Bioware's "initiative"

Bioware recently said they were going to do some "content initiatives" to please the raging Mass Effect 3 community. But will this really please anyone?

--Onilink--5171d ago (Edited 5171d ago )

well i now know what i can really expect when bioware tells us about something, so i just wont get my hopes up.

They are kinda like the new peter molineux of gaming, just instead of promises not living up to expectations, its just blatant lies... we just have to learn not to get too optimistic when they promise something

and before some of you give that disagree button a click, at least bother checking some of the press releases prior to the launch and tell me it wasnt a bunch of BS

Ok. So bioware isn't perfect, but cmon. Get over it. If i wanted to take the time, i could list 100 examples of being lied to. The only reason u care so much is because u loved the job they did for 2 3/4. U loved it so much that it broke ur heart. Don't get all high and mighty and act like u would not have bought the game if they had said, "maybe ur choices will matter, maybe they won't."

It may not be perfect, they may have made a comment, they may have been dead wrong, but u will get a new ending. Give them some damned credit.

dude dont be so mediocre, honestly check that link, that is an absurd amount of lies... whether people like the ending or not, i think that should be what people talk about

how the hell can a company lie to its customers like that?? and even worse have the mayority of the media come out to defend them.... or have people like you that just let it go because you have been lied to before? there is a reason people complain, to try and stop the lies.

Maybe nothing will change this time or the next time, but i can assure nothing WILL EVER CHANGE if people just settle for anything and stay quiet

And it's going to be 20$

God I think E.A./Bioware's secret plan is to get us to hate the critics more then we could ever hate their barely effort of a game. Though really it is just putting me off them and the video game critic industry off entirely.

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-inferno197d 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.

Profchaos197d 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

jznrpg197d ago

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

P_Bomb197d ago

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

Rebel_Scum197d 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.

Who didn’t see this coming lol

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.

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.

Retroman227d 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_drake226d 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
