I will get it if they keep the ME2 combat mechanics and improve them.

People who have a preference for one type of game over another and who might not like the direction that bioware is going and dare to say so, are just crybabies? Sure, Hmmmm,.... Ok.

Pretty much. Nipton Tea decides to try their hand at creating a soft-drink to expand their companies profile/product line after promising tea lovers they will receive two brand new flavors of iced tea in the next year or so. Tea fans raaaage.

I think you'd have to do some serious adapting for it to work. Don't forget a lot of the ME abilities aren't real time. Then again, the advantage of a multiplayer game would be that since you're only controlling one character, there are more hotkeys available (at least with the console controllers, I guess on the PC this is kind of a non-issue anyway.)

Honestly, I'm not that interested in a ME MP spin-off. Hey, grats to shooter fans that have wanted it...it seems EA saw an opportunity to cash in on the shooter market, and BW had a studio that needed something to do. I bet that the studio has been working on it for a while. Me personally, I like story driven games, games where I don't have to rely on someone else to enjoy it. Have you ever tried playing a MP game on Xbox Live lately? I played months and months of GoW mp on a team and the amount of vitriol and hate that spews forth over the headphones is ridiculous. Hey but to each their own.

If it has any kind of single player component, and it's a third person shooter (not a first person shooter), then I will probably play it.

All I can say is that us "rpg" fans of BW better hope that this new venture into a different genre doesn't double the sales of games like DA or ME because if it does, it won't take the bean-counters long to figure out that the money is to be made (better return on investment) in that new genre (new for them).

Edit: And for those worrying about a delay to ME3 then I wouldn't. I'm pretty sure others have hit the nail on the head when they have pointed out the Montreal studio isn't (seemingly) working on anything at the moment, I'd bet it's that studio which are developing this game alongside the studio creating ME3.

It could. They definitely wouldn't release two ME games too close to one another; expect their launch dates to be about a year apart, at least.

that would be awesome and even if you don;t want the mass effect franchise for whatever reason to go into multiplayer you have to admit if it is anything like black ops or halo reach or along those lines it would be amazing

If it's like Black Ops then it will suck. CoD is a shallow multiplayer experience now. Halo Reach on the other hand fine, I don't like shooters much but Halo I do enjoy. Hopefully Bioware can get some tips from DICE because I do enjoy Battlefield especially 2142.

Or it could be Syndicate what why did that flash across my face

I just don't hope that EA is messing with BioWare too much, especially since EA is not known to be a company direct towards the customers - they just release their games and reap in the money, until they reach the ELITE status (pun ftw) and are filled with bugs and get cancelled.



I sure do hope that Bioware does not change the formula for ME3 - they should not listen to EA crap (Medal of Honor sucked btw - so EA needs a shooter) and should stick to what made ME1 and 2 good.

[Arbiter156]

a mass effect multiplayer could be awesome. but if it turns Mass effect into some horrible FPS shooter which then goes on to wreck the RPG elements of ME3 i will be P*ssed. as far as im concerned mass effect 2 was brilliant the only flaw was that it dumped too much of the RPG elements in ME1.

[MyChemicalBromance]

When I think about why I like Mass Effect, combat is asspiring to a mid-level position on the list. Other games have and will do it better. Why make some mediocre EA shooter and then stamp Mass Effect on it?



CoD fans want CoD, Mass Effect fans want Mass Effect. Trying to make one more like the other is nothing but an obvious grab at the cash cow. The question is, would Bioware have done this before getting rEAped?.

[Onyx Jaguar]

In call of duty you can't lift an enemy into the air then send them off into space to be incinerated by lightning



There is a glorious violent majesty to the Mass Effect games that other games lack.

[Busomjack]

I've said this before on another thread but seeing as this covers the same subject I'll repeat it here.



People are not looking at what this could mean for the series. Even if this is a multi-player first person shooter it doesn't change the fact that Mass Effect 3 is still going to come out. What this game could do however is create a lot of new Mass Effect fans thus dramatically increasing Mass Effect 3's sales and prolonging the life of the franchise even further.

Whining about this is like a Nintendo fan whining about how Mario Tennis is Nintendo selling out to the sports game junkies.



Great move by Bioware I think.

Online games have never interested me, but this... this I would play...

Me neither. If this hypothetical shooter spinoff doesn't have a strong single player element, I'm not buying it. Yet somehow I don't see a single logical reason to complain here. Funny how that goes.

But as a single player rpg fan I have few places to turn for anything of quality. Bioware being the best. I would prefer they would concentrate on that.

This new game is not diverting any resources away from the Dragon Age and core Mass Effect. ME3 is on track, DA2 is on track.

Would I rather see an announcement of a proper ME2 expansion pack than what this appears to be? Yeah, sure. But that's about the only complaint I have, and since we know that both more ME2 DLC and ME3 are coming, I don't see a reason to go bonkers here.

Of course it helps that I've only just finally gotten around to DA:O, so I'll be getting my RPG fix plenty fine for a while still. If you're completely starved for new RPG stuff and are disappointed that this doesn't seem to be it, okay, I can understand that. But the ranting and raving about Bioware "selling out" and how this will "destroy Mass Effect" and inevitably lead to ME3 being turned into a pure shooter is pants-on-head retarded.

[MerinTB]

A multi-player shooter is just not something I'll ever have an interest in.

So this is really just slipped into my "not interested" pile.  It's a large pile.

It does all but cement for me that BioWare is no longer a company that I'll see it's name on a game box and go "Oh, I'll probably like this" but, honestly, I was kinda getting this feeling already for awhile.

It's fine they make whatever games they want to - that's their right.
Just like it's my right to not be interested in those games and disappointed that they are spending time and resources on them.

*shrug*

[Xrissie]

As a fan of both FPS games and RPG games (yes, we exist), I'm quite excited about this.



IF this rumor turns out to be accurate, that is.

[Busomjack]

Even if it is a multi-player shooter it will probably have a strong single player campaign that will expand on the Mass Effect universe.

Certainly that's more interesting than Vietnam or World War II.

I'm tired of the criticism here.  If you're not excited about this game then you're not a true Bioware fan!

Seriously, this bashing of a game that is at this point merely hypothetical and centered around unproven rumors is disgraceful!

All of you so-called Bioware fans who aren't looking forward to this, go pack your bags and go play Final Fantasy XIII or some crap like that.

This. So simple, yet so true. I dont play CoD because I dont like FPS and I dont like multiplayer, because I play games for their story. STORY. Thats why I play Mass Effect.

I'll accept that judgement for myself.

My being negative on DA2 and not excited about this game does, pretty much, lead me to believe that I am indeed no longer a fan of BioWare.

Accepted, reluctantly but honestly.
