They said full announcement this summer, so this is encouraging! It's completely 50/50 right now. Either it's going to just flop and that's it for Bioware - or they learned their lesson and it's going to rejuvenate the brand.
BioWare has EA’s grubby fat fingers all up inside of it so I ain’t holding my breath. And I say that as someone who has a relative working for BioWare.
Agreed, but I'll give it 50/50. I'm not going to call it dead before anyone even sees it, but I'm not expecting Inquisition levels either.
Honestly, Inquisition is the low point in the series to me. If it can't clear that bar then Bioware may be toast. I've replayed Origins countless times and it's truly a great game. DA2 isn't a perfect game, and certainly shows signs of EA's influence degrading the product, but I have replayed of numerous and still find it a fun experience.
Inquisition, I think I've only completed it twice, at most. But replays always seem to stall out for me. I don't find the characters as engaging and the "open world" elements feel like something to be overcome rather than something I want to dive into and explore.
Honestly, I'd rather they go smaller and focus on well designed areas/missions/quests with fun and engaging characters. I don't need a huge map from a Bioware title. I just want a good story, with interesting characters and difficult narrative choices.
Their last decent game was over a decade ago and I'm half convinced the only good they actually put out was either a fluke or just didn't have any competition to show how bad it was. No way are they turning it around now, sadly.
