BioWare Teases New Game
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
So desert = post-apocalyptic wasteland, now?
Someone alert New Mexico about this.
OT: I thought teaser pics are supposed to make people excited about a game, rather than utterly confused.

First, Dragon Age 2 wasn't even close to abysmal. Second, I guarantee that BioWare will at least make Dragon Age 3 before deciding the franchise is "dead".radioactive lemur said:

I guess the politically correct term would be 'fanperson'.
Lol @ the usual forum shenanigans. One group of people doing what should be expected of them, like say... figuring out what the image is, maybe giving their thoughts on it and what it could possibly be. Who knows, maybe a real discussion might ensue.
Then you have the other group, the group that thinks they're being mature by berating people and making quips about people saying "Hey, this image does nothing for me." Oh man, it's lulzy. I mean it's not like Bioware could have released the image to try and generate hype or something right? Maybe to get people to tune in and see what it could possibly be? I'd say they failed at that point if many of the posters here and elsewhere on the internets are essentially calling it boring and meh.

Judging from the image... fuck, there isnt enough to go on to even say what it is, than alone if it will fail or not.

All I could think of when I saw that guy was Brink...perhaps EA wants Bioware to make them an FPS or something...
People... chill the hell out.
Allow me to make an analysis of the picture.
First off, I see no post-apoc. Just because there's dirt, it doesn't mean the world has ended. The heavy light reflections give more of a desert vibe, and yes, the man's dark skintone suggests africa, or libya, if you care for a straight name.
Next, with the obvious, the guy's clothes are too clean to suggest post-apoc. It generally means the end of our social way of life if that were to happen, and it appears laundry it just one of those things. True, there's the ammo bandoleer and headband, suggesting he's part of some people's militia or rebel gang, but it doesn't look like he's some jackass. He apparently cares for his appearance.
Thirdly, that's not a collision. The truck on the ground is merely behind the smoke and heat distortion. It's not jostled, it looks unshaken, and still well maintained. That's some gear mounted in the truck bed though, so this goes on to somewhat strengthen the combat proficiency that the man may have. It doesn't look manned.
As for the poor truck that's gone airborne, it's pointing the wrong way for it to be a head on collision. The doors are facing the other way, protip for you all. Yes, the vehicle's paint seems to be wearing, but there appears to be something added to the vehicle, whatever that long, bolted on thing is, I'm afraid I can't identify it, but it seems to be in good repair... well, before this incident. I believe maybe artillery or something along those lines, like a bomb, were dropped on the back.
Now it gets interesting, because... why is the man facing the wrong way on the vehicle? That's... curious. I don't think you'd spin x-wise from an explosion, you'd just go flying. Maybe he was catapulted from the truck, or maybe the poor sap was the target of multiple bombardments, the angle is a bit weird, is all, and he was close enough to one to go flying, but not in the lethal range.
But the absolute WEIRDEST thing about this image I can see is...
How... is the guy's leg on fire?

Looking at it closer... the distortions are actually in... bubbles.
Doesn't look like heat distortions, that's usually a wavy sort of thing. It's also why the car looks kinda shredded here and there.
Suddenly, this is feeling pretty sci-fi to me.

OH MY GOD MY FAITH IN BIOWARE IS LOST FOREVER BECAUSE OF A SINGLE IMAGE THAT TELLS ME NOTHING ABOUT THE GAME!
Wow, that's hilariously pathetic. How the hell can you know that's not just a shot from an intro cinematic, which takes place in a desert or whatever? You assume too much.
I'm going to assume it's a video game. Let's see if my hopes are fulfilled!

I get the feeling people are just upset Bioware isnt giving them the game they want anymore (or they made a game that was less than perfect and all of a sudden its blasphemy)
because I dont know what it is is, but right now no other game company seems to get so much hate
and for fucks sakes its a fucking picture not a fucking game, why is evertone being so unreasonable?

I'm calling it right now, it's going to be a Bioware version of Death Race!! Or maybe a RAGE knock off... or their attempt at a shooter.... No! It has to be a car combat game, just like Twisted Me- wait a minute! @[email protected] the hell, Bioware?
dont forget the anything vaugley resbelming post apocalyptic or desert (and you know "vaugly" being the key word here) is just BAD on an objective level..subjectivity has nothing to do with itinzesky said:
never mind that taking often used and "cliche" settings (high fantasy/sci fi) and doing them well has always been bioware's thing
would people be flipping out if it was fantasy or "non post apocalyptic sci fi"? no becuase as gamers with "superior" opiniond we HAVE to hate anything brown or desert like and less than hardcore RPG
