slyvarius Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I wonder if we will see a huge jump in bug fixing and content development now that all the ME3 resources have been freed up. Or at least the ones that aren't troubleshooting launch/bugs that ME3 has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabaal Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I imagine the ME3 devs will be too busy for the next year making DLC to turn it into a decent game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirRobin Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 ME3 is out? Crap, need to get to the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickabrack Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 no because of a couple reasons 1) Most importantly, different teams. ME3 budget belongs to ME3 team. 2) too many cooks in the kitchen destroy the kichen (see Hell's Kitchen for reference) 3) 1.2 looks amazing 4) I like making lists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA/Mythic, or "Bioware In Name Only", which develops TOR is in Austin, Texas. They have nothing to do with one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaimiIflya Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 ME3 = Made in Edmonton, AB. (Multiplayer made in Montreal, QC) SWTOR = Made in Austin, TX. Yeah... no change will happen with SWTOR because of ME3, Edmonton is likely winding down from ME3, and working on DLC/Moving on to the Next Bioware Project.

jgoldsack Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Edmunton, Canada. EdmOnton. There is no U in the name. At least not for the 24 years I lived there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipher_nemo Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) 1) Most importantly, different teams. ME3 budget belongs to ME3 team. This. I think that post pretty much should have ended any need to discuss this further. Edited March 7, 2012 by cipher_nemo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagrouch Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I wish they didn't release SWTOR/ME 3 so close to each other? My Shepard needs to finish his story, but SWTOR grind takes priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogitu Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 im sure me3 and swtor had completely different teams working on each game .. there is nothing to be freed up. so that automatically means nothing can be freed up? /facepalm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyvarius Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 I understand that they were different teams (though I didn't know it was a geographic distinction) my point is that now that ME3 is out, the powerhouse of talent behind it has some free time. Personally i'd imagine plenty of that DLC was developed right along with ME3, so they just have to stagger its release and go cash paychecks. Now that the ME3 development team no longer has ME3 to develop they'll have to find another project to work on. Why wouldn't you take some of those devs and put them on your ongoing behemoth of a project, TOR? Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA/Mythic, or "Bioware In Name Only", which develops TOR is in Austin, Texas. They have nothing to do with one another. That's NOT true. "Bioware Mythic" is actually in Fairfax, VA and had DAOC, Warhammer, and Ultima Online. What IS true is that Bioware Austin, SWTOR, brought over several people from Mythic.

Kabaal Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Go look at the reviews for ME3, not the paid for ones that were around before release but the avalanche of horrid ones since it was released yesterday. I've played it through once already, yes its that short, and uninstalled it. Compared to the other two it's a shoddy piece of crap. I wouldn't want those devs working on TOR.

You assign a developer a project, period. "Go write some code so we can have sandbox space combat." 3) ..what? 4) Clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
