BioWare: Don't Blame EA for Our Games

Posted on Thursday, October 6 @ 13:13:47 Eastern by


In an interview with Eurogamer, BioWare co-founders Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk says that the idea that EA tells them what to do "is not actually remotely true":

...we are EA, we're BioWare - we're both, and we still have huge autonomy in terms of what we do.

We're not not being forced to do anything or told to do anything. We make the decision. We take input.

At the end of the day, we're responsible for the quality of the content and games we release, and we're committed to try and always take feedback really seriously from our fans and be humble about how we take it - use it to make the next games better.

So if you didn't like the spawning enemies in Dragon Age 2 or the cover-based shooting in Mass Effect 2, you have your totally new target now.

    Well, at least now people have to take 10 seconds to make up a reason to blame EA instead of doing it automatically.

    EA doesn't have a clean track record, but Bioware has been putting less effort in their games to get them out faster. Deadlines are usually what publishers push for, and sloppy sequels too. The first paragraph is kind of misleading, "Bioware is EA etc" With that said, I'd say it's a combination of both companies as one making these faults. EA pushing for faster releases, and Bioware agreeing. Try to remember that the First Dragon Age had an ungodly long development cycle, compare that to the two and half years Dragon Age 2 was pushed out. And let us least not forget exclusive pre order DLC.

    Why because Mass Effect 3 will suck? Or SWTOR will flop? Give us the skinny, dude.

    It's because they will hire you in the near future.

    I have a feeling Bioware was told by EA to make a statement like this. Because frankly, it makes more sense as to why they've been on a downward spiral of uncreative and mediocre games on a level of quality akin to the Star Wars prequels to say that they were rushed by EA than just not giving a **** anymore.

    Oh, and it's being said because of the hamfisted multiplayer being added into ME3 that they'll announce at the end of the month. We all know that.

    EA might not tell them what do do in terms of design or whatever but I bet EA sure as hell tells them when that **** is going out the door and on the shelves.
