"Hate and cry and bang your fists on the table, but to think for a second that your petty grievances mean that someone should change their art for you is insane. I suppose it would be one thing if Bioware had a reputation for not caring, for delivering crappy stories all the time. Or if we had proof that Casey Hudson and company just half-assed the ending out of laziness. But we don’t. And with Mass Effect and Dragon Age and many others, Bioware has delivered some of the most important games of this decade. So at the very least we owe them a respect for their creative vision. Respect, not fondness. Just respect."
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.
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.
Bioware was definitely not under any obligation to change their crappy ending. It was absolutely their right to leave it the way it was if they wanted to.
By the same token, it was also my right to say plainly that the ending to Mass Effect 3 sucked. And no, I don't have to respect them for undercutting the entire point of the franchise by constructing an ending in which none of the choices I made mattered. That was a betrayal of their own artistic vision.
Personally, it didn't matter to me if they "fixed" the ending or not. I moved on to other games a long time ago and I'm not going to bother to download the new ending. Maybe I'll 'tube it sometime when I'm bored.
