I took the "some" information comment to mean that they'd start slowly revealing little bits and pieces gradually from E3 onwards.

They said that as soon as they reveal we would be blown away... it would hurt their credibility if they don't show more than tidbits...

Showing one area with shiny graphics is enough to blow people away. They don't have to detail the entire plot, companions, place we get to visit, etc to achieve that.

Really, in the end a game reveal doesn't show more than the core of a game and I don't expect anything more than that at E3.

Shiny graphics won't blow me away. In the least.

I don't need plot, locations or companions, but I am going to need to see pretty detailed combat demonstrations, detailed speech mechanisms, detailed inventory proof of concepts and things like ambient interactions or world reactivity.

If we just see an area that has clouds, sunshine, rain and snow and then they show how you can change someone's hair style, I'm going to be very stone faced and say "What else you got?"

Considering the devs' joy in torturing us, that could have been a sardonic "some".

8 dialogue choices for each interaction? I'd take that for an extra fifty bones, more than likely.

Uhm...on the other hand getting a peek in what has been done with the new engine would be really nice in the graphics department....

Still, some of the other things you mentioned should be there too; to see where they are heading with some things that they said they would change from how they did it in DA2. A tip of the veil to see what they came up with so far and end some speculation would be great.

Who said they did? Arguing the extreme doesn't make for a good discussion.

Except they've been saying for months that the reveal is going to be substantive and will blow us away. A standard reveal isn't that. And quite frankly, whether you agree or not, BioWare has something to prove. DA2 was not received very well and ME3 caused a massive ****storm. Inquisition has to deliver the goods.

I thought this thread was to record staff tweets? You can create other threads to discuss topic you think relate to the game that are not twitter related. It'd be a shame to close this if it remains off topic.

According to Mike Laidlaw's twitter the team have been working on this E3 reveal and "kicking some serious butt" - not that it counts for much until we've seen it for ourselves, but in theory the reveal should give us something half decent.

Still, I guess we'll find out soon enough.

This discussion flowed naturally from a dev tweet about the reveal of the game. Are we only supposed to paste tweets here and look at the pretty words they contain?

It was my understanding that this thread also allowed for the commenting and speculation of said Tweets? That's the way the ME counterpart thread worked. 

[serenai]

He may have missed the post with that particular tweet.

And someone above has edited their post out.. may have been a truly-off-topic-something that Mr. Priestly was responding to. Just a thought.

[Chris Priestly]

There was an image I deleted from a post that was blatantly off topic and borderline offensive. It was a reminder to everyone, but especially that person, to stay on topic.

You can stop being defensive now and go back to discussing twitter Lady Macbeth.

So Chris is both reprimanding us and trolling us..great

[Spedfrom]

From the tweets, it's now clearer than ever that the game is absolutely not coming out in 2013. Seeing as it's using Frostbite 3, it's a next-gen game. And we all know that when gens at first start out, the amount of possible customers is rather limited, especially for a series such as Dragon Age that has taken a tumble in its brand image. They do need the refresh that a new generation allows, but they also need a significant possible buying audience.

I'm guessing BioWare will wait until 2014 when more people have next-gen consoles. (This is what I get from the tweets Chris, so not off topic!)

Uh well you're most likely wrong because it's still being said DA3 is targeted for 2013, AND FB3 isn't next gen exclusive. Battlefield 4 is on current gen consoles, and Bioware would be smart to do the same. 

The best guess any one of us can gather is that DA3 is still due for 2013. There's absolutely nothing going against that assumption.

That's not true. The tie-in novel set before the events of Inquisition doesn't come out until next year and the fact that the game is still under wraps with just some information coming at the reveal at E3 points to the possibility of a 2014 release IMO. Yes, they say it's still slated for 2013. But to say there's no reason at all to think otherwise doesn't jive if you look at what we know objectively.

Sure, if you want to question the statements given to you than SURE we can all insinuate that DA3 MIGHT be pushed to 2014. 

I like to believe the facts and the dev statements. I won't be suprised if DA3 is delayed until 2014, but right now there's really nothing substancial to suggest that.

Two headed skeletons? Well, I guess that I will know Santos made that level once I see it.

Also, DA Inquisition is starting to feel like Skyrim: dragons and cheese wheels everywhere.

When has everything everyone from BioWare says been above board? Even Priestly admits that he's lied to us as part of his job. You can't take their word for gospel. They decide what to tell us based on what's best for their business, not based on what's most truthful.

[DAYtheELF]

One thing is for sure: DA3 will be released when it is released. I bet we will have a better handle on when that might be after E3. Patience!
