Source.Any clue as to what this could mean for DA4? I'm confused about the use of "live service." A delay on the New IP could potentially affect DA4 as over half their team was working on it (when we last heard). The New IP appears to be catering to the Destiny crowd, so that's what they mean by live service (online).

Source.I'm confused about the use of "live service." I asked @shackleshotgun on Twitter, as she's a Destiny streamer. She suggested that it's most likely an MMO-esque project.

Mike Laidlaw @mike_LaidlawWatch this space. There's a non-zero chance I'm going to be linking to some new level design jobs here in Edmonton in the next few days. Andy White @white Please look at everything they did in Andromeda, and do the absolute opposite. Mike Laidlaw @mike_LaidlawNo spaceships, no party, no gender choice, no dialog, no walking, jumping, or combat at all. Got it!

* monumental sigh*
I really hope this delay doesn't mess with the timeline for the next DA game too much. I'm trying to keep an open mind, but I have less than zero interest in an online-focused game. Time will tell, I suppose.

John Epler @eplerjc Hey! If you had questions about the BW job posting, I'll be getting to them tonight - just getting my daughter to bed.
Alright! Some general answers before I get to questions by specific people.
1) This is not a writing job. Storytelling is a big component, but more on the cinematics side. Narrative fundamentals are a big +. 2) Job is not strictly (or even primarily) cinematics. Lot of in-game storytelling. Work with animation, level design. 3) Technical knowledge is a plus. Don't need to be a coder, but some grasp of visual scripting (kismet) is fantastic. 4) Collaboration is +++ - being able to work with diverse multidisciplinary groups is a huge plus. Interpersonal skills help a lot! 5) Communication! Be a good communicator. This is so important, but often overlooked. 6) Theatre acting is fantastically useful Lots of the job is storytelling through gesture and pose, which theatre teaches. 7) Game design experience in general is a plus. Can you break down visual storytelling into systems? 8) Cinematics/machinima experience helps, but again - core of job is not cinematics. 9) There's a somewhat decent chance you'd be on my team. Whether that's a positive or negative is up to you. 10) We are looking for skill set more than experience, though experience makes it easier to hire if you can't currently work in Canada.

Might be OT but I feel it throws some highlights on how devs regard their works. I hope to see this in the DA team which I have much confidence in. I've been firing up Dishonored II now and then over the last few months. Not because I'm keeping tabs on what patches Arkane Studios is putting in; in fact, I didn't keep track, but because I feel like playing it.
I discovered they're continuing to add features to the game. Like NGP and recently, a in-depth adjustment to game difficulty. Players can define how the mobs will respond; whether they will see further, search longer, be more suspicious, etc. HUD displays are also adjustable. Players can adjust char's stats; the sound of footsteps, etc. I find these interesting and definitely will see how they play out concurrent with the char's abilities.
I hope the DA team would emulate this approach in DA4. If there is something that can improve / enhance gameplay further down the line after game launch, that they would take steps to put it in.

What are odds that da4 polevaulted over secret ip? There has been more chatter/tweets for the da team Im calling it first that the secret ip's chances just dropped by a good percentage They obviously passed a certain milestone, PLUS - they're hiring. They need to get some buzz out there (also, Knight Errant comic is released today). ...However, I don't think it's the best idea to start rushing a title in place of a title they seemingly don't want to rush and AFTER many people were disappointed with MEA which is generally considered be better of it had more polish. Besides, we don't even know how much Secret IP would be delayed - all we know is that it won't make it till EA's end of fiscal year.

John Epler @eplerjc Our IT team opened my PC to put a new hard drive in and marveled at how old my computer is. So that happened.
(They're giving me a new PC soon, but apparently I'm about 2 years past when I should've asked for one.)
