Chris Penwell from PlayStation Euphoria writes: BioWare, the creators of Mass Effect and Dragon Age have placed their RPG spin on Sonic the Hedgehog and Star Wars in a triumphant fashion. They appreciated the original lore from the franchises they have worked on and there are still many franchises out there to bring their story based gameplay. Here are the Top 3 Franchises BioWare Should Work On Next.
NO! NO!... And I could care less about Harry Potter.
Final Fantasy 13 was not that good, true, but give it to someone aside from Toriyama and Kitasae! DO NOT westernize the FF franchise! It will turn out allot like DmC...
Bioware has done NOTHING to prove they can have an Asian feel to their stories, at all. So why give them Avatar and FF? So far, all I notice about Bioware is how their stories are oddly similar to "A Song of Ice and Fire"
Anyone could make a better FF than what XIII and XIII-2 turned out to be. I would be worried if EA got a hold of FF though, they would find ways to make us pay extra for it I'm sure.. They've pretty much destroyed Bioware's reputation.
A game set in the harry potter universe where you could create your own character and advance through a new plotline at school would be pretty awesome, I think.
As for giving ff to bioware, no. That's ridiculous.
Bioware have sucked this GEN, just as much as squeenix. Knights of the old republic > All mass effect games put together
NO to all especially final fantasy Bioware has killed every new franchise they made this gen you really want them to kill these things?
Gamervision's Sarah LeBoeuf writes: "In the gaming industry, there are some rumors that just won't quit. One such rumor is that developer Turbine, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, would be developing an MMO set in the Harry Potter universe, a possibility that very much excited me. After announcing that Lord of the Rings Online would be going free-to-play earlier today, Jonathan Cooper had a chat with Adam Mersky, the executive directior of communications at Turbine. In addition to discussing Dungeons and Dragons Online and LOTRO, Coop asked what the future held for Turbine, hoping to get a hint of what games the developer might have in the pipeline."
Gamervision's Jonathan Cooper talked to Kate Paiz and Adam Mersky about Lord of the Rings: Online going Free-to-Play: "Gamervision: Alright, well let’s start off with the obviously huge news: Lord of the Rings Online going free-to-play. Can you give us an explanation of how this is going to work?
Kate Paiz: Absolutely. The Lord of the Rings Online is introducing a free-to-play option to our subscription, and we’re also bringing a store full of consumables, convince, and concierge options that is absolutely optional to all players. Free players, or any players, will be able to enter the game at the beginning, and play the first three regions completely for free. That’s about 200 to 300 hours of gameplay. Then they’ll have the opportunity to play the Epic Story throughout the first area of the game: Shadows of Angmar..."
Ether or could be really good an MMO playing with friends and other players can be so much fun !
Would take some serious effort to think things out and expand on the universe to make it good.
The idea definitely has potential.
On the other hand, anything generic spewed out as a cash grab from its popularity, I'll just skip out on as I'm sure anyone else sensible would do.
