[Luzur]

Todd's execution date?

 

[Konjad]

i dont care

 

[Texas Red]

A single picture with a title on it and a promise that more information will become available soon.

If they give a release date, it will be this year or maximum the beginning of the next years. This in turn will be a lie so the gamers will feel more comfortable discussing it on the forums and will be more eager to receive new info. As the release date closes in, they will announce that the game is so huge that it just needs more work and love, as if though they couldn't estimate whether they would need 1 or 2 years to finish the work and weren't aware that the game won't be released in 3 months.

There will also of course soon be an interview where the interviewer commenting on the past success of Biowhore and inquires if anything can possible become more awesome. The interview will reveal absolutely nothing since, apparently, commenting anything on your game requires permission. Supposedly the god Marketing Research has showed that giving away any information in such a early stage(even though they have been developing it for 2 or 3 years) is against His Will.

The game in question will probably be a sequel, prequel or a spin off because Bioware already has DA and ME, possibly the most generic examples of both genres, and they won't be able to offer anything new.

There will probably be a single new gimmick.

 

[Cenobyte]

Bioware will finally be renamed "EA Edmonton".

As a bonus, we will witness the ascension of the Biodocs as CEOs of EA and the combination of their two IPs into one epic videogame.
Instead of making Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3, we will get the uber-awesome Dragon Effect. Featuring purple space elves, sex in underwear and qunari space pirates. Writing and design will be made by Drew Gaider.

Dragon Effect/Mass Age (Age Effect?) would actually be awesome. It could be so over-the-top dark and gritty (DA) and EXTREEEME collargrabby (ME) that you'd never stop laughing.

Also, I love space + traditional fantasy. It's a fetish of mine. (Wizardry 8 fuck yes)

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

Age Effect > Mass Age, or is it?

 

[dragonfk]

Fuck. Dragon Effect sounds awesome!

 

[Darth Roxor]

What will happen on March 29th?

Dicks.

 

[racofer]

It will be the vehicle dlc for ME2.

 

[Black_Willow]

What will happen on March 29th?

Dicks.

Billions of them!

 

[Sceptic]

Multi-headed ones preferably.

One of three things:
1) The Old Republic announcement
2) Dragon Age 2 announcement
3) Mass Effect 3 announcement

from most to least likely.

Ninja edit: vehicle DLC for ME2 is already out.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Ninja edit: vehicle DLC for ME2 is already out.

Sounds like Mass Effect 1. Why would anyone want that?



... oh, wait

 

[racofer]

Ninja edit: vehicle DLC for ME2 is already out.

Thanks for the input, "acquiring" it now

 

[Lockkaliber]

KotOR 3?

 

[Xor]

My money's on some The Old Republic info. ME2 and Awakening came out too recently for it to be anything involving them.

 

[Whipporowill]

Supposedly the countdown clock isn't up on SW:Tor page, so probably nothing to do with the bald repubic.

 

[HanoverF]

Probably something gay like a Biotard expo.

 

[DriacKin]

Fuck. Dragon Effect sounds awesome!

Mass Dragon sounds awesomer!

 

[Gragt]

DA or ME MMO.

 

[TheCowburner]

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood 2

 

[Gragt]

The Elder Scrolls V: Goatfuck.

 

[Volourn]

"ME2 and Awakening came out too recently for it to be anything involving them."

Eh. That doesn't prove anything. Awakening was annoucned I believe a mere 2 months after DA was released, and then released 3 months later. 8shrug*

That said, if that supposed date for early next year is to be believed, it could be an announcement for DA2 since that would give them a year to pimp DA2.


Chances are it's something I don't care about like OTR.

 

[TheCowburner]

Hopefully the surprise will be dark, gritty and mature
