If you’ve been reading my last few posts you know I am a huge fan of RPGs and my favorites come from Bioware. To the point that Mass Effect 2 is my favorite game and the remake of that trilogy is something I enjoy going back to. Now the recent announcement of yet another name change for the forth Dragon Age game doesn’t worry me what does though is the announcement itself. This game is releasing later this year in the fall timeframe and it would be nice to see some progress. There have been several cinematic trailers for this game and not a single gameplay trailer to show mechanics and the game itself I don’t know why they made a trailer to announce both the release and the gameplay premiere on July 11 when they could have just given us a gameplay trailer then the release date. Also I don’t think anyone is expecting this game to be as good as Dragon Age games prior. Casey Hudson the original writer and several others left the studio a few years ago, but I was hoping for a more simplified game in the same spirit of Dragon Age. The recent trailer does show off the Companions that will show up and while I was happy for some news not seeing gameplay this late into development and with a fall release date is a red flag that maybe this game isn’t going to be good. I don’t mind showing the companions in a trailer for the game Inquisition did the same thing, but where Inquisition shined in this is you were able to see the various abilities and each Companion was given more than a few seconds to show what they could do. Here Varric returns as a voice over and each one is given a sentence before you can figure out what is really going on. Everything feels rushed with this trailer and the worst part is we still don’t know anything about the game.
