Technically yes but what this seems to suggest is that the push back won't add development time at all. They're stopping work on DA3 to go work on ToR, then they'll come back to DA3. Dev time will remain the same or worse, shortened.Irridium said:

Hey, it's that guy again. That analist. That's what they call people who talk out of their ass for a living, right?
Not much in the way of news, when you consider Bioware has one full studio in Austin people working on TOR, and their main one in Edmonton working on ME and DA. What possible reason could there be to divert people when there's no need for it?
IMO, this analyst doesn't understand game development or basic logistics.

Good, I still need time to heal the wounds DA2 inflicted on me. I'm still indecisive when it comes to deciding whether I want to buy DA3 or not but for some reason, I'm expecting it to be more akin to the DA2 I can't stand than the DA:O that completely won me over.
You know I weep for Bioware.
They made KOTOR, Baulders Gate, Jade Empire, Origins, and Mass Effect 1.
Now all they are known for is being an EA owned subpar RPG maker.
Its kind of deserved though since their games have just kept getting worse.
ME2 was okay, DA2 was meh, and ME3 was crap.
They cut corners, drop characters and plots at will, and forget what fans came for originally.

The main Bioware studio isn't actually developing it, EA just renamed a development studio 'Bioware Victory' and got them working on it. It's just brand recognition.satsugaikaze said:
If pushing it back means that they'll focus properly and release a good game, then I don't mind waiting at all.
That's not really the feel I'm getting out of the news here though.

This is what I got out of the article as well and it worries me...Ilikemilkshake said:
Once again, Capitan obvious Pachter has come to save the day.
The delay means nothing other than it will be some time till I play DA3 which has been rushed. Just because it has been delayed doesn't mean that they'll spend more time developing it but in fact the opposite is more likely to be true.

Not incredibly, but thanks for asking, website.
Given the ... interesting path the Dragon Age continuity is going I can only say one thing.
Jade Empire 2 please!
Jade Empire 2 please!
Well its not that inaccurate, DA2 expansion got canned earlier in the year, so why not delay the sequel if you are binning the expansion.
Might work out for the best, Maybe they'll have a good long hard look at DA3 when they get back to it after they've recovered from ME3 and the Star Wars MMO.
I love DA:O, but DA2 felt like a chore... mind you it didn't upset me to the point that it upset others, but its something i was glad to have bought second hand.

This seems like a good idea, as much as I liked Dragon Age 2 there is a very noticeable feeling that it was kind of rushed (I always had the feeling that the folks at Bioware had just finished making the big, important bits of the story and were starting to flesh out the rest when someone lost their mind and moved up the release date like 4 months and refused to move it back). So the more time they spend on DA3, the better.
