Holy shit, this looks genuinely interesting and original.

Can't wait to see how it manifests as a mediocre third person shooter.

I laughed then cried.

BioWare Austin's project? Edmonton is doing Dragon Age and Montreal is doing Mass Effect.

 

[LX_Theo]

Also got this e-mail. Not sure what to make if it quite yet

 

[Freeman]

The fade is the worst part in Dragon Age and the dream sequence in ME3 sucked. I hope its not what I'm imagining.

 

[Shady859]

I got it as well and was sad when I found just a video link inside that didn't play on my phone. I thought it was a beta code of some sort.

Nah in reality it's probably nothing like their other games. I doubt many of the same people worked on it either. I mean RPG elements are a given since signs point to F2P and filling bars is the best way to get people to cough up cash this side of ransoming their children.

 

[dr_rus]

iOS game? iOS game.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

iOS game? iOS game.

Social mobile f2p moba with filmic elements.

 

[DanSaxon]

I got this as well haven't looked at the links yet because I'm on my phone.

 

[Patryn]

Free 2 play? Online? PvP? From EA/Bioware?
Aaaaand it's gone. Any interest I could have in this, I mean.

My hype was going through the roof until I saw those terms. Now I'm like whatever.

I'd love to see something like a single-player Secret World. Some of the imagery and those course descriptions sounded really fascinating.

But if it's a F2P MMO I think a lot of people will just wonder why they shouldn't play Secret World instead.

 

[Apdiddy]

Part of me was hoping that it was BioWare's take on Resident Evil 4 gameplay with a Silent Hill setting.

Then I read this thread.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Got the email. Realized it was a ARG or something. Stopped caring. The stuff I'm reading here isn't helping to sway my mind either.

 

[Icomp]

A modern day cinematic third person MOBA with elements of an FPS.

With toppings of a BioWare Cheese-Fest of a story.

Press all the buttons and everything happens.

 

[Enduin]

Apparently Failbetter Games, who did the Kickstarter Sunless Sea, have been working with BioWare for sometime. Dunno if this has anything to do with it though.

I would think less along the lines of F2P MMO and more along the lines of F2P game.

I don't get the impression they're making things that are like what people normally think of as an MMO outside of SWTOR.

I suspect that's probably a companion product, perhaps to this.

Now I'm thinking about that Eurogamer TOR vid and cackling.

Yes, I suppose we'll see.

But EA and F2P are two terms that I have found do not go well with one another.

Hahaha, damn.

 

[OneUh8]

Not sure wtf this is. Is it possible it is nothing to do with a game?

 

[RicoTheMad]

I'm with the skeptical people. Nice teaser but I bet it's some uninspired generic junk. Same thing happened to me with The Order 1866, teaser trailer was really interesting until I found it was a generic "cinematic" cover shooter clone game :-/

[off duty ninja]

Oh God, no more announcements for games that are still 2, 2 and a half years from release please!

You've been CHOSEN...to sit and wait for countless months to maybe play this potential game.

Announcement of announcement at Gamescom?

Announcement of announcement at Gamescom?

Polygon seems to have some idea what it is given they say it's going to be a Gamescom debut: http://www.polygon.com/2014/7/25/5936173/bioware-teaser-trailer-shadow-realms

 

[shinobi602]

Hello Project Avalon.

That's what it says right in the video description though, so doesn't have to mean that Polygon knows more.

 

[Ridesh]

Casey Hudson new IP?

You too? I thought I was special. No Bioware email in my stuff.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I got this email too, at first I thought it was gonna be swtor related but it's honestly looking like a new IP.

Could be cool.

 

[fenners]

Hello Project Avalon.

Heh.

 

[Antialias]

Hello Project Avalon.

The EA Police will be at your desk in three minutes, do not leave.

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

Hello Project Avalon.

Spill the beans!

 

[Lakitu]

Hello Project Avalon.

Is it F2P?

 

[adj_noun]

Wait, so is this the fabled new IP?

Does it still have trees? I remember the trees from E3.

TELL ME IT STILL HAS TREES.

 

[Cross-Section]

Saw the email, thought for a sec that I'd gotten into the DA Keep beta but NOPE, just some viral shit. Still curious of what direction they're going with this, though.

 

[LumpOfCole]

I bet it's a western Persona

 

[daveo42]

Decided to check my email and it seems like I was chosen while I was still in a deep sleep. They know guys...they know...

Interesting video indeed and I hope something good comes out

It's not Casey's game.

Got it, not the deal from TreE3.

Hmm.

 

[anexanhume]

Austintageous.

 

[sammich]

Ok im interested. That looked much more interesting and more importantly VAGUE than 99% of movie trailers.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Holy shit, this looks genuinely interesting and original.

Based on the teaser and developer it will be an Action-RPG in a contemporary "urban fantasy" setting. The supernatural elements are pretty obviously going to be related to dreams. The protagonist will get involved in events beyond their control, have a mentor-type figure die in front of them, and then be inducted into an elite order of people who are charged with protecting the world / existence / humanity / whatever, called the Jedi the Spirit Monks the Spectres the Grey Wardens the Sandmen. You will get a variety of mage force biotic dream powers in combination with more conventional weapons to do battle with your foes. You will gather a party of characters, many of whom will try to fuck you if you so much as glace at them or say hello when you see them.

Ouch. Being chosen by Bioware is like receiving the kiss of death.

 

[kingschiebi]

You've been chosen....


TO COME BACK TO THE OLD REPUBLIC

my first thoughts upon seeing the email subject
then I watched the video and thought it was

TO COME BACK TO THE SECRET WORLD (under new management)

 

[Nirolak]

That's what it says right in the video description though, so doesn't have to mean that Polygon knows more.

Ah I missed that. My bad.

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

So that leaves Bioware Austin right?

We had a thread about
BioWare Austin on several (non-SWTOR) unannounced projects, looking for Bayo/DMC exp


So i bet it's one of their projects...

 

[shinobi602]

So that leaves Bioware Austin right?

Indeed...

It's fairly far along in development, internal alpha/beta (not sure which) going on currently.
