So far they have shown more Dragon Age inquisition footage.

The Mass Effect people are doing some stuff, Bioware also have a new engine/IP in the works.

The Sims are back. The ability to create sims with a given personality is apparently the way forward, still a better thing than that kinect "milo" stuff a few years back.
Sims seems to have gone player sourced/little big planet style.
2nd of September 2014 it should be available.

PGA Tour apparently uses Frostbite 3, no load times and "fully rendered environments" are set to appear. Golf was not something I had pegged as the next big open world fad, guess I was wrong.

EA sports UFC.
Bruce Lee has a cameo. Probably going to be slightly less awkward than Game of Death but not everybody agrees.

New NHL game, apparently everything is to change now it is on the PSBone. For a sports game that is a bold claim. Still you will be able to find out for yourself at some point in the not too distant future as NHL15 is to be a thing.

Criterion games apparently do flight games now. Specifically helicopters in the footage shown, though quad bikes, boats, parachutes, jetskis, wakeboards and the like are also in. "Extreme" the game then. First person too.

PGA tour has open world golf in the frostbite 3 engine.

Madden has something too. This year it is apparently the "defensive game" (they did not say that but that is the gist). Player emotions as well. Madden 15 is set for the 26th of August.

MOBA by EA called Dawngate. Player/community designed which, given the MOBA community, is not a selling point for me. It might be for others.

Mirrors Edge 2 is back after the teaser last year. Seems to mostly be concept art/behind the scenes though.

FIFA15 "lets you feel the emotion of football like never before". Feel the game, ball physics. take the ball, take the man, take their place as legends.

Battlefield hardline. EA want some of that Payback money? Still it has some serious potential as a multiplayer and you kind of have to admire the desire to mix it up a tiny bit. PS4 and PC beta signup today.

They should have changed the title to EA E3 2014 PROTOTYPE Conference.

Someone in some random chat window beside I stream I was looking at pondered whether EA should make their sports division its own show. Had they done that then it definitely would have been.

I stopped watching after some guys circlejerking over fighting Bruce Lee. But I honestly don't know whom I find more disturbing: the 'manly' boys who get homoerotic images of two men fighting it out in the most intimate details...or that woman using her toyboy a puppet to create a lackluster series of plot twists that she controls and then has him killed off.
For anything else...I think entire divisions didn't actually wanted to create a E3 show but had it forced upon them, so they just shot some footage of the work floor and showed some concept art. While it beats pumping way too much work into a demo (we all played games where some levels where just showcases for visuals), I don't think it's a good idea to oblige them to show something when it's not ready.
