"EA has today refused to comment on questions surrounding its deal with Microsoft to 'handle future publishing for Mass Effect'.
Earlier today EA confirmed that it is to publish sci-fi RPG Mass Effect for PC in May 2008. In the official press release, Frank Gibeau, President of EA's Games Label said: "EA has struck an agreement with Microsoft to handle future publishing for Mass Effect. We are looking forward to releasing Mass Effect on the PC this Spring and brand new titles in the future."
Videogamer.com contacted EA to ask five key questions relating to the 'future publishing for Mass Effect.'"
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
Wealth of Geeks explores some of the best gaming romances that have stolen our hearts over the years.
they probably sold pub rights to EA in exchange for timed exclusivity and another 3 years of Madden running at 30fps on PS3
has anyone else noticed this extreme amount of secrecy in the video game industry? is there really a reason that a "no comment" had to be given to all 5 questions? it just seems odd that the policy is to keep gamers/consumers in the dark for as long as possible.
who cares if it becomes multiplatform? if that's the best choice for EA, then do it. the only thing that sounds like a sure thing is that both 2 and 3 have been given the greenlight, so we'll get more mass effect action in the future.
I could care less, but it's fun to sit back and watch fanboys argue over internal corporate financial decisions, when clearly the PS3 is the frontrunner in next-gen gaming and is even drawing haters to the PS3 'web' -- soup to nuts. >_<
It's a great game. Spread the wealth.
So basically, I know absolutely nothing more after reading this article than I did before. What a useless waste of bandwidth.
"We asked EA stuff. They didn't answer. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?!"
