Pixels or Death's Chris Leddy previews both Guild Wars 2 and Star Wars: The Old Republic at Eurogamer to try and figure out which game as the "edge" in the battle of the upcoming MMOs:
"One of the foremost innovation is dodging. Real, honest-to-goodness dodging. Especially in the MMO genre, this is a fantastic control feature. You can literally dart out of the way of attacks, something that any hack and slash fan will appreciate. Fans of World of Warcraft might find their heads exploding....
The game’s major selling points are story, lore and character development. I can assure you straight off the bat, there’s plenty of them, even within the first 10 minutes. I was amazed by the amount of narrative depth."
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
How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.
Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.
Wccftech talked to Guild Wars 2 Game Director Josh Davis about the learnings from the Secrets of the Obscure expansion and what's coming to the MMORPG.
During a part of his interview with Minnmax, Mac Walters gave details of why he chose to leave BioWare.
one is f2p the other is p2p i wonder wich one will win? /s
