The press release does not offer a release date but online retail web sites show an April 17 date for the release of the game. Here is a snip: In The Longest Journey players took on the role of April Ryan, an 18-year-old girl whose destiny was foretold in the prophecies. Having to save the balance between the twin worlds of science and magic, April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Oops I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hmm. That reminds me. I was supposed to get a preview code of Dreamfall sent to me. I never did get it. I guess the postal service ate it.

SteveThaiBinh Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 (w00t) My most highly anticipated game of the year. I hope they've got it right. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I've played it a little (at a press showing) and it's not very similar to The Longest Journey.. at all. Lots of loading times, pretty choppy frame rates on the Xbox and a control scheme that's.. not very intuitive. They also revealed that it's not possible to go through the game without having to engage in some fighting. Yes, Dreamfall has a fighting system now. I can't decide if they're sellouts or innovators. I can say that I wasn't overly impressed with what I saw in that realtively early build. My hope is that the story and puzzle parts are good enough to compensate for the weird design decisions they seem to have made this time around.

Musopticon? Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Me too. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Yes, Dreamfall has a fighting system now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Interface fighting or ingame fighting? Haven't heard about that many positive experiences regarding the game, either. Wonder if they're including something like Omikron: The Nomad Soul's combat system...

Missy Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I've been waiting for this game for so long that I have to get it, even if it makes me cry. "Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveThaiBinh Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 If the fighting isn't too difficult, and if it's believable, i.e. the character fights when she would realistically fight, and only wins fights that she would realistically win, then I'll be happy. Dreamfall seems to have an adventure core with some fighting added on, so it doesn't fit easily into one single genre. That can indeed go horribly wrong, but you also have to be prepared for the possibility of a good game that the reviewers just don't get. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."
