Microsoft announced back at E3 that Mass Effect 3 would have support for voice recognition via the Kinect. At CES, Microsoft joined with BioWare in demoing the software for journalists, and allowed them to try it out for themselves. IndustryGamers jumped at the chance, and after an arduous voyage through the desert (OK, so maybe the ten minute limo ride wasn't really that arduous) the secret demo chamber appeared (cleverly hidden within the Presidential Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel). After a brief intro by the product team, it was time to go hands-on with the software.
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.
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
During a part of his interview with Minnmax, Mac Walters gave details of why he chose to leave BioWare.
i just cant help but think back to SOCOM on PS2 that had the headset with voice commands. I used that thing for the first few hours and then promptly chucked it aside and continued with my controller. Great for those with Kinect but i hardly see this adding anything significant to the game just like that SOCOM headset back in the day.
Sweet looking forward to it.
