I wonder if they're waiting for Witcher 3 hype to blow over?

Dai has me so spoiled. I got ESO this weekend for my Xbox one and feel like I'm playing origins.

Well, you obviously missed my point entirely. Whatever. I don't want to... spoil your fun. I'll show myself out. This has never really been my place anyway.

[lynroy]

It was a joke.

[BansheeOwnage]

It was a joke.

Well, the joke seemed to give the impression I meant more than I did, which I find annoying. I don't want to derail the thread re-explaining my point of view though, so I'll just stop instead.

Probably not, he's had the stance for awhile now that they can't talk about unannounced things before hand for legal reasons

Well they've always had that.

BansheeOwnage - No! It was only a joke!   

 

It's just been a silly day today, with... assorted silliness... and things... and stuff.

I find that bizarre. I've never heard of a company who isn't allowed to hype their products.

[Jawzzus]

Good...?

I will ship the hell out of anything that gives us more Scout Harding.  I'm still hoping for a Dagna/Harding relationship, or at least a cute off

I think it's all quiet now. It's only for the launch period.

it’s not that they’re not allowed to hype their products, more they can’t comment on stuff that is still in the pipeline before being given approval by someone higher up. NDA’s and other legal contracts can be very restrictive in what one can say and do relating to unannounced projects so a lot of dev’s err of the side of caution and say nothing at all. No way of inadvertently breaking an NDA or leaving yourself legally liable by giving some info about release dates and such if they say nothing.

 

As I’ve been saying in other threads we should be getting info about the next DLC later this month/early next month if they’re sticking to the DLC every 3 months schedule like they have with previous games. However I’m starting to wonder if they’re waiting for SDCC to announce, they’re going to be there in some way so if they’re doing a panel there would be no better place for a DLC annoucement.

It already did in my opinion. I have like 3 people on my PSN who still play Witcher 3. The rest is busy with TESO and Destiny. And E3 is done. I guess we can expect some new info soon.

T_T... I have probably thousands of hours put in ESO and 4 VR14s (one in each class), but now everybody's playing it on consoles, rather than PC it seems ;_;

The part where I hanged him for being Howe-spawn.

 

Just kidding.

 

Only did it once. My Cousland Queen went all Lady Stoneheart Miss Vengeance on the Freys Howes.

Anyway...

 

Favorite moment was when he finally realized what a monumental douche his father was.

[Jawzzus]

They should have a favorite Arl Howe moment, because mine would be when he talks about the look in your eye being the exact reason every cousland always did better then him.  Ah Tim Curry, how I love to hate your characters.

It only puzzles me because of other companies (and past Bioware) not seeming to have problems talking about the things they're working on. Does Bioware have stricter NDAs now, or are they just more scared of breaking them? My main point was that they fail to even announce things officially until release. That's not an NDA thing, though, is it?

It can quite easily be an NDA thing. If the people higher up the game dev food chain start to see the openness displayed by the dev’s in the past as a hindrance, which it could be argued that is has been in the past particularly during ME3’s ending debacle, then they can make the NDA's a lot stricter and they can do this as and when they want to without running it by the dev’s.

 

The studio I work at used to be very much like Bioware in terms of openly talking to the fan base but one of the studio heads didn’t really like that and said in a round about way that it undermined the marketing they had planned for various projects and changed it so we couldn’t really talk about anything to do with the projects we were working on on social media until it was released. It could’ve been a lot worse though, it started becoming rather Orwellian in the studio at one point, he wanted every developer in the studio too delete all social media accounts and only use the office email, which they can monitor, for both in office emails and external emails.

That's unfortunate. I like devs that participate in the community. I also would have thought the potential hype generated would out-way people twisting their words too, since that always happens regardless. It's either get hype and get words twisted, or get words twisted and hear complaints about having no info.

 

That's really bizarre, sorry about that. I hope the gaming industry isn't overly legally... constrained as we go.

[devSin]

Mike has already gone over this.

BioWare is part of a publicly traded U.S. company now. That puts huge restrictions on the sorts of things they can say (or rather, the things they say have very real legal and regulatory effects now). (BioWare could still tease upcoming content, but doing so becomes binding and influences the way they'd have to report revenue for the game. They've chosen instead to say nothing specific until they're out of certification and certain of a release date.)

Most developers are private (or foreign) entities and can say whatever they want (or they just choose to deal with the repercussions).

A habit many people on BSN have is making posts with comparisons in a vacuum. 

 

It's unfortunate that you need to point out the obvious
