Not very interested at it's current state, would be great if it were to be in the form of monthly dev blogs of all of the Bioware dev teams.

I'll be honest with you, it lacked Button Awesome. Forget about "keep your fingers on the pulse", if you're using David Silverman, you need to incorporate the "Button Awesome" in there somewhere. Other than that, looking forward to more, especially interviews. Hopefully we can get some actual developer interviews showing what they do on a regular day at the job. Those are always insightful.

Wow, rude.

BiowareTV is a fantastic idea.

You could easily do regular episodes if you include :

-Collector's Edition Unboxing


mental image of 'BioDave' sniffing on the artbook incoming :pinched:

I really liked the pulse =) saw all the episodes. "Making of"-episodes would be really fun. What does a lvl-designer do, what does it look like behind the scenes. Ohh... how does the omniblade look for the different classes. Go wild =) I'll watch it all.

I've liked it!

It will be nice if it's a monthly program showing the day-to-day of BioWare. :)

I think it's a great idea, and could be a great way to keep the fanbase up to date about what goes on at Bioware. I think it would be awesome to show us what goes on during the average day in the company, like what the people who make the games we love are doing. Maybe like clips of the voice actors and small interviews with them about acting on a game like ME3. It would be a good way for us to get to know them a little better.

Just wish there was more. More info and more fun stuff as well. Behind the scenes at Bioware sounds great, showing what you guys actually go through to give us these games would be very interesting. Any new info about upcoming things is a plus.

Only thing I will say to EA and Bioware, less "Buzz" words and more content. I get tired of the "great place to start", "awesome button to do awesome things", "Epic feel" kind of jargon. I would rather hear the game will include a story format to refresh the story, than "it is a great place to start".

We want to make BioWare Pulse TV a regular occurrence here at BioWare with information about our games, our different studios, the people who work here and more.

I'll believe it when I see it. Perhaps BioWare's time and resources would be better spent on not giving false promises, false hope and actually carrying through with what you guys say you will? I don't want to sound too harsh, but BioWare have a really bad track record with these things. Two years content for Dragon Age: Origins, DA2 being good, the big community event that fell flat on its face straight away... You get the idea.

Just having a look at it now. Not a fan of the interface; Something more akin to YouTube with playlists/categories and then the videos in that would be much interesting. At the moment I can't see what this is doing that YouTube or just a video section couldn't.

Wrong studio, bub.

I know it's from Bulletstorm but (I think) you get the point ;).

To further elaborate my post...seeing things like this in Pulse TV would be wicked.

I liked all the Pulse TV video I watch and would like to see more. Although I thought the host of most of the Q&As didn't really know the subject matter, and seemed like a bit of a putz.

I thought the presentation was a bit shaky and frankly "sucking up" to the devs. I'd like to see more formal and better prepared questions as well as a "looser" atmosphere in general, a better way to present your slogan ("Keep your finger on the pulse!") would also do well.

Otherwise, it was good, though the shows on it were kind of far between sometimes.

In the case of SW:TOR, I can't be as positive, the show had considerable lag and even crashed several times, of course, I realise it's not easy to make it work when 10000+ people are watching it.
The questions for TOR were also not good: this is targeted at fans of BioWare games, they can be expected to have some general idea of what the games they're seeing are about.

Good idea and I think it would be helpful for both fans and BW.

Sounds cool. I love these behind the scenes clips. What happened to the Bioware Facebook Friday btw?

If you think that's the best dialogue :)

- C'mon Ishi do what you do best and ruin the party

Just watched the episodes today. Been nice ^^

I do have one thing to note though, which I believe would make the show so much better and more informative overall. Casey should totally not be wearing a shirt during these interviews. We'd look so much more closely then =)

I absolutely LOVE this idea. Its similar to what some developers do to connect with  their fanbase and it pulls off benefits in numerous ways on both ends. The developers get suggestions and questions from the people who play their games. And the fans get the information and "teasing" that we all love so much. Image IPB

Id love a combination of behind the scenes interviews at the studio. Similar to the gameinformer videos showcased online. Those were superbly executed with information and provided quite an enjoyable time for fans watching it. Not one moment did I feel bored. On the contrary - I was sad when the interview ended. heh.

*Insomniac Games podcast Lover* If its anything like that, I'll be overjoyed. But then again - Bioware knows how to please fans. You'll do just fine. I look forward to this idea as more details are presented to us here on the forums.

On the pre-recorded ones, I'd like to be able to pause and rewind.

Bioware Pulse TV could've used more noise ahead of time; marketing wise.
During the E3 frenzy I saw it mentioned in passing somewhere in a social.bioware thread (not this one!) and that was it.

Honestly, I've watched Pulse just once where Ray Muzyka got interviewed in what looked like the parking garage?
Can't even find that piece on the relevant site for BW Pulse TV. Not that I'd want to, from what I recall it didn't give me any more info then what the E3 event gave out, but even that's a bit of an issue - content vanishing.
There's got to be a carrot, extra juicy chunk of info, for watching Pulse TV - instead I got the impression it was less then what I could see from other reporting sites like GameTrailers.
You need a better way to find relevant info on BW Pulse TV if you're going to make this a regular feature.

And Youtube hosting is my preference since I can elect to view content as 1080p or just listen to it at 420p or even 240p if visuals aren't that important.
Searching for relevant content is easier with YouTube as well - it's nearly impossible and aggravating to find anything on the current Pulse TV site.

Shouldn't be a problem since YouTube allows live streaming for selected partners starting April 2011.

Yeah...wait...what...? they have a YouTube channel? :blink:

Also - am I the only person in the world who hates streaming and prefers being able to download a video once and watch it as much as I want without soaking addtional bandwidth? I can't be alone in this....

I liked it.  I thought the graphics production values were nice.  Moar info is always good to me, although clearly not everybody shares that opinion:

My god.  Could you try that again, but make it sound a bit more smug and condescending?  There may be someone left in here who doesn't think you're a total ass.

The logical extension of what you're asking is that no features or projects get announced until they're released.  And then I guarantee you will be sat here on the sidelines criticising that the company doesn't engage with the fans enough.

Live Q & A was great, and it was fun to see and learn more about the game. I hope you all keep it up! In the future it'd be cool to see a bonus never-seen-before level or some convo we can all speculate on or a tid bit not known prior to an episode. Just an idea to suck us in even further :P
