Mass Effect is irrelevant compared to Biowares MMO plans.

EA wants Biowares MMO. this isn't about ME or it's multiplat status(wich is inevitible) Do people have to play RE to enjoy RE4? for me i'm glad to see EA really wants the MMO Bioware makes. me i'm glad a AAA developer like Bioware is making a MMO , really has anything toped WOW? nope i'm dying to try other types of MMO's and I'm content that Bioware and EA will be bringing a MMO out that hopefully will be Cross Platform online. would be cool to have a great MMO that all consoles(except wii sorry no Harddrive) can enjoy and play together.

So thats what the topics about Biowars future MMO anyone else Anticipating it?

i'm tired of midearth MMO's so hopefully Bioware will put a Sci Fi MMO together

we dont even know anything about it.

Well, as for your argument "Do people have to plat RE to enjoy RE4?" That may be the case for RE, but if you're applying that to ME, I don't think it'll work. ME is, or was, supposed to be a trilogy, so missing the first game would take away from the following games; you could probably play the next games without the first and enjoy it, maybe, but it would be kind of pointless to do so.

As for the MMO. I can't say I'm anticipating it, but I am interested in it. If Bioware is allowed to still be Bioware, then something good could come of this game. So I am waiting to see what happens.

Are we talking about Dragon Age here or some other MMO?GoodkupoBan

MMO's are the worst thing to happen to gaming

agreed with deathtrap90 ^

MMOs arent fun they are just addicting...Who really thinks its fun to run an instance for a couple of months only to gear up to get more gear to gear up to get even more gear etc (noticing a trend yet?giving gamers impossible goals keeps them playingxP )

Dragon Age is still an RPG.

I liked the idea that WAR was putting forward (PVP based) but it looks to me like it is more or less the same old kill 20 bears grind

Don't you mean compared to NCSoft's MMO plans? Heres a question..what is the highest selling MMO ever? Heres another hint..its not World of Warcraft.Runningflame570

guild wars, diablo 2, balders gate, everquest? i dont know.

im not a fan of mmo anymore, but tabula rasa looks really good.

What was it then? I was under the impression Guild Wars and the Lineage series hadn't sold more than WoW.

Edit: Oh Lineage 2 + Lineage 1, now I get it.

That is why I said "may be the case" because I haven't played RE.

And I would be very pleased if EA put both games on a blu-ray disc.

I think, if EA doesn't screw up Bioware at all, this deal could be very helpful for the Ps3.

Which one is it? Lineage? UO?

[QUOTE="TheCrazed420"]Baldur's Gate Online. They would own my soul if that was announced.peacebringer

I still think it can be turn-based, but more with the D & D rules from the original games. But make it a sort of turn-based/real-time hybrid, almost like FF's ATB system. Either way, an MMO where I can tear up the Sword Coast and go on adventures with Minsc & Boo would be a great game indeed. And I would be interested to see Bioware's take on the MMO. I got a feeling that this game would be the one to finally dethrone WoW and inject some originality back in the MMO genre

FTR Lineage and Tabula Rasa really just hasn't been getting very good previews from a lot of people. :/

Danm_999

Guild Wars doesn't, although its certainly close. WoW has the largest active subscriber base by a green country mile, but Lineage & Lineage II combined have done 43 million in sales and Lineage II isn't anywhere near as successful as Lineage...

Which one is it? Lineage? UO?

lordxymor

Yep Lineage.

As a past MMO player, I can hardly see how this can be considered a certainty.. The entire MMO market is inflated, I have seen more MMO releases or announcements in the past year then almost any other genre.. We certainly do not need another MMO, inless Bioware proves to be a solid maker of a MMo, this is just another standard run of the mill mmo in my eyes.sSubZerOo

The problem with the genre; due to the monthly costs, very large amounts of time required and dependancy on a large playerbase, there's little room for many MMORPGs. Basically, another MMORPG as successfull as WoW can't really exist right now if WoW does.

Yep the amount of time necessary to dedicate to MMOs, especially if theres a paid subscription limits the number of entrants in the market that can actually be successful and as it the genre is overcrowded with a ton of tiny and unsuccessful games.

Thats a big IF, remember the last MMO for both PC and Xbox360? Final Fantasy XI was by no means a successful game.

thats the the thing your not understand this is EA. they can maybe work around monthly fees.
peacebringer

No monthly fees helps, but it still doesn't solve the problem of time. Most people in the US are either playing WoW or Guild Wars with some other games like Anarchy Online or LoTR Online taking up others..I'm not sure what they can do to cannibalize those populations, although as always I welcome a new unique entry in the market.

Thats a big IF, remember the last MMO for both PC and Xbox360? Final Fantasy XI was by no means a successful game.

sSubZerOo

Ehh, it did okay but its definitely no worldbeater.

Monthly fees should not be a problem its a bogus excuse.. Put in perspective that the majority of games out there last no where near the amount of a MMO.. $15 equates to 50 cents a day on average.. This is dirt cheap if your putting in hundreds upon hundreds of horus of time, far more then the average $50 to $60 game can give you.. In the end to me the $15 is shirked off either by kids or the stingey (spelling?)sSubZerOo

Its really not a bogus argument, theres a ton of people who having already invested $150+ in something would be less likely to switch over to another MMO and any money spent somewhere limits the amount that can be spent in another area..its basic economics. Now monthly fees aren't the end-all-be-all but they are an issue if theres too many games in the market already and people have already invested their time and money in one.

I pray they don't make a MMO gameLonelynight

[QUOTE="Lonelynight"]I pray they don't make a MMO gamepeacebringer

Well according to Gamespot they have over 800 employees. They probably hired a bunch of new people to do it so it sould effect real game development much. The core RPG teams are still working on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

They should call it Mass(ively Multiplayer) Effect

ZING!

Oh well, as long as they keep making great singleplayer RPGs, I don't really care

yeah that would blow my mind
