Bioware Helps With Darkspore. Just A Little
Darkspore is a game developed by Maxis and as you can probably tell from the name, it's based on the original Spore. To be precise, it will borrow the gameplay mechanics and the cute creature creation thingie, while the story takes the path of Diablo. What this means is a lot of action with a lot of enemies and the endless Spore-like possibilities.
What's more interesting is that Bioware will lend a hand to Maxis and help them with the story part. Malcolm Azania of Bioware will be the lead writer for Darkspore, and judging by the fact that he wrote for Mass Effect 2 too, this is going to be an intriguing game after all.
Good, Nasty and Badass – Not The Only Dialogue Choices in Dragon Age 2
IGN did a preview on Dragon Age 2 a few days ago, and by mistake or not they stated the fact that Dragon Age 2 will have only three dialogue options: nasty, good and badass(which is badass indeed). Now that might sound badass, but it also sounds poor. A Bioware RPG with only three dialogue options? Now that would mean a new low for the industry.
Bioware Ain't No Kinect Whore
I dare you to make me dance
While companies like EA are already having wet dreams about the pile of money Kinect and Playstation Move will bring them, Bioware is not impressed. It takes more than a colorful stick to make them change the way they make games, and that's a dim light of hope for the industry. Of course, they will try to use the technologies, but not by making casual crappy games. Instead, they're thinking about "creating a greater sense of immersion by using gestures in dialogs", as Greg Zeschuk said in an interview.
He also says "We’re not going to do a party game, we’re not going to do Dance Dance Krogan for Mass Effect.†and “The reality is it’s going to have a really positive impact. There’s that impediment of a controller but hardcore gamers are never going to give that up. It might be nice to see a hybrid of a controller used with additional gesture on the side for immersive elements."
I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to stand up and give this man a round of applause. It takes a lot of balls to resist the casual wave, but this guy right here has them, and they're rock solid.
Dragon Age 2 On The Horizon
Now THAT'S smoking hot, literally
After countless DLCs, Bioware finally admitted the fact that Dragon Age 2 is in development, which came as a surprise to absolutely no one. The game was indeed good, but it also sold like shit so it's really no surprise that they decided on a sequel.
We already found out from Gameinformer that the main character will be called Hawke and he's one of the few survivors of the Blight, that really massive undead infestation that served as a plot for the first part. Hawke may be described as a lucky guy, but like all soon to be heroes, he's just a low-life refugee in the beginning, barely being able to hunt down a hare to feed himself. Dragon Age's story will unfold over the course of 10 years, enough time for our hero to become the world's most powerful leader and fight the forces of the undead. Also, we are promised a new and better combat system and a far more advanced decision system that will affect the course of our journey in the world of Dragon Age.
This should come as good news for our patients suffering from the RPG disease, because it's been a long time since they've been able to treat their condition properly.
