I actually know where Corey was. He asked me to keep it schtum, but I can't because it's very exciting.
Corey Trese has been in talks with EA about bringing all their games to consoles and phones as monetized experiences.
The way I understand it, is that every time you land on a planet in Star Traders (No, not Tsar Traders, autocorrect - that's a totally different game) you will have to select an option, such as visit the spice hall, which will take an arbitrary amount of time to complete. You can hurry this timer with Tesla Whetted Autonomous Time Skirmish (or T.W.A.T.S.), which is available as a repeat consumable IAP. We are assured you can grind it in-game, after EA stated 'You canz havez tha HOLE GAYM 4 FREEZ!', as you generate one portion of T.W.A.T.S for every place you visit. It costs 1,000 T.W.A.T.S to hurry each time however. If purchased, they are available in bundles of 1,000,000 at £32.99.
I understand that travelling to other planets takes place in accelerated real time, with the generous EA directors reducing light years to merely years.
Again, T.W.A.T.S can help you here.
In Cyber Knights 2, 'Bravestarr (c) and the Speed of the Puma' (spot the tie-in), players will have to pay real cash to upgrade their Knnnnig-ht when resting at hotels. Each hotel will be sponsored by a real-world location in Boston, and you can stay their FREEZ if you answer a short survey that loads in your browser when you click 'rest'. Stay in a hotel a hundred times and leave a survey each time with an overall rating of 9.5 stars or more, and you get five dollars off a real world visit to that location.
Players in Europe have €1 reduced from their next level-up.
As for Templar Assault - The Return of King Richard, a prequel set hundreds of years previous, you will meet Aliens in the medieval castles of England, where you will resolve your differences through colourful games of match-3. This game has been given a preliminary rating of R. For Retarded.
No news yet on Age of Pirates of the Romanticised Carribean; all we know is that Orlando Bloom is on board, and that makes everything better. He plays a character doomed to self-belief of being Errol Flynn incarnate, despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Superheroes of Steel, having being recently sold to Marvel, is yet to be formally announced.
