BioWare Reflects on Potential Dragon Age Collection, Calling It Difficult But Doable
BioWare reveals the challenges in creating a Dragon Age collection due to the games' use of different engines, unlike the Mass Effect Legendary Collection.
The possibility of a Dragon Age collection, similar to BioWare’s 2021 Mass Effect Legendary Collection, presents notable challenges, according to a recent interview with BioWare’s Director of Product Development. With experience at BioWare dating back to the original Dragon Age: Origins in 2009, Epler expressed enthusiasm for the idea, while acknowledging the difficulties due to the series’ engine diversity.
Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II were developed using BioWare’s custom Eclipse Engine, while the third game, Dragon Age: Inquisition, was built using Frostbite, EA’s proprietary engine, initially designed for the Battlefield series. This contrast creates a significant technical hurdle for a remaster. In the interview, Epler noted, “I think I’m one of about maybe 20 people left at BioWare who’s actually used Eclipse,” emphasizing the uniqueness of each title’s engine.
You're viewing a single thread.
Just remaster Origins, it was lightning in a bottle, every single one since Origins has been a disappointment. I'd likely pay to play it on the steam deck.
Honestly though origins wasn't even that great. I thoroughly enjoyed it but still felt ehh about it. Dragon Age just needs to die as a series
Remaster is just not real, they will not touch the old engine again ever.
The possibility is a remake in another engine and judging by the quality of their last games well I don't want a remake.
Mass Effect LE still uses Unreal 3 just with better textures and shaders. They could do the same thing for DAO.
DAO is not Unreal, it's Eclipse Engine, they never touched that again.
