GB: "It does seem that with BioWare being in the spot that they are, where their last two major releases haven’t exactly lived up to expectations, perhaps a big shift in direction is just what the doctor ordered to inject themselves with a new surge of energy and start to turn the page just in time for the new decade. It’s tough to say at this point, but with the Jade Empire trademark being suspended as of April of last year, I wouldn’t suggest anybody start holding their breath for anything major for this game just yet."
With the PS5 offering Demon's Souls, here's some dormant franchises that should be brought back for the Xbox Series X|S.
Player 2's Matt Hewson looks at five games from his past that seem to have been forgotten by the masses and perhaps deserve a second look.
Twinfinite Writes: RPGs are notorious for being epic time-consuming games, but there are still a few shorter experiences that you can knock off in a weekend.
FF4 will always be my quick play old school JRPG. Beat it at Funcoland in one shift when no customers came in because of snow.
A lot of great games in that list. It's proof that not every game needs to be a slog to be fun. A few of my favourite games can be completed in a day or two.
I like long games, but of late, I have tried to avoid a lot of games that will take really long to complete 100%. 40 hours is usually the point where my interest in a game is starting to fade. If I am still really enjoying a game after 40 hours, then it will likely be one of my favourite games.
It is hard to find the time as well for the longer RPGs which are my favorite genre to play.
You forgot the quintessential short RPG: Chrono Trigger. You can beat it in like 10 to 15 hours
Well it its an RPG, I do not expect to beat it in a day, that is not what they were originally intended for. Why expect otherwise. If you do not like a game that takes time to complete, then go play sonic the hedgehog or tetris as those can be beaten quick.
I always thought RPG's should be 25-30 hours if you run through it and don't experience the story or the fun of traversing that world. They are suppose to be lengthy games.
It's dead, just like BioWare. Dead.
You should be asking where their talent went first
Spoilers most of them left the company already
They've addressed this before, Microsoft owns the IP and its upto them but its better to leave it then make a sequel. The OGs have a new studio and are working on a Sci-Fi game for next gen
They're to busy trying to keep Anthem alive and I doubt EA will fire up an old ip. And on top of that if they did make the game it will probably be as bad as ME Andromeda since most of the talent is gone now leave it to EA to wreck a good company.
The first question is Where is Bioware?
