GameBlurb writes, "If you head on over to the Baldur's Gate website right now, you'll notice a pretty peculiar countdown on the very bottom. What it counts down...is still a mystery."

Not long enough to mark the Apocalypse...Hmmmm, I am at a loss then.

Bioware here to ruin another of their beloved franchises

They ruined Dragon age, and Knights of the Old Rep. And gave Mass effect a terrible terrible ending.

Noticeably_FAT5177d ago

Go cry some more. They didn't ruin anything, the only thing they've ever done is give us hundreds of hours of entertainment for a small price. Get over it kid.

mep695177d ago

I have to admit though; Dragon Age 2 was terrible. I haven't completed it because i got bored of seeing the same caves and rooms etc again and again.
I don't see The Old Republic as a true sequal, no matter how you look at it; it's just another mmo.
As for Mass Effect 3... well I'm waiting for my CE so i can enjoy the end of a great trillogy.

If you don't see that they're ruining their games then you must be a blind follower, or part of their target audience.

BioWare has changed a lot from how they used to be. Would you really want them making another Baldur's Gate? Look at what they did with Dragon Age 2, which the first was similar in ways to something like Baldur's Gate. They ended up turning something awesome into a completely different game. Not only did they ruin what Dragon Age was, they were extremely lazy with it and they also showed us just who they are targeting with their games these days.

Maybe deep down they still care about their real fans, and part of me believes that, but if they aren't going to show it, then why should their real fans show that we still care about them?

Trenta275176d ago

Have you played ME3? It's amazing. Just because the ending was terrible doesn't mean it was a failure. The entire series leads up to one single point. It's hard to please everyone. Get over it. They ruined nothing.

Whitefox7895176d ago

It's not Bioware though, the guys who are developing whatever this is (most people think its Baldurs Gate 3) is a group called Beamdog which is being lead by former Bioware employee Trent Oster.

Do some research before drawing conclusions.

Mythicninja5177d ago

Hd remake? Figures... I just got #1 and #2 on GOG a month ago

Whitefox7895176d ago

It's a possibility the group Beamdog teamed up with Interplay to make an HD port of MDK2

hano5177d ago

Say, who has the rights to Baldur's gate now, is it ATARI?

Whitefox7895176d ago (Edited 5176d ago )

It is Atari though they had a comment in their source code earlier this week saying:

"Great meeting with #Atari at #GDC now we need to get all the ducks in a row for an announcement #baldursgate #bestthingever"

So whatever this is Atari, has green lit it.

Mass Effect - N7 DAY 2025

Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."

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-inferno190d 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.

Profchaos190d 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

jznrpg190d ago

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

P_Bomb190d ago

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

Rebel_Scum190d 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.

contra157191d ago

Who didn’t see this coming lol

Armaggedon190d ago

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

What the EA deal could mean for BioWare, The Sims, and more

If you’re worried about EA’s future, you’re in good company. The acquisition is unprecedented on many levels, and it throws the future of EA's studios and some of its biggest franchises —including BioWare, The Sims, Apex Legends, and Battlefield — into doubt. Industry analysts have varying predictions about what could come next. However, there are a few constants — namely, that EA will likely implement large-scale spending reductions and sell off its less profitable studios.

thorstein220d ago

How can you be an analyst and not look at Tencent and know exactly what's about to happen: massive layoffs, decline in quality, and loss revenue.

It is Toys R Us all over again, and JCPenney and Sears and so many more. EA lost is vision before 2000. It's an old stodgy corporation. It's not going to recover.

Retroman220d ago

If Ea sell studio that develop NFS wishful thinking Saudi investers put Blackbox studio back together. get rid of online racing, drive to a race or no races at all wasting time playing nfs for NO reason at all thanks to Unbound, Heat, Payback, Rivals.

They'll start working on FIFA, Madden, UFC, and some mobile games.

gold_drake220d ago

i think that games that are not Sports games or Shooters will cease to exist, since they are the big money makers.

not sure why anyone would agree to this. especially to rich saudis of all people ha they have more money than they'll ever need
