EA confident that Battlefield 3 is better than Call of Duty
DICE's shooter hype growing
EA Games boss Frank Gibeau has been throwing more fuel on the Battlefield 3 hype fire saying that DICE's next shooter is just plain superior to Activision's behemoth series.
His words come on the back of his announcement that Battlefield 3 has improved it's preorder count over Bad Company 2 by somewhere in the region of 700 percent.
Gibeau explained: "Pre-orders tell a compelling story," EA Games Label president Frank Gibeau told investors. "Pre-orders for Battlefield 3 are up more than 700 per cent versus the same period before the launch of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. A lot of people are telling us they want to play this game on day one."
He continued: "We know we had a big competitor, but head-to-head with Call of Duty in Q3, we have the superior game engine, superior development studio and a flat out superior game. Our goal is to significantly gain share in the huge FPS category and to put the other team on defence."
Thanks MCV.
