"I can say unequivocally and without any hesitance or potential reconsideration that I have absolutely no intention of buying Mass Effect 4. The reasons for this are many, so I will list only the three most predominant ones. In essence, though, it all goes back to the core foundations on which the series was built, and the promises and reasonable assumptions on which I and so many others developed an attachment to it." thumbACTIVE
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.

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!"

Jesus christ.
There are no details known and there is complain article already.
I have my doubds but i always wait for more information before making ridiculous conclusions.
Yes, yes. We're approving baww-articles nowadays? Although, come to think of it, it's always been done on N4G.
I still laugh at these people as I always wait for some proper gameplay footage, info and so on to determine whether the game is worth buying or not.
I, personally, loved Mass Effect 3 despite its disappointing ending.
Good everyone should stop buying Bioware games until they can learn that breaking promises and doing everything opposite of what fans want won't make them a good game. DA2 was a rushed mess that was absolutely nothing like DA2, ME2 while good in the story department it was a huge step away from the RPG that everyone fell in love with, ME3 is just a pure 3rd person shooter with a terrible story that dose not count any choices that you made (like promised) a horrible ending with an alternate ending which was still bad and the gameplay was just clunky compared to ME2. They added in multiplayer which wasn't needed and clearly took away from the single player experience. DA3 is already starting to go the path of ME3, they already confirmed a once again unneeded and unwanted multiplayer, No race choices which is what made the experience of DAO so unique, and a promise to make it bigger than DAO and 2 combined (but knowing bioware is notorious for breaking promises we shouldn't hold our breath) and they will most likely make the combat like 2 (which was bad enough to start) or worse.
The founders quit, the best writers they had quit, a lot of the original development staff quit...all that bioware has now are the goonies that ruined DA2 and ME3 that are trained by EA to only care about money and not the fans.
All aboard the Bioware hate train. No charge for mindless sheep that don't think for themselves. First stop, EA is evil headquarters, second stop Bioware has no soul building. Come on now, all the sheep aboard.
Obviously this is sarcasm at the expense of people that hate on a company or game developer simply because it is cool to do. Then when another game developer does the same thing they pretend it is okay because that company is cool. Think for yourself people. If something is bad than judge it as so because you think it is bad, not because everyone else in the group hates it.
> Makes 3 great games
> One of them had a disappointing ending
> BIOWARE IS SO BAD I WILL NEVAR BUY ANOTHER GAME FROM THEM
Cool logic, bro.
Personally, I will buy ME4 as long as it looks to be worth buying. You know, like a normal unspoiled gamer that enjoys playing games more than threatening the games' developers that I won't be buying the sequel because I didn't like a certain aspect of one of the prequels.
