The negative fan response to Mass Effect 3′s ending was truly a remarkable thing, giving rise to community action of all kinds. Fans wrote alternate endings, made YouTube videos and started comic strips and creative endeavors that have become extremely popular in the wake of the conclusion of BioWare’s flagship series. Now, after the EC DLC, it's time to ask the best known members of the Retake movement for their opinions on Mass Effect and BioWare.
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.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.
SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5
Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
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.
Good.
In what way do you restore trust by fixing a horrible ending to be sub-par? In what way do you restore trust by putting out an unfinished product, and then fixing it 3 months later, when everyone bitched about it like crazy. You think they would have fixed the ending if it were up to them? lol of course not. And guess what, the ending still makes no sense in terms of the things Shepard has accomplished in this trilogy as opposed to the choices he has in the final 10 minutes of the game. Bioware's last 3 products have been rushed and disappointing. My trust with Bioware will never be restored so long as EA is their publisher.
PS. The entire main story arch was weak to begin with, the ending was just a icing on the poop cake that ruined it all. Bioware is dead IMO. EA is at it again with their kill streak of good developers, Well done!
Heh....they're bleeding subscribers from their crap MMO. They intentionally crippled Mass Effect. They destroyed Dragon Age. Bioware has been on a slide for the last 3 years.
How can fans trust them when they are a part of the devil known as EA?
Getting sick of these articles
This series has been going down hill since EA bought Bioware,the first game was great,but the mass market FPS gamers didn't like the combat,customisation or exploration,so to appease them they took these features out,but made the combat better,although to me it was fine before,then with Kasumi and Zaeed they put in auto dialogue which annoyed the hell out of me especially with Kasumi as I wanted to get to know her,then comes the third game which is watered right down,now in side quests you no longer visit planets you just fire a probe at them and hey presto you've just rescued someone,how lazy is that? then you get less dialogue option,loads of auto dialogue,a broken journal tacky sexual come ons and innuendoes' that surprise you and are hard to avoid and the most stupid ending ever even with the extended cut,Bioware must think we are real idiots,the only time they will listen and learn is when it affects them financially so I won't be buying anything more from them and I suggest others follow suit.
