- Bioware launched a remaster of the first three Dragon Age games, but the concept was refused
- Ancient Dragon Age Executive producer Mark Darrah said that remastered games were called upon the champions trilogy
- He also said that “EA wanted a consumer success” and is “against remasters”
A remaster of the first three Dragon Age The games were launched by Bioware in EA, but refused because the publisher is “against remasters”.
Speaking in an interview with the YouTube channel MRMATTYPLAYS, old Dragon Age Executive producer Mark Darrah discussed last year’s last entry into the series, Dragon Age: The Veilguardand the mixed reception he received.
Now that Bioware has moved all its goal Mass effect 5Darrah said he didn’t know how a new Dragon Age The game can be done and thinks that the studio should redo the first three games, starting with Origins.
The former franchise advance then revealed that this concept was presented to EA as a champions trilogy, but was refused.
“I honestly think they should do – I don’t think they will do it, but they should do it – a remaster of the first three [Dragon Age games]”Darrah said (thank you, IGN).” One of the things we presented at one point – quite slowly, so launched is a massive overestimation – was to retroactively rename the first games as if they were a trilogy, call it the champion trilogy, so you have these heroes bigger than life … maybe you make a first step.
“You shine them, you make them – probably the remaster, probably not a remake – see what is happening and I may go from there. I am very curious to see … in a strange and twisted way, the Mass effect franchise and the Dragon Age The franchise is in similar states.
“They have a fairly well -made game trilogy, then a fourth game less well received. I will be curious to see what Mass effect do with Mass [Effect] 5 – How do Andromeda settle there? “”
To watch
Although EA was not inclined to remaster Dragon AGhe games, he published the Legendary mass edition In 2021, which combined the first three games in the series.
According to Darrah, EA promotes Mass effect on Dragon Age Because he wants “consumer success”.
“The problem Dragon Age A, Charitably, I suppose that would be to say that the EA wants the consumer success and it is difficult – or at least it was historically difficult – for companies, people who come on the sports side of the organization to watch a game like Dragon Age: OriginsWho is super cheesy, not very attractive, and say “it’s a general public game”, “said Darrah.
“They don’t see it [with Dragon Age]. They look Mass effectThey can see it … there have just been a lot of difficulties with them, there has always been a push to [Dragon Age] be more common, more accessible. He therefore always had this pressure to be something different, or more – in the case of something like Inquisition – A reaction to that. “”
Darrah added: “EA was historically – and I do not know why, but they even said it publicly – they are a little against remasters. I don’t really know why, and it is strange for a listed business to be apparently against free money, but they seem to be against it. So, that is part.”
Darrah continued, saying that another problem is that a Dragon Age Remaster is “to a certain extent without knowing” more difficult “to do than Mass effectBecause the three games were all made using different engines.
He explained that the plan for the initial version of Dragon 4 years oldbefore his multiplayer restart and before he became Veilguardwas to use the Frostbite engine again, find a mod house, then “pay to make a remake of Dragon Age: Origins. “”
“There were a lot of land around, there is a way to bring Dragon Age: Origins Before? And according to what you do, a remaster that you somehow get 2 year old dragon For free, a remake that you do not do. “”
Unfortunately, working with an older engine would have been a difficult task, Darrah explaining that Bioware should have remaster Dragon Age internally.
“The studios manage their own finances in themselves, and to a certain extent, EA’s position was probably” sure, go for it and do it, but do it with the money you already have “,” said Darrah. “And it was like, we cannot do it with the money we already have because we do all these other things.”
In January, Bioware announced that it reduced the studio reduction and moves an unperthured number of developers to other teams within EA, while others will be fully focused on the next Mass effect game.
Currently, a basic bioware team is developing Mass effect 5. Following changes, several long -standing biowares and Dragon Age The veterans were also dismissed.
