BioWare's Shadow Realms Possibly Rebooted For Xbox One, PS4, PC

<< LINK REMOVED >> MMOs are pretty much clones of each other. WoW is a clone of Asheron's call.

<< LINK REMOVED >> They are going back to the drawing board. Obviously they will use a lot of the assets they have, but it seems they are completely starting back at the beginning with everything else. The project is essentially being "rebooted". There are many definitions for the word reboot so I'm not sure why you are so up in arms over this.

The whole thing was not received very well back when they showed the gameplay and gave details. Episodic release, multiplayer only, etc. Now it seems they are going to release a "full" game instead of episodic. It's not uncommon for developers to have a game far in development and then have to fully restart. Look at the whole debacle of Prey 2.

Let's just all be happy that they are willing to lose a lot of money in order to make sure the product we get is quality.

<< LINK REMOVED >> If only there were a single player version of Secret World....

<< LINK REMOVED >> Obviously that can't be the only reason for a reboot. The game has been received quite poorly across the board after the gameplay previews/details came out. Developers listen closely as to what people are saying about their product when it is first shown. There was a lot of complaints over the episodic/free to play nature of the game. I'm guessing they wanted to go that route because the budget was not big enough to make a full length campaign all at once and they needed the influx of cash from people playing to fully realize the game.

Getting increased budget from EA will allow them to create the full campaign and release it as a 60$ game instead of some kind of f2p hybrid.

<< LINK REMOVED >> What was wrong with Inquisition?

<< LINK REMOVED >> Hell yes.

<< LINK REMOVED >> minus origin integration!

<< LINK REMOVED >> I hope so

<< LINK REMOVED >> Not episodic. If you read in between the lines you can assume that the whole reason for the episodic release was because of lack of budget. You can basically create a portion of the game and release it, getting an influx of cash to help fund the next "episode" and keep the studio afloat budget wise.

With the increased budget from implementing origin they seem to be able to make the full campaign. Thus it may no longer be a free 2 play game and simply be a full 60$ game.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Announce Suikoden 6 or Grandia 4 and I would have no complaints.

(Unless it was a garbage mobile game a la Breath of Fire 6)

<< LINK REMOVED >> Not true, most were quite happy when this game was first announced, but with the changes they plan to add above, kinda turns your stomach. But many game this year wholly positive.
