Still bugger all, just like the last one of these about a week ago? OK cool.

GamersHeaven3807d ago

Sounds like there bringing planet exploration back that would be awesome.

Lon3wolf3807d ago

Wish they would annoyed me no end when that got cut for the rubbish lets scan the planet from orbit system.

frostypants3807d ago (Edited 3807d ago )

Yeah, the scanning crap was just so they could get away with claiming that investigating all planets was still part of the game. That said, the exploration in the original ME was pretty boring...they all looked pretty much the same with the exception of a few side missions or special objects. If they can add some actual features like volcanoes and rivers and what not, that would be sweet. Or for the harsher planets, add more atmospheric elements like haze or even raining sulphur...stuff like that. Make them feel like individual planets.

Lon3wolf3807d ago

@frostypants

I didnt mind the exploration, I used to make a game out of taking the Mako over the mountains and then jumping from the top in it. But yeah I can see your point about the planets, more time in the development cooking pot would of sorted that out.

ksnm03807d ago

so...No ps3/360 version? :/

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney3807d ago (Edited 3807d ago )

Hope not.. The late ps4/xbone gamers can play it later on..
I want them to take advantage of next gen(like witcher 3). I hope the same for Dues EX.

sorry just sayin.

frostypants3807d ago

The more PS4 and One systems they sell, the better the odds that devs won't split resources with last-gen. It's looking good so far.

raresteak3807d ago

The most important question I want answered is: Is EA going to screw over Bioware's creative freedom for this?

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

bababooiy48d ago

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

Michiel198948d 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_looken48d 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

Michiel198947d 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.

RaidenBlack48d 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?)

CantThinkOfAUsername48d ago

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

Becuzisaid48d 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_Revan48d ago

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

Becuzisaid48d 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.

Snookies12194d ago (Edited 194d 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.

-Foxtrot194d 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_Observer194d ago

"Unless Shepard returns"

After ME3, Shepard should f* off

Stanjara193d ago

Put a chick in it and make her gay.

Ethereal193d 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.
