Dragon Age 2 + Move = one happy PS3 owner who intends on buying Move.

Blacktric5791d ago

Was thinking about the same thing right now. And they might add Kinect support for Mass Effect 3 for playing mini games like decrypting or hacking. I wish Mass Effect also released for PS3 though. Playing it with Move would be a great experience considering how SOCOM 4, a TPS game, works great with it.

Pc is your friend you can allready use wii controller with all pc games and I can see the same happening with move. so you will able play mass effect 3 with move

PirosThe4th5791d ago

I really hope once Move gets released, someone makes drivers for Pc. I swear that would be just epic!

zeeshan5791d ago

When it comes to the Mass Effect series, I realllyy hope they explore some other engines or tech than the Unreal Engine 2. I mean that sh** is getting old and they could do a whole lot better with something different. Bioware are extremely talented devs and they can deliver some stunning stuff with some new tech (software realted).

Game-ur5791d ago

i vote for the CryEngine

Cold 20005791d ago

Nope they already said a while ago that they'll be sticking with UE3.

IdleLeeSiuLung5790d ago

Yet, ME series is among the best looking games on the 360 right next to Gears of War series!

XxxstarwarsfanxxX5791d ago

I hope it has to do with Mass Effect 3

xxLuckyStrike5791d ago

Mass Effect 3 Will be Kinect enabled!!!

Game-ur5791d ago

Doesn’t Kinect lock up 20-30% of the 360's power? would they do that to hardcore games just to feature the device?

FragMnTagM5790d ago (Edited 5790d ago )

It would be reasonable to assume that a game that only uses the Kinect would take up more processing power. But a regular game that has some Kinect interaction should not take as much power away from the game.

Or maybe it could only use the processing power when it needs to. Typically in those games you go to a separate screen for hacking, e.g. Bioshock, Mass Effect, Resident Evil (Door, locker codes), and so on. It would not be too hard to put up a static screen like that and use the Kinect for that moment.

It could also be used during cutscenes to move your character out of harms way in slow motion.

There are many things that can be done to not make the core game suffer.

HarryM5791d ago

If Bioshock 3 was to have Kinect they'd probably make you hug one of the Little Sisters as part of the game. XD

leila015791d ago

Bioshock is published by Take2, not Bioware. A friend of mine makes the same mistake all the time as well. lol

Megaton5791d ago (Edited 5791d ago )

Don't you dare get Move or Kinect anywhere near Mass Effect 3.

DON'T FUCK WITH WHAT WORKS!

TheLeprachaun5791d ago

Well I think the galaxy map could by cool with Kinect.

FragMnTagM5790d ago

It would most likely be an option, not a requirement. Quit spazzing out.

Dragon Age Lead Says Including World State Reactivity Felt Like It Was "Irrelevant Or Not Enough"

Dragon Age 2 set the precedent that the series would always carry our choices over, but was it worth it?

If the choices won't matter, why bother? Bioware works so hard at giving meaningful choices but rarely if ever carrying out the impact of such choices to the end.

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-inferno194d 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.

Profchaos194d 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

jznrpg194d ago

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

P_Bomb194d ago

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

Rebel_Scum194d ago

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

BioWare needs to follow Larian’s lead and just “embrace people’s cool choices”, veteran EA developer

Speaking on a recent episode of the FRVR Podcast, veteran EA developer Alex Hutchinson—who worked on The Sims 2, Spore and Army of Two: The 40th Day—explained that the studio is already no longer the studio fans fell in love with, but it should be safe from censorship of its games’ political beliefs.

contra157194d ago

Who didn’t see this coming lol

Armaggedon193d ago

BioWare should find the center and focus. Chasing someone else’s shadow will likely lead to failure.
