Like Netflix and Playstation Now, Electronic Arts just announced the beta launch of EA Access, an “all you can play” subscription service for $5 per month or $30 per year, for Microsoft ‘s Xbox One.

The service will give gamers access to last year’s top games, including Battlefield 4 , FIFA 14 , Madden NFL 25 , and Peggle 2 , along with 10% discounts on EA games, DLC, and in-game currency. EA Access pass holders also get early access trials to EA sports games and Dragon Age: Inquisition up to five days before the retail release. Saved files from the early access trials will carry over to the full retail versions.

EA Access passes will be sold on Xbox Live, in GameStop stores, EB Games in Canada, and online for European gamers via GameStop and Amazon.

During a call with Electronic Arts investors, EA CEO Andrew Wilson mentioned that Final Stand is now delayed and “coming Q3.” The company’s fiscal Q3, to which he was referring, runs from October 1 and December 31, 2014.

Visceral Games has said that Hardline’s delay turns out to be the right choice as it will allow them additional time to work on results that may have surfaced during the playable beta released last month. “It was not our original intention at that time but it’s been actually a blessing [...] Over time, games are living longer and longer and becoming bigger and bigger, and you only get one chance to come out.“. Feedback from the beta required the team go back and rework significant parts of the game. “This work is really iterative,” he said. “You think you’re making one t...

DICE continues to implement changes to the Battlefield 4 Community Test Environment (CTE) in an effort to test potential improvements to the game. The most recent wave of changes offer some improvements that are sure to please a number of players should they make it to the official game build.

With this, the revive icon is changed to include a progress circle (much like what you get when arming/disarming an MCOM. This progress meter indicates to you how much time is left before the player becomes unrevivable. This would allow a medic to know if they have enough time to charge the paddles, as well as prioritize numerous downed allies. This will be a very welcome improvement to the game.

The CTE is also tes...
