I hope its not a third person shooter. TPS multiplayer is really terrible.

[Emperor Mars]

This was inevitable of course, the ME series has to much potential to be just a straight up RPG series, I was fully expecting an RTS or multiplayer shooter thing..

If its handled well, then great, personally smashing someone with a biotic charge in a multiplayer setting sounds like fun.

It would be awesome.  class based shooter where you can select any race in the Mass Effect Universe.  And maps would be like they are in Star Wars Battlefront which was a super fun game.

I could see it world.

You've just reminded me of all the crazy times me and my mates had in both Battlefront 1 and 2. If Bioware is really making a game like that, I'm in!

[Shotokanguy]

There's plenty of potential in the Mass Effect universe. I wouldn't be opposed to using those sweet guns in first person.

[Sharuko]

ME is a major IP for BioWare. We should get used to it branching out. There will be non-rpg ME games for sure.

That is what I am hoping for.

I'm pretty certain this unnamed title is being produced by Montreal, whereas ME 1/2/3 is Edmonton. Thus, it's somewhat reasonable to say that any production on ME3 won't really be "delayed" if this new title is indeed an addition to the Mass Effect franchise.



I fully expect it to be a third-person shooter. Bioware has crafted the mechanics in ME2 to be virtually seamless, especially with the button mapping on the consoles. This carries over into multiplayer quite nicely. Essentially, limit your weapons to two so then only one button is required to switch weapons instead of a radial pause menu. In addition, instead of the 4+ powers Shepard is capable of having, I imagine that the powers would be crunched down to 2-3. Probably two active and one passive power with a leveling system a hybrid of the RPG leveling of the main game and a "perk" system of Call of Duty or Bad Company.



Again, this is all speculation, but if *I* were to tie in multiplayer to the series, the aforementioned seems the most true-to-Mass-Effect way to do it.

[Wonderllama4]

My vision of a Mass Effect shooter would be a hybrid of a Gears of War cover system combined with Halo style weapons and Call of Duty type customization.



That does sound cool.

[kidbd15]

Could Respawn Entertainment, formerly known as Infinity Ward, be helping out in this endeavor... they are a part of EA Partners Program.



I would like it if it were true.

Soldiers get better guns than the Sentinel... Why give them the Tech Armor? That's the only reason I picked a Sentinel for insanity!

I assume thats directed at my previous comment. I didn't intend for soldiers to steal tech armor, but, speaking strictly from a multiplayer balancing perspective, having access to biotics, tech, and the highest defense of the gamewould make Sentinels too much of a powerhouse in a PvP environment.

Unless it's nerfed, then maybe.

[Xivai]

Biotics better not be some lame support class. I'm expecting glass cannon here. Hell get rid of classes altogether for this FPS. I just can't see them being able to make any fun Biotic or Tech classes for the multiplayer. Not with the colossal screw up adepts were in mass effect 2. Unless they took a gigantic lesson in how NOT to balance a game.



IF they can pull off a fairly original FPS game I'm all in for it. Hell they had me sold the second they mentioned it, but for the love of all that is holy in gaming. Please, please, please, please! No shooting through walls. I refuse to play games with that "feature".

[Darastryx]

Everytime I think EA might've turned over a new leaf, I'm reminded of they can just as bad as Activision.

Behold: BioWare selling themselves out. Had to happen sooner later, though some might argue it happened already.

This is pretty shameless. A blatant cash grab from the still lactating udder of the shooter multiplayer cash cow. I don't play Mass Effect for multiplayer, hell, I don't even play it so much for the action. I'm here to get my goddamn story on, not play with people over the internet who like nothing to more than to call each other racial slurs.

This is a bad move by BioWare. Granted I can't hold it against them since the rumor is that EA is making almost all games have a multiplayer element to them. But really, hasn't the game market had enough of sci-fi space marine shooters with multiplayer? Oh, but it'll most likely be class based! Yes, and Valve does it better than anyone else.

You know BioWare, I hold you in the esteem as I do Valve in terms of quality and innovation, but after this....lost a lot of respect for you. After shameless pandering you did for slobering fans in ME2(Garrus and Tali romances I'm looking at you), I figured that's as bad as it'd probably get. Oh my no, it got better.

I'll still play and buy DA2 and ME3, but don't you ever expect me to play a ME multiplayer. Let's just hope this time Kotaku's reliability isn't so reliable this time.

A single player campaign that would deal with either the occupation of Shanxi or the Skyllian Blitz? A prequal like that would've been excellent. But this? No. If this ends up being true, I can't in good concience get behind it.

BioWare you are known for telling stories, griping characters, and social dynamics that you can't find in other games. There are few other devs that pull off 'interactive story-telling' like you have with your games. This does not fit with your modis operandi.

Say that I'm over-reacting and maybe I, I'll admit it, but this just something that I can't see being a smart move.

[Fiery Phoenix]

You're not over-reacting, Dar. You're just being realistic, and I agree. At least, they could have left this until AFTER the ongoing story has come to an end (i.e. after ME3 has been released and all).

[Zombie Chow]

I remain cautiously optimistic, knowing that I'm in the minority here. I enjoy 3rd person shooters like Gears of War in multi-player. I also like EA multi-player shooters like the Battlefield series.



If there was yet another multi-player shooter, I would want it to be a 3rd person shooter done by EA with the Mass Effect universe. The move makes sense to me...as long as it's done well.



But I do share the same concerns of many of you here:



- it should not just be Battlefield: Mass Effect edition, it should have its own gameplay style

- it should be completely separate from Shepherd's storyline

- otherwise it'll just spoil Mass Effect for the rest of us (kind of like with the Halo spin-offs)



My wishlist is to have it retain ME2's 3rd person style, but the large-scale battles like Battlefield, covering some sort of minor storyline like the Alliance Privateer initiative Jacob Taylor mentioned. Just throwing it out here to see if all my hopes are dashed.

[Prince Keldar]

I do not want ME3 to be a shooter like COD. I got interested in Mass Effect because it was an RPG. I like good stories and Mass Effect and Dragon Age tell great stories through gameplay.



As long as ME3 is in the same style as ME1 and 2, meaning Single player, somewhat open ended, and an actual RPG, it is fine. If this is just a spinoff it is ok.



I think ME3 will be a Single Player RPG because of the all of the decisions that have been made in ME1 and 2, that will have an effect on ME3.

Totally agree. Plus, all this talks about spin-off when ME3 isn't even announced and rather many people still waiting for DLC for ME2 is annoying and distracting.

[Blackout62]

Okay I've got a crazy left field theory; But it takes two liberties: that Blur made the brief snippet and that they still make characters noticeably different than how they appear in the game proper. That being assumed I'll take the wild guess that the gentleman with the sniper rifle is Kaiden Alenko.

Nonsense. Mass Effect 3 was announced the same time they announced Mass Effect 1. You can't have a trilogy without a second or third game.


Anyway, if true, then this will be great news. I'll take all the Mass Effect that EA and Bioware can throw at me. 

It's also a really smart move for the longterm viability of the franchise. 

[Miss Yuna of Atlanta]

Mass Effect is a squad-based third-person shooter. Everything about that just screams "with a bunch of people playing at once, fun will happen." The biotic and tech powers just add a layer to it to keep things nice and unique as well. If this rumor is true, I am excited...but also a bit nervous that Uncharted 2 might have to move over a bit.

[Bebbe777]

BW, if you are gonna do this, look at Star Wars Battlefront.

[SkittlesKat96]

 A spin off with just multiplayer would be fun. Judging by the teaser though it looks like it could be a single player game.

Another thing to consider is that this might be an RTS game, or that perhaps it's not even a Mass Effect game (though the rifle and Vostok thing put Mass Effect highly in favor)

[Da_Lion_Man]

I want gunships, a Geth army and Reapers as killstreaks!

No. Socom 2 is one of the best online games I've ever played.
