Bioware never has release dates really, it's EA's business model to have them, so Bio had to come with some release date. And now it's "moved". Well, I can wait, my computer's not up to the task anyway, and I'm not buying anything new soon.

lol @ arathorn's dinosaur computer. What's your frame rate in minesweeper?

:p Personally I wasn't all that hyped up about Dragon Age yet, so whatever, I can deal. Maybe it'll be MEGA-AWESOME! Or maybe it'll just suck. Only time will tell.

Yes, but time will tell later.

bunch of new screens, look incredible (in terms of design and atmosphere I mean). Have a quick browse through the slideshow.

/me tries not to think of huge delay

SecuROM dropped, Hoooray for the bright future.

oh, well now that is excellent news. I'm still pissed about GTA IV. Nice to see some companies are starting to wise up.

Other DA news: old logo dropped, new one adopted. Check it out on top of the page...not exactly an improvement if you ask me. Blood stains are...well...blood stains.

I don't think I would've even noticed.

I'm sure you'll notice this :

violence trailer

...wow. Just wow. One part of me is saying, cool, gore and shit fits well in the 'dark fantasy' setting they wanted to create. It's decidely gonna be an adult game (cfr sex scene too), judging by those images.

On the other hand...is this the 'spiritual successor to BG' it's being marketed as?! The sheer overload of blood in that trailer (some characters are literally drenched in it), combined with the music, smells an awful lot like an attempt to appeal to the console crowd.

Gah. At least The Old Republic won't appear on a console. *prays*

I really laughed at this comment:

I particularly was excited by this:


I think this game will be invading Shiny's dreams.

Oh, also there was this:


Yay...a game that was built for PC first instead of the other way around. Stupid consoles and their lame ass interfaces.

Yea, Mass Effect was exactly the opposite, developed for consoles and optimized for the pc. Without having played the pc version i cant really comment more on it though.

Yea, I played the console version of ME as well, no clue how the pc port went. I'm just tired of basically getting console hand-me-downs on the PC. It's nice to see things go the other way. In my experience, it's much easier to build something more capable (pc) and then scale it down (to the console) then the other way around.

Perhaps that is the reason behind such a move. But then again, its not such a wise move without prior experience with the consoles. ME was that experience for Bioware. I think that devs are more concerned about console version because that will bring in more money.

Oh geez, I remember those damn circles under people in my dreams. Seriously, like Satis would be in my dream but with a green circle at the feet.

But then again that was back when Satis and I would play Baldur's gate for like 10 hours at a time. We would eat those sour trolly worms til our tongues were sore.

What times /sigh. That was like OMG 8 years or more now?
