So, Anthem has been delayed. *sigh* Looking at the comments on the Kotaku piece is depressing for me as a fan; I can't imagine what it must be like for an employee.

and Mass Effect? I noticed that too... ... well at least Dragon Age is still on there. But Anthem has been delayed and that made me think of a question. Does anyone know when last Bioware made a game that wasn't delayed? It seems like it's been a while.

It seems like it's been a while. Don't hold me to this....but DA2? Given how close it was to Origins, I can't believe that it was delayed in the slightest. Again - not 100%, just guessing based on release dates.

Again - not 100%, just guessing based on release dates. I remember ME3 was delayed, but I bought DA2 long after it came out. I just looked it up... don't see anything immediately that indicates DA2 came out late. So it's basically been since 2011 that a Bioware game hasn't been released without delays. Wait I take that back. Origin (2009) was delayed, it seems. Bioware Confirms Dragon Age: Origins Delay kotaku.com/5333098/bioware-confirms-dragon-age-origins-delayIf I were near the top at EA I'd be looking at EA/Bioware management and trying to find a common denominator behind these rollout issues. Something is clearly wrong.

Why can't they just delay the damn thing until AFTER Dragon Age? It would make everyone happier. They'd have more time to experiment/work on this new IP/Destiny Clone not sucking and making all the money, and Dragon Age would get it's way-too-long-awaited sequel after they left us with a friggen cliff hanger.

Just going to come out of lurking to say this. Dragon Age 2 was delayed by about a month. Physical copies of Dragon Age: Awakening came with a small card advertising a February release for Dragon Age 2. The game released in March.

Agreed. Learn from SE and take Anthem the FF15 route, I say. Keep it in dev so long the main character has grown facial hair if it means a good launch.

I said the same thing yesterday. But I guess those Anthem lootboxes won’t sell themselves. They probably want to try to capitalize on the success of games like Destiny before people get tired of them. Plus it has already been in development for a long time so I'm sure they want to start getting something out of it sooner rather than later. Having said that, I'm not sure it was the best business decision to line up MEA and Anthem back to back like this. With MEA it was an inexperienced studio taking the franchise in a somewhat different direction, so even though it was an established successful IP, there were a lot of risks. Anthem is even riskier being a completely new IP and appears to be unlike anything BioWare has ever done before. I also imagine it has been incredibly expensive to develop. The safer route would've been to line up DA4 in between MEA and Anthem so you get that "guaranteed" revenue from an anticipated game in a successful franchise (following up on a highly praised/awarded game). I have to think they considered this at some point. Usually businesses don't like to take that many risks, at least not without a safety net (DA4 in this case). From the sounds of it, DA4 could be in danger if Anthem fails though. I feel like that was unnecessary with proper planning / release cycles, but it is hard to know what is going on behind the scenes that may have dictated this release cycle.

And it's not like they've been focusing on DA this whole time so it's gonna be eeeextra special good, they're literally just like, "nah we'll wait." What happened to 'It'll happen when it'll happen' or 'I'll wait longer if it means we're going to get a polished game'? I mean - I'm about as impatient as everyone else, but I seem to recall people mention that not that long ago...
