This was seriously one of the worst reveals I’ve ever seen for any game, especially considering the franchise it’s in. It is just mind-bogglingly bad in every respect. Looks like shit, totally cringe, marvel quips, characters look stupid, formula is played out, to think they spent $200+ million on this says a lot.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I'll play it but it's so damn obvious that Bioware loves their character diversity lol. You can count 1 of every race/sex.

 

[diffusionx]

If the gameplay reveal is so much better than this trailer than they need to ditch the schedule and release the gameplay reveal tomorrow. They don't need another 24 hours of people deservedly shitting on the garbage they just dropped.

Its a fantasy game. There is no reason for there not to be diversity. Less than 12% of the worlds population is white, and so many people on this forum upset that a fantasy game set in another world has character diversity. Just lol

Really strange for you to pick this of all games to shill, after that video trailer. Like, bro, there are good RPGs out just play those instead of simping for this crap.

 

[Luipadre]

In game picture of the capital. Hype!

Now we are talking...

 

[hidaaan]

The trailer looked really interesting! I haven't played any of the earlier Dragon Age games (got one of them for free on EGS) - would I need to play any of them to enjoy this one based on the trailer?

Dragon Age origins was very addicting

 

[Fbh]

Looks terrible as expected.
As I said in the reveal thread, the only hope for this game is that the gameplay is really really solid

 

[ahtlas7]

They even ruined that song! Wtf!

 

[Ferdimage]

Cant take games seriously with that colour scheme, it just reminds me of Saints Row the Third.

 

[semiconscious]

what if a number of game scripts were already being written by ai, & they've just never gotten around to telling us?...

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Was this supposed to excite me?

 

[Platinumstorm]

I was randomly recommended this on YouTube today, and I didn't know a new game was in development. I have played dragon age 1 and I thought it was terrific.

This is possibly the worst trailer I've ever seen.

It has all of the typical tropes of modern trailers like using crummy and inappropriate cover music, and then the entire atmosphere of the universe was turned upside down.

 

[Dazraell]

Oooof

 

[sigmaZ]

Coming this Fall to Disney Plus!

 

[hyperbertha]

This is going to be cancelled lol. They better if they have any sense. Or they'll have a disaster worse than suicide sqd in their hands. And bioware is going to be shuttered.

 

[Fbh]

The new Mass Effect reveal trailer will be Fortnite Shepard escaping from some bad guys with her multicultural team of friends.
Then she'll slip on something.
Record scratch
"...yup, that's me"

 

[existensmaximum]

This looks absolutely shockingly bad

 

[{insert code here}]

An abomination of a game. Marvel movies and Fortnite have just destroyed so much talent in the western development scene. It's insane how so many designers and creatives draw inspiration from them and how bad most of it is. How long is it going to take for us to get over this hump

 

[SJRB]

Shinobi is not one to overhype a game. From everything I have seen, he is a very reserved leaker. Not hyperbolic at all

I trust him more than I do some mediocre CGI trailer. Also, other insiders have confirmed the Dragon Age has come along nicely

So what you’re saying is that instead of forming an opinion based off a trailer that you can watch with your two own eyes, you dismiss it as rubbish and follow the word of someone on Twitter saying it’s good with the source being “dude trust me bro”.

 

[Big Baller]

I dont care what anybody says. Shinobi's son is black

 

[Roufianos]

I've only played a couple of hours of Origins and Inquisition but I just assumed this was a hero shooter or something. Mass Effect ain't happening.

 

[captainnapalm]

Whoever thought it was a good idea to use a pop song to sell fantasy should be fired - talk about missing the point. People like fantasy because they want to get away from things like pop.

And what a lame bunch of companions. Of course not one beautiful woman because why have that in fantasy - obviously those two things don't go together at all.

 

[Bert Big Balls]

There should be something in place to say that any sequels in an established franchise like this have to follow the correct artstyle, tone, etc than the originals. Otherwise you end up with complete garbage like this where they've clearly just made a pile of shit and slapped the name on it to move more copies. Luckily, it looks like people won't be buying this, and I hope this bombs fucking HARD.

 

[Schmendrick]

This strikes the same tunes as Concorde.

Artistically dead generic garbage.

 

[Starbuck2907]

I thought this was an ad for a “hero shooter” with a fantasy setting until I saw that it was Dragon Age.

Let’s hope the game is good, but for now, I expect a piece of shit.

Tuesday, you will see

 

[GinSama]

Is just me or they are trying to capture the style and whatever of the dragon and dungeons last movie??

 

[Chechack]

Quick

Someone check if this has Sweet Baby's hand on it or not

 

[GymWolf]

More like diverse age.

 

[kruis]

Quick

There's no need for their involvement.

Oh, Corinne Busche's Twitter account is now locked and comments are invisible. Of course.

 

[AV]

Was nice knowing BioWare.

 

[Life Diff]

Teehee we might run in to Darkspawn
Bruh kill me, can Owlcat games pick up the IP please? Might actually get a sequel to Origins worth a shit

 

[Filben]

The fuck did I just watch? Why does it have to be purple? Saint's Row meets Fortnite? What's with the quips and that trash song at the end?

This isn't Dragon Age. And then they wonder why this game is gonna bomb.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I'll play it but it's so damn obvious that Bioware loves their character diversity lol. You can count 1 of every race/sex.

I agree but in all fairness that's all Western media nowadays.

Look up who the game director is.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I hope someone makes a mod for Origins and instead of the regular visions the Archdemon gives you it's just this trailer.

 

[ProtoByte]

DoA. The character models look like they've been put through the Sea of Thieves engine.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

Nah, I just like trolling all the transphobes who desperately want this game to fail, and that was before any trailer was released

 

[blue velvet]

Who needs dragon age anymore when you have baldur's gate and divinity series? The gameplay mechanics might not be exactly the same but I seriously doubt bioware is capable making a game with so much depth these days. There hasn't been a good Dragon Age game since the first one, DA2 and Inquisition were both meh at best. And their last good game was Mass Effect 2 released almost 15 years ago.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

The comments for the video are hilarious and pretty much echoes what everyone is saying here.

I definitely agree the trailer is off putting but the game might still be good. I like the idea of a highly advanced, magically speaking, city so that could be really fun to explore.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Well, my roommate is transgender and I still agree with what most people are saying here.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

Well, my roommate is transgender and I still think the trailer was pretty much garbage.

Yeah, it is not a good trailer. And I'm not talking about everybody here, but there are a lot who want this game to be terrible. There was a thread a few days on the games announcement. Everybody there was bashing it for having a transgender director. Just openly hoping the game fails miserably. The game may suck, the director may suck too. IDK, I have not played it. But at least I hope it is great

Nothing wrong with Fortnite.

It’s not for me, but as an actual game, it’s brilliant.

 

[Barakov]

Oooof

The internet went in on this one.

 

[Madserb2023]

I am all for them making whatever they want to, because they wil fail and go out of business. I don't care if the game has a transgender director but I do care if that person's politics are forced into the game. If I go to a restaurant and I ask for a steak and I get a lecture from the server because they're a vegan then that's a problem. It's what defenders still don't understand. They are projecting their own superficial prejudice on others. They see someone's sexuality, race and gender as the most important thing so I must also. Its because I don't is why I think the way I do.

 

[Stafford]

In game picture of the capital. Hype!

Honestly looks more like artwork to me? This does look dope, but if it's just art, well, that's not worth much then.

 

[captainnapalm]

Is this going to be a transgender character or something because apparently this is a woman companion (shudder). It's amazing that we've gotten to the point where this does not shock me.

 

[Zheph]

Wow, just saw this... can't believe this is DA now
