Do you really need more to make a AAA RPG? 
just give them 10 years or something.... it'll happen eventually. See you in 2035...        /sarcasm

Honestly, and this is pure speculation on my part but I think EA is just giving them one last shot before shuttering the studio. They've got a enough people that develop a proof of concept to present to EA. If EA likes it, they'll give them the necessary staff to complete project. If they don't, it's bye bye Bioware.

Well their next game is the new Mass Effect. If that flops, then there really isnt much value in keeping Bioware around for EA anymore.

I should have been clearer. I don't think Mass Effect 5 will come out at all. I don't think it gets beyond the proof of concept phase at this point.
