I'm not actually against it being a MMO (I play a bunch) or F2P to whatever extent (I play a few).
But I'll only be really caring if (all 3):
-It is narrative based
-It is more like AAA quality (not a text browser game)
-It is, well, a great game (and hopefully not P2W as I would define it)

It honestly could just be a tagline to lure people into a trial/demo version of whatever it is. We don't know.
I want to believe this thing is a red herring and it's really the next Mass Effect that is being announced for fall 2015
Wait, a potential new IP from Bioware? After years of exclusively Mass Effect and Dragon Age? Count me in.

The next Mass Effect is being shown off at San Diego Comic Con, in about seven hours from now.
Nightmares, fire, Red, shattered 3.
Nightmares and dreams, eh?

Horror? Haven't a good horror RPG since Vampire the masquerade and BioWare did pretty good with the Leviathan DLC and its 'creepy' elements. Also, any time they wanted to go Cthuhulu they did a pretty damn good job.
Hope it's OUR BioWare though, not just 'company z' that's been called BioWare for some reason.
Could be worse."What really happens when we sleep?"
Oh, come on...
Don't do stupid taglines.

Could be worse.
"Your mom hates this game"
"Take Earth Back"
"An Ancient Evil Awakens"
Stupid taglines are part of marketing everywhere.
I don't mind as long as the game's good.
"This is the new sh*t" was terrible, but DA:O turned out amazing.

Mini-update: Oh yeah, there's this too. On 25 February, Failbetter Games—of Sunless Sea and Fallen London—announced that they were working with Bioware. "I can’t tell you anything at all about the project," Failbetter wrote at the time, "not for a little while yet – except to say that it’s a Failbettery one, down to its bones." Given that the Shadow Realms trademark was also filed late-Feb, it's more likely that this—not the Edmonton project—is what the teaser refers to.

I guess it depends on what you call "our BioWare," but the only studios with the BioWare name now are ones that BioWare started. Austin was formed in 2006 to make SWTOR and was constituted of former Edmonton guys and new hires, and Montreal was formed in 2009 with a similar blueprint.
The three non-BioWare studios that had the BioWare name are all closed (EA2D/San Francisco, Victory Games and Mythic).
Waystone Games (Dawngate moba) is technically under the BioWare label but doesn't have the name and it seems like it's just a corporate structure thing.
Given we know it's not either of the Canada studios or Waystone, that leaves BioWare Austin or perhaps Failbetter Games, as mentioned above.
Knowing the type of games Failbetter makes, I'm guessing this isn't what they are working on. Probably some sort of companion game or a small game using a BioWare IP.
So this is probably BioWare Austin's next project. In January they were looking for testers with experience playing MMORPGs (SWTOR and DCUO used as examples) and action games (DMC, Infamous, Bayonetta, GTAV, Tomb Raider, LEGO Marvel... so really anything ... used as examples).
I think one of the writers already confirmed that it's Bioware Austin.
Failbetter games look like they're writing the ARG companion game that's happening now.

I got the email.
I sure hope it's not horror. That would be terrible. Though I wonder how something like that--horror-would fit with Bioware's gameplay style (stuff like hub worlds, the RPG elements, and characters).

The next Mass Effect is being shown off at San Diego Comic Con, in about seven hours from now.
Is it actually being shown off, or is it just that nebulous panel about "The future of Mass Effect" where all they'll do is make reference to the previous games and talk in broad sweeps about what ME Next will have (exploration. Parties. Hubs.)?
Edit: Actually. Well. Apparently the Mako is back.

FTP? Not interested.
What's FTP? The "Shadow Realms" or whatever? Where'd you hear that?

When they registered the domain names in February they registered some that could hint toward F2P. They registered 70. Here's some (not just ones hinting F2P):

Yeah nothing to kill hype like the words EA and F2P in one sentence.

I see. Well.
Oh well. That still leaves the new IP, DA, and ME.
It's a shame, I was getting excited the last day or so, thinking it was the new IP (hadn't watched the video yet). But I'm glad it's not, now.

Well, maybe a FTP, based on that link posted a page back. Also, Mako in ME4? Really? Sad to see the Hammerhead go...not really.

Yeah I just saw.
And it's not like the Hammerhead has any more precedent than the Mako, seeing as how its entire use was only in DLCs.
New Mako looks weird though.
What the hell did they do to the Mako?
I have a strange, high-ass feeling that this won't have the same allure as Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
But I'll just wait for more news.
