Overall, some would argue that it has been a quiet year in the gaming industry. With all the major consoles released and a lot of the year's biggest games already out or delayed till 2008, you can almost see why. Still, it's been quite a big year for Microsoft, but they have one last hurrah for 2007. Mass Effect from RPG powerhouse Bioware is looking to take out the Xbox 360 on a high this year, and PALGN.com has recently had a chat to Bioware's Community Coordinator Chris Priestly. PALGN.com had quite the yarn, so they have split the interview into two parts. Check out this first part for some in-depth info into the actual game.
Topics include: Priestly's background and history with BioWare, the premise behind Mass Effect, character creation, the main character Shepard, dialogue, combat, tech abilities and 'biotics', morality, and sizes of planets and the game.
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.
