| Mass Effect 4: Dragon Age: Inquisition Not a "Template" Posted: 04 Feb 2015 04:04 AM PST In a new post on the NeoGAF site, Bioware's Aryn Flynn has indicated that while Dragon Age: Inquisition and Mass Effect will feature some similarities, Mass Effect 4 will build on its own unique experience. Some of the supposition stems from the fact that both utilize the Frostbite 4 game engine and that developers have said that ME4 will feature large explorable maps similar to what has been seen in Dragon Age: Inquisition.   |

| General: A Sad Day For MMOG Enthusiasts Like Me Posted: 02 Feb 2015 03:57 PM PST As often happens, I'm writing this column on Sunday. It's slated to appear on Tuesday, which will be the last day for Massively. If you primarily see this as the closure of a key MMORPG.com competitor, it may not seem particularly unfortunate. From a broader picture point of view, however, I'm saddened because I want to believe the growing and deepening interest in the MMOG genre is sufficient to support more sites like it and this one, not fewer.   |

The developer of the title has no issue with describing her game as Minecraft-like, but that doesn't mean MyDream is just an exact copy of the popular game that was originally created by the now famous (and rich) Notch.   |
