They're cutting it really close on the lack of information. I wonder if we'll just have a flood-gate and be drowned in information when they do unveil the game.

Yeah. The issue with say, having a massive info dump right around E3 is that there is a good chance people paying attention to video games then simply won't absorb all of the DA info they're releasing cause their attention will be split amongst the new hardware and the other new IPs and new nextgen games. It might just be a matter of logistics and the volume of info being released around E3 is such that people do just drown in information about DA3 but other interesting games and hardware too. To the extent that even a good looking game like maybe DA3 ends up getting short shrift.

They announced DA3 last year. They just haven't "unveiled" it yet. And yes, EA does have a say in when games they are paying for get announced/revealed and how they are marketed.

It was my impression that DA3 was only announced last year because the leaked surveys basically forced BioWare/EA's hand into saying something. If they had their way I don't think they'd have said anything at all.

Why would Microsoft pay EA to have a teaser of a cross-platform game take time away from exclusive and larger NextBox titles?
It makes no sense.

The question would be whether EA keeps DA multiplatform. Its likely a 99% chance it will, but EA is publishing Respawn's new game which is supposedly being locked down by Microsoft as an exclusive. That ties in to other rumors of EA and MS having some kind of exclusivity partnership. And with the news today of EA locking down exclusive rights to all Star Wars games plus their NFL exclusivity deal, EA is fond of exclusive deals. It may just be exclusive DLC or something since I really doubt even EA would try to make DA platform exclusive, but I wouldn't be shocked either.

The Sims 4?! Surely there isn't much else that can be done with that franchise, they must've covered almost everything by now.

Hahaha I remember being obsessed with The Sims when I was a kid, my childhood self would have been bouncing off the walls for this news. Now only DA3 can do that to my grown up self...

Gaider said they announced before they had planned to ease possible worry the Doctors' departure may have caused. I think it was a combination of the two though.

EA likes license exclusivity. It's a different thing entirely. They love having exclusive rights to IPs because they get to be the only game in town. Being restricted to one console just means reduced sales, and considering their current financial troubles and new management they can't afford console exclusivity.

I've never heard of a series going from multi-platform to a platform exclusive. Not to say it has never happened... but it certainly hasn't happened often. Such a move would be bold... and incredibly risky. And possibly not at all worth the rage that would happen because of it.

[Knight of Dane]

I think there was a big outcry when Bayonetta 2 turned out to be Wii U exclusive.

Halo and GoW went platform exclusive after the first game.

I HIGHLY doubt Bioware would do that. 
I know I wouldn't be buying a console system. There's just no way I would do that, as much as I love DA. It would just be incredibly stupid on their part to cut off 2/3 of their fan base.

I'm not going to lie, I still love The Sims and am interested and seeing what Sims 4 can bring.

DA2 they announced in the summer (June-ish) and released the following Spring, and that was a pretty tight schedule they ran on. We're getting pretty close to the same time period now so I really doubt it'll be released before Spring to be honest. Based on the precedent of a whole one game, very scientific reasoning I know.

Yeah, DA2 was unveiled via Game Informer article in July 2010, then they had the CG trailer in late August at Gamescom, then not until October/November they had an in engine trailer, followed up by the first glimpse of gameplay in December, demo in February and game shipped in March.

So that's about 8 full months of marketing from unveil to ship. If EA/BioWare unveils at E3, then to November that's only about 5 months.

I don't know. I guess if they have more to show right out of the gate, they can use a more condensed marketing phase if they're actually showing the game off throughout that whole period of time. As opposed to DA2 where they really didn't show off any meaningful gameplay until about 3 months before release.

But at this stage I really wouldn't be at all surprised if it gets released in March 2014.

Both contributed. At this point it was one of those "worst kept secrets" sort of thing (the DA2 Game Owner Board was pretty much discussing it anyways), and the news of Ray and Greg leaving would have just left the boards in even more disarray.

today is the day boys and girls, the day the next game informer cover is revealed. The day we find out if we actually still have to wait another month, or if we all pee ourselves with satisfaction!

I must have missed it, how do you know that the new Game Informer cover will be revealed today?

[ElitePinecone]

I think it's on a regular day every month (the first Tuesday? not sure) but regardless the magazine's editor-in-chief mentioned it yesterday.

[Fredvdp]

With ME2 and ME3, BioWare revealed the first teaser a year before the anounced release date (though ME3 was eventually delayed from Christmas to March). I think the lack of DA3 info means they're waiting for the new Xbox reveal, so they can immediately announce DA3 for that platform.

[ElitePinecone]

Sounding likely that the GI cover reveal will not be DA3.

"an unannounced next-gen title from a major publisher"

Edit: The same journalist also says it's not Fallout 4, and the story is in a unique format.

Unless under embargo, Game Informer covers get released every, less or more, the 1st Tuesday of a month.

It also supposed to have more than 20 pages. I don't know a lots of games that can provide that much content for a cover story.

Oh and the unannounced, I think they mean unrevealed. It makes no sense to have a 20+ cover story on something that have no buzz.

[Fast Jimmy]

20+ pages?

o_O

[InfinitePaths]

Well there must be so much information and screenshots and art for DA3.And we only got 3 artworks.I think when DA3 is revealed we will have too much information.More than 20+ pages.

well even if its not DA3 it does sound promising

[Mornmagor]

20 pages long?

I don't think it will be about DA3.

I doubt they would just announce everything now, and if they would, i don't know if it would cover 20+ pages, unless more than half were artwork.
