[Saroyan]

looks like Just Cause 2 meets Borderlands.

 

[strafer]

Motorstorm RPG?

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Looks like the most boring and generic setting

 

[Giran]

"[...] potentially attracting the same kind of crowd that flocks to gaming’s biggest franchise, Call Of Duty."

Well I suppose now they'll take a more direct approach than with Dragon Age 2.

 

[inky]

No, not really.

Come on, are you serious? For a new IP from a big developer it is a screenshot that doesn't scream either new, different or innovative, or aligns with the studios previous body of work. It is -conceptually- an uninteresting image at best that doesn't say anything. We don't know jack about the game, but there's no promise here.

 

[ultron87]

Which of those cars do I get to bone?

 

[krameriffic]

There was once a time when a new Bioware IP would tickle me like no other. And then they made Jade Empire. And Dragon Age. And Mass Effect 2. And Dragon Age 2.

Now, I bow only to our lord and saviour, CDPR.

Hey, Dragon Age Origins was a good game. Dragon Age 2 was generic rushed out shit, but I wouldn't group the two together.

 

[Lime]

Which Bioware studio is making this? Wasn't it a new one?

 

[volturnus]

Oh, Bioware....What have you become?

This.

 

[crowphoenix]

Which of those cars do I get to bone?

Depends on how much money you spend on upgrading them.

 

[Kinyou]

It's obviously Dragon Age 3

 

[Atilac]

I came in expecting to see tits, this is way worse.

 

[Atilac]

It's obviously Dragon Age 3

Needs more tits, and twilight levels of romance.

 

[dr_rus]

Is it safe to assume that this is not RPG?

 

[D2M15]

Whoa, tough crowd. I've loathed the entirety of BioWare's output and I'd still be up for a realtime Faselei! (and/or cheesier Strike Commander) with dune buggies, as I'm foolishly reading this as.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Looks like a cartoony RAGE.

Oh, so it looks like borderlands.

 

[Wazzim]

Looks like the most boring and generic setting

This. It could be fun but that setting has been used far too much this gen.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

So that's where CJ went.

 

[Mechanized]

If this is yet another post-apocalyptic shooter... pass.

 

[UrbanRats]

Am i the only one seeing a car smashing another in the back? I think we might have the next step in Bioware romance agenda.

 

[2 Slice Toaster]

Whoa, tough crowd. I've loathed the entirety of BioWare's output and I'd still be up for a realtime Faselei! (and/or cheesier Strike Commander) with dune buggies, as I'm foolishly reading this as.

Well, there's really not much to go on from the screenshot so all you are going to get until the reveal of more is a snarkfest. I mean, you could try and spin something positive from it if you want, but the safer position is just to go negative and be surprised.

 

[ArjanN]

Well, imagine this is an image from a game coming from Naughty Dog or Ubisoft or id. Kinda underwhelming, no? Even if you don't know the details.]

Come on, are you serious? For a new IP from a big developer it is a screenshot that doesn't scream either new, different or innovative, or aligns with the studios previous body of work. It is -conceptually- an uninteresting image at best that doesn't say anything. We don't know jack about the game, but there's no promise here.

"doesn't scream either new, different or innovative" is exactly what could have been said about the latest Naughty Dog or Ubisoft or id games.

And not aligning with the studios previous work is not a negative in itself.

Something like "no promise here" is a pretty ridiculous statement to make considering we've only seen one screenshot and don't even know what genre game it is.

 

[Totobeni]

Interesting my guess from this CG(?) shoot is that it's a post apocalyptic WRPG/Shooter, seeing how EA work thesedays on trying to beat the big names and dominating the market I think they are going for a Fallout killer here.

 

[FateBreaker]

Oh god pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease dont make a generic shooter boarderlands/rage type of game! PLease!! Me want some real Dragon Age sequel ...

This is a separate team. You'll get DA3. And ME3. And SW:TOR. This is their fourth game simultaneously being developed.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Boderlands?

Yep, I thought BL first thought also, along with Rage.

BorderRageLands EffectStorm ... Best.Game.Ever.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

um... that is a lot of shrapnel.

I honestly don't know what else to say.

 

[dwebo]

A bit off-topic, but speaking of Bioware, was that ME3 leaked demo / spoilers thread nuked from orbit? I had it open in another tab, went to refresh it and now it says "Invalid Thread specified".

 

[babyghost853]

Looks more like SOTC meets motorstorm to me. Am I the only one that sees a face in the smoke?

 

[Duebrithil]

Mmm, maybe something along the lines of Auto Assault?

 

[Kinyou]

This is a separate team. You'll get DA3. And ME3. And SW:TOR. This is their fourth game simultaneously being developed.

Bioware: Making sure to keep quality over quantity

 

[bengraven]

I was nearly sold from the first half of the picture.

 

[Jarmel]

This seems an appropriate place to ask. What happened to the ME3 thread?

It certainly seems that it was put out of its misery.

Epic Mickey 2 to take place in desert wasteland?

 

[Ashodin]

Just the new Bioware being stupid, making IPs that betray their legacy and games destroying every facet of who they were. Sigh.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I'm not really surprised with that to be honest. Their recent games showed that they were desperately trying to win the COD crowd. At least its not a new military FPS. The old Bioware that was passionate about RPGs has been gone for a while now. It's time to let it go guys.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Motorstorm?

I was expecting something sci-fi or fantasy.

 

[Atilac]

What happened to the ME3 spoiler thread?

 

[inky]

"doesn't scream either new, different or innovative" is exactly what could have been said about the latest Naughty Dog or Ubisoft or id games.

I don't know now if you are actually responding to my opinion or just saying whatever to go against it. So if that could've been said about a new IP from those well known devs, you agree that this screen is uninteresting in itself, right? Well, that is what people are saying (me included) and I'm pointing that out to you.

And not aligning with the studios previous work is not a negative in itself.

No, but then you'd expect there to be a reason for that. What is Bioware known for in this point in time, what does this image tell you about a future game by them? This is what people are responding to, and right now the image is telling theM "hey this looks like a bunch of other games you probably didn't like much."

Something like "no promise here" is a pretty ridiculous statement to make considering we've only seen one screenshot and don't even know what genre game it is.

How is it ridiculous? I raised this precise point before:

People are judging the screenshot. It's a first impressions based on gut and no info, so reactions are speculative and -like previews are not indicative of a final product- a first reaction is not indicative of overall or final reception of the same.

So based on those speculations is where the "no promise" lies. The promise of looking forward to what this might be, not what the game will be on release date. No one can se that far ahead. There is a difference which I was clear to point out, but you are arguing like people are going about how the game will suck. No, they are saying the screen looks generic and boring and I agree with them. It might end up being their first 10 million seller.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Quick! Remove that image before Bioware sends another C&D!

 

[Htown]

Quick! Remove that image before Bioware sends another C&D!

man.

FUCK Bioware. Seriously.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Not feeling it at all.

 

[Nirolak]

Clearly EA's doing another Syndicate style reboot.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Quick! Remove that image before Bioware sends another C&D!

Aw...

I was going to post that.

 

[Shard]

I thought Dragon Age 2 was already released.

 

[Keyser Soze]

What happened to the ME3 spoiler thread?

Bioware did not want it, soo it is gone. Bioware want this thread, so it stays

 

[DieH@rd]

Bioware did not want it, soo it is gone. Bioware want this thread, so it stays

:-/

 

[webrunner]

Most of this thread:

"It looks like [RAGE/FALLOUT/BORDERLANDS/MAD MAX]"

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

ugh

Mako Kart

no thanks

(unless it turns out awesome, in which case: yes please!)
