Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 BioWare will gladly sell you a poster of the very nice coat for $45 For just $45 BioWare will now sell you a poster of their teaser for a Mass Effect game they haven't even confirmed the name of yet | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM For the price of a full game, you can instead get the vague promise of one to put on your wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm not putting much stock in Jeff Grubb's reasoning to come up with that timeframe: Quote "[Dragon Age: Deadwolf] was revealed back in 2018 and we're getting it next year so that means we'll see Mass Effect in 2029".

Brick Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Doesn't BioWare have multiple teams per studio? I don't see how one team couldn't be working on Dragon Age, and the other on Mass Effect, unless they are all focusing on DA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really wouldn't surprise me if it's absolutely "all hands on deck" for Dreadwolf considering their most recent output (Andromeda, Anthem) just as it wouldn't surprise me if there is a dedicated Mass Effect Next team.

Keep in mind they recently had a bunch of layoffs including the writer for Baldur's Gate, Lukas Kristjanson, so prospects for any project coming out from them being any good is pretty grim.

A lot left after 3, including the two founders of BioWare Doctors Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka probably because of EA demanding too much with too little development time, and whining entitled fans always throwing a fit (especially after 3's ending), so they said fuck the games industry, and now Zeschuk got into craft beer, and Muzyka runs an investing company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what they said in June when Austin gave up SWTOR: Quote As we look toward the future, BioWare is focused on being a leader in developing immersive, emotionally charged, single-player games, with teams primarily in Austin and Edmonton. This means a renewed focus on our two key franchises: Dragon Age™ and Mass Effect™. For Dragon Age, we continue to build, polish, and tune an exceptional experience we know our fans will love. We can’t wait to share more on this soon. For Mass Effect, we continue pre-production with a core team of veteran storytellers who are bringing the deep franchise history forward in a spectacular new way. It sounds like they are focused on DA. Edit: Bioware confirmed to GameSpot that ME is still in pre-production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean for consoles? Because ME1 released on PC just 6 months after its release on Xbox 360, and like Dragon Age: Origins, the PC version's HUD and UI are totally different and as a result using KB/M makes the game play, feel, and control completely differently. BioWare sadly homogenized ME2 and DA2 for console play and all the cool things BioWare did when it focused primarily on PC-first experiences when it came time to more in depth inventory management and combat were lost after ME1 and DA: Origins for PC. Even their console ports were stripped down and then BioWare never looked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I meant that it was not on PC initially and not on PS3 at all. Even the 6 month difference to PC can make a difference because hype dies down, spoilers abound on the internet, you can see a drop off from what you could potentially see day and date when the marketing campaign is at its highest point. But the biggest miss on sales was it being excluded from PS3, because it was published by MS. And that may have hurt sales of ME2 on PS3 too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be noted also that while all the Dragon Age games released on all major consoles and PC at the same time, Mass Effect 2 didn't release on PS3 until a year after its simultaneous PC/Xbox 360 release. So twice with Mass Effect the PS3 got screwed in terms of releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
