What's the deal with Bioware this year. Only one lousy Old Republic trailer? Really?
 
wheres Mass Effect 3 or Dragon Age 2. I mean i know they are not for this year but It would've been cool to see a small trailer or something. Maybe I missed something?

Really weak E3 for Bioware in my opinion, I expected more out of them.

 
A little too early for ME3, and maybe even the next full, series entry DA, no?
 
I'm hyped for TOR already, personally, so it's all good for me when it comes to Bioware's showing.

" Really weak E3 for Bioware in my opinion, I expected more out of them. "

I'm wondering if they had much to show for those two games.  While DAO2 has a release date of February 1, 2011, I'm not sure how far along they are in Mass Effect 3.  This March 2010 article from 1UP speculates they're pretty early in the development cycle or at least too early for anything worthy of showing to the media.   I wonder if Bioware was ready to announce the games and if that errant EA financial report which exposed their existence set their press schedule off track.  Either way, they came with just one game because that was where they wanted all the media attention to be focused.  Star Wars: The Old Republic is rumored to be the most expensive video game ever made and for that type of investment, they need it to be a success.  "Keep your eyes on the prize" as the saying goes.  All coverage and all questions are directed at their MMO project with little to no wasted public mind share on last year's hits.  
 
I don't need to see something about ME3 or DAO2 just yet.  As we get closer to the end of the year, then I wouldn't mind some DAO2 stuff.  A trailer and information on gameplay changes.  As for ME3, I don't expect it to drop until Holiday 2011, so next year's E3 is soon enough for that one.

They released Dragon Age Origins, an expansion pack for Dragon Age, Mass Effect 2, dlc for Mass Effect, and have been hard at work on one of the most expensive games ever, The Old Republic. They have done tons in the past year or so and do have The Old Republic on the show floor. What did you expect Mass Effect 3 and 4?  "

ME2 and DA aren't even a year old, they'll show up next year.

I think you dont get me here.  They pushed a lot of software in the last year i'm with you on this so no i'm not expecting them to put out new games for the next year BUT since we do know for sure there will be a Dragon age 2 and there sure as hell will be a Mass Effect 3, It wouldn't hurt to get a trailer or two up there, just to get the hype going you know?  And Old Republic, the trailer was cool and all but shit was it useless. Show me the game, show me elements of the game, scenes, voice acting, a beta date, ANYTHING but christ something about the game. "

Read previews of the people who get to play the game... They have shown tons of gameplay footage for Old Republic and are letting the press write about it. Also you have to understand that Bioware is a part of EA. Why show a trailer for Mass Effect 3, a game that will likely come out in 2011 or hell 2012, when they have games coming out this year in need of attention. Do you really want to be teased and have to wait a couple years to even see the game?  "

I was hoping for ME3 or DA2 or anything related, but meh, can't have it all.
 
They did show off a new DLC for DA I think? Something with Leliana? Not sure if that's hard fact or just mods or rumors.

They shows trailers of mass effect 1 two years before its release, and im pretty sure i've seen early trailers of mass effect 2 way before as well. But hey, whatever man. Fact is all they had was a lousy trailer and I feel its a bit weak.  And I know they wrote about the game but im lazy, i dont wanna read, i want a FULL ON demo onstage, kinda like Dead Space 2. That was cool "

Well, what other games is Bioware developing at the moment, Old Republic aside? Mass Effect 3, but they're not announcing anything about that just yet. Dragon Age 2, maybe? 
 
Anyway, last holiday and this spring saw their big games come out, so maybe they just took this E3 off until they have something more solid to show for. Maybe TGS or GC?

While I didn't really expect any announcements, at least a tease of something would have been nice. I believe there was some new Dragon Age DLC announced, though, concerning Leliana. Did I just dream that?

I'm pretty sure that The Old Republic was playable, so there was more than just a trailer. That game is probably going to be their main focus for a little while.

G4TV had a long on-stage presentation of Star Wars The Old Republic game play during the show and more videos of game play on the website.

Dude they just released Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 and believe I wish they had shown DA 2 and ME 3 at E3 but do you really want them to work on these game for a year and a half and then release them?
