Dream developer mashup

Bioware and Valve, I don't know what they'd make but it'd be awesome D:

While I am still new to the forums, I believe the technical term is "ninja'd."

The only problem is: Where do you put each studio? Valve's games, such as Half Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, ect. usually tells a game through experience in-game, rather than cutscenes or having things directly explained to the player with lengthy dialogue.

The obvious idea behind this combo is to give valve most of the direction over gameplay, and bioware most of the direction over the story and player actions. Would such a combo hamper both dev's style of game? I'd say it's very possible.

An open world FPS with gameplay by Crytek and Epic, a story and some RPG elements by Bioware, and multiplayer by Dice.

EDIT: Oh, only two? Well we can just assume that they merged into Epic Dice and Cryoware in the near future.

That's an excellent point you've made. It would be hard to create balance between the studios, but if you just picked the things that each developer do best and put it together the result would still be pretty damn awesome I think. Or maybe mixing? For example, both Valve and Bioware have amazing story writers, if they worked together on the story telling it could give birth to some really interesting games.

It's true, if they both found a way to work together and combine their styles into a single work that the game could be amazing, but both studios already do amazing work by themselves, and I'm glad they're making games in the first place.

I second that!

It would also take 250 years to release.

Haha true, but we'll all be there waiting for it, only mildly complaining about how long it's taking

At least it would be faster than if 3D Realms (Duke Nukem) and Silicon Knights (Too Human) paired up.

Yes, but I think pretty much anything could be faster than those two paired up
