Man, I wish I knew how to read!

The Matrix5412d ago

Fortunately I know how to read and am actually currently reading through the Mass Effect books. They are really good so far and they are written by the writer of the game script so you know they are always completely canon and not meaningless side stories.

I've read all 3 published boks in the series, and i have to say that I was more than impressed. I was expecting shoddy and shallow writing, but to my surprise the characters were well rounded, and the story in each of the books gave added perspective to the clore and canon of the game. I'd highly recommend a read.

"... the characters were well rounded, and the story in each of the books gave added perspective to the clore and canon of the game."

DUH! All three books are written by Drew Karpyshyn who is also the writer of all three games. There's also another novel coming out in 2011-2012 along with a new comic book series.

Mass Effect - N7 DAY 2025

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.

toxic-inferno197d ago

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.

Profchaos197d ago

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

jznrpg197d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb197d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum197d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast531d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine531d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast531d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman530d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast530d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman530d ago

DustMan779d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave778d ago (Edited 778d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
