Gameplayer report's: EA has been up to a few dirty tricks in recent years as it looks to regain its place at the top of the gaming food chain, and we can't say they've gone down to well with consumers. From buying cheats in Tiger Woods, to holding back weapons in Battlefield: Bad Company as DLC through to the particularly ugly feature of purchasing car modifications in Need for Speed: ProStreet with real money, it has been almost a constant probing at the ethical guidelines surrounding our beloved industry. The latest game to be used on the frontline of bad taste is Mass Effect on PC.
For the uninitiated, in an effort to curb the rather worrying levels of piracy found in the PC sector, EA have instituted some draconian-like measures to bring in the coin.
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.”
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.
GF365: "A friend makes the adventure all the more fun. Here are the best video game companions that will keep you company."
that was a very interesting convosation...both parties had valid opinions. Which illustrates a serious problem.
I am gutted by this Mass Effect debacle. What a joke. I have a work computer, laptop and home computer and I often install games on all three and just carry saved game files around with me.
As far as I am concerned I paid (a lot) for it and should be able to do what I want with it. Luckily I have already played Mass Effect on X360.
However, I didn't realise they were looking to do the same thing in Spore. What next, Battlefield Heroes, KOTOR 3, Crysis Warhead. I HATE YOU EA.
