Where? And I read on an EA employee's twitter that there were supposed to be 2 announcements today. What's the second one?

First, from SpectreM4:

 The binary codes all point towards Mass Effect

• The guy is holding an Incisor Sniper Rifle
• The one code comes out as 55.845. The relative atomic MASS of iron is 55.845 amu.
• -128.5°F,
  the lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth at Vostok in Antarctica.
  Now, in physics, when a scientific phenomenon is observed (like a lowest
  temperature, or just a temperature in general) it is called an EFFECT.
• Also, one of the planets in Mass Effect 2 is famous for its IRON canyons, and its temperature is -128.5°F

God I love the internet. You guys are insane at picking up on stuff like this, bravo bravo. It's a good thing this game isn't getting RELEASED on Dec 11th... middle of exams.

Confirmed Mass Effect MP spin-off

Personally, I think that's a crock of ****.

If BioWare goes against everything I just said and copies a multiplayer/ progression focused shooter, my intense enthusiasm for mass effect will likely die.

Why? Because Bioware decided to broaden their horizon and try new concepts? Besides, it's a given that ME3 will resume Shepard's story and continue to function in a similar manner to previous ME games; the inclusion of a spin-off will likely have little impact on ME3's overall production.

Gotta love it when a company that
specializes in one category, produces a game in another just to boost
sales with a larger "fanbase". But I doubt that's Mass Effect. The way
they structured the trailer, it seems like its a new IP.

So Blizzard was wrong for creating an MMO? Nintendo was wrong to allow Retro Studios to turn Metroid into an FPS? And I guess Microsoft was foolish for giving die-hard Halo fans a chance to experiance a Halo RTS? Just because a company specializes in one catagory that doesn't mean their entire career has to rely on said specialization.

December.

Why are people complaining. God. It's like if the ice cream truck comes by and offers you double the selection and you start rolling around in the ground in sheer terror and rage.

Vanguard multiplayer?! :D

[Sharuko]

 How awesome would it be if this was a multiplayer, class based shooter where you can select most races in the ME universe which will resemble a SW Battlefront battle with their maps and multiplayer. 

[Raanz]

After reading the Kotaku report, I must say I am far less interested then I was this morning.

[Xivai]

Little do they know if they would shut the **** up and dry their eyes the same old flavour is still there. No one says they HAVE to buy the new flavour. That's whats pissing me off here.

Obviously there was a miscommunication. Here are my positions stated more clearly:

Mass Effect is awesome. Expanding it beyond the trilogy is a great idea. Changing up the gameplay for the other games outside of the trilogy (rts, mmo, etc) is a great idea.

Cloning Call of Duty and giving it a Mass Effect wrapper (which was my interpretation of the article) is downright insane.

If the article was not implying that and I misread, than I am completely content with a multiplayer mass effect game. However, if a "we can too!" multiplayer game is being created, than I am disappointed.

I understand a separate studio is developing this title and that it will not effect ME3.

EDIT: Quoted myself from earlier.

I think BioWare has shown that they have a
unique approach to creating games. They've never gone for sales; if
they had, they could hop on the proverbial bandwagon and make a
stereotypical modern day shooter with a heavy focus on multiplayer.
Hell, it’s what Medal of Honor did. The game was forgettable but still
managed to sell well.

I think its BioWare's integrity to making
great games that would create a worthwhile and worthy multiplayer
feature. There are still games where the multiplayer feels fresh, and I
think that a developer like BioWare would offer an interesting take on a
game with several players involved. For example, look what they're
doing with The Old Republic. They're turning a genre that I always
thought of as stale into a comprehensive multiplayer experience.

So
while I don't blame you for having distaste for multiplayer, I wouldn't
knock it all together until we've seen what BioWare has to offer.

If it's a multiplayer shooter spinoff, I'm not going to cry about it, I just won't buy it.

[Raanz]

I'm willing to bet that this shooter will be third person, and not first person. Bets anyone? Cookies?

*deleted in favor of redirecting to my above post.*

in conclusion: Mass effect multiplayer = good potential

I have no problem with multiplayer its fun in spurts. The problem I have is games like CoD and Halo that build the game with multiplayer as the main priority. My best example would be Uncharted 2 which has a fun and entertaining multiplayer but the true shining part of the game is the absolutely epic campaign that drives the game, the best straight up shooter I have ever played. If the rumors are true I'm hoping this ME multiplayer game at least follows that route.

[Pepper4]

I hope it is gonna be a TPS, since I can't get GoW for PC, and we don't need another CoD.

[Soapy86]

If this is some kind of multiplayer offshoot, something akin to a Call of Duty or Battlefield, then I'll be thrilled. I love a good multiplayer shooter (I know that makes me some kind of moron, hurr durr), and the idea of playing one that takes place inside my favorite science fiction franchise is awesome.



Though keep in mind having multiplayer doesn't preclude a game from having a great campaign as well.



The bottom line, is that as long as Mass Effect 3 retains the core "Mass Effect" role-playing experience, then I'll be more than happy if EA and Bioware want to expand the franchise by delving into other types of games. And furthermore, I think extending Mass Effect's reach into different genres would be a really smart move for the longterm viability of the series, both financially AND creatively.

[Atmosfear3]

I hope its not a TPS. TPS multiplayer games are terrible for competitive play.

[ObserverStatus]

I'm sure it's not a TPS, I still have faith in Bioware. Who was the nasty troll who started this rumor anyway?

A troll we know as Kotaku.

Judging by the dateed models of the sniper, armour, and the fact he's fighting in a concrete building, I'm thinking that if this is ME related, its Shanxi. I do see the guy aiming at bi-pedal enemies, but can't get a distinct look at them

Darn you kotaku! You're making people rage.

In game the M-29 that the soldier is holding is described as a "new wave" of snipers in ME2. Of course they could ret con that tiny bit of line, but just something to think about.

[SmokePants]

Kotaku is full of crap. BioWare Montreal had 27 employees 2 months ago. They were starting to increase staffing to 55, which is still not enough to handle a multiplayer and single player game by themselves. Even if it was, they would have only now started on such a project. It would be well behind ME3's production schedule.

Speaking of which, BioWare needs Montreal to help make ME3. If they suddenly start doing their own thing, who is going to pick up that slack?

I can believe that they are working on a multiplayer component, but it is for ME3, not some spin-off.
