Not really sure what to make of that.
Action/Adventure, but not RPG....
The 'what is an RPG?' is a weird conversation with no clear outcome, in my opinion.
Do they mean a fixed protagonist with set skills and the player chooses which avenue(s) to go down for the completion of the game?
I was thinking Batman:Arkham, but even that has skill progression that the player chooses. This is...weird.

Could be a straight up shooter.
That'd be my first guess.
They have been heading in that direction for years now.

I don't know who this shinobi guy is that tweeted this but apparently it's "genre melding".
If it were a straight up shooter I'd think that description may not be the best fit.

I'm guessing an MMO similar to Overwatch. Is Overwatch an rpg? Haven't actually played it... something with fixed characters that you don't get to create/fix yourself anyway. I dunno, I just hope it's good.

From the little Bioware said it sounds a lot like their cancelled title Shadow Realms that was announced in 2014. I wonder why they are trying something similar (or the same?) again.

It could be a co-op horde shooter maybe, building on their experience with ME MP, either way, if it's not an RPG and especially if it's MP only - I'm not interested. I wouldn't mind a great co-op shooter. Last good one of those was Borderlands 2

If it's been in development since 2012, it seems somewhat likely that it's built on the remnants of their previous canceled project Shadow Realms. Maybe some kind of action/brawler game? I'm guessing an MMO similar to Overwatch. Is Overwatch an rpg? Haven't actually played it... something with fixed characters that you don't get to create/fix yourself anyway. I dunno, I just hope it's good. Overwatch is just a FPS where you play as pre-made characters that each have their own unique weapons and skill sets.

In all likelihood it seems to me that character creation, dialogue choice, and our choices having some impact on the story (For there will be some kind of story, it seems, rather than being like Overwatch where the story is basically entirely seperate from the gameplay) are probably returning.
I'm more concerned about whether we'll have companions or squadmates as we've been accustomed to. But I'm betting EA understands just how popular those characters become and that we'll have some sort of companion group even if they don't necessarily follow us around or play the same role as they do in DA and ME.
I'm kinda suspecting something a bit like SWTOR in the sense that there is a single player experience, with each player having their own companion group and a basically separate single player experience, although there may be more intermingling than that, like some way for players to help each other out on missions.

I am hoping it is Jade Empire meets ME3MP. Could have SWTOR elements, I suppose, but the heart and soul of SWTOR was 8 different intertwined class stories, and I doubt very much they (or anyone else ever for that matter) would ever do that again. It could be that it will be something like alternating PoVs campaign where you go from one character to the next to see a portion of the story that comes together in the end, to make SWTOR' ambitious and interesting design more manageable and compact. Maybe, as you progress through that sp portion, you unlock your Heroes for the MP portion or something.... though I know peeps are allergic to one and another not being separate.
Edit: also, if it's not an rpg, will it be presented on this site? Because SWTOR ain't....

AN ME3-style autodialogue-ridden protagonist I barely have any control over trapped in a linear story, but has a half-baked talent tree so it's "an rpg-hybrid"?

Eh so they drop the "choices matter" pretense. If it's a decent story, it could still be good.
I would be ok with a set named protagonist and a set story where we can choose how to react to stuff but that's about it. Oh and of course, the banging. Gotta have the banging.

Not sure how I feel about them moving away from RPG's but if it was something like Destiny I'd give it a try. If it's a shooter I'd be less interested, very curious though they would move in this direction.
