EA merges BioWare, Mythic

June 24th, 2009, 10:46 am by Jayson Peters

EA is restructuring its RPG and MMO games development into a new group that includes both Mythic and BioWare.

BioWare is the studio behind Dragon Age, Mass Effect and the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic. Mythic Entertainment is the studio behind Ultima Online, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning and Dark Age of Camelot.

Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer hits hard

The wealth of riches from E3 continues. We’ve seen some pretty impressive news and footage already, but as far as I’m concerned the trailer for Bioware’s online game Star Wars: The Old Republic, blows everything else away. This game looks better and better every time I see it. I’m willing to hand my credit card over right now. The only question now is who’s cooler; Sith or Bounty Hunter?

Bioware continues to prove that they’re one of the best in the business. After watching that trailer, I think LucasFilms should just step aside and let Bioware take over making Star Wars movies.  I got more out of 4 minutes worth of footage there then I did out of the entirety of the last two or three official movies.

Details emerging on new Star Wars online RPG

trooper-sizedEver yearned for the blank anonymity of the Storm Trooper life? Do you want to be a part of the faceless throng responsible for maintaining order in the Galactic Republic?  Well, Star Wars: The Old Republic is prepared to offer you just that. Bioware’s upcoming online role-playing game has released information on the second class to see the light of day, the Trooper. While not as flashy as the first class to be revealed, the Bounty Hunter, Troopers have quite a bit going for them, extensive combat training, massive firepower and, of course, the distinctive armor. Troopers appear to be a long-range damage dealing class with both self-buffs and debuffs for foes.

Now that I’ve kicked my World of Warcraft habit after 4+ years, I find myself yearning for a new place to get my MMORPG fix. Bioware has been responsible for some of the finest games in recent memory and SW:TOR looks to continue that trend. It’s certainly got to be better than the first Star Wars MMORPG. Though it is still in development, I’m prepared to accept Star Wars: The Old Republic as my next obsession. Unless, of course, DC Universe Online comes out first…
