BioWare also working on "small" MMO

Mass Effect-developer and RPG-expert BioWare is currently working on a "small scale MMO". This next to some explorations concerning Flash, browser and iPhone games.

According to Greg Zeschuk this is due to the fact that online and smaller games keep getting bigger. Here's what he said at the Develop Conference:
Every year it's a little bit down. You can't blame the economy anymore. Really, it's about online. We're obviously working on Star Wars: The Old Republic, a big MMO. But we're working on smaller MMO type game games across the group - things all over the space.

We explored lots of different kinds of games. We did some Facebook stuff. We did an iPhone game for Mass Effect. It wasn’t the best one – people point that out to us. We learned the hard way. The learning there was you have to iterate. The team went back and made some more games that we never released that were way better. Large scale MMOs. Small scale MMOs. We're going to continue to do triple-A console, but we're also going to be exploring pretty aggressively.
He also believes consoles aren't necessarily the future. The future is in new stuff that's currently showing its head:
There will be some stuff you'll see down the road, within the next year, that shows what we're doing in that regard."

I used to play this game called O Game, by Gameforge. The galaxy is spinning away on some server and you're just poking at it in HTML and moving space ships around. That's an MMO. So it could be almost anything.

We want to expand because, you look at what kids are playing on. Kids are playing on iPhones and iPads. The 3DS looks pretty amazing. All these platform options, we want to be touching on all those. We did one DS game. We actually had another DS game in development at one point but decided to hold off on that and look at iPhone instead.
Finally he did state that we shouldn't be too worried; large-scale projects like The Old Republic and Dragon Age will remain on the menu.
