BioWare Co-Founder Dr. Greg Zeschuk Talks Dragon Age: Origins
August 15, 2008
There aren’t many doctors in game development, but acclaimed Canadian developer BioWare (based in Edmonton) has two of them. Dr. Greg Zeschuk, co-general manager BioWare/vice prez at Electronic Arts and Dr. Ray Muzyka, co-general manager BioWare/vice prez at Electronic Arts sit at the top of the food chain at BioWare, which Electronic Arts bought seven months ago. I caught up with Dr. Zeschuk in Los Angeles while he was showing off his company’s latest game franchise, Dragon Age: Origins.
For those unfamiliar with BioWare, they’ve never had a non-blockbuster game. Their RPG roster runs with titles like Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Jade Empire, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic or Mass Effect, you’ve played one of their epic role-playing games. Dragon Age, which isn’t due out this year, marks a return to their original franchise, Baldur’s Gate, only minus the Dungeons & Dragons license. Zeschuk discusses this latest project, which has been in development for over four years already. Hit the jump for the full interview. Read the rest of this entry »
