So i was reading my brother twitter than i saw this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm-kJ5vQ8Ig
The idea of having a Western game be turned into an anime project isn’t new. Halo did it with Halo Legends. I’m a fan of anime and video games, so this very idea should be a winner, yet it’s not. Instead of having traditional 2D animation, the Dragon Age anime opted to use CGI instead. If you’re going to use CGI, at least make it look good. The character models look uninspired and the voice acting is rough. At least the last shot with the dragon looks wonderful.The animations looks....well old.
When i saw the comments on youtube,and the dislike bar.My expectaions dropped.I was realling hoping something new.
But anyway we can't say too much,can we?We need to wait 1 years anyway.Also by the trailer yo ucan see that the character,isn't the Grey Warden.By two reasons:
1-The Archdemon present,the plot looks nothing like the plot of DA:O.
2-This warden..is a Girl.And the "Grey Warden" is despised as a male.
Also you can see other importamt figures.Such as the "Church" present in all Dragon age games.

Well, if this is real, I like the art style, but this is basically the final nail in the coffin me thinks.

This is real....unfortunaly.

Ewwww..... holy god. I didn't think I could see Dragon Age sink lower. I doubt this will be received well in Japan. So instead of trying to make a GOOD game like Skyrim that is critically acclaimed and can hold its own in every country they decide it's a better idea to spend even more money to badly pander to the Japanese audience with this atrocity? I doubt they have even the faintest idea of anything the Japanese market likes given the lack luster performance of western game sin general there. Skyrim is the only recent western game I can think of to sell well there and get good scores. Though I'm by no means an expert. So then that leaves us with the western audience, which typically doesn't like cheap CGI so much. We're a little bit more spoiled and like the high quality stuff. Then on top of that it's dragon [censored], so they decided to try break open a market that they have no idea about with their S (guess what S stands for! 4 letter word!) grade material? Right, and this is why the Bioware name will mean nothing in 5 years or less. All these dip [censored] companies founded with other teams and given the Bioware name are going to plow it into the ground. So now your not just destroying the franchise, but [censored] your own best development name with bad teams working under it? Okkkaaay then EA. I'm calling it right now, this is going to be an astounding failure.

I can't even imagine what the hell Bioware and EA are doing to Mass Effect 3.Plz don't let it athmosphere be destroyed by stupid Co-Op and Multiplayer ideas.

*munches popcorn*

Watching bioware crash and burn, is fun.

Just a cheap cash-in, nothing new here. Though, I wasn't aware that Dragon Age was even popular in Asia.

The funny thing is the good core Bioware is still there as good as ever, but the problem is these mediocre "other" teams who have the name slapped on them. See? It's already happening, people can't distinguish one team from the other. I can honestly say I can't blame them either. Wont be long now, mark my words. Unless EA can get its act together and stop ruining the name.

This even looks like Dragon Age.This looks like Dragon Ball Age Z.I loved that series to much to be ruined by terrible battle,plots and animations/CGI like that.

No, the good people left. EA isnt this all evil thing, that makes all games bad. Bioware sold out, blming EA is pointless. ll it does is protect the devs who are as guilty at best, or even worse than EA (I highly doubt EA put a gun to gaiders head demanding all LIs be bi and bland).

Deny all you wnt, but Bioware is pretty much dead (or will be soon enough), and after how they have acted, they desrved it. One less thing to drag games down.

Good job Japan, first Pearl Harbor and now this... would you like my heart as well? You'll find it at the bottom of you're Japanese boots.

Well to be fair we did bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They had to get retribution for both sooner or later.

The idea of an anime isn't particularly bad, but the animation looks awful. The industry is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF3OP3f2I10&hd=1 than that.

You have absolutely no idea what the hell your talking about. I'm not letting my personal opinion of some of their games get to me. They can still put out good hits like TOR and Mass Effect, as the core team. I'm not allowing my personal dislike of the game to say that their core team is talentless hacks, because that would be foolish. Anyone can see they can make a good game when given some freedom. The problem is studios like victory games which then take on the Bioware label. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioWare_Victory

There are other ways the name has been forced to be compromised, the uh... Dragon Age team is another. Now if it's your personal opinion that those developers were good, then fine. Feel free to espouse the belief, but I'm arguing cold hard facts here. At the end of the day it will only be a personal opinion. Like I could say Valve svcks and Crytec IS TEH BEST EVAR! And all that nonsense.

Edit
The problem with Mass Effect 3 is lots of that core team was siphoned off for TOR, so I'm a little hesitant to see how it's going to turn out.

Now that's some awesome animation.

Holy crap, that is some awesome animation. Is it going to officially makes its way here so I can purchase it?

Well, there goes one of my favorite games, down the [censored]ter of lazy devs and big companies.

Wish I could tell you, I haven't been following it too closely myself and I don't see anything but a Japanese release at the moment. I sure hope so.

Oooh hostile.

So you insist that the core of good devs are still there. Only they arent.

A guy who worked there 10 years left, he knows more about BW than you and I. And if it were just other studios, he wouldnt have left. Its Bioware, the whole damn thing has changed. Keep beliving what you want about the studio. But its not going to get better any time soon.

This. Bioware, regardless of what you think, is changing. If what an articles says is true, all the changes in DA2 were Bioware's choice only, not EA's so you can blame them if you hated anything in DA2. In addition, go to their forums and you'll see the devs say such gold like this: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTnw3JARXo8PzbuYpXZDVsPNsXy3FAMWfx9cFS6tAXQeJpEEnebZfER3Tok3w

Dragon Age is largely dead to me beyond Origins. But keep in mind with this anime: its got very little to do with Origins. its based on Cassandra Pentaghast, not the Warden.

I never said the development team wasn't changing their opinions on what they like to make, I was stating it is mostly intact. And it is, Bioware Edmonton hasn't really been touched other than the few who left. One man does not a make a whole team unfortunately for you. What they like is changing, but that doesn't actually mean they somehow lost their skill. It's insanity. It's like saying because you've stopped reading books and playing more games for a week you've suddenly forgotten how to read as good. So yes, it is your personal opinion. The core team is still there, the founders are still there barring the one who returned to medicine. A single person doesn't make a trend, and I never disagreed about them having the same development ethos. To reiterate your personal opinion, is not fact. You've completely failed to prove that the majority of the core team is gone.

This. Especially since (judging by the title) this seems to be a moderatly important source of new information (re: the seekers, and wtf they are).

Yes, it's quite sad. Around the same time as that DA anime is coming, a trilogy of Berserk films are also set for release. Poor Dragon Age...in its misguided quest for relevance, it just keeps on getting one-upped by better guys. The Witcher 2 and Skyrim beat up Dragon Age 2, and now Berserk is gonna' kick the crap out of Dawn of the Seeker.

Unknown at this point, but I'm personally optimistic. Both the first Berserk anime and the manga saw a western release and proved to be a hit. I suspect this new trilogy will be out about a year from now.

Needs more cell shading and mupltuashasas
