We wanted to wait until we had the experience as a company to build a completely original game right, says joint CEO Ray Muzyka. rules the team has created a bevy of new skills and options for every battle, conversation, and encounter. So put away your Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Ed. Games like The Outer Worlds and Greedfall (from what I know, havent played it yet), while only being AA, provide amazing narrative RPGs while not being limited (like yeah, TOW showed its budget at times, but it was never detrimental). Jade Empire is BioWares first game based on an original intellectual property meaning everything was built from scratch, including the nonlinear story and the rules set that powers everything from dialogue options to combat. Weve got a lot of freedom in the new engine, he says, and were really pushing it to the max. Greg Zeschuk, BioWare joint CEO, credits the games new graphics engine for the lovingly rendered landscapes and surreal palaces featuring otherworldly layouts and geometry that gamers will visit. You wont be planet hopping as in developer BioWares other console outing, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, but that doesnt mean you wont get to some exotic locales. So while this game is being developed in not-so-mysterious Canada, its mythological Chinese setting will certainly interest action-RPG fans. The mysteries of the Orient have long fascinated explorers, adventurers, and videogame fanboys. It has a similar feel to Knights of the Old Republic again and it works as well if not better. There are meters for your health, chi, and focus to keep track of how much of each you have left.Īs with most RPGs leveling up allows growth in areas of your choice and in Jade Empire you'll be able to choose an increase between your health, chi, and focus potential and then select between upgrading the strengths of the different attack styles. You can change your attack style at will, which is a unique style such as using a sword or turning into a giant toad, use your chi (magic) to increase the strength of you attack, or slow things down so you can better position yourself for attack using focus.

There are so many different ways to attack, its hard to find any compliant at all. The gameplay follows suit with a dynamic action style RPG. If you played Knights of the Old Republic, you'll recognize a similar story telling style that kept you guessing till the end. You really find yourself absorbed into the story early on and it keeps you till the end.

To start, a solid story is developed with twists and turns that will keep you pushing well into the night. We also saw the threats the outside world had, as it is home to monsterous creatures and dangerous storms.Īt the Press Conference, EA also revealed that additional information and the gameplay will be shown at the Microsoft Press Conference later today.So what's so great about Jade Empire? It really comes down to how the entire game comes together. And it’s hard to imagine that a complete overhaul of Bioware’s loot shooter would’ve been enough to make me feel anything more than ambivalence toward it. The game was a waste of the studios talents. Also shown in the trailer, was a high-tech armored suit which players will probably have to wear in order to explore the world beyond the walls. Anthem Was a Mistake, but BioWare Trying Something New Was Not.

I hope ALL of those within Bioware genuinely take the fair criticisms they received with Dragon Age: Inquisition/Mass Effect: Andromeda to heart, and really strive to deliver a game that they themselves, as 'Gamers/Developers' can truly be proud of, along with releasing a polished/finished game that all of their fanbase can be proud of as well. Watch the reveal trailer for Anthem below:įrom the trailer, you can see that the game called Anthem, features a post-apocalyptic world where you will be in a city protected by the outside wilderness.

It is not surprising to see the new IP, as during an earning call in May, EA CEO Andrew Wilson revealed that they are working on a brand new action IP with BioWare. The developers did not reveal much regarding the new IP, however, they did state that this game will be nothing like the games they have released in the past. At their Press Conference at E3, EA revealed a brand new game that is being developed by BioWare called Anthem.
