[Moridianae]

You think the devs already know they're screwed now that Baldur's Gate 3 exists?

Baldur's Gate shouldn't have any bearing on pivoting to...this.

You may not be able to compete with Larian(and that's okay), but if they really shifted the tone and style to this in an effort to be different, that's...not it.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Was that the actual Dragon Age game that's been in development...the replacement for Dreadwolf?

When watching the trailer I was under the assumption this was some sort of DA multiplayer heros title...

Shit is sad.

 

[Meicyn]

Sorry Biowaren’t, gonna pass on this one based on what has been revealed.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Wasn't that long ago that I played Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Gaming has lost something since those games were made.

Passion, Soul, Vision, Compelling Narrative.

The Purple logo prior to the reveal was already a red flag.

Really sucks there won't be many games with the narrative and gameplay of Kotor, DA:O and Jade Empire. What a waste.

 

[nial]

I don't even like Dragon Age, and this must be one of the worst game trailers I've ever watched.

Wonderful, UCM is flopping again and again, but videogames are trying to imitating them!

Hey, non-English speaking fren

Looks better i guess? Maybe the gameplay will be good COPIUM

 

[Antwix]

This is precisely why I never got my hopes up for the next Mass Effect; The entire future of BioWare hinges on Dragon Age and if this is the best they can do, well… officially rest in piece BioWare. Once this flops, it’ll be the third high profile flop in a row for the studio.

It really is sad. I honestly think Mass Effect is one of coolest universes ever made. Oh well. Maybe Bioware will shut down and EA will sell the license

 

[Ogbert]

You have to accept it’s simply not the same game. The whole team have left, generations gone.

This is just garbage, template drivel.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

If I see one more trailer featuring a horrid emotional “soulful” de-rock’n rolled rendition of a classic rock song I’m committing sudoku.

The weapon and armor models are all chunky and stylized, not a fan of the Fortnite look to be honest. Why is it hard to just do Dragon Age Origins 2?

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I am not excited by the trailer. I will hold off judgement until the gameplay release in two days but my optimism based on what was shown today is low.

 

[Fabieter]

Some light hearted rpg seems fine to me. I dont care if it's a dragon age game.

 

[Punished Miku]

I was honestly shocked how bad it looked. I'll try it on GP in a year. Not expecting much.

Spoiler: what I wanted

Supposedly they started developing a single player DA game in 2015, then canceled it in 2017 and restarted it as a live service game sharing some elements with Anthem (and a bunch of key staff quit).

Then in 2021 they decided to remove the multiplayer and rework it into a single player game.

Check out the development history, it sounds like a massive clusterfuck:

Wheres the gameplay?

Why is Xbox holding back gameplay in their first party games. Makes you think

Thanks for the insight!

This game is begging to be canceled.

If they had any sense they would have known long before BG3 came out.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Wtf.. if this had been good the showcase would have been 10/10

 

[manfestival]

I was definitely trying to be positive about the game but that trailer seems like it is trying to make a light hearted dumpster fire approach that all modern fantasy seem to love to take. Still waiting to see the gameplay trailer.

Dragon Age isn't supposed to look like Fortnite. Whoever chose this art direction is an idiot.

 

[RJMacready73]

RIP Bioware, when this inevitably bombs cause holy god that looked awful, surely Bioware will end up being shuttered? They must be hemorrhaging money

 

[tommib]

This is it. This is the AAAA that will bring the big industry down.

 

[Luipadre]

Tbh this ingame pic looks more like inquisition refined. Definitely better than the trailer. Just look at the qunari chick. Looks much better than the trailer version

 

[Kurimao]

 

[Werewolf Jones]

That trailer was something that should've been left in the 2010s.

Gravitas.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

These companies must love pissing money down the drain, ruining franchises and personally annoying the ever living fuck out of me.

Remember in the first game where darkspawn were created by kidnapping females from the surface and puking toxins into their mouths and raping them endlessly so they lose their minds? Yeah, this is now apparently that setting.

Get fucked Bioware, I look forward to your closure.

 

[Robb]

This looks awful.

 

[Brigandier]

Dragon Age is an EA IP developed by Bioware, Nothing to do with MS/Xbox

 

[Mercenary09]

Welp there went any interest I had in this game. Next Mass Effect going to be ruined by this shit too

 

[freemandos]

I don't even like Dragon Age, and this must be one of the worst game trailers I've ever watched.

Hey, non-English speaking fren

I realized too late xD .

 

[Ivory Samoan]

Im in for this, looks good

I'm in too: I don't see what all the bad buzz is about: looked cartoon like, but unique.

We have Varric back and his trusty Bianca!
Dragons look hearty as fuck - graphical fidelity looks on point (to me at least).
Humor seems good and not too cringe, digging the feel: very Vox Machina.
New companions seem legit: good range of skills and races - the Qunari confuses me, but yeah.
Scout Harding is back, didn't know she had so many freckles: love old Scout Harding *swoon*
Companions seem on point and humerous/tough - the rogue mage killer looked sick!! So did Necro guy.

Overall, excited to see more; for the record too : done more Origins playthroughs than I can count, few of 2/Inq too: love the books and comics too: even dig Dawn of the Seeker and oddly, Absolution...I fail to see how that art style has 'doomed Dragon Age' etc etc.

 

[Gamezone]

Do anyone have the dislike ratio on YouTube? Dragon Age has turned into Fortnite.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

This is definitely the biggest piece of shit from the showcase, absolutely awful.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Of all the ways I thought this game would look, THIS wasn’t it.

This is what I don't get either, do they hate money? Especially when CDPR and Larian have had huge successes building on the foundations that Bioware basically created.

 

[Null Persp]

From Dragon Age Origins to this, what abomination

 

[Complistic]

Can still hear this. Claudia Black

 

[Moochi]

OMG it's worse than I imagined. So totally inconsistent with previous DA it hurts.

 

[Frwrd]

Release Date: Fail 2024

 

[SkylineRKR]

This looks like another GaaS game in terms of aesthetics. Horrible.

 

[IDKFA]

Fucking hell. I cannot believe this looks worse than Inquisition!

It looks like a Fisher-Price version of Dragon Age.

I'm out.

 

[Montauk]

So this is Dreadwolf then? I thought it was just a spin-off earlier, but I can understand why you guys are disappointed now.

I was rolling my eyes at the trailer.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

When watching the trailer I was under the assumption this was some sort of DA multiplayer heros title...

You can be fucking sure this has a PvP or PvE Horde mode together with MTX.

 

[Joshmyersbv]

This series peaked with Origins. After seeing this trailer I wished they never made the games to begin with if this was the end result.

The amount of lore building that was established in the first game is completely wasted. Watching this trailer and then Dragon Age Origins literally made me sick to my stomach. I fucking hate the current gaming landscape.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

[Vlodril]

It shows that it was a gaas game they retooled.
