BioWare co-founder “can understand completely” why fans were disappointed with Mass Effect 3′s ending
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.
Still sounds like they didn't get it. Too much evidence that they were lazy with the game. Put too much emphasis on getting it out at a certain time rather then doing it right. Which means that the mistakes made with this game and others will only happen again.
It's a bit late for them to admit it.
He must have been drunk when they asked him. Since he finally admitted it.
It's not only the ending that screwed up Mass Effect 2&3.
RAGE TIME !
It's not "solve every scenario" !
It's not "we can’t get the choice they want because we're so intimate [with ME3]"
It's because the entire ending of the game after the point you get hit with the beam seems to ABSOLUTELY IMPLY that Shepard has been INDOCTRINATED and yet the game and Bioware have played it straight saying "this is the end, there's no more" again and again. The entire trilogy revolved around the Reapers and the menace of Sovereign and then Harbinger FFS Harbinger was the main antagonist of Mass Effect 2 !!!
He doens't do anything in Mass Effect 3 besides hit Sheapard with a beam that completely implies all the efforts of foreshadowing about indoctrination ! He "ASSUMED DIRECT CONTROL" etc ---- but no, Bioware has to keep saying that fans didn't get to have their particular choice. Bioware is kicking every single Mass Effect fan in the balls. Anybody who took time to enjoy the story knows that
being indoctrinated was the big evil thing and that Harbinger wanted to indoctrinate Shepard the most of all ! Why whould Shepard keep having these dreams with indoctrination oily visuals and sound effects. Why would the ending have this in it and be a total "Red Herring" of the most epic order ?!
Bioware these stupid comments make me rage again years later !!!!
