GI - "When BioWare was purchased by Electronic Arts in 2007, many wondered what would happen to the popular Mass Effect and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series. I’ve been a huge fan of the developer since playing KOTOR, and I was confident that BioWare’s juggernaut franchises would be handled well."
With the PS5 offering Demon's Souls, here's some dormant franchises that should be brought back for the Xbox Series X|S.
GB: "It does seem that with BioWare being in the spot that they are, where their last two major releases haven’t exactly lived up to expectations, perhaps a big shift in direction is just what the doctor ordered to inject themselves with a new surge of energy and start to turn the page just in time for the new decade. It’s tough to say at this point, but with the Jade Empire trademark being suspended as of April of last year, I wouldn’t suggest anybody start holding their breath for anything major for this game just yet."
You should be asking where their talent went first
Spoilers most of them left the company already
They've addressed this before, Microsoft owns the IP and its upto them but its better to leave it then make a sequel. The OGs have a new studio and are working on a Sci-Fi game for next gen
They're to busy trying to keep Anthem alive and I doubt EA will fire up an old ip. And on top of that if they did make the game it will probably be as bad as ME Andromeda since most of the talent is gone now leave it to EA to wreck a good company.
ME Andromeda was disappointing, but it was still a pretty good game, IMO. I would rather get another Jade Empire, even if it's only that good, rather than not get another one at all.
Player 2's Matt Hewson looks at five games from his past that seem to have been forgotten by the masses and perhaps deserve a second look.
Probably not high profile enough for EA, I would love to see a new Jade Empire game.
I really liked Jade Empire but regarding a sequel - does anyone know if they original sold well? I seem to remember it getting great reviews but sequels always depend on sales.
I still have my Xbox special edition case. I also have it on steam.
A console generation where storytelling was top notch and the games were great, and priced well lol. We have drifted so far.
Everyone has been screaming for this for a while but under EA's wing I don't see it happening, although maybe with Mirror's Edge 2 there is hope.
