BioWare Mythic’s Secret (Ultima?) Project “Looks Really Cool”
I swear I felt my heart skip a beat last night when I say Paul Barnett fire off this tweet:
Game just hangs at the loading screen, third time in an hour, graphics clash and flicker, sad panda all round 🙁

Of course, for all I know, he was trying to play Dragon Age 2 without the high-res texture patch. Still, I couldn’t help but wonder if he was perhaps talking about a serious glitch in Mythic’s rumoured Ultima reboot/remake/whatever project.
Because that sort of thing would be bad.
My fears were partially put to rest a couple of hours later, however, when I noticed that Barnett had also tweeted this:
Secret project game has just had a fab data push to the internal server and looks really cool!

Now, it’s entirely possible that this is some other secret project game, and then nothing particularly Ultima-related at all. But I rather suspect that it is…and, if so, I’m rather excited by the prospect this short little statement teases. This was always a project I wanted to see come to fruition, and if BioWare Mythic can pull off something not unlike it…well…uh…words fail.
