Got you
Isn't the trailer debuting anytime now?
How many hours till it goes up?
-
fu
-
You got me. :(
-
I just saw some of it on GTTV.
doesn't look like it will have any gameplay in that trailer.
-
Don't get too hyped up for the trailer. It is like 10 seconds long and boring.

Don't get too hyped up [...]. It is [...] boring.
Sounds like a BioWare game
-
What a terrible trailer. This game has been in development forever and they don't even show off anything resembling gameplay. The setting is so generic that it could have come out of any developer, too. SMH, Bioware.
It's Bio-Fucking-Ware. It's on PC. It simply cannot fail.
You keep believing that. What with the title Origins, it sounds like the game is episodic now. What with this being EA, it will be lowest common denominatored for consoles, I bet.
-
Glass is either half-full or half-empty, duh.
I see an amazing looking PC RPG in the making, you see another Jade Empire White Man.
Look at it this way: the game was debuted in 2004, and we have NEVER SEEN GAMEPLAY. That is even worse than FFXIII.
-
Looks like it's borrowing some style from the LotR movies (in a good way, I'll add). Then again, all western fantasy games seem to be borrowing from those movies these days.
-
Major disappointment.
If the people creating this thought that was something to get it's core audience hyped for the game, you have to wonder about their decision-making abilities for other aspects of the game.
So far Dragon Age is 0 for 2 out of the gate.
-
I was reading the Bioware forums and the Marketing/PR director? (I think it was he/she) was stating how the 9th "Teaser Page" was actually a pretty cool thing they did for the fans and stating that they should be hyped over just that. Now this shit. I wonder how they'll explain away and murky looking video that had awful dialogue and no gameplay whatsoever.
-
That was an awful trailer. I wish I wouldn't have stayed up for it.
-
Dragon Age: Helms Deep
-
I hope at least Tom Bombadil is in the game, he's awesome.
-
GAF is making it sound like the game is George RR Martin inspired/involved/etc dunno. wtf is that true?
-
Terrible trailer. BG2 fegs am cry.
-
Should've just integrated the Dragon Age team with the Mass Effect team so we could've got ME2 this year.

more like MEH2
AMIRITE?
-
Looks good
-
all the rich world detail that bioware has been working on for years is in the journal, haters!!
/mass effect nutto
-
Mass Effect is one of the greatest videogames of all time.
edit: Don't bother replying to this post because it's not debatable.
-

Yup. This game looks like total ripped off LOTR shit.
I'm just shocked they went from the terrible Forgotten Realms setting and then created their OWN LOTR rip off, which is all Forgotten Realms was in the first place.
Oh well.
-
What a strong negative reaction...It looked nice to me.
-
Looks like shit but I think all of their stuff does only to recant on release.
:bow Mass Effect :bow2
:bow KOTOR :bow2
Bunch of jaded fucks.
:lol Stop being such a fangirl.
-
Bunch of jaded fucks.
If the trailer ended with a "Lord of the Rings: Whatever" title, would anyone have noticed?
I absolutely despise the use of 'generic' and 'meh', but damn if this game doesn't fit the bill. How about just a little sense of originality? Of course I'm still there on day one since it's Bioware.
-
looks awesome to me, you whinos
-
that looked like crap
I also thought the origins logo was a photoshop making fun of how many games have the "origins" subtitle these days, but apparently it was not a joke
ugggh so bad
-
Bunch of jaded fucks.
Better to question this game than to slob all over it's knob. Once again, this has been in development for longer than FFXIII, and we've seen NO GAMEPLAY.
-
yes, everything you saw was in-engine.
Well, at least that is something to be happy about.
Also, that geoff dude said that a second trailer will be released tomorrow. In it, you will get a better feel for the "scope of combat" in the game. Which means we will probably see a big sprawling fight. I wonder how that works into the mechanics of the game? Will it be like an RTS where you build an army (through adventuring with a small team, ala NWN2) and then do a battle? Or will it be like the Total War series where you control groups of fighters? shrug.

The quote for the sunday trailer was
It’s in the same spirit as this one but wait until you see the scale of the combat.
Which means it may or may not be more cutscenes. I'm not getting my hopes up again.
-
snooooore
-
Dragon Age: Helms Deep
:lol
-
I hope this is good. I'm so looking forward to a fun, non MMO RPG from somewhere.
-
What's up with the characters' skin texture? Sorry I'd take even the most bland and generic anime art over this any day of the week. I don't like WRPGs and this game's probably not gonna change my mind... only game that could probably do that at this point would be getting Richard Garriott back to make a single player Ultima X.
-
2nd trailer is up: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36127.html
-
Now with 17% more cutscene footage!
-
Wow, that was terrible. I had to watch the first forgettable trailer again just to confirm that this was indeed new. Looks like Osama Bin Laden set up the BioBomba. So, is this EA's fault or what? It would be kinda poetic if 2 EA cockhead things happened in one week.
In other words: no gameplay people, don't bother watching.
-
BioWare keeps saying it won't come to consoles, I keep hoping EA says "uh, yes it will."
-
Who gives a shit? It looks atrocious. Port it to the DS for all I care.

I don't get the fuss over the teaser drawing similarities to LOTR, but whatever. It's an entire genre inspired in some way by LOTR. It is what it is. Dragon Age is a fantasy game from BioWare, I'm not sure what people were expecting if not this. And we still don't even know what this is, but it's interesting enough so far.

Once again, I wouldn't be bitching if this game hadn't been in development since 2004, or earlier.

Maybe that's where we're just going to have to differ. I'm going to assume the gameplay is fun, because I've not had reason to doubt BioWare's abilities from what I've played. I should say that I don't particularly follow games all that much nowadays, so pre-release marketing from publishers and gameplay dissection from whomever is largely lost on me. I don't pay attention. But I watched the trailer, I like BioWare, so I'm interested.
*If it comes to consoles.

We will have to disagree, because BioWare's console outings are one of the big reasons I'm willing to let myself have little faith in this. I am not sure if they are capable of making a "spiritual successor" to Baldur's Gate 2 anymore.
Guys it's BioWare. Name one shitty BioWare game except Jade Empire.
They haven't made any bad games, but they've stopped making great ones. And Jade Empire isn't that bad.

I really don't think it will come to Xbox 1, dude.

KOTOR
Says the guy who never made it past the lower city of Taris. Heck, I'm not even sure you made it that far!

BioWare may have even peaked before they moved to consoles. Maybe they moved to consoles since they knew the filthy console fans wouldn't know an excellent game if it slapped them across their fat faces.
-
Man I was really hoping this would come to consoles, but I just don't care much now. I couldn't even finish the 3rd LotR film b/c I was so bored with all the wizards and elves and stuff. Maybe they'll show gameplay at E3 and get everyone exited again.
-
Mass Effect was a masterpiece. Please tell me what was wrong with that game besides the technical issues. It was fucking incredible... such a good narrative, solid gunplay with a cover mechanic, great dialogue system, amazing visuals, and such an awesome atmosphere. It really felt like you were taking part in an epic space odyssey.
bobo the sidequests were all the same!!!11
then don't fucking play the sidequests. I only did like two of them and still clocked almost 25 hours.
There are no worthy complaints about this game. Demi, you can fuck right off.
-
I don't hate Mass Effect. I merely think it is good. It's far too short, and the squad mate AI is absolutely useless.
-
How is 20-25 hours for the main quest too short? Come on..
And you have to remember that the first game in a series more often than not has the least amount of content simply because they have to work on the engine. Now that UE3 is fully optimized for ME, Bioware can focus more on content and have a longer game. This happens all the time.
The squad AI could use improvement but it's not a big issue at all. And if you use Biotic squad members, they use their abilities all the time. You see them lifting people up in the air and throwing them across the room very often.
-
solid gunplay with a cover mechanic
If ME is your example of solid gunplay with a cover mechanic (which half the time doesnt even work), maybe you should give Rainbow Six a try
You might find a good game
-
mass effect biggest fault is the total lack of varieties.
almost all areas in the main quest are buildings and shit and they are all small.
and the planets are all empty and barren with one building which is the same as any other planet.
-
The gunplay was fine. I admittedly rarely used the cover system because it really wasn't that necessary, but the actual gunplay was fine. I had a Vanguard... she specialized in shotties, pistols and of course had several Biotic abilities. She was a beast and I had zero issues with taking down enemies with the shotgun and pistol.

Maybe they should have given it some more time to actually get some content in then? Seriously now, that's the worst excuse for a lack of content that I've ever come across.
-
It's too short because my final save time in KOTOR was upwards to 60 hours - did I mention that game was more varied then ME as well? Shocking, coming from an Xbox game. Xbox. One.

No, it's not. Proprietary engines can take as long as 18 to 24 months to create. A normal dev time for a AAA title is 2 to 3 years, so the first game in a series almost always has the shortest length. In ME's case, they were able to license out UE3 but they still had to do a ton of optimizations and asset creation. Now that much of that stuff is out of the way, I fully expect ME2 to be bigger and better.

That's still a shitty excuse. A really, really shitty one. If the alloted time isn't enough for development of tech and content, then more time or resources needs to be alloted. And it's not like content creation stands still while the technological base is crafted, so if anything it'd then appear to be a managerial shortcoming. Regardless, actually falling in line and making such an excuse for the company, that's just rot.
-
It's not a shitty excuse.
Take a look at a game like Uncharted. ND's proprietary ICE engine no doubt took over a year just to develop. That's a big chunk out of the dev time used on engine creation and optimization that won't be required for the sequel. Your suggestion of just allotting another year or two to the dev time simply isn't reasonable, financially.

That's not my problem. Games shipping with precious little content, that is my problem, as a consumer. As is the problem with other consumers making excuses for the developer.

oh hey
the witcher has an update with new stand alone quests which act as prologue to the main game
that's neat.

I actually love the empty feel of the planets, this is how I imagine them to look like in the first 50-100 years of space colonization. Some mines, some labs and a fucking vast of nothing in between.
The only thing that bothers me is how they use the SAME FUCKING ROOM AND DUNGEON design for dungeons on different planets. I mean Jesus, how hard is it to make a map in UE3? Takes one day.
This is unfair of me, but I really wish that Mass Effect took some sort of cue from Star Control 2 and Star Flight. Flying around the planets reminded me of that. Why has no one tried to update those games for modern computers?

Gameplay screen. It's got the BG2/NWN1 interface vibe down pretty well. Still am very much in the "sort of want" category ever since I got the epic burn from Bioware when I got Mass Defect PC.

The comments on that video rule:
It is well known that fireballs only go to 1500 degrees, while the temperature to melt adamantine-reinforced concrete is above 3000 degrees. Then why are there adamantine pools on the ground? Mithril charges placed by the elven demolition teams commissioned by His Majesty.
No blood for mithril!
Fere£££den's hunger for Remarian mithril is the cause of many deaths, His Majesty must stop this travesty.
7/13 Never Forget!
Did you know that 1400 elves didn't show up for tower that day? It's quite clear, really, you just have to open your eyes, sheeple. The elves control the Town Criers, so of course the sheeple will believe whatever they're told.
Whatever, everyone knows that fireballs travel using scram physics and so there would be a forwards low pressure atomspheric hole which would pull the blocks of the arch towards it with force. This is what happens, the bricks clearly fly towards the fireball as it approaches. The flash is also easily explained as the result of the arch's very delicate magical structure being damaged which causes energy to be rapidly released.
You kids need to stop doing the drugs and stay in school.

only PC gamers will know the full story
when Dragon Age 2 comes out, console people will be scratching their heads unable to tie together the diffuse storyline elements

bah, nothing about that screenshot looks console-ified. The franchise may well ultimately feature games for both PCs and consoles but i'm hoping that the PC series will remain distinct.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
There's room for you in my grimy fuck dumpster, too, Boris. You can hop in with me and drohne now, or you can wait until Bioware is making waggle games. The choice is yours.
-
Dragon Age being another bastardized console game makes me so glad that I still haven't played Throne of Bhaal. It's the last great game from Bioware.
-
Boris, I yearn for your European skin. I want you to experience my flesh before I experience yours. Let's plan it like that in our own little Dragon Age.
