"TGL caught up with BioWare founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk to talk about BioWare's Irish expansion and why Star Wars: The Old Republic does everything a traditional MMO does and more"

I think weve already seen the best this game has to offer

i.e The Trailers

Sidewinder-4572d ago

Amazing they can say that, what with it not being released yet.

Robotronfiend4572d ago

"Go back"? How do they have trouble "going back" to other MMOs when this one isn't even out yet? Or maybe its so bad they are just finished with the MMO genre as a whole and decide to just play Skyrim after release for a few hundred hours instead.

Si-Fly4572d ago

Congratulations on the dumbest post I've read this month!

"people have trouble going back to other mmo's once they've played TOR"

.... In case you're still struggling with that quote, he means the people who have play tested the game so far like it so much they are struggling to "go back" to their other mmo's ... make sense?!

Robotronfiend4571d ago

Congratulations on missing the point. I understand the intent of the statement, but it is meaningless because the game is in beta. The testers are selected from a highly interested and motivated group of applicants who have above minimum PC specs. They also are not paying for access to TOR.

Of course they like it! Once the general public starts playing it and paying subscriptions, then a statement like that will have meaning. Until then beta testers aren't "going back" to their old MMOs because they aren't losing anything by playing TOR. Once there's a subscription required to play, then people will "go back" to other MMOs. They also didn't mention anything about how they determine who has an active sub to another game and measuring how much time they are spending on all MMOs, not just TOR. Poor data collection and faulty logic twisted together to make a crappy, sensationalist statement for the media.

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

bababooiy21d ago

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

Michiel198921d 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_looken21d 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

Michiel198921d 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.

RaidenBlack21d 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?)

CantThinkOfAUsername22d ago

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

Becuzisaid22d 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_Revan22d ago

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

Becuzisaid22d ago

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

New Mass Effect Game Teased for N7 Day, and It Shows a Mysterious Individual

Today is known as Mass Effect N7 Day, and BioWare has released what looks to be teasers for the new Mass Effect game.

Snookies12168d ago (Edited 168d ago )

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.

-Foxtrot168d 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_Observer167d ago

"Unless Shepard returns"

After ME3, Shepard should f* off

Stanjara167d ago

Put a chick in it and make her gay.

Ethereal167d 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.
