Info on DRAGON AGE coming July 9th

[mindx2]

A little teaser date on the official website:

http://dragonage.bioware.com/

Will all our questions be answered?!!!!!!

 

[Volourn]

Um.. No. Of course, not. btw, You couldn't wait to the 9th to spam this. there's nothing to really disucss at this time. Except how lame this trhead will (is) gonna be.

 

[mindx2]

Not exactly sure why you consider this spam, but.... you are pleasant as ever Volourn.

I'm actually looking forward to the discussion about this game here. Between the vulgarity and juvenile posts actual cRPG discussion does take place which I enjoy reading. Comments on this game will certainly be interesting.

They're actually providing a teaser... for a teaser??

If this is an attempt at emulating the hype-making strategies of Blizzard, then they fail, miserably.

A little teaser date on the official website:

Will all our questions be answered?!!!!!!

Allow me to quote:

In before the announcement of ARPGness

In before short teaser without actual gameplay elements

In before next-gen.

In before Dgaider.

In before any actual opinions.

I before this thread will start making sense.

Piracy is wrong because nothing is physically removed from an inventory.

:decline of the codex:

oh shi- more at July 9, 2008
that just has to mean it's not vapourware.

In before multiplatform release.

In before announcing the 360 as the main development platform.

In before

.

Piracy is wrong because nothing is physically removed from an inventory.

dragon age is wrong because there is no enslaving nations with necromancy

In before epic fail

dragon age is wrong because there is no enslaving nations with necromancy

I would really be looking forward to it if they kept that in.

i just realised whats going to happen on the 9th - they are going to reveal a piece of the background picture. And they are going to keep on revealing it on a weekly basis. On a Wednesday. Going to call it DA-wednesday.

And their forums will overflow with hype and fanboyism.

"OMFGBBQ11!11!1 IT'S AMAZING1!!"
"I CANT WAIT!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG"
"BIOWARE >>>> BETHESDA"

In before retardo.

Pretty much every company does that these days. Countdowns, pictures that change or slowly become clearer, stuff like that. It's pretty much standard pre-hype hype now.

Very yawn.

Rockstar did the same thing for GTA4, it worked pretty well for them.


I doubt we'll learn anything from the teaser, it'll probably just be a few pre-rendered clips with no actual gameplay.

 

[Volourn]

"Comments on this game will certainly be interesting."

I agree; but nothing new about the game is ready to be disucssed. The thread would ahve been fine on the 9th. Not that it or my opinion matters but *shrug*... Seriosuly, what can we really discuss productively in this thread? Nothing. It's just BIO vs anti BIO, and all the usual jazz found on the Codex. Entertaining; but unproductive.

Sad, but true.

Who's the guy always steering the topic this way again? Just so when the Dragon Age discussion does come out, I'll be aware when the topic starts to go downhill.

Well Im glad this was posted as I hadn't heard of this.

Im going to try and not get excited about this game though as I have been dissapointed with virtually every major studio release in the last 6 or 7 years.....must not fall for the hype.....

I just hope it is an "RPG" and not an action game with a few stats thrown in, but what am I saying, of course its gonna be in the Action RPG style. I think im just getting old.

 

[Volourn]

it's not turn based. It doesn't even half the '6 second rules' of BIO's D&D games. If that's what you hope for, you got the wrong game.

 

[DemonKing]

...as long as the ability to enslave nations with necromancy is back in, I'll be happy. :D

 

[Saxon1974]

it's not turn based. It doesn't even half the '6 second rules' of BIO's D&D games. If that's what you hope for, you got the wrong game.

Not expecting turn based, I don't think we will ever see TB from a major studio again. I just hope its more of an RPG then an action game.

 

[MetalCraze]

Somebody still believes that Bio will release an RPG someday?
Besides even if DA will get released I doubt that it will be anything but traditional "No I won't take your money - I'm so good/Yes give me your money! - oh I'm so evil"

That's one thing I absolutely hate about Bioware games. Their definition of an evil character is that of a schoolyard bully, while their definition of a good character reminds me of that pussy character Lamont from the 70's sitcom Sanford and Son.

 

[Unradscorpion]

Well, I expect melee Mass Effect.
Mass Effect without guns if will.

 

[Castanova]

Nah, it won't be an exercise in being slick like ME. It'll be more like NWN2 if anything. I'm expecting some level of awkwardness with the interface.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was accurate.


For some reason, that makes me sad.

Cool.. do we get to ride dragons?
