From GameWatcher: "But that's it. No real title, no release date, no story points, no setting, just a vague trailer you can see below, the nice artwork above - and a line from Trespasser. As big fans of the franchise (we've even seen the movie!) and of BioWare in general, we thought we'd put our minds to listing everything we want to see in Dragon Age 4! No spoilers here, we'll save that for the Everything We Know!"
Dragon Age 4: Dreadwolf will not release before the end of Fiscal Year 2024, according to new information shared today by Electronic Arts as part of its latest financial report.
This is good news sense its on its second dev team (over half bioware edminton left) and on its 3rd? 4th? game direction perhaps next year they may have a game for us to play.
BioWare writes: "As we continue our journey, we wanted to wish Christian Dailey a heartfelt farewell from BioWare. Christian started with us back in 2018 and has been a big influence on our games and leadership team, most recently as Executive Producer over Dragon Age’s development. The games industry is ever-changing though and sometimes folks want to go and try new things – we understand, but we will miss him as a friend and as a colleague."
Aaaand here we go. So tired of these devs leaving middle of AAA games... I understand problematic working environments but come on this never turns out well for anyone.
You're tired of people making decisions for themselves on where they want to work? Seriously? They don't owe any of us squat. They have as much a right to find work elsewhere or just quit any job they want as anyone else.
Of course. My thing is why agree to a project that you can't commit to seeing the whole thing through? This has been a huge problem in AAA development for awhile. Nothing good comes out of everyone leaving prematurely.
***My thing is why agree to a project that you can't commit to seeing the whole thing through?***
Maybe because the managers above him don't allow him to make the game he wants and he disagrees with it? Maybe they aren't giving him the resources they promised? Maybe he didn't have the control he was promised?
Absolutely no one should become an indentured servant just because you think they should finish a project while having absolutely no clue what they go through at the job
"My thing is why agree to a project that you can't commit to seeing the whole thing through?"
Do you think these people enter the project with any intention of leaving midway?
I seriously doubt any of them took these decisions lightly, specially considering people in key roles.
Hopefully Christian Dailey will start up his own RPG studio, just like Casey Hudson did.
Why though? This Christian Dailey got nothing under his belt*. Casey Hudson, on the other hand, was responsible for Mass Effect 1-3 games and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (and others, but he was a project director for those).
* "He had worked as the Franchise Development Director of Anthem Live Service" - taken from Anthem wiki. I don't think he or anyone else should be proud to be a part of Anthem.
Today BioWare provided an update about the state of development of the next Dragon Age game, which is in the middle of production.
Game panders to transfemminist and left wing politics. Good for them.
Everyone has the freedom to make whatever they want.
The creators flat out stated that we are not the target audience.
Less fetch quests please. DA:I was filled with fetch quests. Give us quality over quantity
I'd like to see Bioware make an amazing game like Dragon Age Origins again but I know that will most likely never happen again.
Less fetch quests. 10 of this, 6 of those, kill random monster then you get more reputation with strangers for absolutely no reason. Awful.
Tevinter and Nevarra would be great places to push the franchise into next. More blood magic and necromancers is always welcomed.
In all seriousness: it has got a "4" behind its title. When was the last time a 4th game in a series war worth anything? I can't think of one.
