You Have Been Chosen (Bioware Viral?)

MatevMatev Cero MiedoRegistered User regular
in Social Entropy++
So, I was just on my way to bed, and checking my email, like you do, when I saw one form Bioware labeled "You've Been Chosen"

It lead me to a fucked up video with a link to this site at the end of it.

All right Bioware, you caught me at just the right time. Let me in on the joke so I can get some damned sleep.

Anyone else have any ideas as to what the hell this is for?

    They said they were working on a new ip at E3

    A paranormal/dream-based thriller would be novel for them

    Certainly feels like a different direction for them. It'll interesting to see what other bits get teased out.

    Ah, so I'm guessing this is what they've been collaborating with Failbetter on

    I never thought about it before but horror really is perfect for bioware. They've experimented with it a little bit in previous games but never gone full hog

    Apparently it is for something called "Shadow Realms" which EA trademarked a while ago.

    Sounds appropriately spooky

    Where's ME4

    Horror normally is something I stay well away from, but it's Bioware so I'll definitely keep an eye out.

    Speaking of Horror, I was just playing the demo for Among the Sleep.

    God damn if that ain't creepy as hell, and now I gotta wait till payday to play the full version.

    No they aren't

    So where is it

  • InvisibleInvisible Registered User regular
    I got excited because I thought the email was from Blizzard and I thought Heroes of the Storm! Sweet!

    Then I read what it really was. Interested, just less so than initially.

    It must be absolutely exhausting to be a game dev.

    "Ugh, another E3 of all sequels and reboots."
    "Oh, okay, here you go."
    "Ugh, a new IP in a genre I don't like. More sequels, please."

    Furthermore, Montreal is working on ME4, and Edmonton appears to be working on this game, so it's not like one is delaying the other.

    I mean, I personally want a new Resident Evil, a cross between the style of RE2 and RE4, but with the pretty graphics and more advanced combat of RE5 and RE6.

    Doesn't mean I want Capcom to stop work on every other project and dedicate like 500 developers to one project...

    Strongly disagree

    Capcom make a new fucking mega man game that isn't an iOS garbage port

    Well I mean

    I doubt the people saying that first thing are also the people saying that second thing

    It's just simply a case of you can't please everyone, not a case of you can't please anyone
