According to a report Mass Effect 3 will feature four-player co-op portion. The co-op portion will apparently be “standalone” and will feature “competitive elements”.
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.”
Speaking on a recent episode of the FRVR Podcast, veteran EA developer Alex Hutchinson—who worked on The Sims 2, Spore and Army of Two: The 40th Day—explained that the studio is already no longer the studio fans fell in love with, but it should be safe from censorship of its games’ political beliefs.
BioWare should find the center and focus. Chasing someone else’s shadow will likely lead to failure.
If you’re worried about EA’s future, you’re in good company. The acquisition is unprecedented on many levels, and it throws the future of EA's studios and some of its biggest franchises —including BioWare, The Sims, Apex Legends, and Battlefield — into doubt. Industry analysts have varying predictions about what could come next. However, there are a few constants — namely, that EA will likely implement large-scale spending reductions and sell off its less profitable studios.
How can you be an analyst and not look at Tencent and know exactly what's about to happen: massive layoffs, decline in quality, and loss revenue.
It is Toys R Us all over again, and JCPenney and Sears and so many more. EA lost is vision before 2000. It's an old stodgy corporation. It's not going to recover.
If Ea sell studio that develop NFS wishful thinking Saudi investers put Blackbox studio back together. get rid of online racing, drive to a race or no races at all wasting time playing nfs for NO reason at all thanks to Unbound, Heat, Payback, Rivals.
i think that games that are not Sports games or Shooters will cease to exist, since they are the big money makers.
not sure why anyone would agree to this. especially to rich saudis of all people ha they have more money than they'll ever need
Hmm stand alone separate from story im okay with that.
A type of hoarde mode??
Ah tacked on multiplayer mode FTW eh, yeah ME 3 mp is going to have a long and healthy life. All this will do is anger the existing fan base and do hardly anything to attract new customers to the franchise.
I remember reading an article a few days ago where they acknowledge they screwed up with DA 2 and lost a lot of loyal fans and they had learned their lesson. Obviously from all these MP rumours they haven't learnt their lesson.
meaning that they took time out of making the game the best it can be to make a garbage multiplayer mode that true fans dont have any desire for?
If this gme has any flaws then I will blame bioware for tacking on some garbage multiplayer that nobody asked for instead of spending that time on the SP.
I wish they would just put out the best SP game they would for the final game. but whatever, they want to attract the COD crowd, even thought they will never try a game like ME.
Whatever, I hope this isnt true but this will probably be the last bioware game I buy for a long time anyways.
I think a spin off set in the ME universe with 4 player co-op would be cool..it would be like borderlands in space..but better. and borderlands was good.
