BioWare: Expect 'Mass Effect 3' In Late 2011/Early 2012; Plenty Of DLC Between Games

 

Casey Hudson, the project director of "Mass Effect 2," stopped by the MTV offices today to discuss the forthcoming release of the game next Tuesday. While the interview covered a wide range of subjects, we decided to pull out one interesting segment in which Hudson talks about when we can expect to see the end of the trilogy.

 

 

"We're already working on 'Mass Effect 3' right now. We do want to develop it in concert with listening to the way people are experiencing 'Mass Effect 2'. We've got a lot of DLC coming out for 'Mass Effect 2' that we're also working on, and then we'll kind of blend that into developing and finishing 'Mass Effect 3'. We don't want to take forever with it. We want people to be able to conclude this trilogy that have been with us over the years... [Development will be] along the same kind of time frame as 'Mass Effect 2'."

 

Given that the time between the first and second "Mass Effect" games was just over two years (November 2007 to January 2010), Hudson's statements certainly imply that we'll be seeing "Mass Effect 3" in late 2011 or early 2012.

 

While that does seem like a long wait, the good news is that BioWare plans on releasing a considerable amount of DLC on their new platform, called the Cerberus Network, including plenty of free content at launch:

 

"It's tough to say how long we'll continue to do Cerberus Network in terms of the free content, for example. When you get Cerberus Network you get all this free stuff that's been released. On an ongoing basis we plan to have the whole spectrum, from a free item all the way up to paid stuff and potentially larger packs that tell a big portion of the story. And we want to do that in a way that connects 'Mass Effect 2' to 'Mass Effect 3.' I think we'll be pretty close to the release of 'Mass Effect 3' before we really start focusing on that as the next story."

Conceived as a trilogy (perhaps to continue on afterwards in future games), the third chapter to Mass Effect will hopefully deliver a thrilling and conclusive (but not too final ... we wouldn't want the adventure to end at just three games) capper on the Mass Effect storyline. Expect more explosive gunplay, more plot twists, more memorable characters, more heart-wrenching choices, more scenic vistas of beauty and majesty ... and maybe even some more sexy dancing!

Labai laukiu Mass Effect 3 nes pirma ir antra dalys labai idomios ir istorija ir gameplay yra labai gerai padaryti

Mass Effect II endingas paliko mane pražiota burna.

Tikrai nerealus geimas. Nė vienas dar taip neįkvepė.

Aš tikrai žiūriu į ME kaip į tam tikrą meno formą. The greatest science-fiction story ever told..

Nespėjau net spėju įpūsėti to ME2, o jau ir šnekos apie ME3 yra... ))

Multiplayer Coming In Mass Effect 3?

 

 

BioWare has proven its a master of single-player RPGs, but a new job posting on EA's official site indicates that the developer's Montreal-based office is preparing to branch out into multiplayer, possibly with the third installment of Mass Effect.

 

The posting (which you can view here) is for a multiplayer programmer at BioWare's relatively new Montreal studio. While the first two Mass Effect titles were developed at BioWare's Edmonton offices, it wouldn't be the first time that another studio has handled a major title's multiplayer component.

 

Initially, the intro paragraph of the posting singled out Mass Effect as one of BioWare Montreal's projects, but now simply reads "We are working on BioWare's top franchises." The posting also points out that experience with the Unreal engine is a plus, which also happens to be the tech under Mass Effect's hood. While none of these elements are conclusive evidence, it is still exciting to speculate about the direction of BioWare's epic sci-fi franchise.

Taip kad gali būti, jog ME3 turėsim galimybę pasišaudyti tinkle, o gal bus koks co-op režimas netu

Įdomu ką jie čia sugalvojo. Gal sukurs FPS su gera istorija kas labai reta šiais laikais, nes BioWare visada kuria geimus su tokia istorija, kad pradėjęs lošt, nori dar, dar ir dar...
