PALGN.com gave you half of an interview with Bioware's Community Coordinator, Chris Priestly, on their upcoming RPG/3rd person shooter, Mass Effect. In this interview, PALGN.com is going to take a look at a few of the intricacies within the game, as well as some technicalities and what the future may hold for Bioware and indeed, Mass Effect.
Topics include: progress/level-up, upgrade system, mini-games, side-quests, romances, lengths of the main quest and absolutely everything in the game, achievements (including one for maxing out level at 50,) demo, turnover between future instalments, chapters (DLC), working with Xbox 360, DVD issues, impact of EA's acquisition on BioWare's properties, confirmation of the trilogy, Limited Collectors Edition in Australia, Priestly's favorite aspect of the game, and 'casual' gamer market.
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."
"PALGN: In light of the recent debate over storage media, have there been issues with just using the Dual-layer DVD?"
"CP: Nope. Everything has been working really smoothly. There have been no problems at all..."
"PALGN: How long do you think the main quest will take to complete? How long, or how many times will one have to play through to see absolutely everything that the game has to offer?"
"CP: In terms of gameplay, it always depends on the individual player. ...But for that player that does enjoy more, who goes out to explore, ...Probably, anywhere from around 40-60 hours. But that would be you’re first time through."
"PALGN: Can you confirm that it will still be a trilogy of games?"
"CP: Absolutely, that will not be changing. Mass Effect will still definitely be a trilogy. It will be coming to the Xbox 360 and it’s going to be really great."
