Jason Marshall of the Hiphopgamershow.com writes: For many years now, Square-Enix the creators of the world famous Final Fantasy series have been developing RPG's that have made them one of the most acclaimed gaming brands of all time. Being a fan of Square-Enix, it seems like over the years the quality of their titles have somewhat diminished and this is due to the gameplay of their titles lacking any real gameplay enhancements. Now when it comes to BioWare, there games have always been able to deliver various styles of RPG gameplay and every game they've developed has given players choice on how they want the storyline to play out. With Final Fantasy 13 being already released in Japan and it receiving a mixed bag of reviews, one must wonder if Square- Enix have lost their ways and that BioWare should now be considered the new king of the RPG genre.
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.
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.
Exactly, while I love the orginal game (origins) they would have censured the hell out of it and replaced it with wokeness.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@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
Understandable, it is a very different game in many ways.
@anast
I think it was a good game. Who is actually right here?
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.
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.
Kazuyuki Shindo, who worked on games including Legend of Mana, Final Fantasy XIII, and SaGa: Emerald Beyond, has left Square Enix.
I've played the exact same Warden in Dragon Age: Origins for years. In 2025, I will finally make a different one. Maybe.
Tried it before, doesn't work. I tried to to play a Dalish archer but ended up being a Dwarf Noble warrior again, must be a bug
My preferred origin is Dalish Elf Archer that recruits the Templars, Baelen's Dwarves with Golems and Dalish Elves. Took me 3 playthroughs to lock down a "true" file for me. What a game.
They never had their ways. Squaresoft had the talent, but all that talent and money left, which left Square poor and forced them to merge with Enix.
Bioware and Bethesda are top of their class. Funny thing is that their games haven't really changed much since the Neverwinter Nights/ Elder Scrolls days, but they've refined their scripts quite masterfully.
They're basically 3rd and 1st person shooters with RPG mechanics; which is why they appeal to the West. I prefer Bioware's storytelling as it's more cinematic, whereas Bethesda leaves it up to the the player to decipher and experience the plot.
But if we're comparing apples to apples, or JRPGs to JRPGs (though it's tough to actually call Final Fantasy a true, traditional JRPG anymore), I'd vote for Level-5 or Mistwalker.
No, that's the difference between WRPG and JRPG...JRPG doesn't need to change there ways to look more like a WRPG...Freaking idiots at Bioware are being so bias. AND TBH Oblivion and Dragon doesn't have THAT much change so they seriously have no room to talk...And at least were glitch free and don't have terrible graphics.
