oh, haha, you are talking about the music in all the trailers (awesome trailer by the way).  yes, this is definetly the new shit. :)



I want to be excited for it but there is something not right about the trailers. I want to play a new WRPG but there is something wrong with this game. I am not sure if either this or Alpha Protocol(bad name, good concept) are going to turn out any good. Sucks that the console version of The Witcher was cancelled.

i wouldn't be worried about this game.  It's Bioware, it's going to be amazing.  Also, as annoying as the narrator is on those gameplay videos, the gameplay still looks incredible.  I've read the prequel book and the setting is awesome.  The possibilities with this game are going to be insane :)

It's made by the Bioware B-team or something since the main guys are working on Mass Effect 2. I'm not too excited for it.

I don't think there is such a thing as a Bioware B team.  I think every team they got is AAA :)

 

I think this was made by their G team.

Have you played it?  It is one of the better RPG's on the DS.  Only thing that holds it back is the fact that it's a sonic game and the characters are all incredibly cheesy.

hmmm I'm still not hyped sadly

I'm more looking forward to Risen and Arcania....HELL even Two Worlds 2


Me too actually. Or maybe it's not surprising since Two Worlds and Risen have the same type of gameplay as Oblivion.

But whats Arcania?

WHOOOOT !

Arcania - A Gothic Tale is the official Gothic 4 (publisher owns ip), while Risen is the unofficial Gothic 4 (original dev team)

here are some comparison shots, but beware the graphics are far from the final version:

Barozi can u guide me to those screens? They dont work now - 'no deep linking' ' forbidden' bla bla.

 

 

EDIT: found them. 'Vergleichsbilder' seems to mean comparison shots lol.

Interesting about this 'double Gothic' thing due to nameing rights (like Far Cry 2 vs Crysis, Operation Flashpoint vs Arma, F.E.A.R. vs canceled/merged Project Origin etc). Both look very similar. Both have nice looking environments.

 

That German PC site seems gold BTW, lots of info about European games that I havent seen elsewhere. But it's all in German. :/

I had a bad experience with there previous game, Mass Effect.  The storytelling was great but the technical issues and frustating combat system was a turn off.  The PC version was a llittle better from what I played of it but my computer broke and had to get a new one.  I tried to play it again but the new computer had serious trouble running it.  That experience is kind of souring Dragon Age as well as BioWare in general.
