Insider Gaming sources, who have spoken to Insider Gaming under the request of anonymity have said that Dragon Age Dreadwolf might be further away than previous rumors have suggested.

• The game still lacks features;
• Dragon Age Dreadwolf moved from its intended multiplayer components to a single-player experience;
• These multiplayer components are still 'felt' to some extent in the current version of the game (feels like Destiny);
• Dreadwolf has a lot of similarities with previous games in the franchise;
• You can recruit members to your team;
• You cannot control your team members, but you can issue commands to cast abilities;
• Combat will be hack n' slash-like and will be like Final Fantasy XV;
• The release date is totally unknown (maybe 2024).

 

[Gudji]

Bioware is fucking dead.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Didn't everyone and their mother complained about FFXV's battle system? (I personally had no major issues, but still)

 

[wvnative]

It's probably just talking in a general sense.

 

[Skifi28]

I wonder, if this fails is Bioware dead for good?


When I say dead I don't mean to the fans, I mean killed by EA.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

 

[Chukhopops]

Literally the worst real-time combat system I can think of, why would you compare your upcoming game to this?

I hope that’s not true because DA:I had an alright combat system.

 

[Dis]

Damn thats like saying

The game will be like Balan Wonderworld

[Mister Wolf]

Final Fantasy XV's combat was terrible.

 

[LordCBH]

Please don’t be as shit as andromeda please don’t be as shit as andromeda please don’t be as shit as andromeda please don’t be as shit as andromeda

 

[Beechos]

Didnt inquisition already have real time combat? If anything this would probably be an evolution on that.

 

[Mister Wolf]

They'd be better off copying Xenoblade.

 

[Rush2112]

Lol FFXV

 

[kiphalfton]

That kind of statement hurts a game more than it helps it.

Are they that out of touch with people's expectations, they actually think that's a good thing

 

[Brigandier]

Final Fantasy XV's combat was terrible.

It was a big steaming pile of Rhino shit wasn't it...

Hope this is total BS

 

[Punished Miku]

Didn't everyone and their mother complained about FFXV's battle system? (I personally had no major issues, but still)

If they changed to single player its probably AI teammates now with some team attacks since multiplayer is gone.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I would prefer if they just did DA: Inquisition combat again. The combat wasn’t good but it isn’t nearly as bad as FFXV.

 

[March Climber]

Final Fantasy XV's combat was terrible.

I thought it was fine, just way too easy.

 

[Fuz]

When I say dead I don't mean to the fans, I mean killed by EA.

Why aren't they already? We lost way better studios more easily.

 

[Valt7786]

Cant control other party members? #notmydragonage

 

[Fbh]

All of that sounds awful. The story should suck too given the people involved.
So yeah we are getting the complete modern Bioware package.

 

[adamsapple]

• You cannot control your team members, but you can issue commands to cast abilities;

 

[LectureMaster]

Jeez, I guess most the resembling part is that it's gonna take ten years to come out like FFXV.

 

[IDKFA]

Music to my fucking ears.

FFXV is one of the greatest games ever made and the combat in that game is simply sublime. If this new Dragon Age is a fraction of the brilliance of FFXV then we're in for a treat.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I’ll go against the grain and say that’s not necessarily a bad thing. FF XV’s combat was kinda fun and had a lot of potential.

Give it a more interesting variety of classes/skill trees to play with and a better camera, it could be legitimately great.



That said, the chances of this game being good are slim to none. I’m not getting my hopes up.

 

[Raphael]

Bioware is fucking dead.

Has been since dragon age 2. DG1 was their last good game. Such a wasted studio.

 

[Robochobo]

Humble beginnings with wonderful memories of Baldurs Gate, Jade Empire, KotoR, and Mass Effect. Crashing into a brick wall with Inquistion, Anthem, Andromeda and ME3. I honestly have the absolute lowest expectations. After Mass Effect 2 I think Bioware flew close to the sun. Please just go back to making CRPGs...

 

[MiguelItUp]

What's sad is I'm sure a lot of the fans that have been holding out for this have now been turned off reading about the change in combat.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

They'd be better off copying Xenoblade.

So FF XII then.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Please don’t be as shit as andromeda please don’t be as shit as andromeda please don’t be as shit as andromeda please don’t be as shit as andromeda

Speaking of, I bet the next Mass Effect is in even worse shape.

 

[Nautilus]

"Combat will be like FF XV"

 

[semiconscious]

Literally the worst real-time combat system I can think of, why would you compare your upcoming game to this?

I hope that’s not true because DA:I had an alright combat system.

yep. these people just cannot seem to leave well enough alone...

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Could have copied FFXII or FFVIIR, which have vastly different but excellent combat systems. FFXV is a bizarre choice if true considering how messy it was.

 

[Camreezie]

This game sounds worse the more they talk about it

 

[RoboFu]

Didn't everyone and their mother complained about FFXV's battle system? (I personally had no major issues, but still)

Not me! That was the best thing about the game and why I kept playing.

 

[Raven117]

 

[ANDS]

The routine combat in FFXV was fun, but I do not think this is what they mean - or I certainly hope it isn't. I'm hoping the similarities are just down to not directly controlling your party and instead relying on them for special attacks.

. . .also "hack and slash" is not at all how I would describe the combat in FFXV; honestly this all sounds a bit like extrapolating on vague tidbits.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

WTF is Dragon Age: Dreadwolf?

Did they shitcan the next Dragon Age RPG for some GaaS while I was sleeping?

 

[Wildebeest]

Bioware games have always had funky design. People suffer through their janky systems and combat because in the end you can romance nonhuman nerd girls.

 

[Elitro]

I was actually looking forward to the game, if that is true then i have no more hope

 

[KàIRóS]

Oh god please no, that press and hold one button to attack and ocasionally press and hold another button to dodge has to be one of the most braindead combat systems ever designed.

 

[GymWolf]

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

RIP RPG, hello ARPG…

 

[LordCBH]

Speaking of, I bet the next Mass Effect is in even worse shape.

 

[Umbasaborne]

How the fuck is the release date unknown…so fucking sick of every game taking 10 years to make these days

 

[Corndog]

Why aren't they already? We lost way better studios more easily.

Look who is directing the game.

 

[Madflavor]

Bioware should've been dead years ago. It's incredible how this company has managed to continue shambling on like a zombie.

 

[Kumomeme]

the wheel is just similliar toward FFXV. not whole combat is like that game.
