Peter Moore talks about EA, waxes poetic

by Kevin Kelly on Oct 16th 2007 3:25PM

Gametrailers has a pair of video interviews with Peter Moore in his new role as head of EA Sports. Watching these vids remind of exactly why we're going to miss him so much at Microsoft. However, it also gives us hope that EA will stop doing things like releasing mega-buggy versions of Madden upon unsuspecting masses. Or somewhat suspecting masses, at this point.

Anyhow, check out both parts of the video after the jump. It's worth it just for the eye-rolling from Moore when the interviewer calls him a "hero" to all the young gamers out there. He has a great view of the console war from both the publisher and manufacturer sides of the table, and near the end of part two, he talks about what's in store for the future at EA Sports. Namely, looking beyond only the North American market ... so expect more FIFA to come down the pipeline. And hopefully Scottish Caber Toss Challenge '09.

How bout I wax on about my red ringed 360, and having not being able to play my xbla games offline on the new one peter moore you grubby little wanker. Your were the chief of idiotville when they were making defective rubbish, now apologize you load of wank. Dont you EA tossers screw up my bioware games!

You know you can call Microsoft and get points so that you can buy your arcade games again.

No offense, but that's a seriously devilish look he has.

Evil has a face. And that face is......kinda friendly and warm really. Err I mean....

GIVE BACK BIOWEAR YOU BASTARD!

i was just about to comment that.
He really looks evil, but not the "i'm going to kill you " evil, but more of a "I'm devious" evil.

I hope you guys realize that Microsoft has secrectly partnered with EA.

Which is why Peter Moore has jump shifted so easily over to EA along with oter close 1st party development teams from 360.

You're looking at the new EA/Microsoft.

It's happened in the past, Sony and Sega of America partnered in the early 90s on games.

Square and Sony did it in the late 90s.

Good. Then let two American companies do the same as the Japanese.

That's not true though. None of it...

Uh, what? He jumpped so easy because EA offered a lot of money. Are you trying to hint that you think EA is going to be more exclusive to the 360 - cause that just wont happen.

World Domination doesn't come all at once you know.

I'm just really hoping EA doesn't ruin Bioware, it's not like EA sports has done anything new in the last 10 years anyway.

haha he has braces

I was going to say the same thing about your mom....
but then i was screaming in pain from the pain.

"screaming in pain from the pain"? lol

Gametrailers is usually really good... what's with the garbage guitar music in the background? why is this necessary?

I seriously hate that phrase: wax poetic. To people that use it and think they're smart for doing so: Congratulations, you are a douchebag.

Pretty sad playing The Simpsons demo and seeing EA plastered all over everything.

Egad. Didn't anyone tell him that the "take a gander at the underside of my balls" pose is a big no-no in a PR photo? Put the leg down, Pete. Christ.

If Peter Moore really wants to do something to grow EA Sports as a brand, he needs to go pistol whip the teams doing games for the Wii. The Madden 08 and FIFA 08 releases for the Wii have been buggy, shovelware nightmares that not only won't attract casual gamers, they piss off the people who are/were fans of the franchises.

What more can you expect out of the title? You think you're going to be leaps and bounds better than what is basically a PS2 game with motion controls? I mean the only thing great about the game is playing on offense, and that's just real talk. Beyond that it just is what it is and I can't really see the Wii Version being vastly improved. And yes I have a Wii.

He's going to have to work awful hard before I ever buy an EA game again.

Interesting, when he commented about core/hardcore gamers being miffed at the refocus on casual gaming, none of the example "hardcore" games he mentioned were from EA! What about Army of Two, Battlefield: Bad Company, etc?

He's usually pretty slick at staying on message, he probably had a flashback to his MicroSoft days.
