BioWare on Jade Empire Comeback

Eurogamer: Jade Empire may return - BioWare is "just looking for the right way to deploy it".

That's what BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk told a packed audience at the Eurogaer Expo 2011 today.

Don't tease Bioware. That was one of the original Xbox's finest games. Completely underrated imo.

NukaCola4591d ago

Agreed, it's like the original Xbox's Heavenly Sword...I LOVED IT!

dont you pull our legs there Bioware!

Bigpappy4591d ago (Edited 4591d ago )

No sir. Nothing like HS. HS was a short action game. JE was an action RPG of credible size, great charaters and story. It was the first of BW's RPG's where the playable characters interact heavily with each other. There was a lot of chatter between them and misplaced trust and mistrust.

I have no idea why this game will make you thing of Heavely Sword.

@zeal0us: With EA now owning Bioware, you will not be seeing any 360 exclusives from them as long as that contract remain intact.

NukaCola4591d ago

I meant in it's like that rare treasure that came out for the system, but never had a sequel. Something that many fans have always wanted another one, but never got it. A gem if you will.

NewMonday4590d ago

It's available on Xbox Live for whoever missed it

despair4590d ago

didn't it get like near perfect scores from reviewers? Not exactly underrated. I bought an Xbox for Jade Empire and beat it 7 times, its one of my all time favorites and a second one would really be amazing.

yesmynameissumo4590d ago

Shame the review scores didn't equal commercial success. That's why I say underrated, cause it was. Glad you liked it as much as I and yes, a second one would definitely be amazing!

zeal0us4591d ago

So would it be 360 exclusive or will they pull a ME2 on us?

sarshelyam4590d ago

If they were smart, they'd make it available to as many whom would want it.

ReservoirDog3164590d ago (Edited 4590d ago )

Probably pull a ME2. Or more accurately, ME3 since it'll probably come out on the same day for all consoles.

And, missed out on jade empire. Always wanted to get it since I loved KOTOR but it just never happened. I'm sure a comeback would be really good though.

OllieBoy4591d ago

One of my favorite Xbox exclusives. Played through twice, once evil and good.

Very underrated and under-appreciated.

Jasko454590d ago

Just got Jade Empire on Steam the other day.

thebudgetgamer4591d ago

an hd re-mastering would be nice in the meantime.

Jack_DangerousIy4590d ago

You've got to get that "Shift" key fixed bro!!

:)

can't wait for whatever they have up their sleeve

BioWare Could be Working on More than Just Dragon Age Dreadwolf and Mass Effect 4

Earlier this year, BioWare was hit with layoffs as part of a downsizing of parent company Electronic Arts, but fans have been reassured that the next Mass Effect game hasn’t been impacted. Likewise, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s development is still churning along, with BioWare putting it at the forefront of its focus and rumors suggesting that it could launch sometime later this year. Fans might be getting another look at the long-in-development Dragon Age: Dreadwolf at the Summer Game Fest in June.

If the recently posted job offering for a temporary development manager is any indication, BioWare could have yet another surprise up its sleeve for when Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are nearing completion. This mystery BioWare video game could truly be anything, from another spin-off of its two major properties to something entirely new. All there is to go on at the moment is a vague mention in the job posting, and it might still be some time before BioWare is ready to confirm any new games in its pipeline.

So a studio that spent years on anthem then this dragon age thing is now also working on another ip along with mass effect,

You think they would be worried that there brand has been on 3 major screw ups

Dragon age 3 launched broken with the frostbite engine yes its a good game but you can see in the late game how rough it was

anthem......

Mass effect 4 well that dev team was fired so yeah.....

They should make sure this new dragon age is a goat instead of putting more work on the table

bababooiy17d ago

Bioware today is like 150 poeple i dont see how they are seemingly working on all these projects at the same time.

Michiel198917d ago

Inquisition wasn't broken, it just had some flaws and on the contrary it also had some strengths. If you call inquisition a major screw up then idk what to say.

That said with what happened to the study since then and now, I'm not really confident that their next game will be any good.

just_looken17d ago

If you played it fully to get plat like me back in its novemeber launch window you had that castle with empty area's endgame missions not there or working and a mp that was made around loot box grind like the mass effect mp.

Its hard to explain to those that played it years later after they tossed out the dlc/patch's

Michiel198917d ago

entitled much? I played it at launch too. Why you even platted it if it was a "major screw up"?
It was good enough for you to sink 100 hours in but also a complete fuckup at the same time, make up your mind.
So either you like shitty games or you're just talking out of your ass.

RaidenBlack17d ago

Well just wanna say, Archetype Entertainment is the new BioWare, composed of mainly ex-BioWare vets.
And they're developing Exodus (starring Matthew McConaughey), a new sci-fi RPG (spiritual successor to Mass Effect, dare I say?)

CantThinkOfAUsername17d ago

I hope it's a single player game with Anthem's gameplay mechanics.

Becuzisaid17d ago

They're owned by EA. What makes you think that they wouldn't publish for PS5? Shoot, if your fridge could connect to your bank account EA would try to release it for that if they could!

Double_O_Revan17d ago

How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.

Becuzisaid17d ago

Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.

New Mass Effect Game Teased for N7 Day, and It Shows a Mysterious Individual

Today is known as Mass Effect N7 Day, and BioWare has released what looks to be teasers for the new Mass Effect game.

Snookies12164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

We really need another solid Mass Effect entry. It's a real shame that such a legendary franchise was left off with such a blemish to its overall astounding track record. Andromeda was just not it, don't know what they were thinking there.

-Foxtrot164d ago

Surprised it got a subtitle

I thought after Andromeda they’d have kept to the numbers so people wouldn’t think “oh another spin off”

Unless Shepard returns

Obscure_Observer163d ago

"Unless Shepard returns"

After ME3, Shepard should f* off

Stanjara162d ago

Put a chick in it and make her gay.

Ethereal162d ago

Yes! One of my all time favorite trilogies. Hopefully they do ME justice. Andromeda was passable and had bones of a good game but just lacked the depth and intrigue that the originals had.
