that's why all of his best games are multiplatform?

Aphe5032d ago (Edited 5032d ago )

The best game they ever made was Baldur's Gate 2, which they still haven't topped. Much to the dismay of a lot of pc gamers.

EDIT:And I'm not knocking their other games btw, I've loved pretty much everything Bioware has made. But BG2, to me, is the pinnacle of rpg gaming. A truly deep game that can be played in so many different ways, and which I still play on a yearly basis up until this day.

Nothing else they have made has come close.

My PC looks great connected to my 46" HDTV.. So I just might have to try out a couple PC games on it too see how well it works out... I'm a 100% console gamer, but I'll give this a shot... sooner or later since pc gaminig isn't restricted to small computer monitors no more:)

Xfanboy5032d ago

webeblazing5032d ago

But who cares what bioware's Zeschuk thinks? not me anyways. This might be great "news" to some people Im guessin'

Titanz5032d ago

Pc gamers are more willing to "pay & play", than console gamers are.

Forbidden_Darkness5032d ago

Just wait until COD pay for online sunscription comes out and we'll see how many dumb console owners there are. I wont be one of them.

tdrules5032d ago

yeah right.
I've been waiting for Half Life 3 for nearly 6 years

webeblazing5032d ago

yeah that why xbox live is a huge success on pc and still have pay to play like when it first launched

Saryk5032d ago

Oh god, I guess the PC vs Console debate will start again. There are more PC’s out in the market than all consoles combined. However not all of them can play the latest and greatest, like mine, lol. To bad we can’t get one platform that plays all of games, no matter what they are….

Aphe5032d ago

I'd actually prefer it if there never was just one single platform. More choice is better than one choice.

Saryk5032d ago

How do more platforms increase more of a choice? You need to buy all consoles, a PC and all handhelds, that isn’t a choice; you’re made to buy all of these items to play the games you desire.

If there was one platform, then you could play any game you desire. Companies could create games as a bare minimum for a set industry standard of hardware. As of right now companies lose money on the console they produce and hope to make it back through rights and games made. However if there was a way by regulation for consumers to buy one game and it work on all platforms, that could be a solution. But as of right now, you don’t have a real choice.

Aphe5032d ago

I like buying those different systems, those different systems have different games that are solely on that system. If there was just one system it just wouldn't be the same.

Put it this way, I like some of the stuff that KFC sells but I prefer different things that Maccy Ds and BK sells. Actually that's a shit analogy. How about this, if everyone was the same and no one was different, would it be more interesting or pretty boring?

To have the same system would mean everyone had the same thing. I myself find that idea quite repulsive, and competition is good. If there wasn't any competition things would stagnate.

In a perfect world a single system would give you everything you would wish for, but I think it would be a terrible idea. Every system now offers you different experiences, different games. I like that myself and I don't mind buying different systems with my hard earned money, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

A single system would be a bad idea. Generic games get churned out on a large scale now, what would it be like with a single system?

Sod that, I like choice.

Arnon5032d ago

There's over 1 billion PCs worldwide right now. If only 10% of those can play games, that still leaves 100 million PCs in the world right now that can play games. I think that's quite enough for the PC market to continue to thrive.

snaileri5032d ago

the transition from retail to digital and service-based gaming has almost completely happened to PC already, and the transition will start to happen few years from now.

BioWare Could be Working on More than Just Dragon Age Dreadwolf and Mass Effect 4

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

bababooiy24d ago

Bioware today is like 150 poeple i dont see how they are seemingly working on all these projects at the same time.

Michiel198924d ago

Inquisition wasn't broken, it just had some flaws and on the contrary it also had some strengths. If you call inquisition a major screw up then idk what to say.

That said with what happened to the study since then and now, I'm not really confident that their next game will be any good.

just_looken23d ago

If you played it fully to get plat like me back in its novemeber launch window you had that castle with empty area's endgame missions not there or working and a mp that was made around loot box grind like the mass effect mp.

Its hard to explain to those that played it years later after they tossed out the dlc/patch's

Michiel198923d ago

entitled much? I played it at launch too. Why you even platted it if it was a "major screw up"?
It was good enough for you to sink 100 hours in but also a complete fuckup at the same time, make up your mind.
So either you like shitty games or you're just talking out of your ass.

RaidenBlack23d ago

Well just wanna say, Archetype Entertainment is the new BioWare, composed of mainly ex-BioWare vets.
And they're developing Exodus (starring Matthew McConaughey), a new sci-fi RPG (spiritual successor to Mass Effect, dare I say?)

CantThinkOfAUsername24d ago

I hope it's a single player game with Anthem's gameplay mechanics.

Becuzisaid24d ago

They're owned by EA. What makes you think that they wouldn't publish for PS5? Shoot, if your fridge could connect to your bank account EA would try to release it for that if they could!

Double_O_Revan24d ago

How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.

Becuzisaid24d ago

Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.

We really need another solid Mass Effect entry. It's a real shame that such a legendary franchise was left off with such a blemish to its overall astounding track record. Andromeda was just not it, don't know what they were thinking there.

-Foxtrot170d ago

Surprised it got a subtitle

I thought after Andromeda they’d have kept to the numbers so people wouldn’t think “oh another spin off”

Unless Shepard returns

Obscure_Observer169d ago

"Unless Shepard returns"

After ME3, Shepard should f* off

Stanjara169d ago

Put a chick in it and make her gay.

Ethereal169d ago

Yes! One of my all time favorite trilogies. Hopefully they do ME justice. Andromeda was passable and had bones of a good game but just lacked the depth and intrigue that the originals had.
