The clowns at Bioware cant even get promo styling right, a medieval fantasy setting is being advertised with neon. Im putting down 9 large that its going to suck.

porkChop785d ago

I can't say if the game will be bad but I agree that the neon seems way out of place for Dragon Age. It only works in something like Shadowrun because that's sci-fantasy.

LordoftheCritics785d ago (Edited 785d ago )

Its not typical medieval fantasy.

If you saw any of the art. Its quite unique.

Some fusion going on here.

spicelicka785d ago

have you ever seen a purple rune?

Christopher785d ago (Edited 785d ago )

That's. Not. Neon. That's just an embossed design. If you look at the full image, the text is in white and has a gradient purple/transparent drop shadow effect mixed with a very slight glow effect behind the letters. The smaller image and compression on N4G isn't what you should base your opinion on.

Nacho_Z785d ago

It's not neon? Obviously it's not literally an actual neon sign. Does it look like a neon sign? Very much so.

Christopher785d ago (Edited 785d ago )

***Does it look like a neon sign?***

No. Neon signs actually are the color of purple with a glow. This is white text with purple elements around it. Again, don't base it on the downsampled smaller image on N4G.

Daeloki784d ago

No no, he has a point, it does look like neon, even on the full image. It is however largely because of the font in combination with the colour and glow effect. It looks too "futuristic" and out of place for Dragon Age. I love the purple colour scheme, but right now it looks trash.

DOMination-784d ago

The trailer showed lots of Neon in Tevinter so I don't think this will be too out of place.

senorfartcushion784d ago (Edited 784d ago )

First thing I thought when I saw this. So desperate for that Fortnite money that they’re adding 16 million colours to ancient fantasy.

-Foxtrot784d ago

The logo kind of looks like a mobile spin off game

Yes the purple looks strange. Dreadwolf sounds like something from Warhammer 40K. Like Dreadnought crossed with Space wolves.

Still looking forward to the game. I really enjoy Dragon Age.

ManMarmalade785d ago

Looks alright to me if I'm being honest.

Daeloki784d ago

I like the colour scheme, but the font for Dreadwolf makes it look kinda cheap and out of place

Daeloki784d ago

I think it's mainly the font for Dreadwolf that's messing it up, it looks way out of place for a fantasy game. It looks marginally better when you open the full image, but still.

coolfool785d ago

Why is this in the PS5 section of N4G? Is there still a chance that it is releasing the PS5?

robtion785d ago

What do you mean? Why wouldn't it?

TricksterArrow785d ago

I guess he thinks Bioware is Bethesda. Or Activision. Oops.

Christopher785d ago

This infers a huge focus on The Fade still with the Dreadwolf being involved. I was really hoping they could move away from that as I feel it is a weak and repetitive source of content.

barom784d ago

Couldn't agree more. Think I'm done with Dragon Age. DA:Origins was one of my favorites of all time and for that reason I alone I keep giving the sequels a shot but they keep focusing on the most boring parts of the lore. DA2 with the Circle, DA:Inquisition with the Chantry (really?) and now the Fade where nothing makes sense and pretty sure not even the developers know what it is.

ikarodemon785d ago

Of course and let's forget about Andromeda and Anthem as if they didn't exist. My money you will not have.

Hikoran784d ago

And a fraction of hope/faith you need. Life's better that way.

v_eno_m784d ago

agree 200% i got burned by Anthem and seeing it still available for sale pisses me off as they know this is a dead game and will screw any future new players who buys it unknowingly

Honestly, it could be called unicorns and faeries for all i care, as long as it's a great game, whatever.

just_looken50d ago

Ha but i wonder if that anime they did on netflix that was suppose to tie DA3 to DA$ is still a thing with the new title and the main bad guy taking a back seat.

We will soon see what 11? years of dev time with all the members leaving some in a ambulance have come up with.

Will this me mass effect 4 all over again or anthem 2.0 hmmm

just_looken49d ago

I just remembered there was that anthem 2.0 update

I mentioned those 2 games because everyone has seem to forgotten ea gave bioware as a whole lots of time and money to make anthem but all that was exposed showing how bad leadership was and they actually did nothing for the majority of there time.

This dragon age already has a name change we know its been in dev hell and we know ea has been giving them lots of cash so lets hope its not like anthem or mass effect rushed out trash. Well me 4 was "decent" atleast

MajorLazer49d ago

I hope it's like DA: Origins.

sagapo49d ago

Agreed, it’s the only one I really enjoyed.

just_looken49d ago

You do realize almost everyone involved with me1 da1 is gone right?

Just put your gingers crossed it will not have live service garbage and or mt's

Heck so for 0 news of dragon age keep support

Michiel198950d ago

Dreadwolf sounds way better, also if you wanna go with this title remove "the"

Skuletor50d ago

Yeah, Dreadwolf definitely sounds better and removing "the" would be an improvement on this downgrade, lol.

Michiel198950d ago

titles aside, I just hope it's gonna be good. Don't have much faith though
If this flops I'm afraid for the future of bioware.

just_looken50d ago

Lets hope it was not changed because of a commite because Dreadwolf was too scary

Also why pink? oh boy

robtion49d ago

Dreadwolf sounds cool but it sounds like Warhammer 40K Sci-fi. Veilguard sounds more fantasy. I think it's better. Maybe it will grow on you.

victorMaje50d ago

It’s been too long. Need a release date.

Sgt_Slaughter50d ago

15 minute gameplay trailer on June 11th, so a release date can't be far behind or it'll be at the end. Probably going with a 2025 Q1 or Q2 release.

robtion49d ago

Definitely. Inquisition came out around the same time as The Witcher 3 from memory. Very excited for the new game. Just hoping it's not infected with the modern gaming issues (GaaS, SJW, etc).

Sgt_Slaughter50d ago

This game has been in development for six years dating back to 2018, and already got cancelled once before that. The budget on this thing must be huge to have been going on that long. There's no way this lives up to any expectations given the timeframe and how far BioWare fell off after Mass Effect 3.

just_looken49d ago

You and everyone has seem to forgot the anthem debacle that also included this studio also its way more than 6 years because they were making dlc for da3 that tied into this game but then that got tied into a anime.

Just remember they had a huge budget ea gave them alot of time for anthem they did nothing for years then at that e3 reveal trailer the team was like what is that game? then oh ours??? followed by 1-2 year's of rushed dev work.

They changed anthems name so soon they had those old tshirts this game already did that step lets hope its not we worked on this version for 2 year here is your anthem 2.0 as in all the issues that game had.

Is Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Suffering From Cyberpunk Syndrome?

The expectations surrounding Dragon Age: Dreadwolf can only lead to disappointment

thorstein69d ago

Nothing can compete with Origins. Inquisition wasn't bad but the decisions I made didn't really seem to make an impact since I sided with the mages. I didn't get to wipe out the religious zealots.

It just seems they're sticking with the IP in name only.

I hope I'm wrong.

Michiel198968d ago

A lot of the talent that made Origins as great as it was, has also left at this point so yeah it will probably be Dragon Age in name only.

I hope I'm wrong as well because the franchise definitely has a lot of potential.

Psychonaut8568d ago

I would say anyone who’s been paying any sort of attention for the last 5 years has extremely low expectations of this game.

JackBNimble67d ago

Well it's EA, what does anyone expect. It's probably going to MT'ed to death

Skuletor68d ago

It's EA, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if you could find a McDonald's in the game world, as part of their in-game advertisements they were considering.

Wait, I already remember seeing Burger King billboards in at least one Need for Speed on the PS2, now that I think about it.

Armaggedon67d ago

Bioware unfortunately have buckled under the weight of mismanagement and EA mandates. Apparently, EA has backed off with their live service mandates, so hopefully they had enough time to separate the live service aspect from the game. I just need Bioware to cough up one more legendary title before their run is over. However, due to the immense amount of talent they have hemorrhaged over the years, I think Inquisition was the end of the line. But hey, maybe the new Bioware will surpass the one that came before. Time will tell.

shadowknight20367d ago

Highly unlikely to hope for such a thing
