Some ridiculous metal and sliding walk animations in that trailer. I love D&D but that was pretty lame.

Defiantly looks good, like the style of it. Let's see some gameplay before I get pumped.

Hasbro owns wizards of the coast. Wizards of the coast make dnd. Neverwinter is based on dnd.

The only thing I can say about this game is : 
 
Fuck yes. 
 
Hardboiled song, cool-ass artstyle, and Dungeons and Dragons.  The nerd in me awakens.

I'd be more interested if it weren't supposedly a micro transaction game. I was a huge fan of the original NWN + expansions, so I want to like this, but I'm pretty skeptical.

Is this that action rpg Neverwinter game that was briefly mentioned awhile ago that's not anything like the previous Neverwinter Nights or something else? If it's the former it can stay the hell away from me. If it has Neverwinter in the title it has to battle my nostalgia for the original NWN.  I can't settle for anything less than the original game's online capabilities. :\

No offline mode last I heard, which almost surely means no sale from me.  Also I trust Cryptic to make good quests and write good dialogue as much as I trust a wasp to not sting me.

Dragonborn more like, "Fagonborn", no offense to homosexuals, as a mainline race is the most disgusting corruption of a beloved universe as has ever occurred ever. There are other problems with 4th edition, but shit god damn Dragonborn bro, gimme a sec I think I'll just end it here because life is not worth living with Dragonborn in my D&D.

Is it anything like Draconic or Half-Dragon? Those are pretty badass. Especially Half-Dragons. But they're kind of fucked because of the level adjustment.

I cast Magic Missile... At the darkness!

Read other insightful developer comments like this at "can-I-have-a-mountain-dew.com"

I think we need to make a page decicated to simplified sequals for Bioware classics; already belonging there is Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Mass Effect 2 (Despite being wonderful) and Dragon Age 2.

Hell, as long as it doesn't involve Kinect support and has a developing cycle longer than a year, I'm in.

Its hard to follow up from Neverwinter Nights 2, as anyone who's actually played the game knows.

I'm not sure its really fair to keep comparing this to the Neverwinter NIGHTS series. It merely takes place in and around Neverwinter.

So is this a single player adventure with co-op or is it an MMO.   Never known cryptic to make good single player stories.

If by co-op RPG they mean more a long the lines of hack and slash Diablo/Dark Alliance style then I'm all for it, as long as it's free to play. Whatever song they had rockin' in the background helped sell me on it, swords and sorcery and heavy riffs are always a sexy combo.

I'd be more interested in a Neverwinter game and not whatever this is pretending to be.

Cryptic aren't exactly known for making high quality name, this seems to very badly be trying to leech off the Neverwinter Nights name.

I'm also worried by the fact that they're calling this an "online co-op RPG" rather than an MMO, yet still haven't discussed pricing details, which leads me to think there will be a subscription. When they're going up against actual MMO's, like Guild Wars 2, which is likely to be a thousand times higher quality, better gameplay AND free, I don't know how they think they can get away with that.

Completely rediculous trailer. Far too metal for something in the FR. Funny though, I'm in the middle of a Baldur's Gate re-playthrough right now. Fallout 2 is next.

They are going to ruin this franchise by abusing a title they should not use. Just because it takes place AROUND Neverwinter, does not mean you use the damned name. Not to mention, why the **** did they recruit Cryptic for a successful title when they have nothing to go by?

Lol same here, I just hit chapter 4 in BG 2.  Fallout 1 is next for me, then NWN, NWN2.  My backlog is HUGE.

Why is everyone so mad at Cryptic? You know it's Atari's fault this game even began production right?
Thanks to those backwards idiots Cryptic are spread thin across two MMO's and whatever this is supposed to be.
EDIT: Pricing for this is also in Atari's hands for now.

Do we actually know if this is related to Neverwinter Nights? Where is Bioware?
 
It could be a different franchise.

Actually the Neverwinter nights games were made by Atari and Obsidian Entertainment.

@Everyone_in_general: This game makes me sad, why couldn't they just make NVN3?!

Looks cool, too bad it will probably be 4th edition rules.
