W-T-F!Weird.. but.. okay.TRUTH.You know, there's a good chance you'll have to play this with a mouse and keyboard too, right? It's EA though, so, I'm sure there will be some kind of clunky console port in the future.. just look at Red Alert 3 :P

2008-07-10 02:53:19

Lol :D

Ye, they will have a trailer on Gametrailers TV.

Still we are getting the site update! Im still up, and wont go sleep until i see it >_< (2 am here :P)

Dragon Age: origins... Not sure i like much the Origins there, just Dragon Age was better....

Oh boy... good announcement :(

I hope the trailer is good at least. Great that this is Biowares PC RPG, should be better than those other games :) Should have good inventory and UI :) World builder too? :)

It happens UrukHaiPT. They probably just weren't ready.

2008-07-10 13:55:58

Oh Well, at least i hope trailer will be worth it...

And since they will show it at E3, we will see more of it next week.

Dragon Age logo is pretty cool now, love the dark feel it gives, hopefully DA will be mature as they say.

Also very cool the face of a girl on the blood splatter :)

Looks interesting--much better quality than the old media. I wonder what type of game it will be.

Personally I am waiting for an skill-based action title/RPG hybrid. There really aren't any of these. A merging of GoW, HS, NG, etc fighting styles in an RPG esque game would be totally epic, especially if an MMO.

Actually, the Endorphin Indy game style combat in an RPG would do me just fine. I am sure that BW will do whatever works best for this game, but the fact they tried some FPS elements in ME make me hopefully that BW will be the first to meaningfully merge genres. Depth+Skill based twitch action... other than navigation a mouse to a menu and clicking really fast :P

There's tons of information on what kind of game it will be in the links on the first page. Much of this info is taken from their forums, or older interviews and previews, but much of it is probably still very relevant. There's information on the party system, the world, the lore, and potential insight into the game system in general.

All signs point to this being the spiritual successor to BG, just without D&D's world or systems. I wouldn't expect this to be much of a "skill based action title." You can bet that it will be deep and original though, given the talent behind it, the length of its development cycle, and the direction they've already stated for the title. There hasn't been much info in terms of combat, but I suspect we'll see this game in depth next week, and that mystery will be solved.

I just hope it's a good deal longer and more epic than their console games (as much as I adore KOTOR), and I'm pretty sure it will be. I'm sufficiently pleased with the teaser, they've obviously been hard at work over the last three years since this game debuted at E3 2005. I can't wait to see some real gameplay next week.Thank god it's not.. but I can definitely see where you're coming from.

2008-07-12 11:51:39

Thanks Grift. I wasn't trying to crap on the game, as anything BW is pretty much gold. ME inclines me to think BW is never lazy in regards to progressing and improving games and is willing to defy genre limits to make the best game possible, hence my general optimism, even if it doesn't apply to DA which will be a sight for sore eyes for fans of BG. My cousin is a huge BG fan.

No doubt, I didn't mean to suggest you were. I just don't combat will come down to twitch actions, though I would not be surprised to see something either real time, or semi-real time. I guess we'll see next week. I'm pretty excited.

2008-07-12 11:55:00

It seems they went really crazy on productions values this time around. Hopefully Mass Effect 2 will be on par with it. However, this particular fantasy setting seems extremely generic - obviously I don't know the story and so on, but it really gives LITR-like impressions, which I'm quite frankly sick of by now.

I'm glad to see Bioware return to the fantasy genre personally. I'm down with them continuing down their science fiction route, but let's not pretend that we're not seeing loads more sci-fi games than we are fantasy titles. For a sci-fi fix, there's always Mass Effect 2, and most likely their MMORPG.

2008-07-12 12:04:59

It's not that I hate fantasy... But there are different kinds of fantasy. Jade Empire is a fantasy setting as well, but feels much more unique than the DA:O trailer.

Unique isn't always better, especially in terms of sales.

The pervasiveness of orcs, elves, dwarfs, demons, fairies, ogers, imps, and so forth in these genres is because of their rich lore and ready built fan appeal. What makes them interesting is the nuance and design, which I would agree with you szaromir, this did look pretty generic to me as well. High production values, but generic. Very LOTR like (at first I almost thought it may be a spin off of such).

i hope it's just short trailer and game will be dark fantasy RPG inspired by George R.R. Martin's A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE and Frank Frazetta's art like Bioware said.

That's true but I still hope for a game with Arcanum's art direction even though Troika is dead :(

sorry my eng is weak.

2008-07-12 14:23:13

Very epic, and i'm looking forward to seeing more at E3.

Son, this is a big day for you. Today, you become the man of the house, because, when we get home, your mother is going to kill me.

2008-07-12 14:33:09

I hope the fighting is more like in BG than other Bioware games.

ME has really boring shooting. JE fighting again bad. Kotar had cool fighting. More talking less fighting please Bioware. Better side quests too :p

The teaser really didn't tell anything. I hope to see some pics at E3 about the actually game, like fighting, inventory, UI and you know that stuff.
