The good folks at
IncGamers had a chat with one of
BioWare's founding medical doctors,
Ray Muzyka, about the company's history of classic single-player gaming and its upcoming foray into the world of massively multiplayer with
Star Wars: The Old Republic. Muzyka says that the line between solo and collective experiences is blurring: even traditionally single-player games are dipping into the vast realms of multiplayer co-op and competition through online social tools and downloadable content.
Speaking specifically, he says that
Dragon Age: Origins is a good example, with
online social features for what is definitely a single-player experience. And
Mass Effect 2, he says, will explore these ideas through its own DLC. In fact, he outright guarantees us that BioWare is "planning more [DLC] than in
Mass Effect 1." As players who couldn't get enough of
the two packs on offer for the original game, that's
Muzyka to our ears.
