Gibeau was asked if , to which he said his company's game will attempt to "lap" Activision's thanks to new services and innovation.

"Look, we are absolutely going for it," Gibeau said. "It's a competition and we feel really good about Battlefield 4, and we have an old saying at EA which is 'transition is our friend', and we're going to try to lap them with new technology, new innovation, and new capabilities. So do I think we're going to do better than last time? Absolutely."

Gibeau said when the original came to market, the Call of Duty series held a 95-5 advantage for market share in the first-person shooter landscape. EA has since "pushed and pulled" to increase its share, Gibeau said.

"Something I learned from the EA Sports business--with regards to FIFA versus Pro Evolution and Madden versus 2K--these fights are good for the industry," he said. "They're good for customers.

Now that the , other franchises will have to step up to fill the void, Gibeau said.

"The shooter rotation we think about now is Battlefield, ], and so we like those three brands going forward," he said. "We're working out how we're going to line that up because that's what you'll see from us. With regards to Medal of Honor, you try things in entertainment and if they don't work you try something else."

GenGAME writes: "During todays Gamescom press conference, Sony demoed PS Vita Remote Play for Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag.

Simple but effective.
