@Korey: That's the title of the second game. And the third is going to be Dragon Age: Just After the Age of Dragons, but Right Before the Age of Something Else.

wild homes is being recast!

I kinda want a ridiculously long Oblivion rip-off. If this ends up being some 12 hour quest with no additional depth I'm probably not going to buy it, even after major price drops. But if it was long and tried to build on the Oblivion style in a new way, I would be ecstatic.

@Bonkerjerks:
Yes, now lets never speak of it again. I'm still sad that it'll never come out and that EA swallowed and neutered anything related to Origin and Ultima.

Darkest Daze

I don't care what they call it.

Bioware RPG for PC = Win!

godot

dragon age: train your dragon in minutes a day!

bigman88zz

project origin lol. i hope it is a great game.

feartheraven

At least it's not Dragon Age: Age of Dragons

Korey

No game title should ever have Origins in it. EVER.

Cyanotic

@Fadakar:
Yeah, now Bioware is going to talk it up like they've been planning it as a trilogy from the very beginning...

READ: "We've got so much content here, why just release it as a single 80 hour game when we can piece it out in sequels and dlc?"

It worked for Mass Effect. Still the only "serious" rpg to ship with what, 5 story-driven quests that took about an hour apiece to complete?

Welcome to the future of gaming, I guess.

stranger

Wow. Why do all the new game names sound so very generic?

Dragon Age: Origins
Sonic Unleashed
Captain Rainbow... wait...

LionheartAce

EA must've done some serious research on the impact using a colon in your title has on a game's metacritic score.

stranger

Damnit, McWhertor, I was going to use that joke! :D

DukeOfPwn

D: The origins makes it sound so tacky.

NitrousO

This is the news they were teasing us with... thanks.

Murdoc

They better release some Dragon Age news today. >:|

argh

Origins...Uh oh, fleshed out saga coming guys. lol

Fadakar

Wasn't the canceled sequel to Ultima Online to be called Ultima Origins?

Bonkerjerks

Awesome. I'm still working on Mass Effect PC. (And I know a guy who works for Bioware, heh, yay for me!)

Strangelove

Well I guess there goes GTTV's surprise Bioware teaser trailer.

Fermbiz

@sarcasmOD: Oh wow. That's actually what I hope it won't be, the market is flooded with shallow action-RPGs as is, Fallout 3 looks to be no big exception there, sadly.

I know the chances are slim, but I hope that maybe - just maybe - a bit of Baldur's Gate glory will shine through this, in the form of complex, tactical combat, old-school dungeon creeping and content over presentation - unlike in Mass effect, which sacrificed way too much in order to look and sound good.

Ungeheuer

At least they didn't name it Dragon Age: Requiem. Or something Japanese sounding that makes little to no sense, like Super Dragon Go Force.

sarcasmOD

That's not a new name. That's a longer name.

Snake726

"Origins"? huh? Sounds like EA and Bioware are already thinking "sequal"

Nullzero

I'm still waiting for Sprite Quest to come. Damn I bet this game doesn't even have Ronald McDonald in it.

Vibhorsir

That new subtitle made it 43 times more generic. Bioware, you can do better than that. Plus, you can't call the first game in a series Origins. You wait until the series is dying, then you desperately try to revive it by hiring some no-name, no-talent developer to make the game for you, and you claim it will answer all the unanswered questions, even though nobody wanted them answered anyways.

Placentasaurus

What's it with subtitles anyway?
Dragon Age would've worked just fine.
Then, if they wanted to release an updated version of the game, they use a subtitle, like for Overlord... Hehe.

Tigerfog

Something tells me this article has more info than the official website will have at 11:59PM BioWare Time

kidko

I'm running the assumption that the webmaster is on vacation in Hawaii, and the 9th still has plenty of hours left in her.

Heliophage

@Heliophage:

I should have refreshed first. *crawls to his corner in shame*

Heliophage

For those who care, the site launched.

...if you can call that a launch...

Heliophage

Site's up.

Rohit_N

Someone at Bioware's PR needs to learn that an announcement for more real info at a later date isn't worth teasing for.

Tertiee

I had zero interest in this game until they released the new name. I'm like so totally interested now.

Dragon Age - meh
Dragon Age: Origins - FTW

kagai

I feel like a woman must when they are waiting for it to come up and then nothing happens and it's over.

Zilor

@Crazy_Buffet_Happens: hehe

So i called it. no info. signed up for the newsletters. waiting for teh uberz0r HD vidz to show up.

kidko

despite all my rage i am still just a dragon age... ORIGINS

@Placentasaurus:

wat

That Boy Baked

Bioware currently owns my soul.

Like, seriously. The CEO has it in a drawer in his posh Ikea style desk, along with the souls of a handful of other fanboys.

So that means that Bioware could announce Jack Thompson: A Guide to Insanity, and I would so totally buy eight copies of it.

Thorax

Not too excited about Bioware games anymore after Mass Effect. Their games are good to watch but shite to play.

randymonk

@Vibhorsir:

No Jeff the Turtle = no purchase for me I'm afraid.

fenex13

Dragon Age is said to be the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate 2.

Therefore I'm hoping for extremely long and kickass story, multiple side quests, extremely deep character creation/party system, interesting and meaningful interactions with party members, all of it amounting to 200+ hours if you go through it all.

Even without all that, I'm buying it on day 1 and I'll enjoy it. I'm completely sold on Bioware games.

SicariusIV

What is it with all these non-sequels having unnecessary subtitles? It's not like a generic term like "Origins" tells you much about the game by itself anyway.

Syril

@Syril:
both the fact that it has a subtitle and the word itself, "origins", point to it being the first in a planned series.

uuuluuu
