The Escapist : News : BioWare Co-Founder: RPGs Are Becoming "Less Relevant"


"It's more a function of, 'Hey, this game has a great story.' For us, [it's] having that emotion but also having other great features like combat and persistence of character progression and stuff."

-Greg Zeschuck


I like this actually, it fits in nicely with Casey Hudson's statement earlier:

Inverviewer: "What do you see as the current holy grail for RPGs right now?"

Casey Hudson: "To be honest, I don’t know.  I never consider myself an RPG developer, and I don’t really worry about traditional genre conventions other than our own goals for making a great game. Typically our goals - creating interactive story, compelling progression, intense combat, and exploration -result in games that are classified as RPGs. But my intention is always to make the best possible story-driven games, and for me and my team, the next great design that we’re excited about is what we’re doing with ME3."

Less about Sacred Cows and conventions and more about creative techniques and Storytelling. I like this. It was always the story for me anyways :P

Well, we're discussing how the development of ME3 is affected by Bioware's current stance towards RPGs. How will a stance like this affect future Bioware titles and make it different from DX:HR and The Witcher 2 etc. It's quite a lively discussion. 


Which is fine... as long as it's at least loosely related to ME3. In depth discussion of DA/DA2 probably doesn't belong here... better to take that stuff offline or to a different forum. :happy:
