Okay, BioWare Fans Can Start Panicking About Dragon Age 4 Now

Author "The lack of focus to Anthem's story and BioWare's tainted track record between its latest game and Mass Effect Andromeda has me worried about Dragon Age 4."

the bioware you once knew and loved is long gone. thank ea for that .

MoshA2503d ago

And the owners of Bioware for being sellouts.

Vhampir2503d ago

The original owners left long ago, as well as the staff. Bioware was already gone when ME2 came out. As EA started to distill everything out that made them who they were. The process is finished, and they are nothing but a name now.

Legion212503d ago

I think it's a little more complicated than that. If I remember correctly it was Bioware's parent company at the time who sold to EA in 07. Wasn't completely on Bioware

AnthonyDavis2503d ago

Dragon Age was never good. One of the worst looking games compared to its peers.

Angyobangyo2502d ago

Anthony,

Wrong! The first DA was incredible but soon went downhill after the second.

kreate2502d ago

Dragon age origins is great. Dragon age 2 sucked.

Dragon age Inquisition is mediocre.

Next dragon age will be the fail of the year.

EA will close down Bioware after the next dragon age.

Here's enough money so you and your crew can retire forever and live a good life.
No sir, we are far too passionate to abandon gamers.
See how dumb that sounds?

As if EA made their games be bad. They're both together in this.

Bleucrunch2503d ago

Perhaps but last I checked, the developer (Bioware) makes the game and the Publisher (EA) handles marketing and distribution. More BIoware than EA, EA is just the poison that makes good games/developers go BAD.

Man o Man what ever happened to that once great Company in EA.

Kostche2503d ago

exactly, EA are crap, but developers deserve the blame also

nommers2502d ago

I don't think a lot of people realize that publishers have more power than the developer does when it comes to how a game comes out. It's kind of like the same thing when a developer pays its own employees. The publisher pays the developer and the developer is now working for the publisher. The publisher can also chime in creatively if they want to.

Cikatriz_ESP2502d ago

@Bluecrunch

I’m not defending BioWare, but the publisher has way more say than you’re suggesting, especially when they have ownership of the developer.

They had to announce the game last December because they knew Anthem was trash and they wanted to start hype early...which is one of their problems, hype.

It’s like 2-3 years away still apparently

uncleDAD2503d ago

Yep. This is the truth all us fans of old must sadly face

I'm worried for Dragon Age 4...

MoshA2503d ago

They already said they will prioritize SJW agendas over making a good RPG.

nyu12503d ago (Edited 2503d ago )

The bullshit is strong with this one.

Writer said he wears his beliefs on his sleeve, and yes that implies there will be a message or agenda. When did he say it's prioritized over making a good RPG ? He didn't. You just popped that in there for good measure didn't you ?. Lots of artists use entertainment to push a message. That doesn't mean it's prioritized over the game.

What gullible people don't realize is that said agenda does not have to conflict with making a good RPG. This is isn't Battlefield 5, this is Dragon Age. The setting and narrative are often political by their very nature. Heck, Dragon Age : Origins was political too. So having a political message can fit in perfectly fine.

There's no problem with 'pushing an agenda'. You can't ask artists to not put their beliefs in their work, because that would be ridiculous. The problem comes when it's prioritized over believability and consistency of the game world and narrative, ala Battlefield 5.

Surt2503d ago (Edited 2503d ago )

The problem comes when it pandering to the freaks that make up the SJW crowd.

And before the crying starts, I'm talking about the skin as thin as paper crowd. Maybe freaks is a strong word. Here.. The autistics that make up the SJW crowd.

Heavenly King2503d ago

so far this gen all their games suck

Wolffenblitz2503d ago

@Surt

There's a lot of thin skinned people on this website.

MoshA2502d ago

I wish that were true but it has already happened with Uncharted 4's nonsensical Nadine fights, who in early development didn't even exist until Neil Druckmann took over Mass Effect Andromeda is obvious.

@Mosha
They never said that? It's sad when lying to fit your own narrative gets more votes. It's almost like some people here love to be lied to in order to deal with reality.

ILostMyMind2503d ago

Well, that's sad, of course. It is also very sad when people invent stories and attribute it to other people. You could prove your "reality" by quoting what was said by "them."

Redemption-642502d ago

@ILost
I have no desire to try and educate fully grown men or women who openly lie about what someone said in order to deal with reality, especially when this very topic was on this site and can be found within seconds. My reality is that, what this guy said is false. He/she lied in order to fit his/her agenda and some people are far too happy to go along with that lie. It would have taken you less time to find the truth than replying to my comment, calling out a person who is lying or you know, as him/her to also prove what they are saying

RememberThe3572502d ago

Wasn't it a BFV producer who said if you don't like the game don't buy it? What else did EA say?

criticalkare2503d ago

After Anthem won't be bother with DA4

Kabaneri2503d ago (Edited 2503d ago )

I thought Dragon Age Inquisition was extremely overrated GOTY 2014 my ass.

jznrpg2503d ago

It was overrated but I still enjoyed it .

Movefasta19932503d ago

it wasn't overrated , that year was weak in comparison to 2015,16,17 ect. Inquisition is even hated by many dage fans , I thought it really good. Origins is the best tho

Segata2503d ago

Bayonetta 2 should have won but it was on Wii U so no one played it.

Could Anthem live on? Tech allowing local server hosting existed, former executive producer says

BioWare's multiplayer shooter Anthem was terminated this week because EA no longer wanted to maintain servers for people to play the game on, and without them, no one can play the game. But the former executive producer of Anthem has revealed that BioWare had technology working, close to the game's release, that would enable us to host our own servers to play the game on.

EA/Bioware should allow us to host our own servers to let this game live on.

I'd be fine just playing it as a localhost and dumb as rocks AI bots. Just give me the choice.
