A REMASTER OF THE FIRST THREE Dragon Age Games was released by Bioware to EA, but rejected because the editor is “against the remassers.”
Speaking in an interview with the YouTube channel Mrmattyplays, former Dragon Age Executive producer Mark Darrah discussed last year’s entry in the series, Dragon Age: The Veilguardand the mixed reception he received.
Now that Bioware has changed all its approach to MASS EFFECT 5Darrah said he doesn’t know how a new Dragon Age You can make a game and think that the study should redo the first three games, starting with Origins.
The former franchise leader revealed that this concept was launched to EA as the Champions Trilogy, but was rejected.
“Honestly, I think they should do, I don’t think they 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 launched in a moment, quite softly, so launching is a massive exaggeration, it was to retroactively change the first games as if they were a trilogy, call it the Champions League trilogy, so you have these heroes bigger than life … You may do it as a first step.
“The shines, you relaunch again, probably remaste Mass effect franchise and Dragon Age The franchise is in similar states.
“They have a trilogy of games that are quite well received, and then a fourth game that is less well received. I will be curious to see what Mass effect do with Mass [Effect] 5 – How is Andromeda Do you stay there? “

Although EA was not willing to remaster the Dragon AgE Games, launched the Mass Effect legendary edition In 2021, which combined the first three games in the series.
According to Darrah, EA favors Mass effect on Dragon Age Because he wants “conventional success.”
“The problem Dragon Age I suppose that he has had, charitable, would be to say that EA wants conventional success and is difficult, or at least has been historically difficult, for corporate people who come from the sports side of the organization to look at a game like Dragon Age: OriginsIt is super nerd, not very attractive, and says ‘this is a conventional game’, “said Darrah.
“They don’t see it [with Dragon Age]. They look Mass effectThey can see it … there has only been a lot of difficulty with them, there has always been a boost to [Dragon Age] Be more conventional, more accessible. Therefore, it has always had this pressure to be something different, or more, in the case of something like Inquisition – A reaction to that. “
Darrah added: “Historically, EA has been, and I don’t know why, but they have even said it publicly, they are against remassers. I really don’t know why, and it is strange that a public quoted company apparently is against free money, but they seem to be against that. So that is part of that.”
Darrah continued, saying that another problem is that a Dragon Age Remaster is “to some extent undisputed more” to make Mass effectsince the three games were made with different engines.
He explained that the plan for the initial version of Dragon 4 yearsbefore his multiplayer reset and before he became FishermanIt was to use the Frostbite engine again, find a house of mod and then “pay them to make a new version of Dragon Age: Origins“
“There were many releases around, is there any way to bring Dragon Age: Origins forward? And depending on what you do, a remaster you get Dragon Age 2 Free, a new version that does not. “
Unfortunately, working with an older engine would have been a difficult task, with Darrah explaining that Bioware would have had to remaster Dragon Age internally.
“The studies direct their own finances within themselves, and to some extent EA’s position was probably ‘safe, continues and do it, but do it with the money that’ already has,” said Darrah. “And it was like, we can’t do it with the money we already have because we are doing all these other things.”
In January, Bioware announced that it was reducing the study size and moving an un specified developer number to other equipment within EA, while others will focus completely on the next Mass effect game.
Currently, a central team in Bioware is developing MASS EFFECT 5. As a result of the changes, several, for a long time, bioware and Dragon Age The veterans were also fired.
