Taking a look at the best-selling games of any particular time, platform or location displays our faith that the latest numbered title will always be the best, but sadly this can often not be the case."

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.
Totally agree with this, though if Fable 3 had done a better (longer) job of the 'ruling over kingdom' part it may have done better.
Interesting that here most of the originals are better...
I find many sequels just try to milk the success of the original and don't actually get better these days.
Some look better but don't play better.
It really depends on what the game is.
Assassin's Creed vs Assassin's Creed 2
AC2 wins.
So you can't say that the first on is always better. But there are times that the sequels capture the idea and make it far better.
And of course you have sequels which fall flat on their face and suck.
Devil May Cry is a confusing one.
DMC3 = DMC1 > DMC4 >>>>> DMC2... There is no part 5...
OH Oh can I be the first to say it can I can I!?! Call of Duty..!
Sequals are good with a game that has a great story and a character that the fans can relate with. Like Uncharted 3 or Gears of War 3 people relate with those characters like Nathan Drake or Marcus Pheonix even Dom alot of people were shocked when he killed his wife. Games like that immerse a person into a game and let you feel what the chracter is feeling. Each Final Fantasy is a differant world differant time period and always uses new characters some you like and some you hate I remember being pissed off when Aeris died by the sword of Sephiroth I like it when a game shocks me like that. Sequals are bad when the name sells for itself but nothing has changed from the last game like Sonic he has been around since the Genesis days they were great. When the Dreamcast came out Sonic took a leap from 2D to 3D and that was great but now his games are getting kinda stale. Mario has been around for a while to but his game play always changes from one Mario game to another new power ups 3D.
Some sequals in a game even out do the first game I thought Uncharted 2 out did Uncharted 1. And with sequals they try and make the sequal look better than the first game. COD I don't find as a true sequal its put out yearly slap some new game play in add a few characters and away you go. Because Activision knows the game will sell true sequal takes time to develop the characters refine the story add some new game play and make it look better and maybe add an annoying character in the game.
