Casey Hudson returns to BW, Flynn leaves.

RGB ending for Andromeda 2 confirmed.

Not a big case of Mr. Hudson but honestly, how worse could the Bioware situation get at this point?

inb4 things get worse


P.S. And good luck to Aaryn who indeed, always looked like a pretty nice dude.

Funny, as I was just currently searching for stuff on Casey Hudson this past 1 hour or so.

As a fellow sci-fi fan I'm very glad Casey Hudson is back. Mass Effect wouldn't have happened without him and his love for sci-fi. Not to mention how Andromeda went to total shit without him.

Quarians confirmed?

Some good points but holy shit man.  "Have".

It's possible, though it is Microsoft we're dealing with here. They [Microsoft] likely saw Casey as a valuable asset to them in some manner, so Bioware/EA probably would have had to of shelled out a lot of money to get him back.

Hudson as a director for hololens and xbox side of things likely was a two way street, he gets to help them realise their goal and in turn takes that knowledge back with him to bioware (and thus EA) so they can be better at making superb games (graphically speaking at least) and given how fast he moved back from micorsoft its not likely that he ever stopped being part of EA...




indeed if anyone can he will rescue the franchise and probably put the A team back on the job for sorting it out, along with the next dragonage, and highly likely that anthem will be brought into the me fold since that's clearly where it belongs, who knows maybe they will fix the problems of lore breaking that walters n co undertook to make mea.... we can only hope this is the case

as for the RGB ending of me3, the only downside was how frigging long it was, the crucible attaches and then the reapers go mental smashing up everything they can while shep stands around lollygagging for an age, clearly the only true option was destroy (because that's what the whole point of stopping the reapers was) so having the other options didn't make any sense story wise, unless you screwed up during the earlier missions and became indoctrinated and went then got a different ending..... the fact shepard is still breathing after the crucible crashes to earth is a miracle although maybe not so much given its shepard....so another game could of been had with a new more menacing enemy faction or just a new bad guy to hunt down.... TIM died so Cerberus is no more, pretty much everything about the whole thing is ripe for a cannon ending of destroy, even if he did proclaim that synthesis was the preferred ending (because it pandered to transhumanist ideology) he could of walked that one back as "just trolling you all"

He did very well with ME series sans 3 ending. I hope they brought him back not solely for the ten-year Anthem run.

All hail messiah? Will he bring the holy grail back?

I'm in the "didn't mind Aaryn Flynn" camp and pretty lukewarm to Casey Hudson. Let's see where this goes - best of luck to Aaryn Flynn in any case.

The series is forked, so no.

Hudson also signed off on RGB and bailed in the middle of MEA and is one of the primary people who approved of "let's go to the next galaxy".

Hudson is a logistician, literally the "ideas guy", him replacing Flynn does nothing for this series or Dragon Age, which is already in the hardening phase.

It also does not much for Anthem since that's already in the what is this going to absolutely be phase, and EA has already flat out said after MEA what they want out of BW.

Hudson runs a tighter ship and is more focused on incremental advancements with solid milestone schemes, Flynn is more regarded as a "nice guy" who is all about "social consciousness" and we see pretty plainly where that got us via Manveer's absurd descent from brilliant but lazy outspoken guy from Raven to full on "KOOLAIDS DONE GOT DRANKED Y'ALL" twitteratti (or twittertwattti)

ME is still done, Dragon Age will still benefit more from the fact there will be almost no western competition in its genre than because it's a "brilliant gaming setpiece" and contrary to magical SP poster theories, it won't redefine video games as we know it because of social justice softcore titty flashes and that one scene with 3 seconds of both human and qunari manbutt in it.

The only direct impact right now is Anthem will be better polished at launch than it would have been, and for anyone thinking "now BW will get back to the way it was" is full on delusional.

Hudson is not Hideo Kojima and he is not Naoki Yoshida and he is not Ken Levine.
