| Bioware Opens Austin, TX Studio for MMOG Development @ Gamas |
|
Bioware is opening a new studio in Austin, Texas, USA for the development of MMO type games. <blockquote><em>The new studio has already begun work on an unnamed massively multiplayer online role-playing (MMORPG). Joining the Austin team as lead designer is James Ohlen, BioWare's creative director, whose previous credits include lead or co-lead design roles on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II. Also leading the BioWare Austin team are MMO veterans Richard Vogel and Gordon Walton.</em></blockquote>Read the rest <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=8485" target="_blank">here</a>. |

While I share our guest's disappointment about the MMO aspect, I'm encouraged that a new development house is opening. It's been a long time since I've seen anything but developers closing down.

Its a MMORPG so I'm curious if it will be their same IP that Dragon Age is done with.
Is this the end of the Free Online play model (NWN) for Bioware? |

hmm I'd say hardly the end as NWN2 is coming down the pipe and looking good. Probably just a case of Bioware wanting to try their hand at the genre and try to get some of that WoW cash-money. 
We'll have to wait and see I guess but nothing wrong with giving it a go.. Here's hopin' its sci-fi and not yet another elf and orc bash party ... ^_^ |

Well they are makign Mass Effect but that's an action game.
I think their marketing department would stomp all over them if they tried to get as experimental as Origin was.
I mean look at the next big release from "Bioware Edmonchuk" : Dragon Age. Yes it has Dwarves and Elves. And it has Dragon in the title in spite of groans from their fanbase. |
