BioWare's original ending might have had everyone singing a different tune. According to Drew Karpyshyn, the series writer, the ending was to comprise of the spreading of Dark Energy, a force used for mass effect fields and biotic powers.
Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."
I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed
Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.
I feel the same way.
I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?
Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.
Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year
So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?
Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”
Speaking on a recent episode of the FRVR Podcast, veteran EA developer Alex Hutchinson—who worked on The Sims 2, Spore and Army of Two: The 40th Day—explained that the studio is already no longer the studio fans fell in love with, but it should be safe from censorship of its games’ political beliefs.
BioWare should find the center and focus. Chasing someone else’s shadow will likely lead to failure.
If you’re worried about EA’s future, you’re in good company. The acquisition is unprecedented on many levels, and it throws the future of EA's studios and some of its biggest franchises —including BioWare, The Sims, Apex Legends, and Battlefield — into doubt. Industry analysts have varying predictions about what could come next. However, there are a few constants — namely, that EA will likely implement large-scale spending reductions and sell off its less profitable studios.
How can you be an analyst and not look at Tencent and know exactly what's about to happen: massive layoffs, decline in quality, and loss revenue.
It is Toys R Us all over again, and JCPenney and Sears and so many more. EA lost is vision before 2000. It's an old stodgy corporation. It's not going to recover.
If Ea sell studio that develop NFS wishful thinking Saudi investers put Blackbox studio back together. get rid of online racing, drive to a race or no races at all wasting time playing nfs for NO reason at all thanks to Unbound, Heat, Payback, Rivals.
i think that games that are not Sports games or Shooters will cease to exist, since they are the big money makers.
not sure why anyone would agree to this. especially to rich saudis of all people ha they have more money than they'll ever need
Except as a move meant to continue the series - which still doesn't work given the unedited ending - I don't understand why things where changed.
Me either the ending was vague and would of liked to see where things ended. Since he has written the novels and the game i thought Bioware would go with his ending
Sounds way better than the ending in Mass Effect 3. Same thing goes with the other elements discussed in the article.
Sounds good, but as he said, things don't always work out when you're developing a game as part of a team. And the fact that he was gone for ME3 probably plays a big role in their decision to not use that.
EDIT: Also, are all of you really saying that you would've liked it better. Wasn't one of the major complaints that you only had 3 choices. Are all of you really saying that you'd be cool with 2 endings? Stop blindly hating ME3's ending. I liked the end alright and this one would've been fine too, but shit.
That ending would've meant so much more than what we now all have to live with.
