The only hope I have for Dreadwolf is that it finally puts Bioware out of its misery. How EA has let them limp along this long is amazing - they’ve Ol’ Yeller’d studios for much less in the past - and I assume at this point they’re kept around solely because EA is running out of studios to shitcan.
The only reason Inquisition did well is because it came out before Witcher 3. Dreadwolf doesn't have a chance post-BG3, and at least ten years after the previous installment.
Unlikely, people have high expectations for the Dragon Age brand and anything short of their idealised memories of DAThe best hope for Dreadwolf is that it pulls a "Divinityriginal sin" : A surprisingly great RPG out of nowhere that doesn't sell tens of millions but sets themselves up for a big sequel.
rigins would be disappointing. Good point, if I pumped copium to the max, I'd say the firings just indicated their stage of the project was complete, as they wanted to first write the story and dialog, then design the gameplay, and only then focus on the engine/graphics to avoid obselence.
A rising tide lifts all boats. Pathfinder WoR sold better after BG3 than before it. It has brought many people into the party RPG genre.
Give me the rainbows but i think DA : DW will be good.Unlikely, people have high expectations for the Dragon Age brand and anything short of their idealised memories of DA
You get the moon instead for thinking modern Bioware even has the chops to pull this off, especially after Anthem. (Like I get Anthem is a shooter thing which they never done before, but it was universally agreed that the story and setting, which is a supposed Bioware speciality, was a fucking letdown. And that was with a brand new setting and railroaded PVE kahntent which they could crafted an ideal story without needing to worry about the traditional RPG pitfall of having to account for player choices.)
When a good game is overhyped, you know it's going to be shit.
GTA6 would be the better game on paper, but Dreadwolf might actually end up being the better experience.
Even without the castrated stink ditch at the helm, Andromeda and Anthem were fucking cack, the gameplay leaks earlier this year and Mark Darrah's occasional insights on his youtube channel it's exactly what you'd fear. The transition to generic action combat inspired by, wait for it, God of War?!? This all looks like they've ditched proper party mechanics and character building, any semblance of being a crpg basically. Add in the concept art they have released being neon gay toon shit and that goddawful Netflix anime that came out last year, which could've easily passed for a spoof of every cancerous current year woke trope. The most recent one was the ex staff who are suing Bioware over severance did a protest outside the studio and put out this statement, bear in mind these people will have seen the state of the game. Main takeaway quote: "We strongly believe that if Dragon Age: Dreadwolf does not do as well as Bioware or EA wants at launch, there will be more, even larger layoffs." The ship is already sinking.
I seriously doubt it. Apart from maybe indie games we will never get gameplay like DA
or classic CRPGs again.
its so fucking over bros. We need to accept that Awakening was the end of the series.
I guess at least the graphics look good.
After all these years and they still have nothing to show. LMAO
It's really no different from this trailer from 2018, that's five years ago:
AT LONG LAST, A GAME THAT WILL CENTER WOMEN, MINORITIES, AND HOMOSEXUALS
