But, alas...EA loves their release schedules. I'm concerned in the same way for DA3; I'm not convinced they can pull it off in the timeframe they have with switching to Frostbite and supposedly next gen. In general, the fact that they're so early into the dev cycle with both games and they already have an idea of when they want to release makes me nervous.

DA3 has already been in development for over two years.

Unless BioWare was working on DA2 and DA3 concurrently, you're wrong. DA2 was released on the US market on 8 March 2011. After the game went gold, the team probably spent its time working on a Day 1 DLC. Therefore, DA3 most likely hasn't been in development for more than a year and nine months.

Anyway, given the fact that they switched to the Frostbite engine, which hadn't been used to make an RPG game before, it's a bit concerning that EA has already announced an preliminary release date.

The ME series has been a great joy over the last 7 years, but just the sound of "ME4" makes me cringe. There's a neat article today on Bioshock Infinite in which they basically wiped the slate clean in order to come up with fresh ideas and then injected the game with some traditional Bioshock features for familiarity. That is my wish for the next ME game, not a continuation as "ME4" suggests...

I sincerely hope that they don't intend to release this as early as late 2013 or early 2014. Especially after obvious rush job that Mass Effect 3 was.

You've misread the title, Isaac's original post, and the interview. 

I'm sure this reply is coming too late to even matter, but I know what Issac said, though looking back over my own wording I can see how I might have given you the wrong idea, as do I appreciate him bringing this to our attention.  I'm just concerned about the next game repeating the same mistakes of the previous one and I still wonder if mid 2015 is a little too early.

I'm fine with a 2015 release. The more time they put into it, the more polished it will be.

To state the obvious, though, I hope they're currently aiming for it to be tailored for next gen consoles, rather than the current.

Why? Late 2014 to mid 2015 is very vague, and what most of us probably expected. Now, if they said it was going to be finished by 2013, then we'd have a **** storm on our hands.

^ Sorry, I was referring to DA3's release date. The game is planned to be released in the winter 2013.

I am confused. Who is this interview with? Why so many typos? Seems peculiar.

They could have still had a boss fight with Harbinger and ended the game the same way. Oh, Bioware.

[xAmilli0n]

Hmmm, they are only giving themselves 2 to 2.5 years. Development time matters, but I guess if we are starting a new trilogy without having to take into account the decisions of previous games, it might be fine. Though honestly, I would definitely feel a little better if they were giving themselves at least 3 years.

- more DLC to come, next one has 8 writers etc (we knew that already), more info will be released in the coming weeks, no answer whether that's the last DLC though, may not be but Bioware says that we're getting to the point where they won't be releasing as much DLC for ME3 as before

Sad. They just released 2 real DLCs for ME3. ME3 dying the DA2 death?

Nah it's not. As already said they've technically released 3 story dlc's plus extended cut not to mention numerous MP ones. DA 2 had 2 and a third never finished. Not the same.

Fair enough. I'd personally be happy with a mid 2015 release, though. That would be an almost 3 year development cycle. Longer than ME2 or ME3, as far as I know. I understand your concern, though. 

[rapscallioness]

Good interview. Thnx, Isaac!

The more development time - the better. Late 2014 will result in even more rushed game then ME3 was,since they have to tweak with a new engine and new ME studio having less manpower.

I feel you on that one. I personally think it will be more MP than SP though, thats all EA seems to care about now.

Technically all three Mass Effect games were being developed at the same time. Groundwork laid down for 2 and 3 the same time 1 was in serious development, which would lessen the release time between games.

Also here's hoping WiiU gets the whole Trilogy. It was sad that the PS3 had to wait so long, it's just as bad that the WiiU only has ME3.

Also I agree on the thing about the Illusive Man. Having him be transformed into a Reaper monster that you have to kill as the final boss fight is just a rehash of Saren in ME1. And as stated, the Illusive Man's most powerful weapon is his mind, so facing off with him in a battle of wits is genius.

Bioware wrote...
We also scrapped the original ending for Mass Effect 3. We were gonna have it as a “boss battle”, where Commander Shepard would go up and fight The Illusive Man who has been transformed by The Reapers. We scrapped that idea because way too many [games] have that as their ending, some final boss fight. Ultimately, we are proud of the finished products in the Mass Effect series and stand by them.

Gamer Syndrome wrote...
That actually sounded like it could have been cool to fight The Illusive Man like that.

Bioware wrote...
Yeah, it might have been but we wanted an ending that didn’t copy what other games have done before. So a boss battle wasn’t really where we wanted it to go.

Source.


So what do you think?

I don't understand all the people complaining about rushed timelines... Obsidian is aiming for an early 2014 release for Project Eternity, which taking into account that it was probably being worked on for some time before the kickstarter campaing, and since it's going to be a digital release, so they will be able to work on it almost up until release, adds up exactly to the 2-2.5 years Bioware is using. They are also working with a new engine, and completely new tools which they have zero experience with, and while they aren't adding VOs, they are building up the entire world, stats, classes, rule system from scratch.
And they don't have a publisher to push them, so I guess this was entirely their decision...

Regarding the Gamersyndrome-article, Mike Gamble had the following to say:

Don't believe everything you read, by the way

I mean, come on - "Mr. Bioware??" Good journalism states sources...

AGH you beat me to it! XD

So I think it's safe to assume that interview was not with Mike Gamble.

Most of it is taken from Final Hours of Mass Effect anyway and the other stuff especially about release dates is just plain assumption, you could name any release date right now, I don't think even Casey Hudson knows any better when they'll release it as it is so early in development.

[Zehealingman]

Please Bioware, take your time for Mass Effect 4 and bring it Mid 2015. I really don't hope that EA is going to force a late 2014.

[N7 Shadow 90]

How come EA confirmed the interview as real?

[MegaSovereign]

I'm excited to see what ME4 will be about.

I can't wait for next gen systems to roll out.
