Everything we’ve heard about the behind the scenes events tells us that EA takes a very hands off approach in regards to BioWare, I actually think EA needs to be more involved, not actually taking over creatively but instead send in a producer to watch over development and keep an objective view of the game. I actually pondered on this after Schreier released the Anthem article. No doubt, EA has had a tangible hand in their AAA games MUST having an online/live service component, but everything else largely stems from the studio itself. Though I'd still prefer EA be hands off, I wonder how ME:A and Anthem would have turned out if someone from on-high came in at year two to see how conceptualization (for both projects) was going. I feel like, in a situation like this, you'd probably want to also ask the developers who aren't in a managerial position as well (and under anonymity - of course) to gauge how they feel as well. The thing is when it comes to an online component or live service component developers understand why the publishers want them and the reasoning behind it, so its probably not even EA forcing the issue those items are already problem in the proposal to begin with and in a fashion the developers feel would best suit the game. On the old boards a BioWare employee once stated that even Dragon Age: Origins would qualify as something they would consider an online/live service component because the flash game tied into the game itself and helped generate more interest in the game. I have even heard the argument that The Keep and Archives could be considered those things as well because it allows players to alter their prior games to a fashion to help generate interest in playing the games again. So just because publishers want those things added into the games don't rule out developers working on ways that aren't a bad experience for players either. [edit] As I have mentioned before players actively complained about the lack of online play with Mass Effect when the first game was released and were actively wanting a way that they could play the game. Mass Effect 3 wasn't exactly what players wanted, but it might have also been the best way to get it to work within the confines of the game itself. Not to mention the success they had with ME3MP shows there is an interest in a BioWare game with features like that, not everyone will feel the same way about content of course. [/edit] It sounds like they had something like that with the visits from Patrick Soderlund for he was the one that made sure Anthem had flying components. The problem really is the chain of command, EA is there as the publisher and expects the studios to know their business. Its why even with its problems BioWare Edmonton is still around, but after only one game BioWare Montreal is gone. BioWare Montreal sounded like from the reports that its leadership was ego driven and it cost the franchise instead of realizing what is possible they just figured they could still get it all done even when making Frostbite do something it wasn't designed for with procedural content.

History appears to show that EA has not done Bioware any favors:
I hope EA learns from its past mistakes, but can a leopard change its spots, and let Bioware make an excellent game without EA micromanagement?
Foe. If EA was under a different management, things would've been a lot different.

I remember those threads on the old BSN around the time of DA 2, alls I can say is I hope all those who said that EA would runin Bioware feel vindicated. I remember some of them Even arguing with Ginder and the other Devs on there.

Strange how ME is known as epic when ME3 is littered with nothing but fetch quests which Shepard picks up via passing people and listening to their conversations. If those games were brought out now, Witcher fan boys would do nothing but trash it. TBH they trash anything tha tisn't the Witcher.They just seem to get some perverse pleasure out of it. Fan boys, indeed. How tribal of you both. Maybe they just like RPGs and point out that CDPR did a lot right, particularly in areas that BioWare was once hailed as best in the industry for- world building, characters, story, side quests, etc. I enjoyed the Witcher games, particularly 3, but take no pleasure in BioWare apparently having lost their way somewhat. Rather I hope BioWare can rise to challenge of a major competitor. Ideally by trying to show they can do all these things even better. At least I hope BioWare and EA are paying enough attention to notice that it’s still possible to have an immensely successful AAA single player RPG with all the elements they were once particularly renowned for. In fact it’s largely because the Witcher 3 did so well that I have some hope that BioWare can turn things around for DA4. As for picking up fetch quests by evesdropping. Yes, that was substandard and deserves to be criticized.

But yes the Witcher games aren' tbad but I think i tdepends moer on wha tyou lik eas the Witcher and DA aer 2 entierl ydifferent franchises. In DA fo rexample ypo uwander around with a team backing you up wheras Geral ton the other hand fo rthe most part does everything on his own. So there aer differences it's just dependen ton what you like whilst I thimk both series have merits I personally prefer DA

I mean some people are pretty tribal when it comes the Witcher 3 and it creates massive flamewars in which the mods have to constantly shut down. There's praising CDPR and then there's becoming zealots, for too long in this site it sometimes it sadly goes to the latter.

If EA caters to their shareholders rather than anyone else, it's about time I become a shareholder. Hopefully EA will treat me better as a shareholder than as a gamer, if anything a good EA play presentation might actually help me here. Anyway, if Bioware could just forego using Frostbite altogether and use UE4 instead for example, maybe we could have better games than some hacked together pieces of crap (mainly referring to ME:A and Anthem, I loved Inquisition with all its flaws).
Unreal Engine 5 is the bomb!

Other publishers would have pushed all of those complaints into the game, but it seems like people are laser focused on what EA is doing and not Activision or Microsoft going by the content created over the years. You don't see people bringing back up all the firings that Activision made at Blizzard when the stock values looked to be dropping or that Microsoft brutalized Fable on a regular basis such as the Kinect only game.

As for picking up fetch quests by evesdropping. Yes, that was substandard and deserves to be criticized. It's an entirely different thing however, to criticize a bad gameplay mechanic and another to say "I didn't like your story. Change it" Some fans deffinitely need to find out how the relationship between developer and consumer actually works

One of the developers in a now deleted tweet called out the people being negative about the game "CHUDs". There were more negative videos about the beta test of Anthem then a developer attacking naysayers of their product. Not to mention the abuse the copyright system has been experiencing since the leak of the videos, I have seen screenshots of a copyright takedown on a video and then it being removed and then a few hours later its reapplied. Its not that I don't think EA deserves the criticism it gets, but I think other publishers and developers deserve the same spotlight shone of them for their actions are just as bad where plenty of times they seem to get a slap on the wrist and then ignored.

It will be interesting to see how CD Project does making a game that doesn't already have a wealth of pre-written lore and characters.
I haven't exactly been blown away by Cyberpunk so far.

It sounds like they have one of the people that created the PnP Cyberpunk game working on Cyberpunk so they are going to be using that lore, but how well it comes together is something that can only be known when playing the final product. I do wonder how many people that play this will have experience with the PnP for that is going to be my biggest hurdle because I will be subconsciously making those comparisons because I have so many years of playing Cyberpunk with my friends.

It's a shame no other developer has attempted to make a space opera RPG like Mass Effect. Bioware are the only show in town if you want a game in that genre. Hopefully Starfield will scratch that itch. And they're the ones who fucked up the franchise and made it worse when they released Andromeda. And they have 5 years to make this game and it looks like a complete mess. Oh it was Andromeda? I thought it was the endings? Seessh perhaps fans aren't a hive mind after all!
