It's EA that delayed MEA because EA had all it's eggs in the Fall 2016 launch window with Battlefield 5, Titanfall 2, and MEA all out at the same time so It's good to me that MEA gets a delay for some extra polishing that DAI could of used.

 

BF5 should get the delay, yeah MEA can surely use it but after the last Battlefield and Star Wars Battlefront. Dice i think needs more time lol. Not to mention Tiatanfall and Battlefield are both MP focused so an MP game should get the push back lol. Of course with that all in mind, MEA can use more time I am sure.

[Er Dova!!]

Oh, well, I suppose it's for the best...

 

I just hope it's not a complete disaster on release, like so many games are being as of lately. Especially on PC ¬¬

[Killdren88]

I don't care if it comes out holdiay 2017 or in 2018 just don't release a broken piece of garbage.  Take your time and give me a complete game that actually works when I buy it.

 

EA can promise an unbroken..but as far as compete goes....well..they need to get the DLC somewhere...

Nope the Rumor is that Battlefield 5 is going WW1 and that is enough of a culture shock, change up, and breath of fresh air to validate it's precedence over MEA. Also Battlefield 5 and Titanfall 2 will hopefully give this years CoD a good butt kicking.

 i heard the ww1 rumor could be false information that EA is apparently releasing to throw us off on some of their big titles

It is too good to be true, yet I absolutely need to believe in it.

Maybe MEA is a lie too jk lol. And it actually takes place in the MW lol

 

crap i cant keep a serious face saying this lol

With thr current state of th industry, I would bet my money on a lot of problems on launch then patched out issues during the course of their maintenance period. It is like companies don't even take care of quality of their code anymore

.....  I'm more interested in a remaster of the original trilogy .....

 

Ain't  gonna happen. IGN wrote an article about this last June 2015 at E3. They quoted EA's Patrick Söderlund: "I won't lie and say we haven't looked at it. But for us, it's about weighing where we spend our resources, ..." The EA article is the only source I can find, for now, that quoted from any EA/BW source directly. Perhaps there are other sources to reinforce this one. I assume that if BW has spent gobs of money over 5 years (at this point), it's not worth it to invest in the past. Also, it's not just a matter of developing a HD version; they'd have to develop it for Win 7 - 10 at this point, not M$.s XP and Vista. ME Trilogy boxed set was released Nov-Dec 2012. If MW was going to do a HD remaster, then 2013 was their opportunity to do this, or at least by summer 2014. We're way past that  time frame. JM2C.

[in it for the lolz]

I am starting to wonder, is MEA the next Half Life 3?

Unfortunately, MP is where the money is. EA, btw, must serve its investors, so you do understand why these games are first out the door.

[N7Jamaican]

EA's fall lineup is mostly sports titles.

 

Madden = lack of competition has lead to very few innovations and a very underwhelming game

NBA Live = NBA 2K is the far superior game, NBA Live hasn't been good since 2009.

FIFA 16 = Their bread and butter/cash cow, but PES is the better futbol game.

[just to name a few]

 

 

If given the choice, I'd get Andromeda over any Fall title.

[DragonAgeLegend]

Called it! 

Same haha. Could have seen this a mile away so am not surprised, slightly disappointed though. 

[rocklikeafool]

I just hope enough people are talking about it to force BW to confirm a release date one way or another.

Why would they do that, until they're confident they can release the game without major bugs? People have these weird ideas that development studios aren't super busy. Intellectually, they know. But they don't actually get it. The amount of effort required to release a professional version of even a small piece of software -- let alone a AAA game -- is a lot more than most folks realize. Bioware employs around 800 employees. That's around 800 people whose goal, at the end of the day, is successful releases of their games. That amount of employees alone should tell you the effort behind releasing games like ME:A.

So, in short, Bioware is doing their due diligence. Be patient. Quit getting OFFENDED or acting ANNOYED that there isn't an official release date.

Shh, common sense has no place here.

They kind of did give us an official time of release when they said 'Holiday 2016.' Is it an official date? No, but it did give us a window of dates that we should expect a release on. That being said, games these days are released with major bugs anyway, especially EA games and the less said about the humongous amount of bugs present in DA2 and DAI at the time of release, the better. A game development company could be the busiest people in the galaxy, with a thousand employees working 24/7, all of them working on a single game for, say, five years and it will still be released with major bugs. It's unavoidable.

 

Doing ones due diligence is admirable, but when you give people a time of release (however vague) can you really expect people not to get mad when you give them another time of release, especially when this new one is just as vague?

 

Bioware has been working on this since 2012, probably longer since they could have made the announcement after they began work. They have (as I understand) around 200 people working on it, too, which as I also understand is around a full quarter of the company's manpower. This a ton of effort for creating a game, even by today's standards.

 

I don't presume to know anything about game development but when a game is being worked on for that long with that many people, you have to ask yourself what they're doing with it that they require more time.

A game developer doesn't owe us anything until we buy their product. Information blackouts don't bother me; it is the released product that matters afaic. It's a free market and there's lots of games out there to buy and enjoy right now, for those who are already vexed and stressed. Too many people around here are throwing tantrums; I wouldn't want to be their babysitter!

 

Personally, I'm glad that ME:A is scheduled for Q1 2017. I'm really curious to see how well BW/EA will do with their releases in Q4 this year. I'm hoping those results are a prelude to what Andromeda will be able to accomplish overall. Bioware, take all the time you need to make an amazing and polished new franchise. (I already waited 24 years to buy the Trilogy in 2013) I don't want to buy an unfinished Beta version. Criticism of BW and Andromeda at this point is a waste of my time; I have better things to do. Games can sap your life, if you let it, and so can forums too.

They also want us to, you know, buy their product. Would you buy something you know nothing about?

No, but I would buy a game that I knew nothing about until, say, a week before it released.

[Ibn_Shisha]

Lol, everything I am waiting either gets pushed back, has no set release date, both.

 

Uncharted 4, HZD, Duels for PS4, CP2077, Andromeda....

 

The gaming industry is being so considerate of my budget this year!

[Khrystyn]

Exactly, but they don't need me or 50,000 ME fans yelling from the sidelines to finish their project. They know what the stakes are better than we do, especially their staff and investors, and they know what they want to do with the new franchise for the next 5-7 years. They are addressing their future needs now. The positive comments that have been made about Andromeda's environment and story by just a few key people who have left BW, for a variety of reasons, is fine by me, even if it's spinned a little. And if it isn't true, I won't have to spend $60 for it and I won't have to upgrade my graphics card. I win either way.

[Sanunes]

We will know plenty when it is time to know more.  People reacted poorly to changes during development in the past and I can see them wanting to wait until the things they talk about are completely finalized before talking about it publicly. 

[abaris]

Just be good, thats all i want. Will still wait for reviews(not ign) though.

 

Exactly the same with me. I've learned my lessons in buying games prematurely. Reviews, both professional and player and ingame vids to see what's it all about.

[Giantdeathrobot]

 i heard the ww1 rumor could be false information that EA is apparently releasing to throw us off on some of their big titles

 

I'm not even sure how a WW1 FPS would work. Everyone has a bolt-action rifle and fights over who gets to use the heavy machine gun? Only aircraft are biplanes and triplanes? Only combat vehicles are slow, ugly and underpowered tanks? Doesn't seem fun to me.

 

I actually wouldn't be adverse to an FPS going back to WW2, however. For a time the market was utterly saturated with them, but nowadays popping Nazi heads would actually be original.
