EA Games president Frank Gibeau revealed many releases that are to come for fiscal 2009. He announced that both Skate and Burnout would see new titles (but it was not said whether they would be side titles like Burnout Legends or big time all console releases. Skate was a big success for EA, outselling Activision's Tony Hawk Proving Grounds (which was like Madden but for skating games before skate came along) for both PS3 and Xbox 360 on its first try. They also announced that they will be making more games for the series Mass Effect (from the recently acquired BioWare). While they will be made by mostly the same people, a lot of people worry that this will be bad for the Mass Effect series because of the way EA likes to annualize titles and rush them out. I guess we'll see in the future what will come of it. Also announced is a new Need for Speed (big surprise), though Gibeau said that the series would be returning to more of the Most Wanted and Underground roots that got the series so popular rather than continuing with the Pro Street theme (thank God).
