BioWare Producer Asks If You'd Play a Dragon Age "Tactics" Game

I would totally get it, I love such games.

Sounds interesting to me.

Sounds good to me. A fantasy tactics rpg with high-quality graphics and storytelling sounds great! As long as there is customization along the lines of Fire Emblem.

I think Dragon Age needs more cover shooting mechanics and less RPG Kappa

Please no...

Only if it has face touching.

I played this already. It was called Origins.

After Inquisition I'm not really interested in the main series any more despite Origins grabbing me for quite a while, but I'd totally buy a tactical Dragon Age game.

I want XCOM style game but Warhammer 40k universe how awesome would that be!

Oh man... something in between Fire Emblem and XCOM would be amazing.

I think game sales severely decrease when the Drama Wagon approaches. "We need the game to contain THIS!" "You really need to do THIS to your game!" "OMG how insensitive! How come you don't have THAT!" "Well I'm a 1,000 certified such and such that doesn't even like video games and you know you have to have THAT!" If you get so far off base your game doesn't even appeal to it's customers because it is being pushed into a certain demographic, you might have as well as not have made the game at all.

Examples could include:

- Epic Supreme One Shoot Kill PvP Shooter 300 fps Turn Based

- Mega Hyped MMO Cross Platform Hyperthreaded Game That Requires You Log Out To Win

- All Canadian Mobile Device Cooking Game Where You Can Scan Items from Your Local Store Sold Now in Africa

- Blue Hair Barber Simulator Sold Only in China

- Epic Cuddly Pants Cute Max Fuzzy Collectible Warm Happy Stuffed Animal Game Marketed To People In Prison That Can't Buy it

There simply aren't enough games like Fire Emblem so HECK YES!

Tip of the cap for Darrah addressing fans on an idea rather than just immediately developing a concept without prior knowledge on if said game would be wanted by the gaming community. Plus I'd be good with a tactics style game, Final Fantasy Tactics is still one of my favorite games, and maybe it'll bring a different element to the Dragon Age series, which for me personally, is an underwhelming series overall.

i would have to say No

No.

no, I would just play Xcom or FireEmblem ... fool, make a unique game !

There's a hidden market for this type of game. Final Fantasy Tactics was a major console AAA budget game but thirst for it fizzled out because they kiddified it for handhelds. A turn-based Dragon Age game focussed squarely on game play? Holy moly. Consider how great the gameplay was for the original Dragon Age!

Like the Souls franchise, the hardcore market would worship this style of Dragon Age game (done right) and it could snowball into mass-market appeal. Appease the core with great gameplay, establish street cred and watch the money roll in. Square Enix would take note and follow up with a real FF Tactics II and a new golden age of gaming would be born. It's all on you now Darrah! No pressure.

Only if it's story driven, like for example Final Fantasy Tactics. If it's all about "missions" in randomized levels then probably not.

Glad to see Dragon Age universe expanding but I am not a fan of TBS. I am all for RTS DA version. Anyway good luck to them.

meh, I support the idea, but I'd rather see the resources spent on other things, namely a new Knights of the Old Republic.

I wonder if Disney voiding the expanded universe makes games development in the expanded universe a no-no as well? I mean they're still support TOR as it's a cash-cow, but new games? Likely not...so sad.

Whatever, just make a new IP :D

Are they talking about X-COM Dragon Age ? Probably yes.

Gamer answers maybe...gamer asks; Can Bioware make a good DA tactics game? How about a current gen Knights of the Old Rebublic first. How about a proper end to Mass Effect 3 first!

I'm still waiting for a good follow-up to Origins.

All the yes.

I'd play it because I love tactical games and enjoy Dragon Age, but not enough to create a Twitter account to vote.

I don't care what franchise you slap over it, I'll play a good SRPG, if it's good. But you better focus on getting the gameplay right before you do anything else, which recent games you've put out have not done.

Oh, by the way, a good SRPG doesn't have day one DLC or online microtransactions. Can you handle that?

Si!
