The blueprints for the Prothean device found on Mars call for remarkable quantities of element zero throughout its structure, even in its circuitry. A precious commodity at the best of times, the Alliance and its allies are annexing all sources of eezo the Reapers haven't cut off. The cache liberated from Omega is a welcome boost to their resources.

Yep, that's pretty clear in the blog post. This will be their first new IP without the good doctors and while under EA reign. I won't hold my breath, but I'll remain cautiously optimistic. At least we don't have to be concerned about the next ME title being an MMO, after the financial disaster that is SWTOR.paxxton wrote...
Is BioWare planning on creating a completely new franchise?
I remember someone finding that (Element Zero Core asset, I believe) and a Cerberus Flotilla asset in the game files about 6 months ago.Bill Casey wrote...

What's more interesting though is that Casey Hudson and friends are working on that new franchise. So they are working on 2 projects simultaneously (the other being obviously ME4).Andromidius wrote...
Seems so. Though with Ray and Greg leaving...
Honestly it smells fishy too me. Apperently they made the choice right as the EC was announced (which was also when SWTOR was starting to go downhill). Looks like EA are going to have killed yet another developer.
Urgh.

Honestly, it's strange they decided to leave right now. They created the company. How can they just abandon the work of their lives? They don't retire because of old age. Money, you say? That they are rich now? What about passion to create unforgettable games? You can't retire from being passionate unless you burnt out. But how could they burnt out if BioWare's history is a walk of fame.

I guess we'll have to wait a couple of years and see how it all unfolds. In 2 years we'll look back and judge with our wallets, seriously pondering the quality of their games.Big_Boss9 wrote...

Rats jumping from a sinking ship, perhaps.
Either that or they were pushed out by EA due to recent problems. Its well known that EA will destroy companies that don't make money instantly, even if they used to make lots of money and are going to in the near future. They killed Westwood, for goodness sake!
Or they might just geniunely be tired of their work and want to move on to someone else. Who knows.

Hey, I'd not go that far! There's been plenty of much worse games. E.T. for example.
And heck, ME3 wouldn't be 'bad' if not for the fact ME1 and ME2 are so amazing. As a stand alone it would be pretty darn good.
I still hope they can right the wrong of ME3. If not, well, I liked the ending anyway, but not as much as if it was a hallucination.KevShep wrote...

2.SWTOR is a complete bust. Gamers are already burned out on WoW and the combat (one that I saw coming since before the release date) is so lame that it alone will kill it. I mean how can a game be good if your hitting 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and repeating it for every time you attack?...Thats boring!

I think the impact of ME3 was WAY bigger then E.T.. Second, your happy with a meh type ending when the Devs are more then capable of blowing your mind and did not? Indoc Theory had that, as well as one of the most golden opportunities to use it and make the gusiest and best endings ever but didnt use it.
ME1 and ME2 were great games because they stayed on a plot direction that made sense instead of having the kill-all-reapers-button come from nowhere.
Haha. I heard about that and saw how mediocre (even for its time) a game it was.Andromidius wrote...
Nah. E.T. contributed to killing the entire video game industry for a period of several years.

Might be. After all, comparing ME3 to ME2, BioWare abandoned many great aspects of gameplay, like diverse dialog options (neutral option), a flexible and easy to use journal, character-driven story (even if it was only a part of ME3). They improved many things though, like combat, graphics, sound. Story was great but didn't have any sense of discovery. You were given a single goal and everything you did revolved around it. Sure, there were side missions, but they didn't seem as interesting as recruitment/loyalty missions in ME2. Basically, the game feels linear - there's one correct way to play it from the beginning to the end.KevShep wrote...

yeah I hope they can do it but there bad track record started with DA2 and just got worse and now the founders of Bioware are retiring and there not even that old at all.
I think there retiring becauses of the bad direction they have been taking the company since DA2.

2. SWTOR is freakin awesome, it's got 8 different stories wrapped in one with co-op as an option. I've played through 3 full characters and can't wait to finish the other 5, I know plenty others who feel the same. Then again I know plenty others who are still dissapointed for various reasons. Combat seems fun to me, not sure what else I'd use other than my number pad and naga-pad for it with that many skill and combination options.It's not for everyone, but it's for enough others.

SWTOR would have been better suited as a single player RPG. From what everyone says, the leveling is the best part of the game. Once you finish your storyline, there's not a huge amount left to keep you engaged.
Which completely defeats the purpose of an MMO.
