CVG present their interview with BioWare co-doctors Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk - the makers of Mass Effect.
"Speaking of voice talent, can you tell us about the actors you're using?
Greg Zeschuk: There's over a hundred I think. There 300 characters; it's pretty crazy in a good way.
Ray Muzyka: It's all about conveying the personalities of the characters. You have to have credible characters, the dialogue has to flow. We've got some famous actors for the voice acting as well. We haven't announced who they are yet but you may be able to pick them out."

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."
"For the longest time we were pretty sure we were going to have to fit the game content onto two DVDs, because there's just so much content in the game. Right now it looks like we're going to get it on one and it's been difficult because there's a lot of content. It's a very ambitious title."
omg ! I smell some compressed data that cuz lower frame rates and may be they want to cut some content! and make them as a downlodable one..
F*** I want mass effect without any limit... why its not on ps3 :(
because bioware has always done xbox, and window exclusive games and microsoft published the game, and would it truely kill someone to put an extra disc in, pc games have sometimes like up to five dvds and people still buy that
I dont care about releasing ps3 version or not(yes its for 360).. because I have a 360.. I said I dont want to cut or compress some data in Mass effect.. its obvious every compressed data will cuz some extra process and for sure cuz lower frame rates than normal condition..
u must be idiot if u think 4 DVD PC game is like 4 DVD 360 game.. PC allways has HDD but there are so many Core users for 360..
so using multiple DVD is nearly foolish for 360.. some files must be ready everytime so they must put them on every DVD ..
so 18 GB game will be on 3 DVD9 instead of 2 .. but in PC u can install any file u want..
First of all, I dont want to have to swap discs at all, f*ck the dumb sh!t especially for this game. It isnt a linear japanese rpg and therefore if you had to swap discs it would be hell. Think of having to swap discs in oblivion.....exactly.
Dont get it twisted, I love my 360 and all and I think Mass Effect is going to be the sh!t but I would be pissed if it was on more than one disc. Benisme your pc argument has some merit but the fact of the matter is the 360 is not a pc.
Cartesian, just because a game ends up taking less space then originally inteded doesnt mean it was compressed, optimizations and programming tricks can do this also. Furthermore if the game was compressed, doesnt necessarily mean it will be of lesser quality(ie. lower frame rates?) but believe me just like you I would be pissed to know that mass effect took stuff out of the game and sold it as downloadable content. Pissed! but if they compressed it all to one disc then that shouldnt be a problem either.
But still, I think mass effect is going to be the sh!t and even if they are compressing, compression gets better all the time and we've all seen the realistic graphics and silky smooth conversations and big ass galaxy so I dont think anyone needs to worry too much about mass effect.
Let us all drop our flamethrowers and agree-
"HOLY **** THIS GAME LOOKS AWESOME OMG NEW INFO I'M SO HAPPY!"
See? Something we can all get behind! Seriously though, this title does need to be one disc because (at least from previews) you're supposed to be able to visit most any planet at any time. You'd wind up doing a lot of swapping that way.
Plus, they should be rendering all their cutscenes in-engine with a beautiful game like this, so space shouldn't be that great of a concern regardless. And as Oblivion proved, a LOT of audio fits onto a 360 disc. So one disc is still a very reasonable target.
