BioWare Has An "Exciting Announcement" About Dragon Age For PS3

What's this?! An announcement about an announcement? You have my interest, BioWare, and I greatly look forward to whatever "exciting announcement" you may have planned in regards to the PlayStation 3 version of your upcoming video game Dragon Age: Origins!

[Neurotoxin]

Yay it`ll be released with the other Formats.... Wooo Hooo aren`t we lucky.

[Dragun619]

I predict that its either

One, they moved the release date back to November 3

Two, Time Exclusive DLC/ Bonus Content

Three, A Dragon Age Home space and I really hope that it's not a Home space.

Four, Mouse/Keyboard support

And Finally five, a demo.

Though I'm just gonna keep my expectations low and believe that it will be a Dragon Age Home Space with features that connects to the game.

[gaffyh]

Most likely the "exciting" news is that the game will be coming to PS3 same date as PC and Xbox versions. Because at the moment it is coming 3 weeks later.

[Darkstorn]

It's probably a Home space. It would be nice if they moved it up or had timed DLC, but that's too much to ask.

[UnSelf]

Bungie annouced Halo 4 for ps3 exclusive?

[Nihilism]

i'm gonnna go ahead and assume that the announcement is that the 'blood dragon armour' in Dragon Age for ps3, will also be usable... in Mass Effect 2 for the ps3

@skittle's, no you do not, but you also don't have crysis, and your getting crysis 2, just so you know i don't own a ps3, so this isn't some fanboy statement, i'm sure mass effect 2 is coming to ps3, bioware have been very coy about it.

@z-hayden

so do I, mass effect was an awesome game, if me2 comes to ps3 then all the better for ps3 owners

[LtSkittles]

@Bubble Bioware =/= Bungie

@dchalfont I don't think so, because do we have Mass Effect 1?

Edit, That's not the point I was making. I thought Mass Effect was supposed to be a trilogy, and not having the first one would makes no sense whatsoever. It's like showing two groups of people the first movie of a trilogy where watching the second one w/out having seen the first part would make no sense. If you know what I mean.

[SnuggleBandit]

i hope you are right dchalfront, i hope you are right

[JoeRated]

i think, and i got but all this talk that Mass Effect 2 coming to ps3. i feel part one i going to be on Dragon Age, two games in one cd. and mass effect 2 coming to ps3. i think but hey it might not happen, but it be a smart move if they do

[Alcon]

I really hope its the mouse/keyboard support

[Nihilism]

if me1 comes to ps3, i doubt it would be free, can you image how insane everyone would go?, people that payed up to $99 for it (games are not $50 everywhere in the world) and then it's free to ps3 owners...

[Persistantthug]

But I'd rather have the 2 week later release date if they put in Mouse and Keyboard support for the PS3.

Developers are totally wasting that opportunity on PS3 games.

[whothedog]

*Announcement*

"Hey all you Dragon Age fans out there, I got a special announcement for you! Tomorrow, we will have a special announcement for Dragon Age!"

[cyberwaffles]

includes mass effect 1 on the disc? nah, highly doubt it. bioware and EA wouldn't do that. hopefully its exciting and not something lame.

also, notice how kotaku try so hard to make the "exciting announcement" sound mundane and nothing special.

"Now to ponder. What could they be announcing this late in the pre-release hype cycle? Is the PlayStation 3 version un-delayed, moved up a fortnight to release alongside its PC and Xbox 360 brethren? Will there be a Dragon Age: Origins Home space? Who knows?

Crap. It's probably a Home space, isn't it? Guess I'll find out at the PlayStation.blog of my chosen region this Friday..."

a game releasing at the same time as the other system release dates is not exciting and the writer knows how underwhelming the Home spaces are since you have to pay for them. how come every article they do, they always try to do some stealth derailment on something?

[Tony P]

I'm thinking mods. They talked that up a bit a while ago how they'd like to get some kind of user mod download going on PS3 since 360 is out of the question.

[Parapraxis]

Dragon Age: Origins slaying PS3 on November 17

by David Hinkle { Oct 22nd 2009 at 6:30PM }
"Today, Joystiq can officially confirm November 17 as the date for the PS3 version of Dragon Age: Origins. When asked what has caused the minor delay, Silverman told us Bioware "wanted more time to get [the] PS3 [version] to 'Bioware standards.'""
http://www.joystiq.com/2009...

[RememberThe357]

That would be a HUGE announcement.

I'm thinking either what Tony P said above about mods, they move the release date up, or they tell us what the PS3 version is getting instead of the bonus armor that is supposed to go with Mass Effect 2.

But, you never know with Bioware. They could be announcing that they love the PS3 version and that we all should buy it when it comes out.

Aw, crap... It's probably a Home space!

[cmrbe]

They will never announce ME2 or ME1 before ME2 is release on the x360.

I need to relay ME1 again to really get an idea why PS3 fans want it so much because i just don't see what the big deal is with ME1.

Can't we just leave this franchise for the x360 folks. Don't we already have enough exclusives on the PS3 already?. Don't you guy have PC's?.

[LtSkittles]

@cmrbe

That's not the point. People want to be right about Mass Effect coming to the PS3, because EA owns Bioware who owns Mass Effect, and EA is more of a multi-platform-system company.

Edit

@Below If it goes PS3 yay, but if it doesn't I could careless. You should see some of the responses on the Mass Effect forums, because of this rumor. I saw one where the guy said if it did go he would drop all support for Bioware I mean it's kind of pathetic on both sides.

[The 1]

Stop making up sh*t and you won't put yourselves through this every other week. How many times do the developers have to say it's not coming to PS3?

If I were Bioware and EA I would say as little as possible because the more they say it is not coming to PS3 the more trouble they get into. You guys are trying to force them to flat out say hell no it's not coming to PS3. Once that happens SDF would crush the game before it even releases. The bash fest would never end Sony websites and Sony supporters would give the game a very hard time in reviews.

What makes you think they would even announce something like that tomorrow? Why would you think they would even talk about that before the 360 version even released?

Teh Cell would melt and PS3 would flash yellow lights trying to run ME1.

[cmrbe]

then there is no reason for multi consoles. I don't want that.

However, i am pretty sure ME will eventually get ported to the PS3. I blame MS for being idiots and not buying Bioware to build up their first party which is lacking.

[LtSkittles]

@The 1

I'm so glad that you've played Mass Effect on the PS3, and know the disadvantages of the game on PS3, and I will stick to not buying it at all. Thank you for doing this for me, and tell me also how other games that are not PS3,and how they will run. Oh Faithful one.

[Noctis Aftermath]

I have 3 things i think it will be.

1 - Dragon Age: Origins dynamic theme.

2 - Release date moved forward, possibly to the same as other versions.

3 - Bonus content for having to wait longer (ie; slaves broken stick of poking)

PS: Mass Effect can easily come out on PS3, i'll show you how.

Mass Effect Stigma
Mass Effect Stigma 2
Mass Effect Stigma 3

[cmrbe]

You suck!!.

[Parapraxis]

Wow, I can't believe people disagreed with my post ^.
The date isn't changing. Bioware confirmed it TODAY.

[Foliage]

A positive PS3 article on Kotaku?

Did they take their usual jab that has to follow anything positive about the PS3?

Yup, they sure did. First they mention how the PS3 version was supposedly delayed, and then they bag on Home. Kotaku is so predictable it isn't even funny any more.

[TheLog]

This game dosent appeal to me anymore after seeing the combat gameplay. The Witcher 2 kicks this game ass in every department, although i dun think we'll see it anytime soon.

[DaTruth]

Forget their announcement and just get Demon's Souls! The vids look kinda crap for this game(not saying the gameplay will be bad).

Has anyone noticed how we don't dump on Mass Effect the way 360 fanboys dumped on MGS4 when they wanted it and started rumours everyday. PS3 owners just say it's a great game and we would want it... without the 10 min elevator rides.

[sikbeta]

That is because we are real gamers, not just whiners

[Ravage27]

I played ME1 about a year ago on my laptop and i honestly didn't find it all that special. Don't get me wrong, it's a fine game but i rather be playing Fallout 3 if you get what i mean. The 'innovative' branching dialogue did not impress me and the cover system is pretty flawed. Selecting abilities can be a pain, and overall it is just lacking the sort of charm that makes FO3 so appealing.

This is just my opinion but i'd much rather Bioware do a DragonAge 2 than ME2.

[frostypants]

I just want this game to come out already. On the PS3 it is going to be constantly compared, fair or not, to Demon's Souls. I hope there's enough to substantially differentiate it (but knowing Bioware, there will). Man this fall is kicking so much ass for games.

@1.33: Yes, any PS3 owner interested in RPGs or Castlevania-type games has NO EXCUSE for not tracking down a copy of Demon's Souls. Still, I think/hope this might be worth owning...in addition to DS of course.

[GameGambits]

I'm almost 99% sure it is Mass Effect 2 for the PS3. The reason is on the Playstation store now there are 3 Dragon Age Origins trailers. One of them at the end says if you buy Dragon Age you get a certain armor useable for both Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2. Now... how can PS3 owners use something for Mass Effect 2 if it isn't announced for it?

I'm sure it'll be either a month later or who knows maybe same day, but it IS going to the PS3. The proof is on the Playstation store and in that trailer.

[Neurotoxin]

I should read tarot cards..... although tbf it was obvious.

[AznSniper]

Mass Effect for PS3 included with Dragon Age: Origins Blu-ray Disc?

[Demonzu Souru]

Alrighty then.

Probably some armor from a popular PlayStation game.

[TheBand1t]

What armor is that though? I can only think of the Helghast when it comes to armor. Or the armor some of the Chimera wear.

[RememberThe357]

is the only armor that I would want in Dragon Age.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

2 possibilities:

1.Mass effect 1 finally confirmed for PS3, demo included with Dragon Age

2.We get Timed-Exclusive DLC first.

[Demonzu Souru]

Are you guys even reading, at all?

[Darkstorn]

That would be awesome, but unfortunately I doubt it.

[Wolfie]

OMG I'm excited :D

[TheHater]

probably a demo. Don't get your hopes up guys.

[Bumpmapping]

Trailer announcement for Mass Effect 2 on PS3.

[kissmeimgreek]

cuz hats definitely possible. a mass effect 2 announcement from a dragon age announcement? yall make me laugh

[Saaking]

Bioshock 2 was announced through the PS3 version of Bioshock. It's not impossible.

[Saaking]

Whatever it is, it'll make the bots cry.

[chrisulloa]

Yay, Home space for PS3! So excited.

[devilhunterx]

sigh, Dragon Age Homespace incoming

[Kouzmich]

I hope it's regarding user generated content. Maybe something like in UTIII , where you cook the mod on PC for PS3, then import it with USB key.

[TheBand1t]

Yes. This.

[Jamescagney]

It will take quite an improvement to play this on my ps3, no offence but this baby is destined for my pc. But I will keep an open mind.

[Towers76]

Given Bioware's PC/360 roots exclusive DLC makes zero sense for them. I do like what one of the posters above wrote about mouse and keyboard support. That would be great if it were true. And since we're talking pipe dreams how about an animated theme with Morrigan dropping that slinky dress she's got on and transforming into a spider and then leaping right at the screen.

[Alcohog]

CoOp exclusive to PS3. Haha.

[skeletonss]

its just bonus content for the ps3 version since they dont get all the stuff that the xbox 360 version gets due to mass effect 2 only being on the 360. even if it is just for now.

[Saaking]

So ME2 on the PC doesn't exist? LMAO. You fail.

[skeletonss]

ps3 and the xbox idiot.

[Saaking]

so the PC magically disappears when comparing PS3 and 360? I don't get your logic.

[Panthers]

FINISH STAR WARS TOR!

[ngg12345]

Trailer of mass effect 2 unlockable in the game.

[skeletonss]

bum mapping is a winey brat who messages people and then blocks them : p

ya didnt message me after he said it was stayign on 360 ya sh!t did ya haha

[Bumpmapping]

Who said it was staying on the 360 you?

You delusional bot seriously you messaged me crying over my post.I def hit a nerve with you always follow me around your like a stalker.

[Guitarded]

They're the kind of people that would hit you from behind then run away. I've had several of these punks PM me then block me because they know they're going to get schooled. Have you met Juuken/Ultimolu yet? She's a real piece of work.

On topic: Announcing an announcement is ridiculous.

[Sigh]

if it is, for me I'd be disappointed cause coincidentally, I tried going back to Home last night, downloading the new update, and it suddenly froze when it was "initializing". I really wanna see how Home works and looks now but it aint signing in for unknown reasons, for now I guess. I'll try again later today.

[kerrak]

You have to reinstall Home (Home Icon/Triangle/Delete). At some point you will be given the choice of a 3, 5, 8 or 12 GB install (original install was 3 GB). According to some users, selecting 8 GB eliminates the problem. Others simply reinstall and select 3 GB and they are fine.

[thebudgetgamer]

:( have fun 360 owners.

[TheBand1t]

Well as someone said in the gamer zone, I believe Bioware was looking into user-created mods like the PC version for the PS3.

So....yea. That'd be a major win for me.

[thebudgetgamer]

i just have a lot of respect for bioware and i will always purchase their games if i am able.

[BYE]

Fine, why don't they tell us right now?

Announcing announcements has become too popular this gen.

[skeletonss]

a few of you ps3 trolls really ruin it for the good ps3 dudes.

[JD_Shadow]

How are these so-called "trolls" doing THAT?

[Jamescagney]

I think it involves a frisby and a personal message printed on the frisbee.

What...are you not feeling this?

[TheBand1t]

It's probably mods like someone else said.

If that's true, this game just bumped up to #1 in my priority list this holiday season.

Free mods FTW!

[CobraKai]

built in Wand support? Prolly a home space.

[Noob]

Something tells me it's not going to be anything too big(ME announcement). No point in setting yourself up for disappointment. Mods would definitely interest me in the PS3 version and I have no idea with this game is or about, lol. I loved using mods in UT3 on PS3. It worked really well IMO. I hope it's not something small like mouse and keyboard support, which is cool but nothing to really get excited about.

[LtSkittles]

If it was a ME announcement I think it would be somewhere along the lines of epic Bioware announcement tomorrow, but then again the author of the post doesn't know what it will be, and neither do we, other than a hint at a personal space in Home. Like I said earlier "If it does yay, but if it doesn't then I could careless."

[psiom]

Dragon Age needs multiplayer.

[Tex117]

Bioware: We are actually not giving Ps3 oweners some crummy buggy multiplat of an Xbox PC game!

That would be pretty big. I really hope this game doesn't suck.

[TheLog]

The Witcher 2 kicks this game ass in every department, although i dun think we'll see it anytime soon.

[beardpapa]

I'm really gonna have to pick up Dragon Age on the PS3. I've been torn apart between this or ME2 next year, and this being a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate... i'm even more torn apart.

But after reading there's no multiplayer, that was quite a shock since BG and IWD both had multiplayer. Not to mention the whole 3 class 3 race is a huge turn off. =T

Where's my old Bioware Black Isle? I miss you guys.

[Mr_Luke]

My predictions:

1) Multiplayer online (co-op or whatever) exclusive for PS3

or

2) Exclusive DLC / Home space.

I really hope it's not the Home Space, since i wouldn't care at all, when they announce something for a game i want that "thing" FOR and INSIDE the game

[Sheikah]

I'll cry a little, if it's another f**%ing homeroom!

Fingers crossed for synchronized release-dates, albeit it is a little LATE to announce that, in terms of reorganizing tertiary sectors >_<

My bet is DLC as compensation, which isn't all that bad either ^^

[viderian]

I hope it is free user-generated mods and mouse and keyboard support.

[Raoh]

I'll take user generated content and servers any day.

can't believe more developers arent doing more with this after how well it works with:

unreal tournament 3 = user created content created on a pc and shared to the ps3

burnout paradise = ability to upload your save file to the internet and have a new map created for you of things you have not accomplished in burnout.

ability to host your own server on the ps3.

[housegroove76]

Im hoping they will allow PC created mods to be imported in like Epic did with UT3. That would kick major a$$

[LtSkittles]

It's launching with the 360/PC version

[Ggame]

hey! I downloaded a Dragon Age trailer from PlayStaton Store it showed Mass Effect 2.
Is this an (early) announcement that Mass Effect 2 coming to PS3 as well??

ps. i hope that
