| Bioware to do an MMORPG | |

Trad Redav - Student  |
Quote: Bioware Austin has already begun work on a Massively Multiplayer Online roleplaying game (MMORPG) title; the new game will mark BioWare's debut in the Massively Multiplayer Online space. BioWare has recruited some of the top talent in MMO and RPG development, both to manage the development efforts at BioWare Austin and to collaborate with the experienced team at BioWare Edmonton, to develop a game that combines the best of BioWare's great past games with a compelling persistent online experience. They've opened a new office in Austin, Texas for it. For those who don't know (!), Bioware did Kotor (the first!), along with games like Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights, and Jade Empire. Linky _______________ Well then. Just so you know, just because I don't post often doesn't mean I don't lurk this place multiple times every day...

I expect Bioware to do a really good job, but I'm not huge on MMORPG's. So I'll wait and see. _______________ Axion - Yeah. |

I'd like to see an MMORPG that: -Has a dynamic world, e.g. Vancleef stays dead, players can build (and burn down) houses -Has twitch-based combat -Doesn't have a concept of a character's "level," at least not in the sense that a high-level character can inexplicably take a superhuman amount of damage and still fight. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

Quote: There are already rumours that Bioware will be taking over the SWG franchise from Sony, however there are so many rumours about SWG that sadly this will likely prove unfounded. ...No. Bioware has stopped doing franchised games. Here on in, all of their games are in their own universes. No more star wars, no more d&d. (Which, incidentally, means comparing their mmorpg to SWG or D&D online is rather foolish, except in the context of comparing to *all* others.) Aha okay, shame they would of done a good job of it i think. Still as i said i wasn't really expecting the rumours to be true, there have been so many have there not? I liked the style of Jade Empire, and i love oriental/eastern influences in games, however as i said i never played their earlier games like NWN or Baldurs Gate which were more fantasy based from what i can tell. Still they know their stuff so could be something to watch out for in the future. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?

There are already rumours that Bioware will be taking over the SWG franchise from Sony, however there are so many rumours about SWG that sadly this will likely prove unfounded. If i were to make a guess i would imagine a Bioware MMORPG being quite accesable to be honest, certainly not an even bigger grind that some of the MMORPG's that have been out. Oh and you thought KotOR had a clichè story line? Interesting, you see some would say it has the best star wars storyline in quite a while, with an amazing plot twist.  _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?
