Next week, gamers around the world will venture into the farthest reaches of space with the launch of BioWare's Mass Effect, the latest role-playing game from the makers of the acclaimed Baldur's Gate series and Knights of the Old Republic. It's the first part in a trilogy that will explore a unique science-fiction setting featuring an original cast of alien species and cultures, the opportunity to explore numerous star systems in the Milky Way galaxy, and a storyline that will confront the player with difficult decisions, often of the life-or-death variety. Leading up to next Monday's review, Gamespy has pulled together the editorial team to discuss their initial experiences in the final frontier.
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.
