They are banking on nostalgia, because nostalgia is all they have left. After so many people have left I don't even know what to expect from a new ME or DA game.

Pretty much, is anyone from their golden age still even at the studio? Makes sense why they need to rely on their past hits if they can't make any new ones

All the key story writers are gone

That “cinematic trailer” they put out last for Dreadwolf was the same - it was just narration by Varric over still image artwork done in the style of Solas’ murals. Varric is such a fan favorite that of course they had his VA do the voice over. It was pure nostalgia bait. Ditto with the outfit the woman in the N7 clip was wearing - basically just Laura’s outfit in Shep’s colors.

Sorry, but at this point, I need more than nostalgia.

The games are dead bioware is not the same it was when we got these great series. All the talent has left. Honestly the studio Spiders is the only developer that can even come close in terms of a spiritual successor to bioware, they just gotta fix the eurojank

I remember there was a teaser trailer how many years ago? With Liara in a frozen planet

when it should still be on its apology tour.

Yeah, they learned never to back down or apologize after Anthem.

When people stay mad at you after you apologize, your takeaway shouldn’t be to never apologize again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

An apology doesn't make people less mad, usually. It signals you are aware what you did is wrong or at least made people upset. People get less mad when you act differently in the future. Bioware can keep apologizing but if they keep screwing up no one's going to care.

Rockstar said they are going to show a teaser to their next GTA game in early December. They didn't say which year though.

Remember, this is not BioWare, it's just an ea puppet. The team that did the amazing games is long gone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I have no trust in Bioware with last game of theirs I bothered to get being Mass Effect 3, and being highly skeptical of Andromeda even before the memes over the launch bugs.

I never liked ME as much as previous Bioware titles and all while playing I just couldn't put my finger on what it was lacking, until EA announced their purchase, as well as it coming to light that they were already helping with ME before the purchase announcement. That's what it was. They sucked some of the passion and life out of the game. I didn't bother with the others that were entirely developed under EA. To me, the last true Bioware game was Jade Empire.
