Andromeda thread

Depends if they stop working for EA.

Post that video
You know the one

How did they let it get this bad?

>>382663791
10 years working under EA will do that to you.

Today's Bioware is a husk of its former self. Practically everyone that made the studio what it once was has long since left. All that's left now are a bunch of college grad new hires and maybe a few holdouts.

Also, it doesn't help that Andromeda was developed by a new studio composed entirely of cheap college grads. The studio responsible for the ME trilogy and Dragon Age didn't have anything to do with Andromeda.

FIGHT FOR HER

I love how not even the biggest biodrones can defend them anymore.

>>382662685
God I hope Anthem fails hard.

Mass Effect was left to rot for EA's Destiny clone.

Oh yeah, this happened.....

>>382664442
Because of this Bioware had a proverbial loaded gun to there head by EA. If Anthem doesn't produce the numbers they expected they are looking at being dissolved like many other devs in the past. Which is fine by me. Bioware is too worried about making every special snowflake happy versus making an actual good game.

And then they show this dogshit co op multiplayer shooter that is chasing that dirty Division/ Destiny $$

How the fuck is this the studio that brought us Dragon Age and Mass Effect? Jesus Christ..

>>382668927
Was that the Unity team?

Did anything ever come of that witch hunt over the supposed lead animator?

>>382662685
Even the promotional art is ugly.

>How the fuck is this the studio that brought us Dragon Age and Mass Effect?
It isn't. Whole new studio made of nu-males and feminists interns with zero skills with the BioWare name slapped on it, not to mention the constant change of management with everyone not knowing what the fuck they were doing.
Besides, most of the original Mass Effect team left BioWare. Don't know about Dragon Age, but the main writer left too.

Don't worry Anthem will surely bring Bioware back on track :^)

>>382669137
The cosplay chick? She didn't even work on Andromeda rumor has it she is on Anthem

>>382667654
the thing is though is that anthem doesn't even look that special. it's like a reactionary game made after looking at the success of games like destiny and the division. it doesn't seem to be trying too much new and comes across as bland

>>382668927
hmm how do we help promote equality in game development ? maybe if we imply that all these female devs only got their job because of their gender itll help haha.

It's not. That's the problem.

>>382666153
It's gonna fail, EA is completely delusional if they think they can compete with Activision and a developer with a rabid fanbase like Bungie.

>>382669003
I concur, and I'm a mongoloid

>>382669317

Is this really the best they could fucking do?

How does it feel knowing these two spectrum riders are the best looking characters you be able to play as considering that all the other presets look like members of Biowhere staff

>>382669474

Bungie's fanbase is dying off quick

>>382669709
Bungie has surgically removed all traces of creativity out of fear that designs could be deemed offensive to people.

I sure as fuck hope they don't, companies that hire for diversity instead of hiring actually skilled people should just burn

Reminder that Cora is pretty much just Miranda's earlier design. Even the backstory is similar (she's the Illusive Man's daughter something Cerberus something something)

If God truly existed I would have a turian gf by now

>>382662685
They have to, if Anthem is going to succeed.

>>382663791
The Andromeda team was allotted five years and a budget to match. They spent the better part of three years faffing about trying to make a No Man's Sky clone before realizing it wouldn't work and trashing the whole thing. What you see release is the result of 18 months of work, not five years of work.

Those games happened before EA bought Bioware.

>>382672586
I don't give a shit about Andromeda I just want a turian waifu

I don't get why people are miffed at Bioware taking a shot at Anthem when it's clear they're branching out and trying something else. They got ragged on at E3 for it. "This is a Bioware game? Wew, don't they make narrative RPGs? What're they doing making a would-be console MMO shooter?"
