Last April, BioWare licensed the StreamBase Stream Processing Engine to help accelerate the development of their MMOG in production at BioWare Austin, and now, a TechWeb article discussing the technology with Bill Dalton, Technical Director of BioWare, reveals that the as-of-yet-unnamed game is due to be released in 2009:
BioWare has not announced the name or described the nature of its online game, but Dalton said it will be launched in 2009. Dalton said his firm wants to do more than match the state of the art represented by such online games as World of Warcraft. He expects the complex event processing built into his firm's game to allow richer role playing and interactions between players.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
what in the hell are they working on. Whatever the name or the world it's based in - I buying this game! So far, I've loved all of BioWare's stuff!
First post w00t, w00t
if they are developing on ps3, I will buy ps3 when it comes out, I love Bioware that much. but knowing Bioware and their plans for Mass Effect its unlikely
Oh sure BioWare says that they are going to be releasing an MMO in 2009 but they haven't said anything about Mass Effect's release date, arggh...
This is really getting ridiculous, they've been hiding what this mmo is about for a year and a half. Has anyone ever seen something like this kind of secrecy? Giving details about the game's complex storytelling and adaptation abilities to its population but absolutely no info on what it is...
Really, is their any doubt that its Star Wars? Waiting for SWG's license to expire is an interesting tactic. Old Republic setting of course, not Galactic boring Empire age; Hopefully New Sith Wars for you fellow SW nerds out there. :)
