@@Mercurio2435 and Anthem. And Dragon Age: Inquisition. And Mass Effect 3. Also, if you listen closely to what they're actually saying, they say NOTHING to indicate they have a clear idea of what they want with this next installment.

@@omegagilgamesh also, listen to the the stuff they use to describe their RPG like character interaction is important, decisionss matter, characters are alive and matter, the higher power isn't doing anything so u have to, it's a living breathing soul etc. That sounds like every RPG ever.

@@Sorfex1 The reason it seems to speed up is because as you get older each year becomes less of your overall life experience. 1 year to a 10 year old is 10% of their entire life for example.

@@romy5154 omg honey, what decade are you living in? This is not 2014, bioware has been dead for years now... There was hardly any hope for DAI, none for andromeda and anthem was dead in the womb. Bioware is gone, that's just a husk you see... forget da4
@@anonlvl1957 That's a ghost of lyrium. A spirit that took on her form, like the one who took the form of the divine. At the end of Tresspaser, you learn that.
And I call you the wretched dog, so long as I’m able to take your head and show it to your foolish followers that all the elves have ever belived, from their history, to their culture, to even their gods, are nothing but a lie, I don’t care slightest what would they call me when this is over.
Chi Zhang Thats funny believing in the man in the sky when all the humans beliefs are wrong and are actually things that Solas did 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂😃😂
Nelson_ Rebel It does not make Solas any less false and the belief of elves any less wrong. In any case I’m not here to debate. I’m here to declare my hatred towards this wretched dog and my vow to kill him.(if the game allow it that is, but if the game allow me to do so, I would do so without hesitation even if it means to get my character’s hands dirty)
what i want: 1) dual wield warrior back 2) dwarf romance 3) more cities to explore and less empty open world 4) better animations 5) better hair ( but dont worry.. we have mod) 6) hero of ferelden back
I would bet my last Inquisition horse that the female voice actor they showed is going to be a romanceable female dwarf party member. The concepts appear to show Weisshaupt and we know the griffins are back; and the wardens are up and at 'em. I would assume we're going to get a cameo like Hawke in Inquisition with HoF.
I hope they aren’t stingy on the NPCs like they did with DAI. That’s what made DAO real to me. I also still feel a positive emotional connection to the Gray Wardens and that snippet with the voice acting made me want to charge into the battle with him.
Dragonage2ftw fair bit I think it’s just a bad example cause I really liked the moral ambiguity of da:o which imo stands as the best dragon age game despite the bad graphics (for today’s standards) and honestly tedious combat at times where the enemies weren’t hard just hard to kill but yeah there were too many anti-blood magic options to make a blood mage character believable and in depth
Wyd You up? Phrasing it like that is understandable it’s just hard to put yourself in the position of Hawke (cause they could do blood magic) until the end because why would an inherently heroic person sacrifice their own and others blood for power
I don't care if they don't have a ton of companion NPC's as long as they are people I want in my group, between Sera, Vivianne, cole and Blackwall (hated them all) I was fairly constrained in my group make up.

@@nomercy8989 Inquisition isn't a bad game. Its functional, it works as intended. There are just some fundamentally flawed design aspects. Anthem was a bad game

I hope Dragon Age 4 brings back the Spirit of Bioware. This Game means so much to me. I was not happy what they did with Mass Effect... it was not bad but it could have been absolutely amazing... they missed it. I hope they wont make the same mistake with DA. Please! I will wait for it...or a Dragon Age Origins Remaster ;D
Andromeda wasn't handled by the main BioWare team. They gave it to a smaller team, and Andromeda was their first full game. They deserve another chance to continue the story they were setting up in Andromeda.
I highly doubt Dragon Age 4 will. With EA's track record of destroying beloved franchises in their pursuit of more money, it's safe to say that this will flop too. Really the best thing for us to do is just move on to different franchises from different developers/publishers that actually show, or have proven themselves capable of, promise - like the upcoming Baldur's Gate III from Larian Studios.
Bioware Dev: "You see, we want to make death have an impact in the game, so we are making sot that revival requires mana crystals, which you need to work for, or buy at the game store."
Wonder how my HOF and Hawke reacts when they came to Tevinter to see the one arm Inquisitor who's once a shell of the once glorified Herald Of Andraste
he said "early in production" there is a differance. When a game is in production, they have started with the programming, and are done with making a setting and story for the game.
Wel the original idea supposedly got scrapped after anthem and mike laid law (the head writer) left because of this. So this is techincislly a different game than the one being worked on
I hope we don't HAVE to be a 'hero'. Origins was a lot more nuanced in your actions and consequences whereas Inquisition felt like you could only do variations of the right thing.
Completely agree, Origins was so open in how you could approach things, you could betray anyone, and conspire to become king or queen. Inquisition, you're forced to become figurehead of a holy order and all your choices are fake and force you in the same direction from the very beginning to the very end.
Looks that way. And from the concept art, she looks to be a rogue. I'm actually more curious about the one that looks like they're carrying a friggin gun! First firearm indication? Let's find out. Little sad no Dwarf companions shown. Oh well, still concept art.
"We wanted to tell a story of-- what happens when you don't have power? What happens when the people in charge aren't willing to address the issues?" *Cries in Millenial*
I really hope this next DA is just about a guy making it to survive in a pre-apocaliptic world with his family while "the big guys" do the great work. I mean, I'm done with the "nobodies that become heroes" everywhere
I'm pretty sure DA4's story is going to hit way different than the others in the series because of how many parallels to our current situation are going to pop up.
@@sandeepandas6742 They said MC from Origins will not be there because it wouldn´t be fair for those who decide to kill that person. I still hope for some books, letters or mentions about them.
@Shawthentic that's a half truth, they messed up Andromeda themselves because of petty infighting, thinking the other team wanted to "steal" staff from them.
@Shawthentic Mass Effect 2 and Origins were arguably the superior entries and were under EA. Don't get me wrong EA are the worst but Bioware's issue has been well documented. Nearly a decade to make Anthem but it was just pre production and made in less than two years and same for Andramada.
Considering the fact that in Inquisition your only big choices resulted in the same outcome, I understand why people's trust towards Bioware now is gone.
My heart sang when DA:O's theme played. I'm still upset about Mass Effect: Andromeda & Anthem. But Dragon Age Inquisition (which I am still playing to this day) kept what little faith I have left alive. Please please please please please please please please don't F#%& this up & curb stomp what's left of my faith & love for Bioware.
@@tessabessa13 no I liked it too, what pissed me off about it was when they said F#&% you to us fans who preordered it & stopped supporting it all together. No DLC?! No Multiplayer support?! Damn that. I'm gonna go back eventually but that's always gonna leave a bad taste.
I know it’s hard to avoid the whole Anthem thing. But Dragon Age is more their forte. Let’s hope they return to form. Personally Inquisition is up there for this gen of games.
You thought so? I thought Inquisition was generic as hell. I never could finish it and I tried playing it like 3 times. The best thing about the game was the dragon fights.
Recently got married and convinced my husband to start Dragon Age Origins to help improve his English. He loves it so far but fingers crossed I’ll get him to play the whole series. 🥰
BW used to have something very special that you see once in a generation among Gaming studios. Now... not sure what they got if anything at all. One can hope but I don't expect much, especially when there are supposed to be money making mechanics. I remember a time back 20-10 years ago, they were magnificent. Kotor, Jade empire, ME trilogy and DA:O is true masterpieces imho.
@@TobiOlan They got 1 more strike and they are out. Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem are the 2 strikes. This is basically their last chance before fans completely lose hope for Bioware and mark them as another EA victim
Exactly why I don't trust trailers like this from Bioware anymore. I need to see the game running and not a ton of teasing until 3 months before the game launches. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
@@MartinAslaksen You're entitled to have a bad taste in games haha. Actually, I liked Andromeda too despite the plethora of flaws. The combat was the one redeeming factor, fun times! I actually finished that game as I have done with all ME-games while I haven't completed a single DA-game.
So this tells us nothing....your "behind the scenes" was just people using buzzwords and vague terms like "you go to new places...and do stuff and things" Oh and can't forget the concept art that almost never reflects the actual game, like oh I don't know...Anthem? Andromeda?
@@mohammadalsaad221 It was a bit of a mess but it wasnt irredeemable honestly. but instead of bringing it up to snuff they just abandoned it, stopped supporting it. ive never seen a AAA game from a big franchise get dropped like that so quickly, making sure it would go down forever as a failure. theres no reason for anyone to play it now, the planned DLC was canceled, there wont be a sequel addressing its plot points or characters, its just a wasted effort. I saw it on the PS store for 9$ the other day. EA has long been a curse for development studios, but its not often that you seen a studio kept open after being bought out by EA and you'd almost rather see them die.
Well this is extremely misleading. The og idea got scar peeps after anthem failed. Mike laidlaw quit. Then the guy with the glasses and beard (who worked on mass effect) and Casey Hudson (who made the first three mass effect games) got brought back on for dragon age. Then Casey Hudson said to not worry they are negotiating with ea. So this project had problems, but ardomeda has a peroson die half through production (the lead) then had a bunch of people quite. Same with anthem I think. So the games both had problems in their development cycles. Not that we shouldn’t be cautious, but it’s way different
Exactly I was tearing a bit But with the burns that they give me with mass effect Andromeda and anthem I felt like Hawkeye in the endgame "Don't..... please don't give me any false hope"
Its lile when an anti smoking commercial makes want to smoke a cigarette but instead they're promoting a new game and they make you wanna play the old one again.
I'd like Dragon Age Origins remastered as long as they fix some bugs. My most recent play through of it I encountered a game ending bug in Denerim, every time I would enter a building or change zone in that city the game would crash. Very frustrating.
@@Enclave. Yeah, of course. Remastered doesn't mean just improving visual aspects but also removing all the bugs/glitches. Although, personally speaking, I never encountered the bug you're talking about, or any other tbh, definitely not any game breaking.
@@Enclave. I found that lowering the texture quality decreases the chance of crashing in Denerim it'll still happen on occasion but not as frequently. Still really annoying a decade old game crashes a lot on much superior hardware but it is what it is I guess.
And how the fem chars end up with thick lips and flat chests xD I personally hope we see a female qunari and dwarf in the party - and ofc a hot mage :3
Tiffani Have you played DA2 ? Elves were even more skinnier, they looked like they were about to fly away from the slightliest blast of wind. Even in Origins I find them a bit too small.
@@TheOnceandFutureJake Dorian will definately be in this one. It will be in the Tevinter Imperium, and Dorian cannot die in previous games so his appeareance is 99% confirmed.
Bioware: you'll care about Mass Effect Andromeda Everybody else: Shits broke, fix it. Bioware: No, but you'll love Anthem... It's the next thing. Everybody else: Shits broke also, fix it Bioware: nahh man, but come and check out dragon age... It will make you feel some kind of way. Everyone else: nahh, Bioware is making me feel some kind of way.
Bioware "It will be a great game!" EA walks in "games to be released on Monday make it work." Bioware releases crap bug filled game that needed 3 months more time of love and polish.
I really hope they surprise us and bring back whoever we left in the fade in the last game (Hawke/Stroud/Alistair/Loghain) Mostly Hawke or Alistair I think this will happen because of the wording they used. They're usually straightforward, "(blank) will be killed, (blank) will leave forever" but this option said "(name) will MOST LIKELY die covering your escape". Pls give me my Hawke back ;-;
Anthem spent about 7 years in development and only 1,5 years in full production. And according to TheVerge "Dragon Age is still in early production” according to BioWare GM Casey Hudson. So I don't know where you get "since 2018" came from.
@@OhBoyILoveTomatoes according to Schrier's article Dragon age was rebooted in 2018 and in 2019 was still the early concept phases of development. I believe the exact quote was "The idea for the game is changing everyday" so what is shown here has been in development for only slight over a year.
@Spencer JL Sneak? Not their style. Openly, and abundantly flaunt them all over the place is more likely. Also, get ready for the $70-90 initial price tag.
I skipped Anthem, so I don't feel as betrayed as a lot of the other commenters here. Looking forward to this and quietly optimistic about it. Don't let us down BioWare!
Given how disappointing Inquisition turned out to be (fetch quest galore, making crafting mandatory at higher difficulties and making PC mouse and keyboard controls unplayable) and the fiasco that was Mass Effect: Andromeda, I'm already feeling betrayed. I forgave the bad Mass Effect 3 ending due to the massive crunch from being forced to implement multiplayer by EA and their original story being leaked. But Bioware has two major strikes in my book already. And DA4 just sounds like it'll delve into Woke politics...
absolutely EVERYTHING is on the line with this game. Hopefully they’ll meet and surpass expectations but if they fail.. BioWare will fall into the pit of abandoned and forgotten studios or meet a fate worse than shut down, Making cash-grab mobile games till they slowly get closed.
@@Darkdaej No offence but if You pre-ordered Inquisition after the fact that they didn't even care for "some" reason to show PC hud and UI is kind of an idiotic move. I had little hopes for that game, especially after they promised return of isometric view, pause and tactical slots but after they didn't even cared to show it properly along with PC version of ui.. red lamp huge like The Eye of Sauron lighten up over my head. I understood they are not honest and I wasn't wrong since they lied about all that they've said about "return of Origin based gameplay" as an optional for those who wanted it.
@@lxdead5585 Nah, thankfully I didn't pre-order Inquisition. I got it when it was on sale. However I did preorder Mass Effect 3...Heck I took the day off work to binge through the game...
@@Darkdaej That must have been sad. ME3 was probably as big let down as D2. You expected the game to be at least on par with previous instalments in the franchise and You get horrible game :/
I smiled as I watched my Warden walk through the Eluvian with Morrigan.. I cried as my Champions blade unfortunately found its way into Anders and Fenris.. I laughed as Varric roped my Inquisitor into an especially spirited game of wicked grace.. the time I’ve spent in the world of Thedas is something I hold dear to me.. my relationship with these games is unlike anything else.. I eagerly await the next chapter of the story.. I promised a friend I’d save him from making a mistake he’d come to regret..
After Anthem, ME:A and DA:I I take every word form Bioware with a grain of salt. There is some hope left but I dont buy anything until they prove that they rly understood what they fked up.
Well.Time to replay the first three again after seeing this. Despite how old DA:O is now, I still say it's one of my top 5 games I can replay endlessly.
I still can play orgins today on nightmare solo with a rouge build and go ham by far my most memorable moment in my gaming life when i soloed the entire game
Here's how Bioware reclaims the throne. 1. Give DA4 whatever amount of time it needs to simmer to be the grand finale it MUST be for Solas. 2. Complete remaster of the MASS EFFECT trilogy. Updated engine. Completely overhaul the weapons systems in each game to be more like 3, push the narrative to be more in line with 2's sort of grimdark theater. 3. Announce KOTOR 3 w/a full length cinematic and IN-GAME trailer the day the ME trilogy remaster drops. 4. Ascend to godhood...
In regards to point 2: Better system, imo, would be to have the ammo systems of 1, but with the equipping and weapon modification system of 3. Completely agree with shifting the total narrative of the whole trilogy to match up with 2's grimdark theater of fun and death, though.
You do realise Revan wasn’t even in KOTOR 2, right? Besides the KOTOR games and SWTOR game take place in two different universes judging by how much the Revan novel contradicts KOTOR 2. Due to Legends being non-canon they could do whatever they want, without having to worry about the movies.
@@PaulZeroSolis I would be down for that. I liked the ammo system in 1 quite a bit. It was definitely preferable to having the various types of rounds as ability unlocks in the character trees...like...was that 2 that handled it that way?
Dragon Age series is the only thing can compare to The Witcher series (Story, Feeling, the weight of choices over your shoulder, etc..). And everyone is craving for something to fill the big hole that Witcher 3 left. If they get this right, it will bring a whole new era to their company. Come one, please make it right !
Please bring back the tactics system. That’s what made me fall in love with the series in the first place. The fact that you can basically rewrite your companion’s combat AI to do whatever you needed it to do; that was amazing.
Yeah, but people prefer if they just stand still, hold right mouse button, and use just 4 skills to faceroll the game on hardest diff. Seriously... DAI was that challenging.
The people who designed that tactics system are long gone...the new team had their chance to put it in inquisition but failed since they want to appeal to a new audience. I wish people like you would've gotten the hint back in DA2 that DAO was a once in a lifetime rpg. Bioware is not the same, nor has the same team it once had. These new bloods don't know what made DAO so great, what you got out of inquisition expect more of that in the new game
Considering them talking of our character being someone without power... Even with the Inquisition disbanded, the Inquisitor already has a reputation so highly unlikely we'll be playing them again, though they'll most likely appear due to epilogue of DAI Trespasser and of course due to connections with the obvious main antagonist. As for hand replacement, considering original concept for Iron Bull had him having a hand cannon and also the Trespasser epilogue slide of Inquisitor hanging out with Sera having a mechanical crossbow, it certainly would be possible for that to be a thing. One thing to note, if we're going to Weisshaupt there is potential for both Hawke (if not sacrificed in DAI) and a 'Dark Ritual' DAO Warden to make an appearance too seeing as Hawke potentially went with the Wardens back to Weisshaupt and previous games hinting at DAO Warden going to Weisshaupt.
@@stronk8107 Only way I could see that happening is with a Dark Ritual Keiran. You have just made me think of how the Well choice could come into play because if Solas took Mythal's soul (and potentially the soul of Urthemiel) then he could technically take command of either the Inquisitor or Morrigan if they got into a fight, depending on who drank from the Well. So we could potentially have a 'Kill Morrigan/Inquisitor' situation.
Solas was a friend and became family. I want to save him I think what he did and is doing is wrong but I want to save him from himself even if he doesn't want it.
I mean... they really are. Each release of DA was groundbreaking in different ways, and I really applaud them for trying new things instead of releasing the same game 10 times over like some other companies do. I really think people who hate on the later installments for being "different" have 0 appreciation for game design.
This montage actually gave me full Andromeda vibes. Also, it doesn't even seem to directly continue DA3 story or its revelations. Looks more like an "open" world type of game with many different zones. I am really not excited yet.
I honestly hope they will just forget about the 2 and 3 altogether :D If I see a dwarf with a crossbow, an annoying elf, or a witch that I loved but got ruined over time once again, I swear I will march to the Bioware HQ with a torch and a pitchfork.
Me2 bro. I hate it. Over 10 years for TES and over 6 years for DA4... but I am certain DA4 will come somewhere between 2022/23 since this is a big company and this game is a main focus. But still... I am in my early 30s then... and idk if I have the time to play it sigh...
I’m only in my early 20s, but I can relate. I’m growing more and more into full adulthood each passing year, let’s hope I’ll still have the time or passion to play future games like these..
A DA tradition is that a companion of the previous DA is going to be in the next DA as a companion again. Happened with Oghren, Anders and Varric. Along with the tradition of having a spirit (or someone possesed by a spirit) and a grey warden as companions.
No matter how much I love the Dragon Age series I will wait on this one. Also when she was saying that Bioware and EA are one of the front runners on motion capture, I almost fell out of my chair laughing so hard. Dragon Age: Inquisition had some very stiff animations. People may not be happy with Naughty Dog right now but they have much better motion capture than Bioware does. And they have been doing it for years. One thing I will say, Dragon Age 4 better have fixed is the plastic snap-on hair and more styles other than short, shorter and buzzed.
Animations was never Bioware's forte. Their strength comes from their characters, setting, soundtrack and atmosphere. I sure hope they upped their animations though.
Anthem. No amount of talking heads or in-engine trailers will save BioWare. Only delivering a game of the quality they were once known for. Until then, there is nothing to see or get excited for. The question is can the current staff deliver on the quality level the staff of 20 years ago? So far, not even close.
You have no clue what you are talking about. First off andromeda and anthem and quits and deaths half way through production. Casey Hudson went to work for micosoft after mass effect 3. He wanted to work on new stuff. He was stifled and went back to BioWare. Around that tome mike laidlaw ideas got scrapped and Hudson took over. The mass effect team is Essentially working on this. Not adromeda but the first three. So you should know about staff changes and whose in charge before you run your mouth off.
Napo ski I am saying that he doesn’t understand that the current staff isn’t the staff that worked on those two games. Don’t be hyped. I don’t care. I am telling you that his reasoning is factually faulty
Conrad Korbol Mark Darrah was among the top brass working on Anthem from start to finish... Anthem was largely made by Bioware Edmonton before it was given to Austin post release. DA4 now being made by Edmonton but yes tell me how it’s all new people.
"What happens when people in charge aren't willing to address the issues." wait, isnt it how all the dragon age games begins? when you, unknown hero of future, start from the bottom to ascend for some position of power to be defender of something? wtf bioware?
Yeah you start out as a recruit to the GW, a refugee from ferelden, and a prisoner but ascend to a commander and hero of ferelden, the viscount of Kirkwall or the liberator of the mages, and the inquisitor
Origins was like that, but with II and Inquisition your hero ends up in a position of power or privilege by the second act (Hawke becomes an influential aristocrat, Herald becomes the Inquisitor). I’m guessing DA4 will be a situation where you and your party spend the entire game as adventurers with no actual power or influence over the world- basically imagine Les Miserables with dragons and elves, as opposed to Count of Monte Cristo which was “dude becomes powerful and uses it to help his quest.”
Sanguiluna fair but if you think about that feeling of building up your strength is gone by any of the dlc since you saved the world from the blight by uniting a divided country so you’re already instantly recognizable by anybody with a quarter of a braincell but yeah 2 and inquisition kind of rush the whole hero thing
I don't know much about Anthem, as I've just never cared enough to keep track of it, but don't blame Bioware for Andromeda. EA and various License issues forced them to switch tracks part way through production and rebuild the game in an engine that wasn't suited for it. What we got at the end of their development hell was a buggy, poorly optimised but, in my opinion, enjoyable game.

I hope they aren’t stingy on the NPCs like they did with DAI. That’s what made DAO real to me. I also still feel a positive emotional connection to the Gray Wardens and that snippet with the voice acting made me want to charge into the battle with him.
@Wyd You up? Blood Magic protags have lead to shitty writing in every DA game.
It’s for the best they didn’t let you do that in DAI.
Dragonage2ftw fair bit I think it’s just a bad example cause I really liked the moral ambiguity of da:o which imo stands as the best dragon age game despite the bad graphics (for today’s standards) and honestly tedious combat at times where the enemies weren’t hard just hard to kill but yeah there were too many anti-blood magic options to make a blood mage character believable and in depth
Wyd You up? I’m hoping for that in da:4 (not specifically blood magic just the character morals and choice
Wyd You up? Phrasing it like that is understandable it’s just hard to put yourself in the position of Hawke (cause they could do blood magic) until the end because why would an inherently heroic person sacrifice their own and others blood for power

Andromeda wasn't handled by the main BioWare team. They gave it to a smaller team, and Andromeda was their first full game. They deserve another chance to continue the story they were setting up in Andromeda.
Too bad, the original old bioware team has left studio years ago... we only see people work on this dragon age is a crew who make anthem & andromeda
I still highly blame EA rather then Bioware since EA rushed the game when it still wasn’t anywhere near finishing
The problem is there is so little on the original Bioware left most of the higher ups left and the staff have been bleeding away,
I highly doubt Dragon Age 4 will. With EA's track record of destroying beloved franchises in their pursuit of more money, it's safe to say that this will flop too. Really the best thing for us to do is just move on to different franchises from different developers/publishers that actually show, or have proven themselves capable of, promise - like the upcoming Baldur's Gate III from Larian Studios.

U sholl right
Completely agree, Origins was so open in how you could approach things, you could betray anyone, and conspire to become king or queen.

I skipped Anthem, so I don't feel as betrayed as a lot of the other commenters here. Looking forward to this and quietly optimistic about it. Don't let us down BioWare!
Given how disappointing Inquisition turned out to be (fetch quest galore, making crafting mandatory at higher difficulties and making PC mouse and keyboard controls unplayable) and the fiasco that was Mass Effect: Andromeda, I'm already feeling betrayed.
I forgave the bad Mass Effect 3 ending due to the massive crunch from being forced to implement multiplayer by EA and their original story being leaked. But Bioware has two major strikes in my book already.
And DA4 just sounds like it'll delve into Woke politics...
Just give us everything that made Origins an amazing experience. The storytelling, the choices and the Grey Wardens! Make me a real Grey Warden again!
Even the long Fade and Deep Roads
@@demonking-zm3rs The people who made Origins is long gone.
The story has evolved past Grey Wardens, Darkspawn, and the Blight. They are still aspects of the story but I doubt they'll take center stage again.
@@SSC604 True but every time I play origin having to slog through the fade and the deep road always makes me want to drop the controller.
We don’t need the grey wardens to make it great but I completely agree
absolutely EVERYTHING is on the line with this game. Hopefully they’ll meet and surpass expectations but if they fail.. BioWare will fall into the pit of abandoned and forgotten studios or meet a fate worse than shut down, Making cash-grab mobile games till they slowly get closed.
You have a cellphone though, right?
They burned me twice before. I'm weary, hopeful but weary
Yeah I'm not making the mistake of pre-ordering this time...
@@Darkdaej No offence but if You pre-ordered Inquisition after the fact that they didn't even care for "some" reason to show PC hud and UI is kind of an idiotic move. I had little hopes for that game, especially after they promised return of isometric view, pause and tactical slots but after they didn't even cared to show it properly along with PC version of ui.. red lamp huge like The Eye of Sauron lighten up over my head. I understood they are not honest and I wasn't wrong since they lied about all that they've said about "return of Origin based gameplay" as an optional for those who wanted it.
@@lxdead5585 Nah, thankfully I didn't pre-order Inquisition. I got it when it was on sale. However I did preorder Mass Effect 3...Heck I took the day off work to binge through the game...
@@Darkdaej That must have been sad. ME3 was probably as big let down as D2. You expected the game to be at least on par with previous instalments in the franchise and You get horrible game :/
@@lxdead5585 Well, the game itself was great. It was the final 30 minutes that pretty much shat the bed.
I smiled as I watched my Warden walk through the Eluvian with Morrigan.. I cried as my Champions blade unfortunately found its way into Anders and Fenris.. I laughed as Varric roped my Inquisitor into an especially spirited game of wicked grace.. the time I’ve spent in the world of Thedas is something I hold dear to me.. my relationship with these games is unlike anything else.. I eagerly await the next chapter of the story.. I promised a friend I’d save him from making a mistake he’d come to regret..
Well said, very well said. Dragon Age Origins defined RPGs for me and nothing comes even close to the world of Thedas. I sincerely hope they deliver
Everyone seems forgotten their empty promises on anthem. Don't preorder their games. One of the staff had collapse overtime.
Not the same studio or team but ok.
Viktor Stagnetti SAY IT LOUDER for the ill informed
umm.. the first guy shown in this video was a senior in anthem, as was mark Darrah. only one that is actually gone is been Irving
@@alexlloyd9201 and david gaider
After Anthem, ME:A and DA:I I take every word form Bioware with a grain of salt.
There is some hope left but I dont buy anything until they prove that they rly understood what they fked up.
I feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life for this. I hope they don’t ruin it
ngl they probably will
Poison Damage Ik ☹️
we gotta win game 3 tonight...
Drinwor I guarantee a win tonight
I’m so nervous because I love the series and I don’t want to see it end up like Mass Effect
They just lost all the grittiness of Origins, hopefully they prove me wrong and recapture that magic
I don't see it. This is just concept art. And when I think of origins, Grit isn't the first thing that comes to mind.
@@williamwatson4354 dirt, maybe.
@@williamwatson4354 Eh. I can see it. It was certainly the darkest game so far, and visually is very "Gritty"
Absolutely. Every game since has creeped closer to Peter pan.
Andrew H exactly, the mood in origins was so bleak and depressing. Now it’s like I’m playing in Narnia.
I want to go Antiva, Weissaupt, Pol Vollen, and Tevinter finally.
Game in centered around Tevinter, don't know if we will get Par Vollen but we should get a lil bit of Nevarra and maybe some Saheron
Well.Time to replay the first three again after seeing this. Despite how old DA:O is now, I still say it's one of my top 5 games I can replay endlessly.
"In war, Victory. In Peace,Vigilance. In Death, Sacrifice".
I have never fully left DA trilogy since it’s my go to games when I need to escape from bad days.
I still can play orgins today on nightmare solo with a rouge build and go ham by far my most memorable moment in my gaming life when i soloed the entire game
Origins is ine of the best games of all time
Origins owns my soul. That game will forever be my most favorite. It was so amazing 😭
Please no fetch quest though. Sincerely.
Nah people love that remember for a lot of people Length of the game = Price
PlEaSe nO fEtCh QueST ThOuGh. SiNcErElY.
Funny thing is a fetch quest can be fun if you don't make it feel like a fetch quest.
I didn't much care for collecting shards in DA:I.
Daniel Kaiser I don’t even know what the rewards are cause I never collected them all.
Here's how Bioware reclaims the throne.
1. Give DA4 whatever amount of time it needs to simmer to be the grand finale it MUST be for Solas.
2. Complete remaster of the MASS EFFECT trilogy. Updated engine. Completely overhaul the weapons systems in each game to be more like 3, push the narrative to be more in line with 2's sort of grimdark theater.
3. Announce KOTOR 3 w/a full length cinematic and IN-GAME trailer the day the ME trilogy remaster drops.
4. Ascend to godhood...
@@villanelle2444 why not follow his son? Or other aspects of the swkotor? There's more characters than Revan. Or the rest of his family or Metraa
In regards to point 2: Better system, imo, would be to have the ammo systems of 1, but with the equipping and weapon modification system of 3. Completely agree with shifting the total narrative of the whole trilogy to match up with 2's grimdark theater of fun and death, though.
You do realise Revan wasn’t even in KOTOR 2, right?
Besides the KOTOR games and SWTOR game take place in two different universes judging by how much the Revan novel contradicts KOTOR 2. Due to Legends being non-canon they could do whatever they want, without having to worry about the movies.
@@PaulZeroSolis I would be down for that. I liked the ammo system in 1 quite a bit. It was definitely preferable to having the various types of rounds as ability unlocks in the character trees...like...was that 2 that handled it that way?
Well, I can't front..."For the wardens!" ...that got me. I hope redemption is nigh...
No one dies on my watch!
Just keep Warden Davrin away from any airlocks
I’m so worried for this game but at the same time I’m keeping my expectations low as possible just to save myself the disappointment
Bioware magic? Now I'm skeptical
Dragon Age series is the only thing can compare to The Witcher series (Story, Feeling, the weight of choices over your shoulder, etc..). And everyone is craving for something to fill the big hole that Witcher 3 left. If they get this right, it will bring a whole new era to their company. Come one, please make it right !
Who's here after Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah left Bioware?
Wait what? Do you have an article explaining that?
lmao they're jumping off the sinking ship.
Please bring back the tactics system. That’s what made me fall in love with the series in the first place. The fact that you can basically rewrite your companion’s combat AI to do whatever you needed it to do; that was amazing.
Yeah, but people prefer if they just stand still, hold right mouse button, and use just 4 skills to faceroll the game on hardest diff. Seriously... DAI was that challenging.
maciek1929940 yep, in DA:I they sacrificed everything that made DA unique and exciting in exchange for a big open world.
The people who designed that tactics system are long gone...the new team had their chance to put it in inquisition but failed since they want to appeal to a new audience. I wish people like you would've gotten the hint back in DA2 that DAO was a once in a lifetime rpg. Bioware is not the same, nor has the same team it once had. These new bloods don't know what made DAO so great, what you got out of inquisition expect more of that in the new game
blah .urgh inquisition felt like DA just enough to tell it’s still the same franchise.
@@darkeningkai "DAO was a once in a lifetime rpg" 😭
Yo just let me continue my Lavellan. She's got unfinished business.
This!!! I wish :(
@Napo ski Oh I'm sure there are ways around that lol.
Considering them talking of our character being someone without power... Even with the Inquisition disbanded, the Inquisitor already has a reputation so highly unlikely we'll be playing them again, though they'll most likely appear due to epilogue of DAI Trespasser and of course due to connections with the obvious main antagonist.
As for hand replacement, considering original concept for Iron Bull had him having a hand cannon and also the Trespasser epilogue slide of Inquisitor hanging out with Sera having a mechanical crossbow, it certainly would be possible for that to be a thing.
One thing to note, if we're going to Weisshaupt there is potential for both Hawke (if not sacrificed in DAI) and a 'Dark Ritual' DAO Warden to make an appearance too seeing as Hawke potentially went with the Wardens back to Weisshaupt and previous games hinting at DAO Warden going to Weisshaupt.
@@stronk8107 Only way I could see that happening is with a Dark Ritual Keiran.
You have just made me think of how the Well choice could come into play because if Solas took Mythal's soul (and potentially the soul of Urthemiel) then he could technically take command of either the Inquisitor or Morrigan if they got into a fight, depending on who drank from the Well.
So we could potentially have a 'Kill Morrigan/Inquisitor' situation.
Solas was a friend and became family. I want to save him I think what he did and is doing is wrong but I want to save him from himself even if he doesn't want it.
"We're very experimental here at BioWare" lmao
Lol 😂
I mean... they really are. Each release of DA was groundbreaking in different ways, and I really applaud them for trying new things instead of releasing the same game 10 times over like some other companies do.
I really think people who hate on the later installments for being "different" have 0 appreciation for game design.
"get woke, go broke"
hopefully they finally realized their past mistakes lmao but probably not
Springxnich21 they were very “experimental” with mass effect andromeda and anthem 😂😂
They’re still experimenting with Anthem, and that’s not even a joke
This montage actually gave me full Andromeda vibes. Also, it doesn't even seem to directly continue DA3 story or its revelations. Looks more like an "open" world type of game with many different zones. I am really not excited yet.
I honestly hope they will just forget about the 2 and 3 altogether :D If I see a dwarf with a crossbow, an annoying elf, or a witch that I loved but got ruined over time once again, I swear I will march to the Bioware HQ with a torch and a pitchfork.
@@orcusdei Varric is awesome, what are you smoking?
I cried when I saw Patrick Weekes. He won’t let us down
This reveal of nothing and veeery generalized 'overview' tells me its still years away...Im getting old, lets get going here lol
Me2 bro. I hate it. Over 10 years for TES and over 6 years for DA4... but I am certain DA4 will come somewhere between 2022/23 since this is a big company and this game is a main focus. But still... I am in my early 30s then... and idk if I have the time to play it sigh...
I’m only in my early 20s, but I can relate. I’m growing more and more into full adulthood each passing year, let’s hope I’ll still have the time or passion to play future games like these..

Is that Dorian and Isabela in the concept art...? Oh boy.
You already know those two are going to be in a party together at least once if they're companions
A DA tradition is that a companion of the previous DA is going to be in the next DA as a companion again. Happened with Oghren, Anders and Varric. Along with the tradition of having a spirit (or someone possesed by a spirit) and a grey warden as companions.
No matter how much I love the Dragon Age series I will wait on this one. Also when she was saying that Bioware and EA are one of the front runners on motion capture, I almost fell out of my chair laughing so hard. Dragon Age: Inquisition had some very stiff animations. People may not be happy with Naughty Dog right now but they have much better motion capture than Bioware does. And they have been doing it for years. One thing I will say, Dragon Age 4 better have fixed is the plastic snap-on hair and more styles other than short, shorter and buzzed.
Animations was never Bioware's forte.
Their strength comes from their characters, setting, soundtrack and atmosphere.
I sure hope they upped their animations though.
Anthem.
No amount of talking heads or in-engine trailers will save BioWare. Only delivering a game of the quality they were once known for. Until then, there is nothing to see or get excited for. The question is can the current staff deliver on the quality level the staff of 20 years ago? So far, not even close.
You have no clue what you are talking about. First off andromeda and anthem and quits and deaths half way through production. Casey Hudson went to work for micosoft after mass effect 3. He wanted to work on new stuff. He was stifled and went back to BioWare. Around that tome mike laidlaw ideas got scrapped and Hudson took over. The mass effect team is Essentially working on this. Not adromeda but the first three.
So you should know about staff changes and whose in charge before you run your mouth off.
Napo ski I am saying that he doesn’t understand that the current staff isn’t the staff that worked on those two games. Don’t be hyped. I don’t care. I am telling you that his reasoning is factually faulty
Napo ski 0 hype is a bit much. People may be cautious but fans of the franchise are excited at the potential of a new game.
Conrad Korbol Mark Darrah was among the top brass working on Anthem from start to finish...
Anthem was largely made by Bioware Edmonton before it was given to Austin post release. DA4 now being made by Edmonton but yes tell me how it’s all new people.
everyones complaining and cracking jokes and I'm just chilling here eating this up and being gENUINELY EXCITED
I try to but seeing the results of there games goinf downhill I find it hard to stay optimistic but I do want it to be a solid game
S A M E!!!!!!!
"What happens when people in charge aren't willing to address the issues."
wait, isnt it how all the dragon age games begins? when you, unknown hero of future, start from the bottom to ascend for some position of power to be defender of something? wtf bioware?
I was thinking more along the lines of Mass Effect 1 and the Council.
Yeah you start out as a recruit to the GW, a refugee from ferelden, and a prisoner but ascend to a commander and hero of ferelden, the viscount of Kirkwall or the liberator of the mages, and the inquisitor
Origins was like that, but with II and Inquisition your hero ends up in a position of power or privilege by the second act (Hawke becomes an influential aristocrat, Herald becomes the Inquisitor). I’m guessing DA4 will be a situation where you and your party spend the entire game as adventurers with no actual power or influence over the world- basically imagine Les Miserables with dragons and elves, as opposed to Count of Monte Cristo which was “dude becomes powerful and uses it to help his quest.”
Sanguiluna fair but if you think about that feeling of building up your strength is gone by any of the dlc since you saved the world from the blight by uniting a divided country so you’re already instantly recognizable by anybody with a quarter of a braincell but yeah 2 and inquisition kind of rush the whole hero thing
I don't trust this....
Me neither
Dont trust any game until your playing it on your TV.
No pre-orders wait for reviews.

Yeah DA4 is finished.Anthem was the nail in the coffin for them.
@@Deadshot4396 Anthem failing allowed them all to focus on DA4 and kept it from turning into a MP game, like what??
@@Nemisionn it’s not just anthem most of the lead designers for DAI and DA2 are gone.
@@Deadshot4396 designers, maybe. But most of the og team is actually still there.
Brought to you by the same people who made Anthem and Mass Effect Andromeda!
I don't know much about Anthem, as I've just never cared enough to keep track of it, but don't blame Bioware for Andromeda. EA and various License issues forced them to switch tracks part way through production and rebuild the game in an engine that wasn't suited for it. What we got at the end of their development hell was a buggy, poorly optimised but, in my opinion, enjoyable game.
Andromeda was developed by BioWare Montreal which was later merged into Motive Studios. Montreal had nothing to do with Anthem.
