Does that countdown take us to April 1st? Hmmmmm?


Nope. March 29th.


It could be that at the end of this countdown timer they reveal another countdown timer that is for 3 days, honestly the countdown timer is too close to april fools so I wouldnt get too exited yet though I must admit I am expecting a new game reveal from Bioware sometime this year, they must be working on other projects than TOR it is just a question of whether they are at the stage where they can be revealed.

Could be some info about a Mass effect 2 expansion but I'm doubtful.


I have heard about plans for a Mass Effect 2 expansion but did Bioware release a countdown timer for the Dragon Age expansion?

Baldur's Gate 3


Who has the rights to Baldurs Gate these days? I have heard about a new Baldurs Gate in the works but I cant remember who is developing it (thinking Obsidian but not sure). However it could be one of those Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance games so I wouldnt get your hopes up, in any case it wont be continuing from where Baldurs Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal left off.




As I said I think it is quite likely that Bioware will reveal something big this year as the only major project we know of that is currently under development is TOR. Whether or not this countdown timer will reveal it is still under question but I do think that we will have a big reveal between now and E3.

Surely Bioware has something else up their sleeves it is just a question of whether they are ready to show it.

I see a lot of people are expecting Jade Empire 2, while this is as likely as anything and I would be stoked if it was Jade Empire 2 for all we know it could be a brand new IP.



I for one think it is about time Bioware made a game about Pirates, I think Bioware could probably make a pretty damn good game about pirates.

Really guys, i've been playing 19 hours. And sudenly i'm finished WTF and that for a gigantic 39,99 euro's. it was nice to play Awakenings, but it is way to short. I expected it to last at least for another 20 or 30 hours. In all it was a wast of the money spend................







Kindest regards







Erwin


May I ask a kind (sort of) question? Where the hell did you buy Awakening. I got it for 25 euros the day of release in Eu...

Hope it is Jade 2.

Who else think the Bioware employees are clustered around their moniters giggling at us?

YOU BASTARDS!

Valve's Steam system is supposed to be released for the OS X in April, yeah? I bet Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age get added.

KoTOR 3...



Man I wish... But Kojima would sooner announce Zone of the Enders 3... So probably not going to happen.

Nah now that the Star Wars: TOR MMO is in production I doubt Bioware will ever make another single player KoTOR game and instead just create add ons for the MMO.

IIRC Atari has the rights.

Black Isle Studios worked on Baldur's Gate: the Black Hound which got cancelled in 2003. It was supposed to be another low-level campaign with hard cap at level 8 like the first game.

I think the reason Bioware didn't release a timer to announce Dragon Age Awakening is because news of the game leaked before Bioware officially announced it.



I think out of all the possibilities, the most probable will be



Announcement of another Dragon Age expansion pack or Dragon Age 2



Announcement of Mass Effect expansion pack. Not Mass Effect 3 though, a little too soon.



Announcement of an entirely new franchise. I think Bioware has said they're working on a new project.

Yeah I heard about that but these rumours I heard were pretty recent, and I have found the article.

Not sure what is planned for it or even if they will actually go through with it but it does seem like Atari has plans for the Baldur's Gate franchise.

Obsidian might be working on it already... IIRC they still have one unannounced project running.

I'd take the "Strip Then Develop Severe Flu-Like Symptoms" strip pack for Tali over that any day.

Sounds plausible. Obsidian have been trusted with Neverwinter Nights (2 was excellent IMHO), KotOR and currently Fallout. I think they're working on a Wheel of Time game, though, so I don't know if they have the resources to support a fourth game (Alpha Protocol and New Vegas will need support for some time), possibly even a fifth.
But I'm pretty sure you're right about Atari having the license, though. D&D:O, NWN1+2, Dragonshard, Demon Stone... All the D&D games I have are published by them.

I have no idea. Obsidian only has license to make Icewind Dale games, far as I know. Atari holds the D&D license as a whole though. Maybe them?

Anyway, if it is a Baldur's Gate 3... unlikely as that is, it better *not* continue where Throne of Bhaal left off. That game left us no need for closure. The endings wrapped things up nicely IMO.

After getting a night's sleep and thinking it over some more, I'm going to definitely go with a new franchise or sequel announcement. A counter suggests this will be bigger than an expansion. The cynical side of me expects DLC or something equally lame though. :P *Please be Jade Empire*

Its the day they present all 'Off Topic forumites' cake and ice cream.

its a shame i'm diabetic...

...and it's a shame that I can't stomach most sweet foods.  So if it is a countdown to cake and icecream, I'll be very disappointed.

A countdown to the Hammerhead DLC, perhaps?  We have been waiting on that for a while now.


It's already out. Click here.

As unlikely as it is I hope for KOTOR 3, secondly I hope for Baldur's Gate 3. Though I think it is Jade Empire 2.

The cynical side of me is expecting that at the end of this counter there will be another counter set for 3 days, and at the end of that counter we will likely see something like this,



In Soviet Russia Rick rolls you!

Seriously it is a bit too close to April fools for a release and this counter could be setting us up to be the fool on April 1st.

However the optimistic side of me hopes for a new game announcement either set in the Jade Empire universe or based on a brand new IP.

That would be a battle of epic proportions. I wonder how BioWare would counter Bungie's 7-step plan...
