SURREEELLY BioWare CAN'T release 4 financial disasters in a row! 🙃
But Jason Schreier assured that Veilguard was not a dissatre, but a success! 😂
I think Mass Effect 5 has a better chance than VG did, assuming they don't revamp the game a million times like they did with VG. Not saying it's going to be good, but they don't have the excuse of going from single player to live service back to single player. So now we will see if there truly is any good talent left at Bioware.
@@lep2525Yh ME5 will be the first game in over a decade to not have the live service demand from EA looming over them.
I'm optimistic unless we end up learning it also ends up going through development issues.
@@lep2525All the people that made the games you like from Bioware have been long gone. They've had like 4 flops in a row now. Don't hold your breath they'll just magically get it right this time. Bioware is just a name and all the talent haven't been there in years.
It may not have been critically acclaimed but Andromeda I don’t think financially was a disaster.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t continue making Mass effect games or letting BioWare continue to produce as a studio.
They are a publicly-traded company. Therefore they have a fiduciary responsibility to make money. If an IP or studio can no longer produces profits, it will be cut.
Just how it is.
Here's my Impersonation of a dev during an interview in the future. "It's like Guardians of the Galaxy."
Thats now… in the future it will be some other random IP.
But without all the soul and passion of those movies.
I have absolutely no doubt that Corinne heard about this and then decided to find a new job before the layoff hit and deal with the blame from coworkers at the studio. This is what roaching out looks like.
corinne is likely one of the last people who should be getting blamed.
Yhe studio was a complete mess before her arrival in 2022.
Under her they atleast shipped a finished technically sound product.
Veilguard sold worse than any previous game over the past 10+ years. leadership should absolutely be held accountable for pushing the project in an unfavorable direction by people. the studio also has major problems, which is likely part of the reason such an unqualified person was chosen to direct veilguard. so the studios problem leadership and culture contributed to the problem DA leadership being hired and given free reign to push DA in a totally sideways direction from any of their other games, including any other DA game
@@Simp_Supremehis
@@Simp_Supreme*her*
@@Simp_Supremeyou may have a good point. The game had already pivoted from direct sequel to Inquisition (Dreadwolf) to a live service mmo, back to a single player game, before Corrine even stepped foot in the office. She was pretty much set up to fail from the get go, and no amount of pandering to LGBTQ+ community was going to fix that.
Mass Effect Andromeda.
Anthem.
Dragon Age Veilguard.
Three strikes, they're out.
Sad thing is anthem was actually looking to make a comeback with their entire rework and the guy in charge seemed really passionate about it. Then EA pulled the plug.
@MumboJumboZXC it would never have made a comeback. The risk were to high, better to cut the cord like concord.
You forgot DA:2, ME:3 and SWTOR. They may not have been total train wrecks across the board, but all three of them either started shite and were fixed in a panic (ME:3), started good but buggy (SWTOR) and were gutted, or were objectively terrible but got a pity pass because the writing was good (DA:2).
I've been waiting for full clear reviews and deep sale prices since ME:3 😢
Anthem actually looked cool and had potential. Was stupid to throw it away, even if they wasted a lot of money on it.
@@noctoi Inquisition was also a very mixed bag. DA: O and ME2 were their last really great games. Then EA happened.
All I can think of is how fucked the next Mass Effect is going to be and how much I wish any other Studio besides BioWare was doing it.
Check out Exodus, it’s a game coming out next year I think, being made by a bunch of ex BioWare employees that left in 2019. It looks like a spiritual successor to Mass Effect made by presumably the actually skilled BioWare devs.
Bioware, you are screwing up on a massive level. Please dont ruin the next mass effect game.
Announced in 2020. It is now 2025, and it's barely entered preproduction. That's all you need to know.
They must have a basic plot first, otherwise it will be in development hell again
I do not care. The real "Mass Effect 5" is gonna be EXODUS by the actual former LEAD devs of the old Mass Effect games. New Bioware doesn't deserve the privilege of working on the next Mass Effect.
Yes agree shame we lost two other projects by Humanoid Origins and Worlds untold due to funding cuts last year. Casey Hudson was leading Humanoid
I agree, 3 failed games is more than enough failures. I saw the trailer for EXODUS and within seconds instantly knew the "BioWare Magic" because as you stated its the OLD BioWare that we know and love. Sadly I feel for Casey Hudson's Humanoid Origins...They had potential but of course going from AAA to starting your own company in the AAA space vs the Indie space seems like a beginners mistake.
Oh damn I nearly forgot about this. I’ll have to catch up with the Legendary collection
For the people that dont now, Mike Gamble is the project Director and was previously a Producer on ME2+3+ DLCs.
Watamaniuk is the game director and was previously the Lead Game Designer on ME1-3.
Derek Watts is the Art Director, he had the same position on ME1-3
Parrish Ley is the Creative Director and worked previosuly as the Director for the Cinematrics on ME1-3
They also got MaryDeMarle as Narrative Lead/Headwriter, she previously worked on the Deus Ex Games and the Guardians Game as Narrative Lead.
Some of those guys came back to Bioware just for this Game.
Its a completely different situation compared to Veilguard, which was rebooted 3 times with different people in charge each time.
Maaan I am so hopeful but i feel that that's going to bite me in the ass eventually.
Good work highlighting this. People need to follow the actual game designers nowadays rather than the Company name.
I'm hoping for the best but ayy, we will see
Im not going to hold my breath. I will be pleseantly surprised, but I dont have the same hope.
Which makes it even *more* tragic how far they've fallen. Where did the talent and skills go...
Remember when EA put part of Bioware in a small, agile team to deliver Anthem Next? Yeah I totally believe those people moved out will be put back in and this is not a harbinger for layoffs and possibly the complete closure of Bioware.
Yep. Agile is just code speak for not giving them the people, time, or other resources they need to get the job done properly.
Hopefully they fired the right people for once. Every writer on Dragon Age, for one.
It's weird, because most of the writers for VG were writers who worked on the old games (including the original Mass Effect trilogy). I think the issue is what David Gaider brought up on Twitter. Bioware apparently 'quietly hates' their writers and thus do not want to prioritize writing or give it practically any budget. And, well, we saw how that turned out in this game.
@@lep2525writer for iron bull and tali wrote taash man 😭😭😭 what the hell happened.
Bioware usually has two lead teams anyway and the ME5 team hired the dues ex narrative director which is a plus atleast.
@@lep2525actually one of them trooned out and that’s why half the story was about identity shite so
@@2xRainb0wyup. The message can still get in when if it's the old people
Look at the doom guy Jaffy he's a total lunatic now.. but message based games long ago
Even original devs can be corrupted
@@2xRainb0wthis pretty much. I actually liked Taash as a character but it’s clear where the self inset came in
It would be the biggest red flag if they brought back shepard. I really want this to succeed but please leave the old cast alone. I am already scared about what they are gonna do to Liara. I really like mass effect so I hope they don't blow it.
Yeah after the board game, scared about what they do to the asari
@@stevebachochin2038 wait wtf, I just saw her or I guess "them" in the board game. if they wanna make characters like this then they should just make a new franchise and not ruin the established lore
I would really want the game to be set far enough in the future to where every character that isn't from a long-lived species is dead. I don't want to see Grandma Tali, or if they did the more embarrassing thing which is making her close to her 40s or something,
And for me I want the story to revolve around Shepherd's kids, you're always going to be under the shadow of Shepherd anyway and if you do it that way you can have the through line of legacy and expectation, which will already be there anyway because Shepard is so legendary that whatever big evil bad guy you're fighting you will still hear the "oh my God I wish Shepherd was around." So you might as well lean into it and if they do it that way they can have multiple races and I think people would think that is decently cool,
And I agree I hope they don't do the bringing Shepherd back, the only way I think they should do that is if they do (and I bet they're going to.) a clone contingency plan that liara made using the shadow brokers resources so that way a better clone can come out and ready the next cycle so that way they don't repeat the same mistakes if they failed, which then would result in a story of the false man and all the bullshit that would come with it and I think they would do that before the shepherd's kids... I love Shepard but I would really want to move on, because that's just so much more entertaining for me. But if they had to bring him back because they can't think of anything else I would want them to do that instead of he's just alive again for some reason.
They will never use Ashley Williams to explain what "pulling a barf" exactly means, right?..... right?
@@mubeenashraf6153 lmao you really think these idiots wont make trash?
Nothing is so willfully obtuse and truth-twisting as statements made by politicians and corporations
To be entirely fair they should have just said "They made Veilguard so we are laying the incompetents out because we don't want them polluting other projects" which would have gone over worse though tbf xD
@@DivinityOfBLazeThe fact anyone sees this as anything but this is crazy. These people made 3 bombs in a row losing tons of money
Nobody and I mean NOBODY wants a Mass Effect sequel from a modern Bioware studio. We all know it will be complete dog shit if they try. Just don't, EA.
Even if EA handed it off to another studio, it'll just end up dogshit anyway.
They need a whyguy, a person who has as their task to ask why whenever anyone on the team comes with a dumb idea, if they can not give a really good answer that idea is thrown in the garbage where it belongs. And should they still push for their dumb idea slapguy enters whos only task is to slap some sense into them.
They could release a "Dreadwolf" DLC for free that consists of an animation of a giant wolf killing and eating the entire cast of the game while it uninstals and completely scrubs the game of your system registry.
BioWare is already dead.
They couldn't make Dragon Age work. They spent almost 10 years developing 3 Dragon Age games, of which they thought Veilguard was the best.
They couldn't make a new IP work. The best part of Anthem was actually EA's idea.
The last Mass Effect game was boring slop.
Bro if they had 10 motherfrikin' years to make Dragon Age the Veilguard and they still manage to feck things up I don't have a single drop of hope in my soul Bioware is still capable of making an actual good Mass Effect game, no matter how many "veterans" they name in those announcements.
I'm ready to be wrong. I HOPE I'm wrong...
But I don't think I am.
The problem came from how many times they had to change the game. It shifted genre multiple times in development. There was never a chance it was going to be profitable after so much time was pissed away.
Concept for Dreadwolf sounded really cool
@@Cloud92390 A live service DA game? Doesn't sound good to me.
@2:45 To be fair they probably used ChatGPT to corporatize the post in the first place, so this was just an Undo action.
Lol
I just wish they use corporate speak for everything instead of saying dumb things or even going against customers
if teh next mass effect is still onl8y in early developement then that is really shocking! they revealed it with trailers many years ago at this point! its so hard to be a mass effect fan, they had something so special with eth orginal trilogy, how do you fuck that up? :/
oh shit, i completely forgot the teaser.
Damn, who knows if that teaser will even be relevant come release day.
Disney owns a lot of money making ips, look how they are messing up starters, avengers etc
Simple: Anyone talented walks out the door, Bioware only has untalented low productivity seat warmers remaining.
You stop while you’re ahead. That’s how you don’t f it up.
But people always demand more. And corporations always go where theres money to be made. So then they give a teaser to shut them up even though it isn’t ready. Then people are mad when it takes forever lol
I would not expect the next Mass effect to be any better than Andromeda was, frankly. I liked Andromeda but I accept it for what it is.
Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard. Please just stop😥
Damn crazy right
so basically veilguard probably lost 100 million+ because they're 50% below expectations, FIFA games are failing due to predatory features and Apex (73% of EAs revenue) has lost 70% of it's player base in one year due to the same issue. did I miss anything EA? no wonder investors are pulling their money and running from EA
This whole statement is very telling. They must have been *REALLY* hoping that Veilguard would turn out to be successful because why in the world does a dev studio have to put out a statement basically reassuring the public that they're doing their jobs, and that everything is fine? And they say this after they canceled any development on DLC for the Veilguard after it flopped, which would imply that work on ME5 would have been a lot slower because they would have had their resources split. What a fucking mess.
The last time BioWare stripped down a team to "refocus" and be "more agile" was when they were "redeveloping" Anthem.
Which they give up on within a few months.
DA: Veilguard was fine, but it needed to be a lot more than that after Andromeda underwhelmed and Anthem was a complete disaster.
This all might be part of the usual cycle, but my hopes for BioWare's future are sadly slimming.
Only 3 DA Keep choices and they brought back cameos who couldn't even remember their past. Isabela came back and her whole damn plot is being a glorified babysitter to the growling nonbinary cringelord.
Not even a SINGLE mention of Hawke or past events by either Isabella or Varric. And they tried to censor testers from reporting on the issue of the worldstates before release, they knew old time fans would be PISSED and might reconsider buying the game. I sure did.
"Yeah, we screwed up, and we need your money again"
They need to bring in people that are actually willing to give and take suggestions and criticism during development. Pretty sure if they had any of those on the writing team for Veilguard it would have done much better
It's an excuse to boot people from the DA team. ME has been churning for years now. They just don't want to transfer the people with DA stink onto the ME team
I think you are absolutely right about this.
Honestly, the less people who worked on Veilguard work on Mass Effect, the better for Mass Effect and everyone. That Shouldn't be a controverial thing to say...
i just saw that one of the lead writters as laid off so...yeah.
same, damn. There's officially no more writers from Pre-2016 Bioware anymore.
Trick was the lack one.
@@Simp_Supreme to be honest, DAO was the game that made me like rpgs, and after veilguard o really feel like the franchise is dead, so... i've got no hopes for mass effect.
They should really try a new IP, no more sequels, they're already stale. Try something new!
Bioware really is returning to form. Unfortunately, that form is "before the studio was founded".
2:48 ChatGPT saying exactly what we are all thinking 😂😂
Edit: well, writer layoffs confirmed
I love that Chatgpt translation lol
Here’s how I interpret this in corporate speak. I don’t see this as a good thing.
Like he mentioned, they probably didn’t renew contracts and might also have a hiring freeze for new talent. Makes sense, given it’s still early in development.
Agile definitely is code for lean though. Regardless of what your thoughts on DAV’s writing or tone, it had pretty high production values. Motion-cap, voice acting, environments etc.
They’ve likely adjusting their sales expectations for Mass Effect and pulling the funds & investments that would have gone into it and into something else that has a better projected return.
Their goal is mostly to make a profitable game, not a good one. So you need to consider how much to invest X to make back Y.
I think this means we can expect an Andromeda 2.0 rather than a Mass Effect 1-3. Andromeda imo is a good game, but it is not a masterpiece. And they don’t need to make masterpieces. They just need to make a profit.
Personally & selfishly, I prefer western RPGs or single player third person, action adventure games, even if they are just good or god-forbid “average”, so I’m still fine with it & hope they aren’t shut down. I’d rather EA make those than shooters, sport franchise # 25, mmo, or micro-transaction filled gambling stimulators..
But I really don’t think people should be expecting 10/10 RPGs from EA. The old guard when they were acquired is mostly gone or likely no longer has the free rein in decision making that an independent studio would have.
This is kind of a good thing. It's a good way of resetting the culture and building a new team, with older devs who worked on the original trilogy steering the ship. Genuinely, I have a bit more hope for Mass Effect now.
BREAKING NEWS: Actions have consequences 🙃
Is the pattern recognition part of the brain beaten out of you when you join triple A? The therapy writing and slay queen moves aren't going away.
Senor Bioware is not feeling too well today, it seems. lol. I heard Mass Effect and panicked. The familiar names gave me some comfort.
Luke nailing it from the 3-point lin; with a BASED chat-gpt backing him up!! You love to see it!
It sounded to me a little like acknowledgement that they let the actual programmers leave and kept the wrong people on to build their games, and a bit of a reversal of that. It's a shame it took putting Dragon Age to the flame for them to finally see that but I'm hopeful for ME.
The execs didn't think Veilguard was 'slay.' They trusted others to tell them it was. Those people have been let go and the people telling them whats good are some of teh old guard so Im hopeful. Execs dont know shit
They said it nicely but what really happened is that EA decided Bioware can't handle more than one thing at a time, and they are overstaffed for just Mass Effect. But at least they are going elsewhere instead of let go.
I don't think it's a stretch to say that this is a strong signal that this next one hits or they're done.
Fun fact. The same dev that wrote Taash in Veilguard is the same dev who wrote Mordin Solus from ME2.
we can only hope the studio shutters before they can ruin the asari and turn the korgan into stand ins for the Ts
Oh my god shut up and stop getting mad about things that haven't happened.
Watch the turn the krogan into an allegory for black people, it’s not their fault they are a product of their environment
@@Meowtropeople are just recognizing a pattern of behavior
@@kalecraft8906a pattern seen in 4 outta 100 games is not a pattern porky.
Wrex with lipstick
Ending to DA:VG shows that Dragon Age story is over and we do not really want them to fudge it up further. Rest in peace
Bioware has been trash now for a long time. They haven't made a good game in over 10 plus years. Who cares about the company when all the people that made the studio great have been long gone? It's the people that make the games great, not the company name and the people that made the bioware games you like are long gone.
If mass effect is fucked I’m exiting my body and entering a temporal form to haunt the executives of BioWare
Nah, you should haunt the shitbag co-founders for choosing EA to sell to.
It seems that they’re going to cut off the fat. I really hope mass effect 5 is a good game but my expectations are low
Bioware is dead. At this point now they're probably going down into Battlefield mine
I'm expecting the next Mass Effect to surpass my expectations. But that's because my expectations are currently at 0 degrees Kelvin.
The game absolutely bombed, and now the devs are paying the price. The execs should be held accountable for allowing this turd to be made, but the people who came up with it in the first place should also be made accountable, and will be.
Failguard was not a roller coaster, it was absolute dogshit from start to finish, gamers took one look at it and knew it was done
Bioware, Ubisoft and Bethesda... I mean... No more to say about them... destroying franchises since I don't remember anymore... Poor Dragon Age, Poor Mass Effect and soon to be poor Elden Scrolls.
I love the mass effect series, my favourite video games ever, I was so excited about the new one, as time goes on I’m getting more and more sceptical, now I just don’t want them to make it
Tragic that they only started building a new future for BioWare after completely destroying the Dragon Age IP.
Yeah I won't play any Dragon Age games if Veilguard lore remains canon.
EA should really just give Mass Effect to some other studio and make BioWare start anew with some smaller new project
We tried to tell them. They insisted on finding out.
AI left out the part "We promise this is just like the old games, here are some familiar names so it is totally 100% like the old ones! Just don't notice that most of them weren't there for all of them or were in positions that didn't necessarily cause Andromeda's failure." Whenever a studio throws around old name I get suspicsious of the quality.
Make Gamble: Producer since ME2 now directior- not necessarily bad, but not good either.
Preston Waramaniuk: Designer - not bad but it wasn't the weakness of Andromeda.
Derek Watts: Art design- again, wasn't a weak area The art style holds up but that wasn't a failure.
Parrish Ley: Cinematic Director of the original 3- wasn't around for Andromeda, so oddly this could be a good sign!
So we got 1 for 4 when it comes to good signs with these vets. Be wary.
10:20 - are they “veterans of Mass Effect” or are they the people who worked on Andromeda..? 👀
At this point if they mess the next mass effect up they may as well shut the studio down.. sad times!
You know its serious when he whips out microsoft paint
What Veilguard reminded me of was Marvel Midnight Suns. But that had the excuse of actually being a Marvel game.
Skill Up gave the warning shot on Veilguard that BioWare didn't expect. They saved a lot of people money, lol.
I played dragon age 1 through 3 and got a slap in face all in one year 😂😂 funny but upsetting because we may never get dragon age again because of bad employees not the game or brand ….. wtf was that ? A finger to gamers?
Aaaah ChatGPT... I love you so. It's like that blunt best friend who's always a little bit stoned but still weirdly insightful. 🤣🤣
If the sales were half of what was expected then the next budget should be about halved.
ChatGPT is amazing to be able to decipher corporate BS. This is really Bioware last chance to make a successful Mass Effect game or risk studio closure.
You know the last time EA did this
it was when they shifted DICE away from working on Battlefront 2 any further, and rather moved them over to start working on battlefield 2042....yeah this doesnt sound good
I always say - if the company is not making profit from a game, it's not only lost revenue, but years of working hours that could be invested somewhere else - basically this is double failure for the company.
My only hope for the next Mass effect game is that they do one of two things, you either play as Shepherd's kids or you play a shepherd and if you play a shepherd's kids it gives you the avenue of playing multiple races,
I was late in my interest for Mass effect I played Mass effect 2 for the PS3 and I was very confused and coming from call of duty it was controlling like a tank and I just quickly dropped that game as fast as I could, and then I ended up going back to it with the legendary edition years later and absolutely loved it,
I have played through them all and gotten every single trophy. It was awesome the thing I do worry about though is if they will be able to make a reasonable enemy for you to fight,
For me the through line of a story is already there. If you play as Shepherd's kids it is legacy and expectation, especially considering you will have some kind of big threat you need to deal with your character will inevitably have the "if your father was here." or "your mother was here." And if you're playing a Shepherd I could totally see it being some kind of Fail-Safe that was built off of some of cerberus's tech that liara found and Shepherd was supposed to be brought back for a future cycle just in case they failed and then you have the false Man story, and it would be particularly interesting because you could have him being thrown for a loop because he completed his mission but he is still around he completed his life but he is still around,
The problem is though I don't think they're going to do anything interesting with Mass effect 5 because with some of that old staff they made Andromeda. They thought they would at least make money on VG and that tells me all I really need to know because that means they don't know what they're doing. They don't know what's good anymore they don't have an eye for storytelling they don't have an eye for interpersonal relationships they can't create anything. I hope they prove me wrong but I have no belief in them.
It sounds like they are going back to the drawing board. They already had a development team working on Mass Effect when Dragon Age was in production. That development team stopped work and was moved to support Dragon Age production. The plan was to have Mass Effect go into production as soon as Dragon Age got shipped. But it sounds like instead of production they are going right back into development. What do you suppose they learned from Dragon Age that they have to redevelop for Mass Effect? Change push-up's to pull-up's?
I wonder if Bioware counts people who played the free character creator for Veilguard as 'engaged' players
Isn't it technically Mass Effect 4? I don't know if I can count Andromeda as 4.
I ADORE the Mass Effect Shepard Trilogy and I'm terrified about the next game. The BioWare of old who cooked these wonderful games are long gone and I've no trust they will respect this awesome series. Andromeda sucked donkey dic so much. No faith.
Luke understanding of QA is abysmal
It sounds like they already expect Mass Effect 5 to be a failure, otherwise they would be keeping people on and planning for future projects from the studio.
What keyboard is it that you use? I want it.
I think from now on Chat GPT summaries of those awful letters needs to be included with their tweets.
This just makes me sad 😢. Bioware used to be my favorite developer and I wish to see them return to their former glory. I know most of the devs from the days of Mass Effect, Kotor, and Dragon Age have all left but I still think they can do something with what's left. At this point the only way they can go is up.
I feel like the good old days of Bioware are gone. We now have a twisted empty shell of an IP that we once loved. Really sad to see the fall of Bioware.
Layoffs, but they just released a game that made them “return to form”… 😂😂😂😂, hmm guess not so much so. 🤷🏻♂️, but yes THIS time it will be “return to form”.
I mean even when veilguard was in the later stages before launch they already had the ME devs tell us they moved projects to finish veilguard and after launch they gonna move back with core team to ME and the rest goes to EA teams.
El chat gpt tirando facts es excelente 🔥

Yeah. I can't wait for political activists to preach at me again in game format.
Yall bitching about being preached to has finally gotten to the point where it’s as bad as being preached to.
@@Orion_803actually agree with this. The drama surrounding Kingdom Come Deliverance is a perfect example. Both sides have become insufferable. With that all said, this was started by activists on the left.
If we stop calling this stuff out just because people are 'tired of hearing it,' nothing’s ever gonna change. But I do think the Kingdom Come stuff is getting blown way out of proportion. People should focus on the stuff that actually matters. Veilguard was a disgrace.
@@HappyChap8 regardless of which side “started it”, we aren’t school children. It’s entertainment at the end of the day. If you don’t like the message they put in their content then cool. But the constant bitching and complaining about “agendas” and all just has gotten tiresome. It’s gotten to where anytime lead role in a major title goes to a black person, a woman or a LGTB person here come the complains.
@@DeltaDragon79 people have been bitching nonstop so what do you think continuing to complain is going to do? Lol
I’m just saying it’s tiresome at this point. If you don’t like it cool. But the constant outrage is just tiresome. Y’all have your opinion, I have mine.
I wouldn't trust bioware to tie a shoe. They are not the same company as they once were. I loved mass effect 1 and 2 but I've accepted that we will never see a game like it again (unless they get bought out by Sony or Microsoft)
Is it impressive that ChatGPT can see through Corpo, or is it sad Corpo has gotten that transparent and predictable?
Kinda make sense. They thought DA was going to be live services and pivoted to sp. Now they get rid of the live service team members to get more expert sp.
I mean would make sense if i thought ea made good decisions
What that means is simple: No other projects in the pipeline. End of the line, user.
I think 1.2 million copies actually sold, is overly generous. My guess is it was closer to 650K-800K. There were too many alternative ways to play the game.
If bioware is making Mass effect 5 😢 they seriously need to first play their own game to understand the world building, story building, characters if they can't build back old talent and forced to work with less people they need to know their own game to know what people expect and one trailer from mass effect 5 will tell bioware's future if it's it's shit I hope they meet the same fate as all dead studios and if It's good and that's a long shot bioware's will make more money than all of their previous releases combined.
Shedding staff before they turn off the lights
Nah, usually when game studios make a game that destroys the long-running franchise. They usually double down on the mistakes for the next one they make. Great example seems to be naughty dog, ruin their last of us franchise and now is double down with intergalactic.
Weekes is out, and "they" wrote Bharv, and Taash. This is a massive W. Yes, they wrote some of the best moments of the ME series, but they've lost their drive to create good stories and were quotes as saying they only want to write gender non-conforming characters. And honestly I don't care if that were true, but it's the fact that they wrote them so badly in Veilguard that it's a literal slap in the face to people who are just trying to gain acceptance to be portrayed as petty, childish, confused assholes, instead of based Chads like Krem in Inquisition. Weekes needed to go, Corinne needed to go for not knowing what to cut and what to keep. l mean, they spent time motion capturing pushups (or maybe they used James Vega's) just to scold people for misgendering, when they could have spent that time, money and cinematic effort on building a scene with Kieran, or something about the Well of Souls, or just not nerfing all the lore. Good new for Mass Effect, but wow, so much pressure on that team.
I hope they close down before ruining the ME universe more
EA is ready to feed again and will feast upon BioWare and strip it to the bone, as it has previously consumed other studios as they have underperformed.
Could you imagine IF Bioware released a DLC for Dragon age: the veilguard with how bad the base game was. If its anything like starfeild shattered space where it was less of a dlc and just more starfeild.... people were so checked out after DA:VG that the dlc would be cataclysmic
BholeWare 2 - The dramatic search for the mOdeRn auDEInce
Lol ChatGPT killed it. I mean LLMs are perfect for such scenarios, they suck in many things (i still wait for the virtual plumber) but it was made to communicate, it got quite good at it already.
Too Little meets Too Late.
Can’t wait to see what kind of stunning and brave trans character they’re gonna bring to us. I’m sure they come in variety body sizes except for muscular male and curved female body types.😂😂😂
