Quick Quotes: Zeschuk on launching SWTOR

swtor-aug-26

“We’re doing our very best to get it out as fast as we can. With a game like this, getting it all right, getting all the server stuff right is just as important as getting the game right. We’re trying, as fast as we can. That’s the reality. It’s literally live right now; we’ve been doing a lot of testing with a lot of people behind the scenes. The things you need to get done to ship this are very different from a standard game. This game’s launch is going to be one of the biggest launches ever in the history of gaming. Our job is really simple: making sure it’s great when it comes out. We’re going to do the right thing for the fans, for the product. It’s a big deal but we’re doing our very best to get it out as fast as we can.” – Bioware co-founder Greg Zeschuk on getting SWTOR out the door. (via Eurogamer)

swtorgoodbad

BioWare’s Greg Zeschuk has said it’s “inevitable,” for a new large-scale MMO coming out to be compared to World of Warcraft, and Star Wars: The Old Republic is no exception. However, the co-founder of the RPG studio believes that since its MMO is “using the biggest license in the world,” SWTOR is a different kettle of fish.

SWTOR is the “right kind of bet” for both EA and BioWare, says Muzyka

swtor

EA has never said exactly how much it has spent funding BioWare’s Old Republic MMO, but it has admitted to spending more on it than any other game in the publisher’s history. Rumors claim the sum lands anywhere between $100 – $300 million dollars.

However, despite how much is being spent on it, the BioWare doctors view the title’s expense as more of a “bet” than a “risk”.

Interview – BioWare’s Dr Greg on Dragon Age 2 and the triple-A trap

dragonage23

Greg Zeschuk thinks triple-A console development is a “bad idea right now”. He thinks creativity is being forced out of the top end of games creation by financial pressure. He doesn’t want a new console hardware round, because the world’s developers have only just got their “legs” with this one.

He says the right things. Greg Zeschuk is a sound person. He’s also the co-head of BioWare, the world’s greatest RPG studio. We met him at Develop in Brighton today – following his keynote this morning – to talk about the Great Dragon Age 2 Not Being Able to Choose Your Race controversy, the pressures of working on a project like Star Wars: The Old Republic and tons more.

And did you hear that E3 rumour about Ray quitting BioWare?
