In an interview with Bioware about Mass Effect, they made clear that the game will get downloadable content just after its release. One can think of new planets to explore/new submissions, new weapons and new possibilities to change your character.
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.

Well, releasing downloadable content just after it`s release sounds pointless if it`s true that this game is gigantic. On the other hand this might show a glimps of the fututre, because if developers see that if they limit their games to DVD they can actually release downlodable content right after it`s release. It does give them the aility to earn more money thru downloadable content on Xbox live,
than they would if they where to release it on Blu-ray. :o
With the games visuals, the amount of gaming content and its game time being around 50hrs its all on...Wait for it...
ONE DVD!
WOW looks like its only possible on DVD because if it was on blu-ray we would have to wait another 2yrs for the game so the developers could throw in 10gb worth of audio and who knows what other nonsense.
we know from last year there was certainly going to be downloadable, I just hope they are all big and not lame like horse armor in Oblivion(an equivalent would be "sexy sexy dress" for Ashley)
*Just because a developer announces DLC it does not mean they will automatically charge for it. =)
*Besides, DLC adds to the game, & *IF* there is a charge, best of all, it's OPTIONAL, unlike BLURAY !
*50+ hours of gameplay on 1 dvd9 with the incredible graphics this game has demonstrated shows that Bluray isn't needed ! Bioshock, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Halo 3, COD4, Assassian's Creed = all on one dvd9 ! ALL of the 2007 E3 award winners were either M$ dvd9 exclusives or third party titles appearing on dvd9 - *NO* awards given for any BLURAY exclusives ! Thanks but no thanks alexander22rednaxela !
*Personally, I'll take all the DLC goodness Bioware puts out for this game because it is gonna ROCK !!!
"Optional" downloadable contents to be available *for sale* immediately at launch. Hm, I don't like the sound of it, at all. Why should customers have to pay the "extras" as downloable contents that are already made available on the launch date?
