As they should, their recent games have been garbage in my book.
This is the good Bioware, though, not a renamed one like the one that mainly did Andromeda.

I haven't been following this, but when was it delayed from?

This Bioware hasn't released a game in a while, if this is about the Main Bioware team.

Destiny 2 would have eaten it's lunch if it was this year.

Considering they haven't made a good game since 2010 they might be better off scrapping it and starting from scratch if the development is troubled.

Live game? :-/
How about another single-player Star Wars RPG?

So this is Inquisition Bioware?
Here here. Stark contrast from BioWare last gen.

I can't say this is bad. They should let it cook and only show it when it's ready.
March 2018.

Like, they're doing an FPS? Or an RPG with Destiny-like elements?
To be fair Destiny will eat their lunch whenever they release unless it is somehow associated with the Star Wars IP.
Think the general design of games like Destiny or The Division as a strong influence.
It will be more clear soon, since presumably they're still announcing it at E3.

Bioware really just doesn't want to make the kind of games we loved them for anymore. Damn shame, you couldn't hype me on this if you tried after hating many previous projects.
They need to hit their yearly "Behind The Scenes"-quota, so probably a few seconds of it.
The renaming thing was a total bullshit story pushed by random people. Zero truth to it.
Montreal was a new studio built by Bioware to be Bioware.

Basically games as a service and always online. Basically Destiny.

"Good" Bioware

Interesting.
Coming out mid-way through Destiny releases when those players are getting restless and bored might not be a bad approach actually.

This is the new IP that's been in the works at BioWare Edmonton from the OG Mass Effect team after Mass Effect 3 came out and work on ME3 DLC wrapped. The one Casey Hudson was working on before he left for Microsoft and Hololens.
So yes, it's BioWare Edmonton. But it's not the Dragon Age team --- because they're working on the next Dragon Age, most likely.
Oof.. not sure who is going to be excited about that.

Referencing the new IP as a "live game" just kills all the hype

Honestly as much as I actually loved it, Andromeda should have been Mass Effect Destiny.
It was literally a perfect set up and design for it.
Do you mean among BioWare fans? Because more generally, that type of game is basically the best selling in the industry.

Bioware really needs to get thinking about what makes their game special.
While last gen (and of course generations before, but truly came to prominence with the gaming community at large), they were able to deliver some great games to the console crowd (Dragon Age Inquisition, Mass Effect 1, 2, and yes.3), now, there are too many talented studios doing great things.
Both Bethesda and Bioware need to give there classic game structure a re-imagining. Fallout 4 hit without much more of a splash in the shallow end of the pool, while Mass Effect Andromeda just rolled off the side.

This is actually great news though. I'd rather they concentrated on getting it right and not rush the release, especially on a new IP which needs to be great out the door.
Bioware is a developer which has made many missteps but I believe they are also a developer with an incredible amount of potential to do something truly spectacular, varying shades of which we have seen with their previous games

I don't know if I would put Wildlands in that group. Sure its not a very interesting game to play solo but there isnt anything in the game that requires it to be played online.
Destiny and the Division are games that can only be played while online and heavily encourage the multiplayer element.

Yep follows the trend of EA being few years too late to the party they had with MMO/Moba/Cod clones etc.
The hard part is sustaining the early momentum. Most of my friends and I jumped on The Division only to drop it in a couple of months to return to Destiny. So far nothing has scratched that itch. I love Bioware so I hope this turns out great but I fully expect Destiny to basically be WoW on consoles.

Well I'd prefer a single-player game but I'm certainly going to give it a go. Looking forward to it
I know gaf hates modern bioware and all but I absolutely love them, they haven't let me down yet so there's no reason for me to doubt this new IP.
No problems with them delaying it either & 2019 isn't that long a wait. I do think Andromeda would've been better received had it been delayed another couple months or so to work on some of the things they're patching in now

Fully agreed, but you guys bought the Division all the same. For sales, this delay seems like a smart move if it's being marketed as a Destiny competitor. That 1.5 - 2 year mark was a big slump for Destiny, though hopefully the sequel does a better job with content releases and keeping people engaged throughout.
Also, weird avatar twin thing going on. Liha - never saw your av before. I haven't used this one for long so let me know if it's too similar and I'll change it.
