I supposedly got a alpha inv for this game. Is this fake or what?

[Fidite Nemini]

Had you applied for the alpha?

 

Or is it inviting you to sign up for the alpha (which I had gotten as email too)?

Im gonna assume its fake as Ive read up on the alpha for this game and it doesn't seem to be sending out invs yet. So beware I suppose.

What email adress was it sent from?

[Overdosing]

I'm curious...what does the concept of Shadow Realms have to do with the blogs on Seeking Henna, and the website on a fictional institute? I wondered that.

[Heimdall]

Still not planning to buy (Only Online RPG is sort of an oxymoron in my view btw) But I signed up for the alpha and I plan to keep an eye on it. You never know, it might surprise me.

[Heimdall]

If it doesn't atleast have a CC the last of my interest will vanish however.

They aren't sending out invites right how, however it does seem that they sent out an email for people to sign up for alpha which is a chance for an invite in the next few weeks.

They said character customization will be available in the game.

Is this supposed to be a competitive 4 vs 1 or is the 1 more trying to tell a story and entertain the 4? I'm not sure the latter will work. The former sounds interesting but I'm not sure how adding story to such a game is going to work at all. I'm interested but pretty skeptical.

 

And is this the "New IP" or have Bioware got something else in development as well?

That I can't tell.

 

The gameplay demo we could try was strictly competitively, but I am sure a form of free-play where the single player is less of an opponent and more of a creatively driving force would be awesome.

 

I am sure to ask if I catch anyone of the team again (which may sadly not be as likely as I hope).

I have to imagine it will be competitive.

 

The game is pretty much going to have to have a matchmaking system so that you can play with random people, and in that case even if they try to go the route of the latter then you'll still end up with people who just try to slaughter the team anyway.

 

I think that even if Bioware tries to make it not competitive, the community will.

If anyone is getting rejected when applying for the alpha at the signup site, it's because you're an old like me. Change your age to 29 and it'll accept your application. Wish I was kidding.

Q&A online now. I updated first post.

 

[Gamemako]

I see game mechanics that need polish, an idea with very narrow appeal (competitive multiplayer players and story players have minimal overlap), and I see someone talking about "story" without really explaining how that's supposed to work except that... it takes place entirely in a hub?

It's a bit like PSO2, except with a competitive element, I guess?

[Heimdall]

They said character customization will be available in the game.

But does that just mean variable abilities or outfits? We'll see.

[KaiserShep]

I suppose what I think of this game doesn't really matter, since the fact that it's PC-only ensures that I'll never play it.

[Kaicel]

Thanks for adding the Q&A, OP.

 

PC only.

No solo option.

Episodic content..

Not quite PvE, sounds familiar to the Evolve concept.

 

Hopefully they'll port it later on and allow for more options like L4D..

Evolve does actually have a solo option even though the focus is on co-op and pvp. I also think Evolve will play quite differently from this. I am wildly excited about Evolve but pretty much waiting to find out more for this, not evry excited. Conceptually from what I can tell it will be a lot different, having a focus on story which I can't quite see how it will work with pvp multiplayer.

 

I'm also concerned about the depth. Since it's PC only the market is much smaller, PvP smaller again. Just how much story can they afford to create? Perhaps it will come with an editor and players can create and share their own stuff.

[Khayness]

That's why e-sports championships are breaking records each year I guess.

 

Today's peak for Dota 2 simultaneous play was 750k alone (not overall), who knows how many people play online PvP each day on PC. It is not COD numbers, but if you don't spend a small country's GDP on marketing you can break even pretty easily on PC.

 

It might be not the current BioWare crowd, but there is certainly an audience for these games.

I am not going to say there isn't an audience, but look at Titanfall where there are common complaints about the lack of people active in the game during non-peak hours.

I think BioWare has this and something else in development, from what I heard.

There are two projects that BioWare had unannounced before they announced Shadow Realms.  A new IP being developed by the Mass Effect/Edmonton Team and another project they are doing in collaboration with Failbetter games.
