(GamesIndustry International) No matter how good a particular video game might be, some gamers will always find something to complain or have misgivings about; it's been a reality of the business practically since video games have been in existence. However, since the average gamer is now older and more aware of his/her rights as a consumer, repercussions can end up being much greater than just angry remarks on a message board. Take, for example, the recent comments put forth by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in the US...
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
Bioware today is like 150 poeple i dont see how they are seemingly working on all these projects at the same time.
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.
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
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.
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?)
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!
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.
Seriously thought a consumer group should take a look at this.
As much as I often bitch about ME3, I've never wanted them to change the ending - I wanted them to do it right the first time.
And besides that, Bioware made tons of promises in regards to the game. Like MP would have no effect on the SP ending, and yet you need to play MP to get the best ending in the game.
People need to be looking at this, as well as Asura's Wrath and FFXIII-2, both of which are taking excessive liberties with DLC. Making the conclusion to what many were expecting to be a complete story something that has to be bought in addition.
People complaining about "false advertising"... yeah because most advertisements are pretty accurate and real!
Indeed they are, hey I must go and sue AXE deodorants because I watched the commercial and the guy using it was being chased by 2957290380520 awesome half naked babes on the beach!
I tell you I tried the same and it didnt work! FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!
Time to sue AXE!!
/sarcasm...
