NowGamer: Executive Producer Casey Hudson knows what Commander Shepard's fate holds beyond Mass Effect 3.
Pascal Blanché has joined Arcanaut Studios as Studio Art Director on Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, working with Casey Hudson.
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.
Well Bioware confirmed that there'll be multiple endings right? So I'm assuming there will be some where Shepard may live and some where Shepard may die (i.e. I don't think Shepard's ending will be the same no matter which ending you get, unless by multiple endings they only mean 2 or 3 endings that is). Although if you're talking about what ending (and therefore decisions too) will be considered canon then that makes a bit more sense. I don't really see them continuing on Shepard's story after ME3. Chances are it'll be a spin-off of a character we know, or a sequel a bit further in the future with a new character maybe, or perhaps even a prequel of some sort, maybe the First Contact Wars or something similar. Bioware have a lot of options so I don't think they'll particularly need to rely on Shepard anymore after this, although that's not to say that they definitely won't use him/her again.
Depends on the difficulty level...
well if its like ME2 he could live or die but dying won't matter seeing as how Mass Effect 4 will be able to port Shepard over from 3
ME3 should have had a different campaign if shep had died in ME2
but then again it is bioware so watering down everything and taking shortcuts is there new motto
I thought he died after the first one
Shepard must survive , even if the rest of the Galaxy is doomed.
