Rumor: EA Is Gonna Show Gameplay For Upcoming Titles

I could go back to playing anthem if they made a few radical changes. The stuff they did well they did really well but the stuff they did poorly....woof.

While I'd also find that bitterly disappointing, it is the most logical outcome.

Some kind of gameplay trailer for Anthem 2.0 (because they insist on throwing good money after bad) and maybe another teaser for DA4.

Mass Effect is effectively shelved for now, and I expect to see a Jade Empire 2 trailer before seeing another Mass Effect game of any kind.

Well lets be honest when was the last time Bioware shared anything? at least to those of us that don't have all that social like tweeter etc. (sorry tired of being cooped up) I'll be quiet now    

BioWare has shown content about six months prior to launch for both Andromeda and Anthem.  My speculation is that happened because players got bent out of shape with content that was cut from Inquisition because they couldn't get the game to work on the older consoles with it there.  There was too much entitlement coming from the complaints about how BioWare owed players that content because it was demonstrated and therefore they had an obligation to include it in the game regardless of how many disclaimers BioWare put before any of the official demonstrations that content could change.  Then there was also the FCC complaint from a person because they felt owed a certain type of ending and BioWare mislead them.

That group of vocal players has caused BioWare to go dark with their communication until they know things aren't going to change and ruining it for the rest of us.

A lot of things may be in flux, but the writing for a game is also one of the first things that needs to be finished. So they must have at least a big picture view by now, which is something that could be shown off without delving into too many plot details or spoilers: informations about setting, the war with the Qunari, simple acknowledgement of the shadow conflict between the Inquisition and Solas taking place in Tevinter.

It may have flopped, but it is arguably the first step they took towards action-rpgs. Not the reason they took the path.

Never said they didn't, but players seemed to have accepted that content gets cut before Inquisition.  Its just that those vocal player's couldn't accept that the content was cut because of a reason they didn't like.

I’d say that they’ll probably show something, between Anthem and DA. The first is more likely then the latter, even if I’d prefer the second to be shown.
If DA4 is shown, I’d say it’d be some kind of teaser or cinematic trailer, but it could be even more vague then The Fires Above trailer (putting aside the shown of previous characters, you wouldn’t understand what the game was about by it). While waiting is frustrating, assuming that the development (COVID 19 aside) would go smoother then the recent games, it’s better that the game is released later then earlier in a new gen cycle, as Hrungr said before. It means the game will be developed without considering the old gen.

I’m not sure if it was simply rough, or basically in early stages because the development basically restarted after the original idea of a No-Man Sky kind of game, but yeah, they definitely didn’t show up much because of development problems.

That said, showing extended gameplay more then two years before what we assume will be the release time (putting aside a possible delay due to the lockdown) is also something they’d likely not do. Things get scrapped in that timeframe, or change, even if the game isn’t having development issues, it’s just the nature of a game development for things to change in a two year period of development.

Agreed. It's far too early to be going into any sort of depth right now. 

Though Bioware could do with a win. A little teaser trailer and a concrete reassurance that the game will be singleplayer/story focused could earn some much needed goodwill amongst fans, and would make a change from the usual headlines of "Bioware loses key writer" or "Bioware scraps project".   

Well, there’s no pleasing the online personalities. The goal of putting something out now would mostly be to keep DA on people’s radar.

My counterpoint to all this would be the teaser they released... wow, just shy of 18 months ago. They can create things like that that expose the audience to the concepts of the game without promising many specifics about the mechanics or plot points. I don’t deny that things change a lot in development, but there should be enough solidified that they can show they aren’t spinning their wheels if they want to.

Ubisoft releases a new Assassin's Creed game every other year or even sometimes every year. Including Valhalla, they will have released 4 main Assassin's Creed games since DAI came out! So, there is not a lot of time between the dlc wrapping up, and Ubisoft being ready to release a trailer for the next game. This is very different from Dragon Age, which will be at least 8 years between games! Other games such as Cyberpunk had several teaser trailers well before the game came out.
