RIPPA Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I dont want to ruin the Mass Effect Thread so I will bring this up here The dude who was in charge of Anthem has left Bioware (and SW:TOR so FYI @JLSigman) )( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) That's actually spectacular news if you are concerned about Bioware returning to the normal game business. Chad was in charge of Live Services for Anthem and SW: TOR. I hate to see a guy with that kind of talent and tenure leave, but if Bioware is moving to close the doors on the failed MMO experiments so much the better. Two of the other high profile Anthem departures went to go work on Dragon Age, so I believe JL would take that as a good omen.. I can't think that Bioware will do much for Anthem other than keep it on life support long enough to recover development costs and then they'll probably put this thing to sleep. Then we can all go back to playing Mass Effect. I think that Bioware is in that weird period that Blizzard was in pre-WoW development when they were sorta just meandering around and looking for purpose. If they turn the corner as well as Blizzard did after a big release like another Dragon Age game, everything will go back to normal.

JLSigman Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Considering the way the story has been with SWTOR, this may be a good thing. Get someone else in there who actually gives a fuck. (sorry) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 https://kotaku.com/sources-bioware-plans-a-complete-overhaul-for-anthem-1839892415 Quote Recent silence and a couple of high-profile departures from BioWare have led fans and pundits to speculate that the studio has abandoned its most recent game, Anthem, but the opposite is true. For the last few months, BioWare and parent company EA have been planning an overhaul of the online shooter, according to three people familiar with those plans. Some call it “Anthem 2.0” or “Anthem Next.” Many of the details are still in flux, and there’s no clear timeline for the Anthem Next project just yet. In fact, from what I’ve heard, the developers at BioWare haven’t even decided how it’ll be distributed. They’re still figuring out whether updates should be released all at once or over an extended period of time. Anthem could be overhauled through a series of updates, a la No Man’s Sky, it could get a game-changing expansion like Destiny’s critically acclaimed Taken King. Most of Anthem’s biggest systems—its mission structure, its loot, its world—will change drastically, but the developers have not yet figured out exactly what that will look like. They’re even considering releasing Anthem Next as a brand new game, although those who work on the project said that could take a lot of forms (and it’s unlikely they’ll charge full-price to Anthem players).

The three people that still play that game have suffered enough and should not have to pay anything for Anthem Next, I am uncertain if I would consider getting a free copy of Anthem Next to be a reward.

jstout Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I got a guy on my friends list who still plays a lot of Anthem. Of course I picked him up through ME: Andromeda. Hard to imagine a BioWare fan boy after all this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Do you not have the 12 days tradition over there? It's supposed to be bad luck for the year if you don't take them down by January 6th (or ON January 6th no earlier or later, according to some versions of the superstition).

Ours are down by the 31st. My family apparently doesn't have that 12 days tradition. Probably because my mom's birthday is on 1 Jan and she demands that the shit be put away before her birthday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 We usually take down our tree and in house decorations sometime around the second week in January. As for the Christmas lights outside, those are still up, but it's only because I don't have time and whenever I do have time there's snow on the ground and I'm not getting up on a ladder in the snow.

Death From Above Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I wonder what the Bioware people in Edmonton that I know through social media really think about this but just can't say because EA signs their paychecks. I can take a wild guess. What a waste of resources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
