Gamescom 2010 is underway in Germany and today was a downright huge day for PS3 gamers with the news of Mass Effect 2 coming their way. But BioWare wasn't done droppin' bombs on us. The release date for Dragon Age II was released as well, it's March 8, 2011. But that's not all...in a Billy Mays-esque maneuver they went ahead and threw in an added bonus...
Dragon Age 2 set the precedent that the series would always carry our choices over, but was it worth it?
If the choices won't matter, why bother? Bioware works so hard at giving meaningful choices but rarely if ever carrying out the impact of such choices to the end.
Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."
I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed
Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.
I feel the same way.
I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?
Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.
Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year
So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?
Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”
Speaking on a recent episode of the FRVR Podcast, veteran EA developer Alex Hutchinson—who worked on The Sims 2, Spore and Army of Two: The 40th Day—explained that the studio is already no longer the studio fans fell in love with, but it should be safe from censorship of its games’ political beliefs.
BioWare should find the center and focus. Chasing someone else’s shadow will likely lead to failure.
I love this guys personality, he made me laugh a lot during the article, I'd like to meet him in real life, I think we'd be good friends.
Anyway, on topic, I'm looking forwards to this game.
TOO LATE, my pants just exploded from the awesomeness of this game!
Cant wait to play this title.
Oh boy.. more random CG.. just like the opening movie of Dragon Age Origins that had absolutely nothing to do with the game.
Exciting!
Seriously, why did people say they liked that one Star Wars CG trailer so much? Now they wont stop making them.
I like the trailer CG or not, I like it. Haven't played DAO yet but
