"EA did say that Knights of the Old Republic developer Bioware, Battlefield developer DICE, and Dead Space developer Visceral would all be working on Star Wars games under the agreement."

KOTOR 3? Battlefield/front? Unstoppable wave of horrible movie cash-ins? We will see.

I remember when I played need for speed underground 2... it was the best. Everything EA touches today just ruins it.

EA said that there will be no new SW games until 2014.
IGN wrote:EA has confirmed that none of its Star Wars titles will be released before April 2014.
During a call reporting earnings for the 2013 fiscal year, EA executive chairman Larry Probst (sitting in until EA finds a new CEO) said none of the publisher’s Star Wars games are planned for EA’s 2014 fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014.
Yesterday, EA acquired the exclusive license to Star Wars, announcing titles on the way from Battlefield developer DICE and Dead Space developer Visceral, as well as continued efforts from BioWare, who made Star Wars: The Old Republic.
At the time of the announcement, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau said “the new experiences we create may borrow from films, but the games will be entirely original with all new stories and gameplay” and confirmed that they’ll be powered by "the Frostbite 3 development engine – guaranteeing incredible graphic fidelity, environments and characters."
