The first stage of 'game testing' ( they're not quite calling it beta) started today for Bioware's up and coming Star Wars MMO, The Old Republic.
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.
During a part of his interview with Minnmax, Mac Walters gave details of why he chose to leave BioWare.
Today is known as Mass Effect N7 Day, and BioWare has released what looks to be teasers for the new Mass Effect game.
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.
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
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.
familly and friends then.
quick quick quick !!
Meh. It's an MMO for single player people, which means no one will play it past the first month because most single player folks don't play a game for more than a month without getting bored (or more than a week in most cases) and they definitely wont shell out $15 a month for it. Most of them are afraid of subscription fees.
As for MMO people, most aren't interested in this boring, outdated piece of crap. I've played the same autotarget 123456 game a million times, I have no interest in playing it again, Bioware or not. They had so much potential to do something new and different in this game but they ended up making it a WoW clone in the end anyway.
Here's a tip: people don't want WoW. WoW is 6 years old. The ONLY reason people still even PLAY WoW is because virtually every other MMO out there is a clone of WoW, offering the exact same game but with less polish and less content, so they go back to playing the real thing instead of a half-assed knock off. People want new. People want innovative. They don't want gameplay from the 90s. You could have had the best MMO out there but you decided to make it with gameplay that puts you to sleep and plain, textureless cartoony graphics because that's what WoW did. It's the same problem with Sony and Microsoft's motion controls copying the Wii. Most people didn't want motion controls, they wanted the Wii, and Motion controls are NOT the reason it sold, just like WoW's combat and graphics are NOT the reason WoW sold, so why in the world would you copy it? Do a little research before pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into a game, Jesus.
The ONLY reason this game will sell is on hype/Star Wars license alone. Subscribers will drop fast.
