Cooperative multiplayer for Mass Effect 3 hasn't exactly been received by fans with open arms, with many assuming the move will distract BioWare from the single-player campaign which draws to an end in Shepard's third outing. However, BioWare is adamant now is the right time to introduce multiplayer gaming and insists its Edmonton and Montreal teams are focussed on making Mass Effect 3 a fitting finale.
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
I really think some games should be kept single player only, and this is one of them. Or as an alternative, develop some games with single player only first, and release MP as DLC later. That would be the best of bost worlds without hindering either mode IMO.
Quick, save the universe, there is not a moment to lose - but first help Jacob with his daddy issues, Mirana with her sister issues, Jack with her childhood issues, Tali with her daddy issues, Samara with her daughter issues, Garrus with his anger issues, Kasumi with her dead boyfriend issues, Thane with his bastard son issues and oh wait, help Grunt with his rite of passage and Mordin with his questionable research - but remember, the Geth/Reapers/Collectors are trying to kill everybody so no time to lose!
After the train wreck that was ME2 I have no interest in this series anymore. I will gladly put in ME1 again over giving a second thought to "Gears Effect 3".
I am never going to play this. Ever.
I dont understand why there is so much skeptisism about this. I have never played Mass Effect but I hear its great. Multiplayer gives a game the value to keep playing it (lets be honest you can only play a game's sp so many times). Correct me if U am wrong but wasnt there some doubt about uncharted multiplayer?
They are taking away, despite what they say, from what could be more added to single player. Just so they can tack on some multiplayer so idiots who cant stand a single player game will get it
way to fuck up
