I keep hearing people say RPG elements. What indication do we have that there will be any RPG elements beyond the fact that historically Bioware has done a few RPGs in the past?

I fully believe this will be an action game.

because fans know and bioware knows that the more their developers push the game beyond rpg and towards action elements the worse their game becomes. (looks at their previous 2 releases)

 

[revolverjgw]

OK. That's an image of something, alright.

 

[Zenith]

Now I'm disappointed.

The picture does not say much, but the style of the character and the involvement of cars really does not appeal to me.

However, I hope the character in the picture is the main character, so that we get more non-white protagonists in video games.

 

[subversus]

I hope it's a linear TPS.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

crashing game?

 

[Emitan]

crashing game?

Burnout: The RPG.

 

[bigboss370]

WAT?

Edit: They also said RISING teaser image today right? RIGHT?

is this true!? O_O

 

[Rolf NB]

I don't see any sex. Probably a fake.

 

[Kaizer]

BioWare presents The Brink Effect: Raging Borderlands

 

[AndyD]

A mix between brink and rage??

And borderlands.

 

[subversus]

I don't see any sex. Probably a fake.

they're behind the smoke

 

[ArjanN]

Not sure why people are saying Borderlands. Looks more like Uncharted to me.

 

[mocoworm]

I love Bioware. Anything they do is amazing.

 

[Solo]

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.

 

[subversus]

I love Bioware. Anything they do is amazing.

I love them too. Let's hug.

 

[Anteater]

I was expecting a shooter, but I see vehicles, that's more than what I was expecting, I'm very excite.

 

[ElyrionX]

I want the Bioware that made Baldur's Gate 2 back.

 

[Kyoufu]

Betting on a mediocre shooter that will probably win a GAF GOTY award.

 

[krameriffic]

So I guess they decided Rage wasn't quite mediocre enough so now they're going to take a stab at crapifying it even more. Color me jaded, but I've pretty much lost all faith in Bioware.

 

[Solo]

I want the Bioware that made Baldur's Gate 2 back.

That's like saying you want the 1980's back. It's nice to want things, but certain things are never coming back.

 

[Complistic]

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.

All hail our polish overlords.

 

[Gueras]

Looks boring and generic, I'm tired about games like borderlands, brink and rage...

 

[Cmagus]

So post apocalyptic racing rpgs are the new sci-fi?

 

[Chairman Yang]

I understand what the Bioware marketing people are thinking here. They want to release a tantalizing, mysterious, teasing image that gives away little and provokes a lot of speculation and discussion.

It's just that the image is boring and doesn't feel fresh or original. Combined with Bioware's record in the last few years, I'm not too inspired.

 

[Kyoufu]

I want the Bioware that made Baldur's Gate 2 back.

I want the Bioware that made Mass Effect 1 and Dragon Age 1 back.

This is their new IP, not Mass Effect 3

Hehe.

 

[M.D]

Betting on a mediocre shooter that will probably win a GAF GOTY award.

This is their new IP, not Mass Effect 3

 

[spats]

This is their new IP, not Mass Effect 3

I'm not going to judge anything based on one image, but honestly after platinuming Borderlands and playing lots of Fallout 3 + New Vegas I feel like I'm pretty much done with post-apocalyptic, ruined environments. The reason why I haven't played Rage despite being a big fan of id.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

the art style reminds me of Team Fortress.

Team Rageland

 

[Midou]

Funny how I seem to like Bioware less and less as they go more shooter and actiony with each title. Dragon Age: Origins will be their last epic RPG title.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

That's like saying you want the 1980's back. It's nice to want things, but certain things are never coming back.

Like I said in the first page. Auto Duel. 80s coming back
So many people probably have never heard of it or forgot about it, it might as well be a new IP.

 

[Doodis]

Oh boy. Another military-shooter-looking-thing. Just what video games needed.

 

[Elginer]

This looks NOTHING like an RPG but considering where BioWare is going with the last few games, I guess that's par for the course huh. Damn you BioWare, Damn you to hell!

 

[Femmeworth]

I wonder if the guy in free fall is a romance option.

Except you can't romance manuals if you are playing male.

DLC only.

 

[REV 09]

Looks generic

: (...this. We already have enough games with this "setting". maybe it will be different some how, but the games that everyone is mentioning don't need another to be added to the list.

 

[ReaperXL7]

Damn, was hoping for an RPG, but I guess I should not have been considering the developer. Looks like an action game inspired by Borderlands/Rage as has been stated already.

 

[ironcreed]

I wonder if the guy in free fall is a romance option.

DLC only.

LOL

 

[Kyoufu]

EA killed Bioware.

RIP

 

[Sn4ke_911]

is this true!? O_O

Three promised reveals include a look at a brand new franchise from BioWare, the developer behind Mass Effect and Dragon Age. We'll also get a look at the next Alan Wake title and a full reveal of Metal Gear Solid: Rising. We'll have the first teaser images of these titles this Monday at Gameinformer.com (also featured in the December issue), so check back then.

[Ashodin]

thats it guys im out

 

[ArjanN]

I want the Bioware that made Mass Effect 1 and Dragon Age 1 back.

I thought Mass Effect 2 was better than 1. Sure it's a bit more streamlined than the first game, but way more polished as a result, and those half-assed RPG mechanics weren't a huge loss.

I'm not going to judge anything based on one image, but honestly after platinuming Borderlands and playing lots of Fallout 3 + New Vegas I feel like I'm pretty much done with post-apocalyptic, ruined environments. The reason why I haven't played Rage despite being a big fan of id.

Not sure why people see a post-apocalyptic wasteland, could easily just be a desert.

 

[Elginer]

EA killed Bioware.

RIP

BioWare killed BioWare. They've been having dudebro ambitions for a long time. The circle is now complete.

 

[inky]

This looks NOTHING like an RPG but considering where BioWare is going with the last few games, I guess that's par for the course huh. Damn you BioWare, Damn you to hell!

Well, they are a big studio now, so they probably want to diversify their portfolio to make it seem they can do all kinds of games, not only RPGs. Although they are already doing that with their existing IPs. maybe they'll throw in some RPGness to show how those mechanics are more like salad dressing instead o main course for them now?

 

[M.D]

thats it guys im out

Don't forget to close the door

 

[JumpingTheGun]

The picture is actually just a portrait thats hanging on the wall inside a house your character ventures into.

....i hope.

 

[Solo]

EA killed Bioware.

RIP

Bioware killed Bioware. EA just pissed on the ashes.

 

[maniac-kun]

Looks like i dont care about that game.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Bioware is several times larger than they were even 2 years ago. I forget their net worth, but it's 700 million or some such I believe.

 

[Extra Sauce]

A new shooter will have to do something extraordinarily original to get me excited at this point.
