Spike Reveals Gameplay Video of BioWare's Next Game
You've probably heard that BioWare is hard at work on a new game that will be unveiled at the 2011 screenshot [http://vga.spike.com] was released with last week's announcement of the forthcoming announcement, but now we have something a whole lot meatier: a gameplay video clip.
Oh, who am I kidding? It's two seconds of gameplay buried inside a 24-second VGAs ad, hardly better than the image of some idiot sprinting down an invisible vertical wall. But here's something that is: speculation posted on Mercenaries [http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=32498690&postcount=281] series.
Here's the reasoning:
Visceral Los Angeles is no more, apparently as evidenced by its absence from the list of studios on the Visceral careers page [http://www.visceralgames.com/careers].
Visceral Los Angeles was formed from the remains of Pandemic Studios, which at one point was part of BioWare.
Visceral Los Angeles, and Pandemic before it [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/96344-Pandemic-Had-Multiplayer-Mercenaries-in-the-Works], was working on Mercs Inc. before it became a Frostbite 2 game.
"Conceptually," Mercs Inc., as seen in this YouTube video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNwRYU6xrJ8], looked very similar to the brief flash of footage shown in this VGAs ad.
Will BioWare serve up some open-world military mayhem in its next game? This is the kind of speculation that I can really get behind: thoroughly researched by someone else. And although the video is admittedly a joke by any measure, at least this demonstrates that it's not necessarily entirely useless - which is more than you can say about the VGAs.
