Eurogamer:
BioWare is working to fix a problem with Mass Effect 3 that prevents users from importing character faces from Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 into the game.
Gamers have discovered that Mass Effect 3, out in the UK today, is incompatible with faces built on the Mass Effect 1 editor.
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
mine imported fine and this time I can actually modify the face I imported unlike with ME1. I narrowed his chin and cheekbones a bit and brought his schnoz towards the face a bit. im surprised he could get any helmet on in ME2!!
For the first time in a ME game im 100% good with the face, I just wish i'd changed the facial hair
well by the time they fix this most ppl will have finished their mass effect 3 play through, my female characters face loaded in mass 3 but her hair did not I had short black hair in mass 1 and 2 and it imported her with long blond hair in mass 3, but I did not mind to much as I keept the long hair and just dyed it black which really she looks alot better, but I know friends who their characters face was not imported and really pissed them off, so this really should not have happend at all since this is ment to be about your character and your choices you make through the game, big bug if you ask me. who test these games?
Does this only affect the looks? Does it do anything to the data in the game save itself? I got ME3 at launch but I haven't played it yet because of this problem.
What's the point now? I've already started my first playthrough, I'm loving the game, but pretty disappointed how this could get past them.
