I don't think they're gonna do it, but if it IS dropping in the next three weeks there's going to be a sudden outbreak of dire illness among the fanbase. The main symptoms will be coughing when talking to the boss on the phone and needed an unexpected week off.

I mean ...I don't understand the whole getting stuff signed, but getting some stuff signed from folks whose work you haven't even seen yet, is so puzzling to me. Weren't they supposed to talk about their characters or something? I'm so confused by the whole thing.

So the Fandom party they were hyping up turned out to be a big nothing. Yeah, just seems to be a branding/team-up thing. Jason Derulo was the musical act, but I had fun seeing this morning (it's 7:45am here in UK) that Bioware/Dragon Age centric YouTuber Kala Elizabeth was joking that he was singing songs from Dragon Age like 'The Dawn Has Come' haha.

Jedi Survivor was announced ~2 months before its original release date, it was pushed back about a month afterward thought. Wasn't that the game that was almost unplayable on PC when it was first released? I hope they learned from that. I don't care about the wait so long as when it finally is released I can play it on my PC from day one.

Hmph. The snippets from SDCC that I've seen so far are giving me the worst FOMO I've ever had and that's saying something because I tend to avoid crowded places! What i have seen is a normal book Fair, their are allways this many people. As long as you can go anyware you want it is okay.

As far as I can tell you will be able to play completely offline, and also on your steam deck if you wish. Very straightforward, no stupid EA app to make things complicated and annoying. it's funny, because that "the EA App will not be required to play the game" is basically EA admitting that their App is not good... I think we can thanks the recent problems of other publishers and their apps for that.

From Resetera.Poster: This also makes me think this will come sooner out rather than later like early - mid october maybe even earlier if they are this satisfied with their progress. Shinobi:It's coming along very well, really just making sure everything is extra polished before making the date public (don't want another Andromeda situation do we? 😅).
Coming along well? = game is not finished Extra polished? = game has bugs/incomplete
Remember Bio and Co. are hyping the game while working to complete as mush as possible before or at EA's deadline. This talk of "progress going well" is getting old by now. I'm still waiting for Shinobi's "ton of information" coming in July which should be coming from the SDCC.

Hm... The fact that Bio gave the demo with no "hands on" from the press is telling. No? Shinobi keeps repeating that progress is coming along very well is also telling. The fact that Steam is testing the console version of the game for "compatibility" with their system in no way indicates DA4 is bug free or complete. The PC version is being worked on now (I hope). No news that Steam has this version yet.
I'll let the bleeding edge testers buy the game first.

Bio/EA marketing is in full swing. Bio devs are squawking about the game... all good signs that "progress" is moving along. Even Shinobi said so.
But I'm curious why EA is only showing the sports game(s) at Gamescon and no Bio devs at SDCC.... must be a cost issue. Investors can be demanding at times.

I am surprised they would pass on Gamescom on a launch year, though I guess they technically don't need to be there. Now I wonder what Cons are on their agenda. Pax West Aug 30 - Sep 2, 2024? PAX Aus is in early October, which is obviously too late for a release date announcement, but they've dragged themselves all the way here on previous occasions so I have my fingers crossed that they'll at least bring us a demo like they did with Inquisition. Yeah even if the game isn' tout ther's a goo dchance we'll know the date by then because even if the ydon't announc eit her I doubt they' lleave it moer than say anothe rcouple of weeks befoer the ydo especially given we aer only 4 days away from August.

The game will be out? No way. The PC version has yet to reach Steam.
No doubt Bio wants to avoid another lip animation controversy. Going the extra yard is the right decision in my play book.

There is a hypothesis that rough PC launch of Jedi Survivor is what pushed BioWare to delay the game for additional year.
Respawn was offered to delay the game by EA, but Respawn heads just didn't take the offer.

Yea hAli Hillis is one of the most famous there asa VA given she's voiced Liara from the ME trilog yLightning from Fina lFantasy as ewll she's been around a fai rbit. Much like Varric's VA as well. As he's been in the Batman Arkham gameswhre he voiced a couple o fvillains he's been involved in both ME an dDragonAge since the start thoughin the case of Origins not a sVarric but I believe he voiced one o r2 of the mino rdwarves durin gour time in Orzammar in that game

John Epler is right there, there's a photo of him on the previous page. (No idea how much of the team they brought - I imagine most of them are indeed finishing the game off and not schlepping all the way down to California for a fan party - but BioWare are definitely present.)

Bio/EA marketing is in full swing. Bio devs are squawking about the game... all good signs that "progress" is moving along. Even Shinobi said so.
But I'm curious why EA is only showing the sports game(s) at Gamescon and no Bio devs at SDCC.... must be a cost issue. Investors can be demanding at times.
Its really a bang for your buck thing as I have been proposing for awhile now. Its hard to go to someone else's house and get the resources together to market your stuff when you are competing with a whole lot of other things for attention and have to likely pay money to the venue to host it. With Sports Games this is really a lot easier to do since we pretty much know what we are getting, allt he features in these new sports games are pretty much the same as the other just relatively minor changes makes it easier to market, a full on RPG like BioWare requires a lot more time, effort, which means money, and given the experience with marketing that money might be better spent elsewhere considering I really don't think trailers and blurbs do it for general audiences anymore...at least not by themselves. And so far Veilguard's marketing seems to back up this strategy. They released a very small, very quick, very fluffy trailer at the XBox game event...this might've cost some money to set up especially since XBox does not seem to be giving them anything return...then the much more substantial gameplay demo they released on their own YouTube channel. Wasn't that the game that was almost unplayable on PC when it was first released? I hope they learned from that. I don't care about the wait so long as when it finally is released I can play it on my PC from day one. DAVG was meant to be released last year September.
There is a hypothesis that rough PC launch of Jedi Survivor is what pushed BioWare to delay the game for additional year.
Respawn was offered to delay the game by EA, but Respawn heads just didn't take the offer.
I would be curious to know where you heard that bit about EA offering them a year long delay...Respawn that is.
