BioWare - Ray Muzyka Interview @ VG247

From GamesCom comes this interview with BioWare's Ray Muzyka, which touches on all of their current projects and EA Mythic.  On Mass Effect 2:

What about the general buzz around Mass Effect 2? How are you feeling about that?

Ray Muzyka: Awesome. A lot of people have told me that Mass Effect 1 was one of their favourite games ever, and it’s a great honour to hear that. But I can tell them that if they liked Mass Effect 1, they’re going to love Mass Effect 2. We’ve got so many improvements across the board. The intensity of the experience has been amped up, there’s precise shooter controls, tactical deployment of your troops on the field, smart AI, cover mechanics… And there’s a whole range of technical improvements too: the frame-rate’s real fast, faster loading, the elevators are faster, smooth texture loading…

...and Dragon Age and calling it one of their best games:

If you’re going to say Dragon Age is one of the best games you’ve ever played… I’ve finished Dragon Age. I’ve played it extensively on PC and console. I can really stand behind it. I’ve played it a lot. On one of the play-throughs I spent 120 hours. Two hours a day for 60 days, 90 percent of the game, according to the telemetry. And I loved it. Every minute of it. I couldn’t wait to come home. After about ten hours of gameplay, every day I was talking about coming home and I played it for two or three hours, or whatever time I had free, and play it to the early hours. Luckily I don’t sleep as much as my wife. I’d stay up till after midnight and play it after she was asleep.
