KvP:
Hooray!

So it's Bioware's new quote "dark fantasy" unquote RPG, under development for about 5 years now. They had some screenies years ago, but chances are the game looks considerably different now. Looks like it's coming out in '09, probably late in the year.

So... Gametrailers will have an official "trailer" on Friday. Maybe we'll learn something. Or maybe this thread will remain useless for another 6 or 7 months. We'll see.

--- Quote ---* The story is dark-much darker than the usual BioWare fare-and influenced by “realistic” modern fantasy like George R. R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones.

Sign me the fuck up, srsly.

Spluff:
I've been excited for this since it was announced. It's been constantly pushed back because other games take priority, but hopefully it'll be worth the wait. They have described it as the spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate series, which is a damn big claim.

They're building the world from the ground up. A few interesting things that I remember reading-

-It doesn't contain gods, like in the usual fantasy game (or at least, it doesn't contain proof of gods, much like the world we live in now). This means clerics/priests etc. are out.
-It has combat that utilizes the environment. Apparently cover plays a big part.
-The character gets to take part in epic, large scale battles.

Storm Rider:
As much as I love Bioware, I find it hard to get excited about this because it's been the 'spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate' for five goddamn years now. People bag on Too Human for being in development forever, but that game basically was completely different each time they scrapped it and moved it to another engine/platform. I have no idea what has been taking Bioware this long considering all the games they've announced and released in the interim. Plus, since it's a PC game, I probably won't play it unless it has system requirements low enough that it can run on my laptop. I really want to see them make another game that can live up to Baldur's Gate, but until we see something concrete, I can't get my hopes up too high.

ackblom12:
It's just like Spluff said, other games have taken priority for the last few years. As excited as I am for this game, I can understand that as a company, Mass Effect and the other projects they've been working on are much more important to get done.

I'm really goddamn eager for some solid info on the game though. It's a CRPG by Bioware and they haven't steered us wrong with that genre yet.
