CT: I am a little puzzled about something. I was at the Bioware theater today for a gathering and presentations. At the end of the event everyone got a free copy of Dragon Age: Inquisition. I ended up getting the PC version and for some reason it's the PAL version. In other words the game was imported from Europe. I mean, you'd think that they would have spare NA versions laying around in the office. The PAL versions are published in Europe, not in North America. Sooo wtf? Weird but interesting.
I found it funny that out of 60-70 people only 2 people took an Xbox One version. The rest was all PS4 (Which was gone first) and PC (which they had the most of). The 360 even moved more than the Xbox One LOL. Another interesting thought. The first guy that asked for the Xbox One version was laughed at and his face turned red. Why Bioware only had 2 copies to give out was beyond me, I guess they didn't figure anyone owned an Xbox One. Apparently it seems that no one in the development community acknowledges the existence of the Xbox One or Wii U.
Over all the presentation was pretty good as well. A very good talk on VR and some other interesting tidbits like how the NDP is seriously looking to support the gaming industry in Alberta. The conservatives would never even bat an eye. Edmonton could very well end up having a network of developers other than a few unknown ones and Bioware. Of course there is BeamDog which is helmed by one of the ex-founding fathers of Bioware. The goal is that it would be a circle network so developers can move around. For example Bioware could take fresh blood and a veteran who needs a break to destress from AAA games, but still wants to make games can go to a smaller development team and then return to Bioware later. This is a fantastic idea imo and would be a nice change. I just hope EA doesn't act like a little bitch about it.
Speaking of BeamDog. Trent Oysters arms are much bigger than Chris Redfield's in RE5. I don't know why, I just felt that I needed to say that. No really, I am serious about this. It was very distracting.
PS. pegi aka the ESRB of Europe, actually has "Fear" as one of the things they use to rate a game. Alrighty then. That is all.
