I may only have heard 50% of the stream, but I didn't hear something about MP. Dang it.

Me neither. Thread drifting back into dormancy.

Lots of gameplay and trailer analysis to do though  :D

Oh man  :(

 

I have not really had the chance to digest all of the new info as I am at work but I really hope that DA:I has MP. That would make the game perfect.

Hmmmm.

 

If MP were in DAI, I would've thought we'd see/hear about it at E3... then, at latest, Gamescom.

 

Thinking I'm gonna let hope go at this point and focus on the totally awesome and huge SP experience this game is gonna be (which, really, was going to be my primary focus anyway even if MP was included).

Gamescom was certainly an opportunity.

Haven't abandoned all hope but there are many more 'here and now' items to discuss so I hope this thread may sleep if and until it is needed.  -_-

There's still a couple of days of Gamescom to go :P

 

If it's in the game, I can only guess that maybe they're releasing a bunch of singleplayer info first to get the hype going before showing MP later.

I hope so, I really, really, really hope so.

 

So far the SP looks absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to play it, but MP (IMO) would make it perfect.

 

It's like looking at a delicious and juicy hamburger; all of the cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and onions are arrayed perfectly, and the establishment is using only the finest of ketchups and mustards. A hamburger that sets your mouth watering the moment you lay your eyes on it. I am fully prepared to enjoy my hamburger, but I can't help but thinking that a side of fries would make this dish even better.  :D

 

* Dang, I need to lay off on the food analogies when I am hungry  :?

No I can't think of any reason to bring food analogies into it...  :P

MP could still be announced within the week, like tomorrow or the day after. Technically, the 13th is the first day of the show without a press conference, so they'll be doing exhibitions and talking about the game.

I have hope that this will be the case, I mean hasn't BioWare still been cagey on confirming MP one way or the other?

 

You would think that with all of the new info being released, and/or clarified that someone would have confirmed that DA:I was SP only if MP was most assuredly not in the game.

Yup.

 

Honestly, if they don't announce a MP component this week, I don't know when they will.

They've not explicitly denied MP, no.

 

There's also the "bonus content to be announced later" that's included in the Deluxe/Inquisitor's Editions, and the Prima Game Guide. In ME3's case, things like the game guide had codes to unlock extra starter packs for MP.

 

Finally, the "leaked" achievements - if real - indicate that it has a multiplayer mode.

*Fingers crossed* Hopefully we will get a MP reveal sometime this week.

 

I know that I have at least two friends who would pre-order the game and pick it up day one (instead of borrowing it off me) if MP was announced.

When advertising a product it's traditional to talk about all the awesome things a product has that its purchasers will enjoy. It's not very smart to list potentially enjoyable things that will not be in the product.

 

Besides, if they're going to confirm everything that isn't in the game before release we'll be in for a rather dense marketing campaign.

True, but then again BioWare has confirmed that there won't be mounted combat, as well as the fact that companion dialogue will not occur while riding a mount. They have also confirmed that Mages will not be getting the Blood Magic specialization. 

 

It just strikes me as odd that BioWare would want to confirm these elements as not to give fans undue expectations, but that they would not come right out and say that MP was not in DA:I.

 

If MP was truly not ever going to be a part of DA:I I would think that BioWare would want to state that fact.

...and that dragon fight (if it's a tamed dragon, not Flemeth or Morrigan shapeshifting) backs that achievements list...

Don't let your hopes down yet DR... just saying.  :whistle:

I have been avoiding spoilers (as best I can) but the "leaked" Achievements list really does mention MP?

I'm not going to rule it out completely but if multi-player was really truly going to be a part of DA:I I think they'd have announced it by now. It would be a major feature with the potential to drive up sales numbers and its reveal would be done with fanfare at a major press show. We're running out of major press shows (and don't tell me that they'd announce on day three of a conference after they went all out hyping the EA show.)

 

Addendum: I have no idea why anyone is taking the "leaked" achievement list seriously. Folks have listed innumerable discrepancies between its obviously photo-shopped screens and the actual appearance of the origin dashboard. It's also worth noting that when ME3's multiplayer was leaked the team's response was to confirm it and release a trailer about a week afterwards. It's also notable that ME3's multiplayer was publicly announced more than six months before release and that there was a public beta in order to fine tune it.
