Seeing as DAO was a PC game. If they left the PC crowd out of a Demo they would be begging these forums to be over run by the PC elitist fanboys and girls.


Not so. We pc elitists are patient. I can easily wait another month. No need to gnash my teeth and hop around like a mad ape.


Dude I don't know about you. But if this is console only I will throw such a hissy fit you wouldn't even imagine. I would stomp my feat, type in all caps, maybe even sulk in a dark corner for an hour or two. No amount of hugs will be able to calm me down. 


haha if that happens can I come over and watch?Posted Image


Only if you bring over a 360 so I can short circuit it with my tears.

Somehow I don't think they would have givin us the date for a Demo in Awakening.  More likely at that point that was the March 8th of that time.

Uh. All that rationality and such an awful lack of silliness. Spank you. Spank you very much.

I predict Dragon companions in DA2. With as much slobbery dopeyness as Barkspawn.


And the Dragon companion is the gay LI.  It will be in the Demo.  You can quote me on  that.

Speak for yourself. I will RageFace all over these forums if a demo or dlc goes console only!


I wouldn't exactly say that stating the truth would be "elitist." Simply put, DAO was a much better game for the PC than it was for the consoles. From most accounts, the console controls weren't exactly intuitive, and the graphical display capabilities of PC vs consoles is a no-contest, especially with the new DX 11 coming out. Consequently, I think it's safe to say, that at least half the Dragon Age fanbase consists of PC gamers. With that said, it simply doesn't make sense to release a demo that excludes the PC platform. (Not to start another consoles vs PC war or anything).


As someone who used to game solely on XBox 360 I will step up and agree here, it wasn't until I tried DA:O on PC that I realized just how craptastic it was on console.  The gameplay is much more entertaining and the graphics are leagues better...just personal observation.:whistle:

C'MON DEV CONFIRM!

Ahem... topic... um...I've got nothing.

In terms of PC, I wonder if any modders will be able to crack this apparent demo before game release. ("Crack" in terms of "figure out", or "Get into" whether it is with the toolset or something else. Not the other one you dirty pirates.) If so will that speed up DAII mods?

I think the greatest sign of hope is that Gaider didn't say 'there is no demo.'


Gaider's hunting Grizzly bears in northern Canada with a pocket knife and bailing twine. He should be back from the hunt tomorrow.

Poor Bioware if the Ea site messed up. Whatever else they announce is hardly going to be as exciting as "DEMO!"

We don't have Grizzly bears in Canada silly, we have Polar bears that we harness and ride to and from work.

We do hunt penguins though.

I'd love to play the computer version.

But I highly doubt that is not a hoax. The lust for a DA2 demo is mainstream now (lol), and gamer hoaxes are common.

Pretty epic if this is a hoax, I mean, it showed up in multiple LANGUAGES. Not to mention that there are several members who posted in this very thread about getting said email.

We've been over this. The images link back to EA.com domain. You can view the newsletter in a browser, the URL is a couple pages ago in this thread. It's as legit as it can be without an official nod.

How often does David come in and tell us not to get worked up over nothing, or explains to us the many ways that errors we come across aren't true rumors? It wouldn't make sense to say 'keep talking,' when he could have easily said 'fake as hell'.

He just doesn't want an official confirmation spoiling their official reveal. Which is good. It's better to be surprised with these kinds of things.

It's not a hoax kiddies it's a PR screwup.

Well, while I agree that this is likely NOT a hoax, using Gaider as an example is not a good idea. He could just be buttering us up so he can squeeze moar precious tears out of us later, I mean, he does live off them after all.

This. Ignorance is bliss, so if you don't know what you're missing, then playing it on the console is perfectly tolerable. Otherwise it becomes clear pretty quickly that the PC version was miles ahead.

Alright, repost for the latecomers. Feel free to right click the image and look at the properties to see where it's being linked from, it's EA.com

Tell me again how this possibly could be a hoax? a few pages back there's a direct link to this news on the EA.COM servers?

Maybe DA2 itself is a hoax.
