we don't need multiplayer on dragon age, we need a compelling story, something that was present on dragon age 2...

RankFTW4782d ago

I agree. I don't see why BioWare are even thinking about MP in Dragon Age in the first place (if they are) as it is ahn excellent single player franchise that I don't want to see ruined.

Cat4782d ago (Edited 4782d ago )

Agreed, a single player RPG with a good story is what makes me happy!

I think it's just rumor mill fodder, though.

kesvalk4782d ago (Edited 4782d ago )

10 bubbles?

anyway, i hope you're right, multiplayer will just take time that they should use to make a better single player experience...

I would think that with Mass Effect 3 being confirmed to not have a Multiplayer aspect, Bioware are well aware that the fans of their games want that to be a common trend. Don't ruin it Bioware, your games suit a singleplayer, others suit multiplayer. Keep your focus the same...

TronEOL4782d ago (Edited 4782d ago )

That's actually not true.

Casey Hudson said this in regards to Multiplayer in Mass Effect 3 on page 56 of GameInformer (or Scan 7 from the HD Scans):
"We haven't yet come up with a way to do that, so we don't have anything to announce at this time. But, obviously, multiplayer is something we want to do more of in the future as a company."

So multiplayer has yet to be debunked or announced. And personally, I think a Horde mode (sort of like the single player extra game in the first ME) would work perfectly as a Co-op mode. Or maybe allowing others to control the other characters in your party where the first player always plays as their Shepard.

It could work if they do it right is all I'm saying.

kesvalk4782d ago

greed blind people dude, if they need to ruin the single player experience to put multiplay, and by that, have more sales, they will do prolly do it...

i hope i am wrong, as bioware is one the last quality devs out there, but this generations is one dispointment after another...

InfectedDK4782d ago

Nice, then I might buy my first Dragon Age game and will be the PS3 version ofc.

if its as linear as the da2 ill pass

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

bababooiy42d ago

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

Michiel198942d 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_looken42d 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

Michiel198942d 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.

RaidenBlack42d 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?)

CantThinkOfAUsername42d ago

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

Becuzisaid42d 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_Revan42d ago

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

Becuzisaid42d ago

Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.

Dragon Age: Inquisition Retro Review – A Nostalgic Leap Short Of Legendary

Dragon Age: Inquisition, developed by BioWare, is the third installment in the cherished Dragon Age series. It represents a major evolution from its predecessor, Dragon Age II, incorporating elements that were well-loved in the original Dragon Age: Origins but also introducing new features that stand on their own. While Inquisition improves upon Dragon Age II in many respects, it falls short of the exceptional standards set by Origins.
