EA sure do like talking about games they won't be ready to show for 2+ years.

Not too distant future is about the vaguest thing they could have possibly said. That could mean 2018 in terms of how long they've been working on this.

Does that mean Dragon Age is done?
There's some footage of scenery they've released, back in that one E3 conference when they had nothing but conceptual stuff.
Done how?
If you mean Inquisition is "done", then, yes, they've said that they won't be creating any more content for it.
If you mean as a series, absolutely not. There will definitely be a fourth Dragon Age game, and they're likely working on preproduction for it as we speak. I wouldn't expect it until 2018 at the absolute earliest, however.

What is it with the NX port begging ?
Edit: On topic. Can't really get excited for Bioware games these days.
Very curious what it's going to be. Hopefully something really cool and fresh, but then again my gut tells me it could definitely be something in that sort of generic "grounded-future-war" kind of setting, like most recent Call of Duty has been, Titanfall, etc. I could see them doing it as long as it wasn't too close in concept to Mass Effect.
Oh yeah totally likely, Bioware and Nintendo have such a closely tied history

They have over 800 staff across four IPs and SWTOR.
I'm sorry if it at all came across as port begging. It was meant as a joke because I don't expect a Bioware game to ever come to NX.

Don't worry, I knew what you were getting at.
Maybe it'll be made for the NX, and then any OTHER would be the ports, eh?

I was wondering because EA refused to give sales numbers for that. They tend to do when a game sells well. It wasn't in the top 10 for UK or NPD charts in the first month that it was released.

Is this the Amy Hennig game?
Why did they not tell us what it was at the world's largest gaming expo?

Apparently Alistair McNally, Creative Director at Bioware, wore a shirt with the title of the new IP at GDC but no one noticed and no one could seem to find him in the photos from GDC. Some Bioware people were laughing and trolling the people on the Bioware Forums who were hunting for the pictures.
I'm fairly certain David Gaider did a bit of work on the new IP before leaving Bioware as well so that is a plus
Edited for some choice tweets Hrungr compiled on the Bioware Forum:
Alistair McNally ‏@Al_McNally
Also it was fun to walk around GDC2016 in a t-shirt with our new IP on it and no one batted an eyelid.
Casey Hudson ‏@CaseyDHudson
Milestone review meeting on our new IP project. Just blown away by the new technology and content on display. This team is amazing.
Casey Hudson ‏@CaseyDHudson
And, no promises, but the words "space nuns" were uttered.
Space nuns xD

This is the new IP from the Mass Effect leads. Amy Hennig's game is at Visceral.
They've said Inquisition had the best launch of any BW title in terms of sales and that it exceeded their expectations. Plus, look at the games released that month that made the top ten:
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (360, XBO, PS4, PS3, PC)
Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
Super Smash Bros. (Wii U, 3DS)
Madden NFL 15 (360, XBO, PS4, PS3)
Assassins Creed Unity (PS4, XBO, PC)
Far Cry 4 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3, PC)
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (3DS)
Pokemon Omega Ruby (3DS)
NBA 2K15 (PS4, 360, XBO, PS3, PC)
Halo: The Master Chief Collection (XBO)
Other than maybe Far Cry, I wouldn't have expected a Dragon Age game to outsell any of those.

They said it was BioWare's most successful launch ever, but no official numbers from them. Charting in that month versus charting in any other month is pretty different, too.
Bioware Montreal is heading ME:A, and Bioware Edmonton is supposedly heading the new IP.

Well they've been working on it since early 2013 (maybe not full production the whole time), so I would hope to see something soon.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
New IP ?
EA plz, give us some solid information on the already announced for over a year Mass Effect game first. We don't even have a release date or a single actual gameplay video (bar the few seconds from the various vidoc style vids).

I'm certainly interested to see what it is they are working on. I was surprised the concept footage appeared to look sci-fi when it seems they already have that sort of setting locked up with Mass Effect.
Though there is an extent to which the studio distinctions have broken down as gigantic 400+ person blobs work on the games due to their massive scope increase.
You can go get hired at Edmonton, Austin, or Montreal to be a lead designer on the Mass Effect series because they don't actually care about location anymore.

What are the odds that this New IP will die like DawnGate?
Elvians
The game is set in a pocket universe the characters from Mass Effect and Dragon Age get stuck in and romance each other and other assorted hijinks as they battle the Arch-Reapers.
You should see the love children of the Thresher Maws and High Dragons
Or some of the Krogan vs Qunari death matches
Also Isabela really loves the Asari
That already happened with another BW new IP, Shadow Realms.
Nope. Obviously next Sunday, A.D.

...A hero-based shooter.
Please God, no.
It'll be great. Just have Battle and/or born in it. Instant success with those unique words.
