's been awhile since the last one.
Dead Space and lost in Random where the best.
Jeez, you people are easily amused. "dEaD sPaCe Is aLL i WaNtEd".
I didn't think Dead Space had THIS many fans. I guess it's a good time for them to bring it back.
As for me, nothing much of interest. The battlefield trailer looks like they're going for goofy which I'm not sure how I feel about it.
I had low expectations so came away pleased, not great but definitely good IMO.
TBH I didn't watch it. EA make very little I'd get excited about.
@Flaming_Kaiser @ThroughTheIris56 @Floki @Korgon @RBMango Same here guys! So happy Lost in Random is only $30 USD and releasing on September 10th.
As for Dead Space Remake, hopefully it's truly still faithful to the original...
they introduced dead space, so its a win for me
@KidBoruto Oooh, didn't notice the price. That seems like a really good deal.
@KidBoruto I hate EA but their special little titles are great i also loved the smaller Ubisoft games the rest not so much.
@orson If Sony rereleases Legend of Dragoon i will be over the moon.
@ThroughTheIris56 It's a smaller game so hence the $30 price, but should be worth it.
@Flaming_Kaiser Oh yeah, forgot Ubisoft has their own smaller games line.
Host was complete cringe, exceptionally forced and just not funny at all. Wasn't surprised to find out he was a 'wrestler' with the acting he put on display.
@KidBoruto Still loved their physical release of a downloadcode man i hate those such a waste.
I found it to be pretty bad. EA has killed of all the games I like anyway. Hopefully the Dead Space remake leafs to an entirely new game in the series.
