I feel like they're doubling down on SWTOR as far as the "Star Wars RPG" market is concerned - if we look at the announcement of the new expansion, it talks mostly about focusing on story content, companions, choices, etc. 

 

Which is a real shame, because I'd love for Bioware to make a modern singleplayer Star Wars RPG that doesn't have to deal with all the trappings of an MMO. In Frostbite. 

 

A while ago I was thinking that maybe the "new IP" is actually KoTOR3, and they got permission from LucasArts to begin making it before Disney bought Star Wars, but the hinting about emergent storytelling and multiplayer at E3 last year sorta threw me off that path a bit.

It's also possible the the "HD" is an overblown statement.

 

It's actually just what the company itself uses to categorise its own games, they mention it a lot in the investor meetings and stuff. I think in a way it's tied to budgets and R&D expenses or something.

 

HD games are basically anything full-priced for consoles/PC, which as of now are all being made with either Frostbite or the Ignite sports engine. 

 

I'd have to confirm it, but I'm pretty sure EA only really makes games now that fall into "HD" and "mobile", so anything that's not mobile is automatically an HD game.

I'm not sure if I should laugh about it or not.

 

Also, another possible "HD" game: ME Trilogy Remaster (remasters are like all the rage lately...and I really want it)

If they do announce a remastered trilogy for the ps4 and xone, I wonder if all dic would be included. I'm sure if the dlc is included, a lot of folks would buy it

Yeah, but from what I can tell, it's not about lightsabers and force users. That's the kind of thing I want so badly.

 

True, though the bounty hunter/rogue aspect of the Star Wars universe is quite interesting as well, and more fitting for Hennig's strengths.

 

(Not that I know what her game is actually about)

 

Hennig could definitely write Jedi/Sith stuff if she wanted to, though. She did the Legacy of Kain series, after all.

I really don't see why it wouldn't be included. If they don't, they'll have to set up a download page on the console platforms and hope people will want to (re)buy it. The ROI on that would be abysmal.

Maybe. Although, it's only a matchmaking-server. The MP is P2P.

There's also still a healthy community playing it from what I remember. No need to shut down something that's still profitable, right?

9 yrs ago today I started my game writing career at BioWare. I walked into the studio, they sat me at a desk and made me play KoToR. All day

 

Nothing will ever beat the KOTOR twist.

 

Almost nothing..

I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you; it's probably just a presentation on CGI techniques and such used in the film industry.

Is it E3 yet? I would like some tangible information to digest and give us something to do other than say space for weeks/months until the next update.

Realtalk for a minute, guys: has anyone got an tips for searching for a missing cat?  This is happening to Jos at the moment, and he is literally freaking out.

 

Jos @Sjosz 5 hrs5 hours ago

Kinda losing my ****.

I know it's not exactly Mass Effect related, but it is Twitter-related, and it'll make a change from arguing which twist is the most twisty or whatever. 

 

My tip would be to speak to the local postman, and ask him to keep an eye out, since he'll be around early in the morning, when a cat is most likely to be out in the open.

Happened to me once.

 

I found her, I wished I hadn't.

 

Good luck to him.

For context, Sion1138 hasn't thought the outlook was good most of this week.  I guess the non-mention of Mass Effect on EA's announcement today would also play into this.

I realize that, I was just stating that something like that would be really awesome.

If lost outside: If the cat likes you it will comeback by itself, if it doesn't or find some place better...well... yeah.

 

If you "lost" the cat in the house, you can put his food in an aluminum pie plate near your bed (I hope you sleep lightly). Then you wait. We lost a cat inside our house for two weeks once and that's how we "found her back". Note: cat can hide under really tiny things and love "boxes".
