wow, looks really epic.

...lol at time-exclusive trailer

falloutx5599d ago

I'm going to pre-order this tomorrow. Hopefully i'm not too late for the signature edition.

Kon5599d ago

Im preparing myself for this game by playing lots of DA:O

Objective5599d ago

I must say I'm looking forward to this game more than any other for this year.

Neckbear5599d ago

Honestly, Dragon Age: Origins was only fun thanks to the sense of role-playing.

Take that away, make Dragon Effect 2: Linear as fuck Edition, and yeah, no thanks.

jrbeerman115599d ago

I really hope the game isnt as linear as the narrative may suggest. since your going to different places at different times, I wonder how they are going to handle the exploration factor.

I even wonder if you ever get to choose where you want to go, or will this be more like a JRPG where the locations are limited for quite some time until it opens up near the end.

jdktech20105599d ago

I never got this linear complaint....you still have to do the major story points...is it really that big of a deal that you can't do them in the order of 1,3,2,4 but they "force" you to enjoy a story in the order they want you to of 1, 2, 3, 4.

Someone explain to me how DA:O was that much awesomer because you could do the different towns and areas in whatever order...it didn't enrich my experience at all

Dragon Age Lead Says Including World State Reactivity Felt Like It Was "Irrelevant Or Not Enough"

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.

Mass Effect - N7 DAY 2025

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.

toxic-inferno184d ago

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.

Profchaos184d ago

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

jznrpg184d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb184d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum184d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

BioWare needs to follow Larian’s lead and just “embrace people’s cool choices”, veteran EA developer

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.

Who didn’t see this coming lol

Armaggedon184d ago

BioWare should find the center and focus. Chasing someone else’s shadow will likely lead to failure.
