Reading through more stuff for peer review this afternoon. #secretIP

[Felya87]

Sorry, but my english is very basic... but what is a peer review?

I think it's when the writers check each others' work and make sure it all fits together.

Based on my clear command of story logic, I fear @BioMaryKirby will fly across the table and actually strike me when she reads my stuff.

 

Mary Kirby ‏@BioMaryKirby

Aww man! I've never struck fear into anybody before! This is awesome!

Might have broke the build with my grammarz. Have taken a series of screenshots to save my work today like any experienced AAA developer.

They won't want to hype it too much before Mass Effect: Andromeda, but I think we might get at least a name and a basic description at E3. I mean, if it's coming out next year they need to give us time to want it.

 

I'm not convinced that it is necessary to give people 'time to want it'.

 

I agree with Bethesda's Pete Hines' 'rule of one E3' (a 5 month launch worked perfectly well for them).

 

MEA will have been at three E3s, and I don't think that has the slightest impact.

IF the Secret IP will be launching holidays 2017, there would be no necessity to sharing anything prior to E3 2017.

I still think 2018 is more likely.

I agree with Bethesda's Pete Hines' 'rule of one E3' (a 5 month launch worked perfectly well for them).

I strongly disagree with that rule. I'd rather follow a game during its development, so the earlier the announcement the better.

DAO's is an excellent model to follow. BioWare announced that in 2004, 5 years before they released it.

I recall the enjoyment of following NWN1 for years before launch. But I also enjoyed hearing about Skyrim for only a year or so before that release, and having one of the more memorable E3 demos.

Wow! That is completely unexpected.

All the best to David, and hope he continues in his love of writing.

[N7M]

huh.

Is there a job opening?

[Absafraginlootly]

Since I presume that he wouldn't leave in the middle of writing for the new IP, can we then assume that the bulk of the writing is complete? Or at least the parts (characters, bacground details, whatever they are) that he was responsible for.

[archav3n]

Ohh godd.. i'm falling in love with the Mass Effect soundtrack.

I would assume so. I wonder if they knew he was leaving when they transferred him. It's always seemed to me that the area he truly shines in is crafting a nuanced setting.

It's only taken about 6 months but we're "almost" settled on the name for BioWare's new IP #GameDevChallenges

Just food for thought: Pls avoid anything like vortex, whirlpool, tornado, etc in the title, as they literally 'suck'....

WOO!

[Awkward Octopus]

I'm so excited for this! I'm craving to hear more about it - even just basic information to tide me over. Genre of storytelling? ("Contemporary" doesn't tell me much.) Gameplay mechanics? (We can't assume it's another single-player RPG, but I'm hoping it is...) And yes, the title would be nice!

 

AAA games are so expensive to make that it feels like it's become super rare to see anyone try something not already part of a franchise. I can understand that from a  business standpoint, but I want new things to love!

[Arvaarad]

Looking forward to the title. Anyone else willing to bet it'll be 2 words, with 3 syllables total?

For their original IP, where they have full control of the naming, they've been remarkably consistent.
