Bioware Announces Dragon Age III

For those who've been waiting, wait no longer because Bioware has officially announced Dragon Age III: Inquisition.

This is what Aaryn Flynn, Manager for Bioware Edmonton and Montreal had to say about Dragon Age III's development, “The Dragon Age team has been working on Dragon Age 3: Inquisition for almost two years now. We’ve been poring over player feedback from past games and connecting directly with our fans. They haven’t held back, so we’re not either. With Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, we want to give fans what they’re asking for – a great story with choices that matter, a massive world to explore, deep customization and combat that is both tactical and visceral.” The game will be using a whole new RPG engine that will uses DICE's new Frostbite 2 technology engine as a basis. In other good news, Bioware will also be using the exact same team that has worked on the entire Dragon Age franchise since Origins. The game is slated for a late 2013 launch and is expected to be on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 (not officially announced), there could also be a chance that it will be released on Wii U. Wouldn't be surprised since Mass Effect 3 will be a Wii U launch title later this year. Stay tuned for more info.

Bioware Hint's at Upcoming DLC for Mass Effect?

This weekend at the Montreal Comic Con, Bioware teased fans with an image at the end of their panel the looked like Commander Shepard staring at some red holographic-image.

 The developer has yet to announce what it means but most fans speculate that is has something to do with Omega, the squalid space-station that you visited in Mass Effect 2. The station was involved in the Mass Effect Comic, Ascension that reveals how Aria T'loak lost Omega to Cerberus. This comic was given to free for people who got the N7 collector's edition of the game. And if you played Mass Effect 3 (with a ME2 save file) You remember that Aria is trapped on the Citadel and is planning to retake her beloved Omega. For right now, Bioware is content keeping us in the dark.

I would like to take the time to say that I'm sorry for a lack of posts in the previous months from me. I've had plans to keep up to date and even do a review of Dawnguard but between work and starting School things just fell apart with the blog. But now I'm hoping to at least update once a week for you guys. I also will be doing a review of Darksiders 2 and Minecraft (xbox 360 version) sometime in the near fututre so keep reading!

Leviathan Will Change Mass Effect 3's Ending (Hinting at new DLC)

If you weren't satisfied with Extended Cut ending, then maybe getting the new single-player expansion Leviathan will tickle your fancy. Bioware has confirmed that the DLC will have an impact on the games ending. It is not clear how much and how big this change will be but they're most likely keeping it under wraps for us to figure out.

Leviathan is scheduled to be released later this summer, most possibly by the end of August or the beginning of September.

If you've played Mass Effect 2 then I'm sure you remember Aria, the self-proclaimed ruler of Omega. In ME3 she has become stranded on the Citadel after having Omega taken away from her by the Illusive Man and Cerberus and asked you to rally three of Omega's biggest Mercenary Groups under Aria's banner to one day retake her station.

Some code in the game was found that reveals Aria dialogue that hint's at a mission to retake Omega from Cerberus. However if you already played through Mass Effect 3, the you probably already knew that Bioware had plans for DLC around this story anyway.

Mass Effect 3 getting SIngle Player DLC (And Wii U News)

If you've been tired of all the new Multiplayer DLC for Mass Effect then you'll be happy to know that the rumored DLC titled Leviathan is completely true.

The story of "Leviathan" takes place during the events of Mass Effect 3, Commander Shepard investigates the origin of the Reapers creation as well as finding Leviathan, a supposed rouge Reaper that has indoctrinated a small mining company.

The DLC pack will also let players unlock the raider shotgun (previously exclusive to origin) and the Argus assault rifle (Gamestop Pre-Order). The pack is expected to be released later this summer for 10 dollars on PSN and Origin and 800 MS points On Live. Bioware has also released a new trailer for the DLC too.



A new FireFight pack will also be released August 7th for 2 dollars on Live, PSN and PC that contains 7 new weapons to use in single player. The weapons haven't been revealed yet except for an SMG that was shown in the screenshot below.

And lastly, Bioware and EA has announced that Mass Effect 3 will be a Wii U launch title, while it seems like a gift to future Wii U owners, it seems like they'd be left out of the loop without having both Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. Bioware has solved that problem by including an interactive comic that recaps the events of the First 2 games as well as the Extended cut DLC. The Wii U version will integrate new controls using the Wii U's touch screen to make navigation and commanding your squad much easier.

EA On WII U's Online

Peter Moore, Electronic Arts Chief Operating Officer, seems to have gotten his hands on trying out WII U's Online system. He told FAMITSU that he was extremely happy with what Nintendo's online had to offer.

“It’s a very exciting machine and I’m glad to see it out there. I mean, a hi-def Nintendo platform! There’s nothing that could make me happier. Its online capabilities are really extensive, too, so we’ll be able to differentiate ourselves from the competition more easily with our sports lineup. We can’t announce anything yet, but what I can say is that Nintendo is a company that’s been producing new types of play culture for years. The 3DS and Wii U have taken on that DNA, so I really can’t wait to see what kind of new surprises are waiting for us.”

It seem's EA has come to Nintendo with the idea of their Origins to be used on their platform. I extremely hope, along with very many, that this NEVER happens, and Nintendo doesn't fall into their greedy trap. It would make everything a lot more difficult and frustrating, and frankly EA gives off a cold vibe lately, where as Nintendo has always been bright as Gold for their fans. However if this does happen, it won't keep me from buying the platform. It probably wouldn't keep people away from buying it either, no other console is going to have the substantial games that Nintendo has already promised us with Wii U.

A cheers to you Nintendo, for a brighter feature for your online.
