BioWare president Greg Zeschuk talks about Mass Effect's development and what it was like to create a universe.
IGN: How's it feel to finally have the release date firmed up?
Greg Zeschuk: It feels good and we are confident about it. I saw an email today and things are going well at work, which is always good to know. Although there's more work to do there's still a little bit of ironing out. But we are down to the finish line.
IGN: Has it been difficult working on next gen hardware?
Greg Zeschuk: It's been good to work on next generation hardware in general, although it has been a bit of a challenge. The amount of data we now have to process has been increased a lot though, which means we've had to adapt quite a lot and scaled our development process up accordingly.
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.
