    Where’s the timeline where EA doesn’t buy Bioware and make them release Mass Effect 2 as a corridor shooter punctuated by cutscenes and conversation prompts?

    The difference between ME1 and DA:O and their direct sequels developed under EA’s tenure is stark. Honestly, the trend never reversed as those series continued.

    I’m keeping an open mind, but it’s going to take a loooooot of positive word of mouth to get me to even think about picking DA up again.

    azerial,

    Did you not like DAI? I liked DAI (and worked on it some), but that was a much different BioWare. I was lucky to not work for BioWare when they shit canned the whole Austin office and sold Star Wars: The Old Republic to Broadsword. I heard a loud of BioWare people also left, but what are you doing to do in the shit hole that Edmonton is? Not many options I’ve heard. Though I’ve also heard there are some small studios in Edmonton that have spun off, as they always do.

    As someone who has worked directly with that team I’m hopeful but also hoping it’s not another dumpster fire like Anthem was. I could go on forever about that project.

    edit: small Edmonton studios

    sundray,

    I loved Inquisition’s story, acting, and art. The moment to moment gameplay, exploration, and combat didn’t click with me though, and I found it a challenge to finish. The thought of slogging through area after area kind of makes my heart sink. But I appreciate the hard work that goes into game creation, no shade on the team.

    azerial, (edited )

    Lol you can have shade. Nobody is perfect, for example: do you know what a Gold Master is? It’s the final copy of the game that is written on the disk. It’s also the reason why when you buy a game, the patch is gigantic. It’s an out of date build of the game, really really important, and has to be certified by both Microsoft and Sony. (Called the certificatation process) It takes months, but production can’t stop, thus the patch.

    The dragon age team, for DAI, built this super important build on a QAs desktop. Why might this be bad you ask? Because it’s an uncontrolled system that’s not clean and is connected to the Internet. Thank God they didn’t have a virus or malware, because it could’ve been written to millions of disks. Lol

    It’s the same reason why, initially, the first Star Wars: The Old Republic launcher installed in a user folder named “hedev”. Users were like who the fuck is hedev? Lol that was a coding bug and less of a build mistake but still. (I fixed that bug. Now they use a much much better launcher, went from version 2.6 to version 6.x). I miss that team, they’re rockstars.

    The details matter.

    edit: clarification

    I am so very hyped. Also I’m ready to be disappointed, but I’m so ready

    To be fair, after all those layoffs and that trailer, I’m far from being optimistic.

    This is what corporate speech control looks like, kids. Not even once.

    When you call yourself Dr Direspect only stupid wouldn’t believe that in some time it becomes your reality. It was unavoidable.

    Kinda surprising considering Nintendo has more hatred for the concept of Fair Use than a member of the Klan has for a Spike Lee movie.

    They have to restrict themselves to pickpocketing roaming NPC fascists.

    What? Fascists? RuneScape doesn’t have…

    Oh. HAM, I almost forgot about those guys.

    RisingSwell,

    I see so many new accounts that HAM always shows up, gotta get that bone crossbow

    Literally all he had to do was NOT inappropriately message a minor. And what did he do?

    God I love it when rich and famous people get what they fucking deserve for the shit they do.

    100 hours to do something 500’000 times means you have 0.7 seconds each time on average.

    dorron,

    An in game tick in osrs is 0.6s so that’s bang on

    Katana314, do gaming w Microsoft backs up Geoff Keighley after he ignited console warrior outrage over the Gears of War: E-Day trailer

    If this helps the flame train derail a bit:

    Most Source engine game trailers, like Half-Life 2, are “pre-rendered”. If you record a sequence of gameplay as a “demo” (kb-level file that records player movement in a level) then you can record that demo into a video at a much slower rate than the gameplay, capturing every frame; as well as add camera motions to it. There are guides for individuals to do this using the “startmovie” command.

    It’s just a logical way to ensure the video is seamlessly presented, especially since framerate optimization comes late in development.

    I’ve pretty much abandoned Xbox over this issue, and I’ve been an apologist for them for a lot of things.
