BioWare Wants To Rebuild Its Reputation, Promises "Highest Quality" Games Going Forward

now just maybe might be the time ea lets you make a good token game because your long run of crappy games has really hurt it. but you know even if ea lets you make 1 actually good game that will get a good sequel hype, they will squeeze and grind the hell out of that sequel.

like happened with dead space, mass effect 2 and some others. probably jedi fallen order was also that kind of token game. its a constant game of "we need to gain some player interest and fandom, so we can then squeeze them all out of their money". a sacrificial lamb of sorts.

what has helped ea in not needing to do so many of those is that other game houses have lowered their quality and started use ea methods. theres no longer option to choose the great konami or square enix or namco or ubisoft game instead of weak ea game. theyre all equally bad

Yeah, sure you will EAWare. I'll believe that you still give a rat's ass about gamers & your customers once you start giving a rat's ass about gamers & your customers.

When you promise the things that you don't know if you can deliver, you just dig your grave deeper. Let action speak, make a good game, then say that it happened because you were "laser-focused". But if you talk and don't deliver, it's even worse than just making a mediocre game without all these promises. The people still remember BW of the past and probably there is a good chance that one game can restore your fans' faith.

I like your vision sir....but it's not up to you or even the studio in the end.....unless EA grants you complete creative freedom (which I seriously doubt they will) ;it's going to be an uphill battle to make your vision a reality. I'm rooting for you though....

"EA wants to rebuild its reputation. But unfortunately, it is still EA, and so the games suffer."

Hopefully EA realized that single player games sell from the Star Wars game that was pretty awesome and sold quite well.

Get out of the mindset that "we'll release it and fix it later" crap. Pretend you can't patch games. That should be for emergency, game breaking bugs. Not to finish development.

Last but not least... Let developers make the games they're good at making. Don't buy a world class RPG studio and have them make Mech Warrior Lite. Let them make the games they're known for, or don't buy the studios.

Highest quality instead of highest profit?

Would greedy daddy EA approve that?

IMO for that to happen they need to get away from EA.

EA is why so many good franchises went to crap after EA bought them

Actions speak louder than words.

When you morons allow your investors to push your releases before they are even ready to launch, it ruins your games. I will NEVER, EVER pre-order a game again. Let alone from EA or Bioware.

With Anthem, Mass Effect Andromeda, Battlefield 1, Battlefield 5, Battlefield 2042, Dragon Age, Battlefront. I could go on and on......two words......Eat ***t.

You guys are just upset because we, the consumers.... are now deciding to protest with our wallets.

Your sales have tanked horribly game after game. And you keep releasing half cocked games and expect better results on the "next game" with empty promises like this.

We the consumers are tired of being your beta testers. HIRE THEM BEFORE YOU RELEASE YOUR GAMES!!!!! Battlefield 2042 was literally a beta. Yes, I know this is Dice....But, Andromeda was the same if not, worse.

While I know some of these are from DICE as well. They still fall under the umbrella, parent company, EA. This ultimately should not be green lit if it is not ready to go.

A nice idea, but that's out of your hands when you're owned by EA and a lot of your best talent has already left in disgust.

IMO BioWare was the greatest game company of all time in their glory days. They have some of the best story telling RPGs around. It all went downhill starting with ME3. I would love to see them return to the old form but it’s hard to imagine it being possible.

It sounds good until all the executives stick their fingers into the mix. That's why Andromeda didn't live up to its full potential. They don't let the people making the game make it, they put their hands in and then say "It has to be out before XYZ, finished or not."

Studio bought by EA: Our games will be even better with EA. Developers made said studio great leaving not wanting to work for EA.

Games sucked under EA: We will restore your faith by making quality games with EA support.

Games still sucked under EA: You better buy the next release or EA won't let us making more of your favorite games.

Games still sucked under EA: EA closes said studio.

See the common thread.

That last part, having support of EA, is key to them accomplishing the goal. Because I think we've seen these major publishers try to fit developers underneath them into games they are not geared to make. EA has twice injured Bioware. First was with forcing them to use the Frostbite Engine to make Andromeda and then not giving them enough access to Dice engineers to make things work in the engine for RPGs and what Bioware wanted to accomplish. Andromeda had problems outside of that, but that contributed to a lot of development issues. Of course, Anthem was just an absolute disaster.

I'd love to see Bioware return to form and as long as their parent company allows them to do so, I think they can. Time will tell, but I hope we do get another amazing Mass Effect trilogy in the future. The only indication that EA might actually let Bioware do this is how EA let Respawn make Fallen Order as completely single player AND let them use the Unreal engine, instead of forcing them to use Frostbite.

That's a tall order considering the enormous inoperable tumor that you've got attached to you that somehow is shaped in the letters of E and A.

Hope he means it.still though part of me doesn't believe him.

I'll believe it, once I see it. Words are cheap and Bioware has failed too often, to still get the benefit of the doubt.

It all sounds real good. Now walk the walk.

They don't need to prove themselves. They already did with Mass Effect 1, which is in the top 3 for greatest games of all time. They made their mark, then EA gobbled them up with ball throw money. EA isn't a developer or a producer, it's a mafia. They extort developers. They don't even consider themselves part of the gaming industry, it's just another front. There should be laws against such things but you all love capitalism so much I won't even bother arguing it. Hope you enjoy watching everything you ever loved decay right before your eyes over the greed of the few.

Easy return Mass Effect and Dragon Age to story rich single player experiences we will gladly pay $70 for it.

Actions speak louder than words

When THE game series you're most consistently praised for, for 20 years, is given to someone else... Ouch

That said, Baldir's Gate 3 is in great hands, and they actually care about tactical + fun RPGs.

Bioware isn't even a shadow of what it used to be over a decade ago. Releasing a great re-master of an already great trilogy isn't the same thing as making a new Mass Effect but hey, maybe they can pull it off? I really want to be optimistic about this but I just can't do it.

I said it a long long time ago after Bioware kept giving us the middle finger with their shitty nickel and diming MT/woke shit/insults---don't be surprised when we give the middle finger right back. I ain't buying shit from y'all, that's for sure. Yea, I'm petty. I don't forget and I sure as hell don't forgive. Who's begging now mofos? XD XD XD
