First Look at BioWare's New IP: E3 2014

 

 

 

Alistair McNally ‏@Al_McNally 

Also it was fun to walk around GDC2016 in a t-shirt with our new IP on it and no one batted an eyelid.

Milestone review meeting on our new IP project. Just blown away by the new technology and content on display. This team is amazing.

And, no promises, but the words "space nuns" were uttered.

- "BioWare want to tell "very contemporary stories" with the game, but in a world "as big as and imaginative" as the studio's previous work in sci-fi and fantasy. It will be a "clean-sheet design" starting from "the most fundamental principles you can have", said BioWare talking heads in the video. "We're trying to build a fictional world that feels real."

 

 

Here's a few conceptual screenshots of the new ip...

Conceptual Prototype Photos/Pictures

 

Hm... I scanned through them and guess what? What's wong with the pictures? Here is Bio trumpeting the wonderful graphic capabilities of FB3 and they show us washed out water paintings as conceptual real world snapshots? Hell, even DAI graphics are super better than this.

 

OK, maybe I misunderstood Bio's meaning about Real World IP. They certainly been tight lipped about it.

 

Best of luck to the team....then.

The quality of this video is not very good. This one is better still not perfect. (I mean compare Andromeda in this video vs the E3 trailer this year)

 

[Bryan Johnson]

Yah I think that screenshot is from C&C. The "secret" IP that this thread is talking about is not Shadow Realms either, and the video shown in the thread is not from Shadow Realms. The "secret" IP is being mainly worked on in the Edmonton Studio, Shadow Realms was being worked on by Austin.

[Bryan Johnson]

The OP made it sound like the video was new. Just wondering why they've made a thread about it now. 

My guess would be because OP saw people tweeting about it.

[David Gaider]

This gives me terrible flashbacks to ME2-3 designers deciding to prioritize sex appeal over sense in their character designs... 

 

Hm.

 

Well, allow me to say this:

 

1. I never worked on Mass Effect.

 

2. My "that's not very sexy" comments had nothing to do with characters at all, but with mission design. Missions/quests can be sexy, too, and they don't even need bikinis. Well, not always.

[Bryan Johnson]

This is fun #SecretIP

[Bryan Johnson]

You should have tweeted that Bryan! I can think of several gaming sites who would have immediately generated articles around it...

Yah but not many people know my twitter

[Bryan Johnson]

We are begging you for some context here.

The SecretIP has elements that I find fun. 

[Bryan Johnson]

Here is an article some may find of interest:

http://www.bidnesset...unce-disavowed/

That is part of the ongoing SWTOR episodic content I believe

[Bryan Johnson]

Just toss in a cat pic, a Doge meme and #KanyeWest and you'll have all the signal boost you need!

Did all 3 in one tweet

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, this is good news because it means you are actually playing it?!?!

Typically how you make a game is playing it, at some point.

Did all 3 in one tweet

 

Nearly 2 hours later, no new followers or favorites, I feel as though I have been led astray.

[Bryan Johnson]

Things the Sekrit New IP has:

 

1. A shed-thing of some kind.

 

2. Barrels. (Are they explosive? Are they full of spiders? We just don't know.)

 

3. Many attractive trees.

 

4. 'Fun'.

 

Well, clearly we can now pack up the thread because we know everything important. Time to start avoiding spoilers until release day!

Wait where are there Barrels?

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh man this is fun to watch.

 

His wife is the director of my department btw.

[Bryan Johnson]

You know, we won't tell if you want to drop the occasional "You're getting warmer..." or, "You are comically off the rails..."

The current picture you all are mulling over, the lanyard is non standard. 

 

Just curious where you all combing photos from?

[Bryan Johnson]

Well shoot.  I suppose it would be too much to ask that he lost in a freak accident of monumental proportions, and had to get a grab a non-standard pass for the last day?

I could also say glasses, and build are off  Well I guess I mean glasses on

[Bryan Johnson]

^^That is on the lanyard itself I believe. 
If it helps, I found another picture (not GDC) that I think includes Alistair, for those searching for him in GDC photos:

That is Jon Warner the Game Director of the IP in question.

Also I agree our milestone day was awesome

[Bryan Johnson]

Mr. McNally is the man of a million faces, it seems. And we keep mistaking everyone else for him. XD

Alain is storm in that pic, nothing is as it seems

[Bryan Johnson]

TINY black square to the far left?

There is more than just the one

[Bryan Johnson]

Also if anyone is trying to find me, you wont, I am behind the column

[Bryan Johnson]

 

Jay Watamaniuk ‏@JayWatamaniuk

Just got a great collection of game shots from @hanlsp

 

 

Interestingly I dont think Seb is on the project

[Bryan Johnson]

The Bioware Twitter-verse is oddly quiet today.....

 

Edmonton studio is on holiday

[Bryan Johnson]

Arg *headdesk*

This is really aggravating. I want to see!

Sorry

[Bryan Johnson]

So how is this different from just tweeting random words and sentences?

I can do that too:

"Hello lamp!" #SecretIP

Twitter can also be used to communicate to other coworkers who may be aware of what is going on

[Bryan Johnson]

Totally agree with this 100%, just seems kinda strange a handful are all switching in a short timespan. Could totally just be timing at BioWare or other companies or a mix of both. *shrugs*

Things are a lot more publicized these days, but the attrition is not much higher than it normally has been. 

 

Way back you would get information when someone like Peter Moleaux left because he was basically the face of the company. 5 years ago for example the director of my department left, but outside of the people here, I am sure no one even knew about it. That being said if they had announced it then it would be part of this allusion that the entire company is leaving.
