Mass Effect - N7 DAY 2025

Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno184d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos184d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

jznrpg184d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb184d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum184d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

EA Turned Down BioWare's Pitch For A Dragon Age Origins Remake Or A Remastered Trilogy

EA turned down BioWare's pitch to work on a remake of Dragon Age Origins or a remastered Dragon Age Trilogy, according to a new report.

Thats a pity. A remaster Trilogy would sell a lot better than the game they released last year.

TheEroica272d ago

Speak for yourself... Some of us are tired of remastered/remakes. Maybe this industry could show a little originality or progress a thought forward. Pass on dragon age remastered. Make a competent dragon age game or fold up shop.

FullmetalRoyale272d ago

They did speak for themselves.

jambola272d ago

At what point did they indicate they were speaking for anyone else?

Lionsguard272d ago

No, they would have just ruined it by retconning things with their agenda.

Ristul271d ago

Exactly, while I love the orginal game (origins) they would have censured the hell out of it and replaced it with wokeness.

-Foxtrot273d ago

I would have rather seen a remake of Origins which added onto it with more content than Dragon Age 4

If successful they could have continued on from it ignoring the other DA games.

Christopher273d ago

Lore dump in Veilguard was very good and I enjoyed the game for that.

I would not at all be opposed to more of a 'remake' of the first game, though. Not sure a 'remaster' with better graphics and whatnot would really pull me in if it didn't include more updated controls and gameplay.

Armaggedon272d ago

Yeah, your right about the lore, and thats the reason I like dragon age in the first place. I think thats why theres such a divide with veilguard. Those that fell in love with dragon age for the rpg mechanics were gravely disappointed.

pwnmaster3000273d ago (Edited 273d ago )

Honestly I tried getting into dragon age 4 but just couldn’t man and it wasn’t that political BS, annoying yes, but not game killing. It just wasn’t it for me.
I would rather they just remake the original and stay true to the original

anast272d ago

It's not a good game. But if a few trans and gay people upset you, then you have some issues with stuff beyond politics.

pwnmaster3000272d ago

Didn’t care for it.
Annoying yes, because it’s dragon age.
That whole trans and binary just didnt fit in and felt force.

But like I said it wasn’t game killing. I just found it boring.

andy85272d ago

Ill always have the argument you only see it if you go looking for it. Im not gay or trans, it was a 2 minute scene you can literally skip and then you dont see any more of it in the game. Didn't bother me at all.

pwnmaster3000272d ago (Edited 272d ago )

@andy
It really wasn’t 2 min and it was pretty much one characters identity lol.
Like I said it wasn’t game killing.

But to pretend it wasn’t stupid the way they went about it.
Sounded like something from our world would say.
Like wtf, i want fantasy to run away from our world.
I think it’s dumb asf to use real world terminology for real world problems in a game that isn’t set in ours world/altworld

Armaggedon272d ago

Understandable, it is a very different game in many ways.

@anast
I think it was a good game. Who is actually right here?

anast272d ago

It's not a good game. People people liking something is not always a good metric. People like sh%& games, I even like a few sh&% games myself.

Armaggedon271d ago (Edited 271d ago )

Thats the understanding people lack.

People set standards of what is “good”. Interestingly, it is a strange form of confirmation bias, in which people look for evidence to support what they deem “good or bad” about a title. That is why we have so many people that say that starfield does nothing new…when that is literally what it does..something new…for Bethesda at least.

I have had people call me trash before, moments before I obliterate them in whatever it is we are playing. Broaden your awareness, and you will know of what I speak.

isarai273d ago

That's ok, they probably would've sullied it somehow anyways

LucasRuinedChildhood273d ago

What was wrong with Mass Effect Legendary Edition?

Terry_B273d ago

Miranda Lawson..and a bit more.

franwex272d ago

Right? I’m actually glad they left it alone.

Next ‘BioShock’ Game Changes Leaders After Development Turmoil

The fourth game in the ‘BioShock’ series has been in development for more than a decade

toxic-inferno282d ago

Bioshock is one of my favourites franchises. I love all 3 games and have played each several times. I even have a room in my house that is loosely decorated around the theme of Bioshock (with a Lighthouse, coral models and postcards styled as though they are from both Rapture and Columbus).

And yet I am going to find it extremely difficult to get even remotely excited about any future episode in the series after all the problems this has had in its development cycle.

Leave the franchise alone. Remaster them again if you have to. Then put whatever talent you have to use on something brand new.

Furesis282d ago

Since ken levine isn't involved i'm not surprised what's going on. i'm more excited for his next game which looks like bioshock. Yet he still works under take2 and they are making bioshock 4 without him, strange situation.

toxic-inferno281d ago

Yes. Judas. Looks brilliant, but it's one of those games that seems to never have had a release date. Instead it's had release windows that keep getting pushed back.

Once it's ready, I'll be there for it though. Ken Levine is an excellent developer.

I get the feeling he dissolved Irrational Games simply so that 2k couldn't tell him what to do. It seems it will pay off, but I feel sorry for those who worked as part of Irrational before it was dissolved, who hadn't independently made a name for themselves.

ActualWhiteMan281d ago

He didn’t even want to make 2, that’s why they did it without him.

Rebel_Scum281d ago

tbh it wouldnt be a Bioshock game without development hell. They all had it.

Michiel1989281d ago

bioshock 2 was 2.5 years after 1, so much of a development hell it was......

-Foxtrot281d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77281d ago

It sucks this game is in development hell because I love BioShock and would love a 4th game. I hope it turns out great, but I guess we'll see.

P_Bomb281d ago

Love Bioshock. It’s too bad what’s going on. At least we have Judas.

Yui_Suzumiya281d ago (Edited 281d ago )

It's been in development hell since 2014. This is nothing new. It saddens me because it's one of my favorite series. At this point, Judas may end up releasing first.

BABI-PANGPANG281d ago

Bioshock 4 (if it ever comes out) will probably still look and play like a Bioshock game, but without Kevin, it might miss that spark that made the originals so special. Honestly, Judas might end up feeling more like the real spiritual successor.
