EA Sports Titles with Bundled Peripherals Coming

Speaking at the Paris GDC, EA producer David McCarthy revealed that the company plans to integrate bundled peripherals into select EA Sports titles. He disclosed that these peripherals would be incorporated in a fashion similar to the immensely popular Rock Band.

“I think you’ll see games using that Rock Band peripheral strategy from EA Sports, even within the next 12 months,” he stated at his lecture.

Though he didn’t specify what sort of peripherals we would see, he did note the risk associated with it. “[You] have to be careful with it, because RockBand, that’s a great peripheral, but it’s a big expensive box.”

Maybe we will get to see something of this sort at next month’s E3. Let’s wait and see.
