theBitFix writes: "Videogames have recently entered the era of controversy, and more specifically with Mass Effect 3, gamer entitlement. There have been articles dissecting every aspect of this, so there’s no point in going back over any of that. But someone needs to explain how incredibly disgusting this whole affair has become"
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.
been over it.
You know I have purposely been avoiding saying critics were bought off by Bioware/EA but "articles" like this make it really hard to think otherwise. Seriously even Fox News doesn't try this hard when a Republican is caught in a scandal. Maybe E.A./Bioware and the critics need to just stop talking about it and hope it goes away. Cause all they are doing is making themselves look bad and only convincing fanboys they are right for supporting the indoctrination theory Bioware has all but said is wrong.
NO! F U EA/biowere
if it sux it sux. welcome to the age of the internet. if you suck, the world is going to hear about it. there are a few unwritten DLC rules and releasing day one is one of them. another is holding back game mechanics which is another EA specialty. if you ending is really bad then the world is also going to hear about that.
how about the author get over it and accept that this can very likely happen in this internet age
after DA2, bioware had a lot of work to do in proving they are not just another one of EA's bitches and guess what? they failed bad, really bad.
And now we see BF3 releasing CoD maps. DICE are another developer who's rep is about to be ruined by EA... all in the name of money
