Dragon Age.. Look How They've Massacred my Boy

[Schadenfreude]

Didn’t look like it but probably is.

It's funny seeing all these studios for EA using Frostbite better than DICE who developed it; then again, most of the people who worked on it no longer work for EA.

just EA being cheap and not wanting to pay for a 3rd party development engine.

sidenote: I hate the way the Frostbite Physics treats passing in Madden. Now arch in the ball. It treats the ball like a line drive bullet too often. Hate it.

It's exactly the bolded. Unreal just takes a percentage of your proceeds once you start making real money, and they don't want to split the pie any more ways than they absolutely need to.

What's crazy is that if you account for lost revenue and extended development costs from trying to make Frostbite do shyt it was never meant to do in the first place, they've probably blown about as much as they would've had to give Epic in royalties anyway.

Funny thing is, Frostbite isn't a terrible engine; the problem is, when DICE developed Frostbite 2, and Bad Company 2 with it, the physics were REALLY good (along with the graphics). The engine got worse when EA made DICE develop a fork off of the original code base instead of a refining and tweaking the code/fixing bugs like Unreal engine does. That also is exactly why Frostbite workflow & FrostEd is a gigantic PITA to use.

Inquisition was trash

The unfortunate truth and I say this as someone raised off KotOR, Mass Effect, and Jade Empire. Them dudes been cooked

the time for fear is long-passed.

that's my point.

it's a FPS game engine, not for sports.

WOAT, trailer trash, dunno why anyone would thought to introduce a new dragon age game this way……

I already figured it’s going to be less of a RPG, gameplay better look fun

They battlefield V’d that shyt

The art style was... jarring. But... I still believe.

I enjoyed inquisition. This looks bad; it looks like a corny battle royale game or budget MMORPG. The character design was kind of cartoonish.

 

[ReggieFlare]

Definitely looks way more cartoony than I would like but I’ll reserve judgment

Motherfukkers complain just to complain

 

[Grand Conde]

I hope this shyt ends up being as good as DA: Inquisition.

But that game was ass?

Probably cause they were originally going to make this a "live-service" game
