| | The interesting thing is that with next generation, [hardware platforms] are evolving together, but they're also staying separate, so we want to make sure we accommodate both audiences and make games that are going to be seen as platform-defining games, no matter what platform they're on. | | | BioWare actually has a huge legacy of online gaming, and some people tend to forget that. | | | That is, when people think about BioWare games, they tend to think of key points like really comprehensive and deep RPGs, really memorable characters, and really memorable stories. |

| | The game looks to be about 25-35 hours of gameplay, but since BioWare always seems to underestimate that figure, it could be considerably longer. | | | With the rich Asian texturing, it might have been easy for Jade Empire to move away from the Western style of gaming, but BioWare took great care to see that the gameplay carried a strong Western influence. | | | BioWare may be tucked into the chilly confines of the northern part of Alberta, but the games are red hot, and Jade Empire looks to continue that tradition. |
