I know right? Andromeda is out. Where is our damn bone? Unfortunately, I think we have a wee bit of a wait yet... They haven't even formally announced the Secret IP yet! Any idea when they could? Mike Laidlaw mentioned once something about not revealing the game 6 months before it's ready for release... sooo - October?

Hard to say... but if I were to guess, I'd say we'll get a Secret IP announcement trailer at EA Play (June 10-12) - just because it's such a big event for them. Then maybe a bit of a wait before they start deep-diving into it later in the year.

I wish they did - even if only to sate my curiosity But every time I waited for E3 and expected something substantial (either in terms of presentation or impact) from Bioware, it didn't really materialize

Could someone give me a breakdown of which game each studio is currently working on? Thanks From what we know: Edmonton: Secret IP mainly, some guys beginning something else which is clearly a new Dragon Age; Montreal: Mass Effect Andromeda, patches and possibly future content; Austin: Star Wars the Old Republic content. There are rumors of a new game by Bioware Austin, but we haven't seem anything aside from some career postings.

There are rumors of a new game by Bioware Austin, but we haven't seem anything aside from some career postings. I think the Montreal team is working on two different projects now, as of last week. Steph, who is an animator in Montreal and had been working on ME:A, tweeted that she couldn't believe she was starting a new project on Tuesday, and also that she had IP whiplash. Considering that Mike Laidlaw and Mark Darrah were in Montreal for a good chunk of last week, it is not outside the realm of possibility that some of the Montreal people are working on Dragon Age in some capacity. However, considering that the Secret IP is coming out earlier, they might also be working on that.

Considering that Secret IP release schedule is early in 2018 I suppose it's not crazy to suspect that the game is in playable state, on its way to refinement - it's possible then that the devs necessary for earlier stages can start hopping to DA team. We do know that devs linked with DA franchise have been travelling to mocap studio, so they are doing something that requires animations already - certainly not cinematics, but there are way many more things that need animations aside from cinematics...

Montreal might have some people helping with the Secret IP, as Edmonton did lend some people so that Montreal met the deadline.
You know, I was thinking what I would see the three Bioware studios doing in the near future:
Edmonton - This is still the main Bioware studio. So I hope they keep doing Dragon Age, my favorite franchise, while trying new IPs here and then. Like a Steampunk or an horror RPGs.
Montreal - Andromeda might be divisive, but I'm still hearing good words from fans and I will see for myself in two weeks (delayed in Brazil, sadly). Mass Effect was always a hot topic, so I was already expecting mixed reactions (Though I was expecting an 85 on Metacritic, not 75). But I hope it sells enough for the studio to keep going strong and that they learn a lot from this experience. I'm not sure for now it would be good for them to try new IPs, but sequels are a good fit. Perhaps instead of an Andromeda sequel, they might try their hand on a Jade Empire 2? That would be awesome beyond words, and without all the giant expectations of other Bioware franchises.
Austin - I'm a fan of the Old Republic. Keep doing this but while EA still have the Star Wars rights, they should totally do a new KOTOR. C'mon, everyone is there already and the team has a lot of knowledge on the lore. I imagine a KOTOR 3 is out of question (KOTOR 1 and 2 no longer Canon, D&D system no longer the oficial Star Wars table rpgs). But a new series, perhaps a couple hundred years after The Old Republic.

I don't understand why people keep conflating these ME issues with DA ones. DAI facial animations were fine. I'd say that the facial expressions and level of emotion for all three games have been pretty damn good. If that's anything to go by, I don't think we have anything to worry about for the hypothetical DA4.

This is actually old, April of 2015, but just recently packaged up into a "moment". twitter.com/i/moments/844959775003623424(Numbering below is intentional) Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah Why aren't we answering?! So reasons why we may not answer your question: 1. We can not because of a contractual obligation 2. We can not because of SEC or other regulatory laws 3. The information would trigger a revenue recognition issue 5. We don't know the answer 6. We are avoiding bad news. We try to avoid doing this because it rarely works out. But it does happen on occasion. 7. You asked it a way that didn't make someone want to answer. Be nice, please 8. The question got lost. This is not an excuse to SPAM your questions, however. 4. Its a surprise

While facial animation in DAI had its derpy moments I have to say it's hard for me to wrap my brain around Epler doing Solas facial expression and the subtle, nuanced differences between a romanced Solas and a not-romanced Solas in Trespasser, and what I saw in Andromeda. I like Andromeda so far, it's the first ME game for me but it's nowhere near DA levels of writing or animating. Imo.
