Bioware Games Thread - Always waiting

[Liliana93]

Yess replied under the 10 day limit, hey apparently one of the developers almost released snapshots of the first hour of the game but sadly we didn't actually get any pictures, still they're teasing at it which is a good thing (not sure if this is old news but it was in the recent portions of tumblr sooooo...XD)

Nothing game breaking sadly, still good to hear things are progressing wellXD

Not unless they have something they're holding back until E3.

Edit: Mass Effect Andromeda stuff! Albeit it is just Cameron Lee talking about the first hour, but it's better than nothing! Article here! Also, some fun DAI stuff here. Kirie, I'm happy with this.

Hahahaha wow. I was scrolling through them like "I agree, I agree, omg perfect"

I had no idea Cameron Lee was on the new IP team! I can't wait to know what sort of setting it is. Any guesses or hopes?

Would have been nice for some leaks ;_; At least we're less than 6 months until E3, I guess?

I want to bet the first hour is the prologue like how Eden Prime, Cerberus and Earth were the prologues of the trilogy and were about an hour long. As for what it is exactly I have no idea.

[Liliana93]

Ah okay sorry Ronin about missing your post, I was so excited to have something new even if it wasn't really news and i must have missed it when i skimmedxDD

Yeah i'm sure between feb-april we'll get some information, even if it's littleXD if not they might wait till e3 itself to show off characters or another trailer (hopefully both) I am actually going to remain mostly blind with this one, not the characters so much but story definitely

[Ronin19]

^Don't worry about it. Because I didn't make a new post then it was impossible for anyone to really know what was going on.

[RopeMaidenKirie]

Ronin just alerted me of this: David Gaider left Bioware


Omg why ;_______;

[Blue Rose]

;_;

Wish him the best if luck in whatever he does next, but this does suck, orz. Curious to what the reasons were, but ah well. D:

[Ronin19]

I don't know, but I wish him well. I wonder what happened to the new IP he was working on? I am glad that Patrick Weekes took over for him on Dragon Age, so that series will be in good hands.

We haven't heard much on Mass Effect Andromeda for a while since the director left; I REALLY want more information, but good information this time. What have you guys been up to lately? I've been playing A New Beginning for some reason or another (I don't know why, I hated the town restoration plans; I blame the announcement of a new SoS game ) and I downloaded Witcher 2 on Xbox One since it is free for a while.

Playing Sims 4 like a dork. I need to get back to Fallout 4/Mass Effect 2 but I need to get a tv for my apartment.

I got Sims 4, but my Mac laptop can't handle it. I really should go back to Mass Effect 1 at some point and work on my files.

"Gaider confirmed that it was his choice to leave in an email to Polygon. "It was indeed my decision, one not made easily since BioWare's been very good to me, and the parting is amicable," he wrote. "It's simply time to move onto a new challenge."

"As to where I'm headed next, that announcement will come in due time — today's about saying goodbye and packing up," he added."

Curious to see where exactly he goes. Honestly I don't really blame him..that's a long time, and he just seemed so tired these last few years when interacting with people. I'm hoping he'll stay in games, but maybe he's going to write his own series or something.

Been playing some otomes and SoS (started a new file on seedling mode because I don't want to go through that grind again)....but mostly waiting for FE:F in a few weeks. Oh, and Digimon! Though I haven't decided yet if I'm buying that day one or not.

Really wish we'd get some Andromeda news soon though :/ At least it's only 5 months until E3!

[Ronin19]

We should keep an eye out where he goes, same with Casey Hudson; hopefully they'll work on amazing new games.

[IheartGil>.<]

Sad to see Gaider leave entirely. I had thought he was just moving on to a new project, which I was excited to hear more about. I hope he's doing alright and that he enjoys whatever he moves on to doing.

I'm still a little disappointed by the lack of Andromeda news. I'm sure we'll get something at e3 this year though, but at this point I'm starting to think a 2017 release is maybe a little more likely? I could be wrong though! They could just be doing a really good job on keeping things quiet.

As for what I'm playing now, I actually started playing the sims 4 again as well! I didn't enjoy it at first due to the lack of content, but I bought some expansion packs with my birthday money and am enjoying it more. Although I'm still bitter that I know I'll end up paying for content that should have been included in the beginning.

I go back and forth between that and Fallout 4 (which I finally got for Christmas and then disappeared off the face of the earth for like two weeks to finish) and Persona 4 Dancing All Night. :v I'm trying to patiently wait for fe:f.

[Liliana93]

Yeah I'm sad about gaider too... but wherever he goes he'll make it shine!

I am too, though that might actually be a good thing, it means they might not slip as much info over a larger course of time, which means they can give out the things that are important to know, still I would like to see more companions despite the fact. (also it makes the wait a little less painful) though regardless I'm not going to look up serious spoilers this time, I think I spoiled myself tooo much with dragon age inquisition which led to it being a little less enjoyable for me, still fun but I definitely took longer with it.

I'm currently playing the steam version of dragons dogma, loved the game on ps3 but as a person that doesn't play console as much, this pc version is a godsend. also waiting for digimon story CS and i've saved up enough to get it day one which is niceXD]

also while waiting for info to come out, what kinds of characters do you hope for, sure there have been hints but, I personally am hoping for a male quarian or male/female of a new race from andromeda itself.

Woaaah I am really late with this news!!! I love David Gaider, I hope he's at least off to bigger and better things, it sounds like it.

I have actually been re-playing Dragon Age Inquisition. Re-purchased game of the year addition for my Xbox One and it comes with all of the downloadable content. I have been playing pretty much non-stop all weekend. Romancing Solas this tiiiime becaaaause of reasons.
