Following the success and anticipation generated from their recent games, most notably Mass Effect 3, we’d love to see some of their Xbox “classics” resurface with a facelift. In simple terms, we want Jade Empire 2. If any company can breathe new life into an aged title, it would be Bioware.
With the PS5 offering Demon's Souls, here's some dormant franchises that should be brought back for the Xbox Series X|S.
GB: "It does seem that with BioWare being in the spot that they are, where their last two major releases haven’t exactly lived up to expectations, perhaps a big shift in direction is just what the doctor ordered to inject themselves with a new surge of energy and start to turn the page just in time for the new decade. It’s tough to say at this point, but with the Jade Empire trademark being suspended as of April of last year, I wouldn’t suggest anybody start holding their breath for anything major for this game just yet."
You should be asking where their talent went first
Spoilers most of them left the company already
They've addressed this before, Microsoft owns the IP and its upto them but its better to leave it then make a sequel. The OGs have a new studio and are working on a Sci-Fi game for next gen
They're to busy trying to keep Anthem alive and I doubt EA will fire up an old ip. And on top of that if they did make the game it will probably be as bad as ME Andromeda since most of the talent is gone now leave it to EA to wreck a good company.
ME Andromeda was disappointing, but it was still a pretty good game, IMO. I would rather get another Jade Empire, even if it's only that good, rather than not get another one at all.
Player 2's Matt Hewson looks at five games from his past that seem to have been forgotten by the masses and perhaps deserve a second look.
No,Bioware would just dumb it down and take away rpg elements / charge extra for story plots.
God I LOVE Jade Empire!!
Jade Empire was one hell of a RPG it'd be nice to see a a Jade Empire 2.
I would love it as well, but with today's BioWare there would no doubt be day 1 DLC characters that are already locked on the disk and it would probably have the ending cut off into some vague as hell cliffhanger, only to be sold to us later as more DLC.
I'd much prefer KOTOR 3 but Jade was also excellent. I think Bioware was more talented back then for some reason. Things just seem off after since ME1 released - the stories don't draw me into the world nearly as much.
It's probably just coincidence but after EA acquired them, their story telling has been lacking.
