In last month's Mass Effect 3 demo analysis we asked ourselves if the PS3's frequent dips to 20FPS would be improved by the time of its release.
The fact that BioWare has made some sizeable changes to its previous games between demos and full releases gave us hope that something might shift. Regular readers may recall how Mass Effect 2 on PS3 went from a consistent 30FPS with regular tearing in the demo to 20-30FPS with v-sync engaged, although the end results were largely comparable to the 360 version.
However, with retail code of the new game now available, we can confirm that performance on the final PS3 release is extremely similar, if not identical to that of the stuttering demo code. We've put together a quick look at the explosive intro sequence (used for the demo) and a few early snippets of traversal gameplay from the first mission to see where it stands now so PS3 owners can get some idea of the game's performance ahead of its European release on Friday.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
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.
This really annoyed me. First they release day 1 dlc that should have been in the full game and now this. This was a really lazy port by Bioware. The PS3 version should have been optimised alot more.
All Lies!!
Well this dissapoints me, I was hoping that it was down to the demo, but I guess Bioware got lazy. Hopefully they will give us a patch.
sounds like a common trend for multiplat ps3 games.
I think every developer should makes their games exclusively for the Playstation 3. That way we would never know how much better it runs or looks on another platform and we can all continue to tell everyone how great the system is here on N4G.
Sarcasm aside it is obvious the Playstation 3 still causes stumbling blocks for some games. Sony has admitted their system is not the easiest to develop for and by all accounts Vita has shown Sony is finally starting to listen. Another thing people often neglect is how companies are not always going to treat certain systems as the lead platform which Sony wishes they would on the Playstation 3.
