Pavlos Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Source BioWare's Dragon Age, an RPG which has been in development since the dawn of time, has just received a website facelift. There's nothing much there but you can take a look for yourself. You know, I've seen video game and film teasers before but a teaser for a site is a new one. Let the speculation begin!
stoffe Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 BioWare's Dragon Age, an RPG which has been in development since the dawn of time, has just received a website facelift. There's nothing much there but you can take a look for yourself. You know, I've seen video game and film teasers before but a teaser for a site is a new one. It's been so long since they announced making that game... if I remember correctly (which I probably don't, since it's been so long) both Jade Empire and Mass Effect were first announced after Dragon Age was. I had nearly subconsciously filed it as vaporware, sort of like Bioware's equivalent of Duke Nukem Forever. Good to see a sign that something still is happening with that game, even if it's a very minor sign so far.
Miltiades Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 We'll see what it brings within a few days. I'm still hopeful that this game will be of the same quality as BioWare's other games. Also, since I don't have much RPG's to look out for these days, Dragon Age ranks very high on my list.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 since I don't have much RPG's to look out for these days, Dragon Age ranks very high on my list. I want to put some emphasis at PC RPGs there. Because, yeah, not much ahead for our keyboard+mouse combo.
Ztalker Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Monkeyspanking. I've just started playing Mass Effect and now they tease me with this? Diablo 3 is coming, Guild Wars 2 is coming, I'm on the brink of playing WoW again...where can a man find the time to play all these RPG's?
Lantzen Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I've been waiting for this game forever... Me too. And the little info they released sounds wonderful Depending on your race, you can choose diffrent social classes, like if you were just a normal worker or maybe a lord or something like that. And that will change your whole start experince.
Antinate Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 I'm on the brink of playing WoW again Never. Wait for Warhammer instead.
Arátoeldar Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 It's been so long since they announced making that game... if I remember correctly (which I probably don't, since it's been so long) both Jade Empire and Mass Effect were first announced after Dragon Age was. You are correct young lady. I had nearly subconsciously filed it as vaporware, sort of like Bioware's equivalent of Duke Nukem Forever. Good to see a sign that something still is happening with that game, even if it's a very minor sign so far. I never thought it might be vaporware. However even with reading the Bioware forums I am still getting impatient for new information.
Miltiades Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 For those who don't know yet: the website is now up again and as of now Dragon Age gets a subtitle, namely "Origins. A trailer will debut on Spike TV Friday night.
Pavlos Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 Source BioWare's first Dragon Age trailer has been released on Gametrailers, featuring some dude called "Your Majesty" who, judging by the accent, seems to have been educated at Snooty College, Oxford. At around 30 seconds in length, the trailer uses the game's engine but aside from telling us that the graphics look nice (and that "Your Majesty" plays so much WoW that he's chosen his shoulder guards based on how big they are) it does little else. We still have no clues as to how gameplay will work... what's the point in a trailer that doesn't show you any gameplay?
Pavlos Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 Hyping? I am not hyped by anything other than gameplay and plot information; call me a traditionalist . Edit: If I was then I'd think Fallout 3 was the best thing since... bananas because of this.
Char Ell Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I have to say I too was rather disappointed in this first Dragon Age: Origins trailer. The 30-40 seconds of game-related footage that I saw didn't really differentiate the game from any of its peers.
SilentScope001 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Awesome logo. ...Oh wait? The trailer? Where's the dragons? That's the whole point of Dragon Age! You can't have Dragon Age without dragons! That's just insane.
Aash Li Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Im so under-enthused about this game that I had completely forgotten about it, and had written it off as vaporware long ago. Until last night when a friend linked the trailer to me... Im still not impressed. Also, wheres the dragons? Those monsters in the video dont even come close to being dragons!
Serpentine Cougar Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Doesn't look too different from any other medieval fantasy game... Maybe when they get around to doing a real trailer it'll knock some socks off. We can hope.
Arátoeldar Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I wasn't impressed by the trailer. However this screenshot that I found on another forum gives me hope.
Point Man Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 That screenie looks good. Anyone notice one of the party members is dead?
Pavlos Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 Just to expand on Arátoeldar's news: Source IGN have just uploaded literally five new screens (I can barely contain my excitement, to be honest) from Dragon Age: Origins. While there is a disappointing lack of "Your Majesty" and his over-sized shoulder guards, one screen gives us our first proper glimpse of Dragon Age's -- apparently very Baldur's Gate-esque -- gameplay. Looks promising but we can't really tell that much from a still shot.
Pavlos Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 Source BioWare have released another trailer for Dragon Age: Origins, the game billed as a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate. Members of the BioWare community can also download the old trailers and grab two new desktop wallpapers from the Dragon Age gallery. "BioWare Community members: check the new Dragon Age: Origins website for a pair of videos recently released on Spike TV and GameTrailers.com. The vids are nearly identical with one interesting exception. Can you spot the difference?" I gather from this and the differences between trailers one and two that the two -- almost identical -- videos are designed to demonstrate the way in which your decisions (in this case, whether or not to send in your hounds before letting the arrows fly) can impact the progression of Dragon Age's plot. Your thoughts? I guess what we're all wondering is: Where are the dragons?
Balderdash Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 That screenie looks good. Anyone notice one of the party members is dead? Yeah, makes me wonder whether or not death is permanent in Dragon Age... they keep referencing the BG games in relation to this game after all.
Arátoeldar Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 So much for PC exclusivity. Dragon Age Headed to Consoles Edit Some Different Screenies http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/39957/Dragon-Age-Origins-Podcast-Screenshots-Trailers
Miltiades Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 So much for PC exclusivity. I don't care as long as it comes to the PC and doesn't suffer from the console port.
Serpentine Cougar Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I wonder what voice actors they'll get; it could be interesting to see Rafael Sbarge (Carth) in a non-sci-fi role... I don't care as long as it comes to the PC and doesn't suffer from the console port. Same here.
