If that ever happens, I'm sure that the mods will realize BW's mistake and show us mercy by allowing us to talk about Mass Effect where no CoD fanboy or troll would ever dare go, the Dragon Age Origins section.

Or we could probably drive them off the site completely by changing everybody's profile ID pic to the Zevran-Male Warden romance scene. You know how 9-year olds are with their homophobia

What if both BF3 and ME3 are scrapped for Battlefield: Mass Effect 3?

As long as it doesn't affect ME3, then I have no problem with it. I won't be happy if it's used as a bridge between ME2 & ME3, or if not playing it will leave me at a disadvantage in ME3 however.



The MP spin off should be kept seperate from the main trilogy.

Was that supposed to make me picture a bad game? I want this now.

[Gibb_Shepard]

I dont have a problem with a game like this, but for god sake, wait till the goddamn trilogy has ended.

I guess Mass Effect 2 was still too complicated for people...

Huh?

Bioware dumbed down ME2 because ME1 was apparently too sophisticated of an RPG for the shooter fans. So now it seems like the shooter fans are getting an FPS game. Another mindless shooter. What would life be like without yet another one of those? Good job Bioware.

-Polite

Bioware did not "dumb down" the rpg elements because It was too complicated. That is a hilarious and stupid argument. Many people including me enjoyed ME 2 way more than ME 1. And it wasn't because the rpg elements were to complicated in ME 1. They managed to create a great shooting/rpg hybrid witch got both higher reviews (highest of any rpg this generation) and better sales. They did this without any shooter experience whatsoever. I think thats sort of impressive.

I think people are just attached too much to their "classic" RPG designs. For me, RPGs don't need a top down view, they don't need a big inventory (hated Dragon Age for that sometimes and too much useless stuff later on ME1).

Sure, a bit more weapons/armors would be nice, but still, less is sometimes more. If ME3 adds more here and brings back some additional powers (and please not for every single weapon, electronics or medic stuff), then i'm very happy.

Which, in fact, based on their own 11-year old insecurity. Don't bother with them.
Since you guys are mentioning this in a thread, it means you already have double the IQ of those 'OMG QUICKSCOPE ZOMG CRAPTEAM' players. Every RPG-player here is smarter then those guys. Ignore them

If this rumor is true, I think it's an excellent idea. There are no real...sci-fi ish rpg shooters out there that have the same atmosphere and feel of Mass Effect. Most shooters are all post-apocalyptic right now, with Rage and Homefront on the way.
I think Mass Effect Shooter will fill it's own little niche of player who are willing to play something else then the next 'WW2 or Fallout shooter.' Plus, Mass Effect has telikinetic powers. That WILL be interesting in multiplayer.

I'd love it if the shooter was based on the Skylian Blitz and that we RPG players could 'import' our Shepard to rund the single-player story with him.

All in all a good idea Bio. The force is with this one.

[Esbatty]

I'd buy the hell out of a Mass Effect FPS. I love shooters so I could defintely see the joy of playing out the first Contact War versus the Turians, taking on Merc groups, etc.

Imagine factoring in Biotics and Tech based gizmos. Mechs and the Geth. Ooh, I'm getting goosebumps.

If this turns out to be true then I am not with this at all, the moment I read cod I just got this feeling of oh crap. Why the hell would you want to appeal to the cod fans, don't you have your own fan base or the hell with them, there's more money in the other direction. I am sorry, I never like to judge something off of a rumor or so and without having any real info, but right now I am furious. I hate ea and knew that bad things will come from them acquiring bioware and it seems to me thats exactly whats gonna happen here if this was to be true.

Man I hate cod, I hate activision and ea (they have good company's under them, well activision only has blizzard, which is not under them, but anyway thats exactly what business is all about, expanding and just like microsoft whos's motto in life is: (we don't have the brains, but we got the money to buy the competetion, this is a business to them, only a business

Second off, finish the trilogy first before expanding it

I am sorry, but I am too angry to wait and find out if this is just a rumor, plus the moment I saw that pic, I thought it seemed like a shooter. I usually don't like doing this (this kind of a post), but this to me is unacceptable, I feel like life is getting sucked out of bioware and they are going from actual quality and rpg to catering to the "casual fan" (I hate that word, casual). Don't they have a gazillion so-called games out there that are just like that, why don't they go and buy those and leave the real, intellectual games to the people who are passionate about them, the same goes for companies of course.

The only way I could slightly accept this, is if this (rumor) game was the only "casual" thing going to the "casual" idiots and ME3 being a true bioware game with all what comes with that, rpg and all, and not a shooter or whatever, but even then no, I am sorry, but if it was up to me, I would never ever do anything for people who don't get my art, the hell with them. That is just like the whole stupid idea of turning video games into movies and catering to the "general public" who are to ignorant to play video games and see it as it's own form of art and entertainment, while companies go and basically say: "oh here you go ignorant idiots, here's my art, tailored in a way just for you, please be more ignorant"

Again I am sorry and I know nothing about the game, that's if it turned to be real and even if it turned to be good, but I can't stand this anymore, everything good is turning into something is for the casual fan now. To attract them, why the hell would you want that, aside from your precious money, yes your never ending greed for more money and business crap ea

So i wanted to throw something out there.



SO what happens if this turns into a COD/HALO sized success for Bioware and EA?

If this where to happen then EA would force bioware to make more and more FPS type games and they would be forced (or willingly) make games meant for the Gears of War/Halo/CoD crowd over the niche genre that is RPG's.



It would not be the first time.

[EatChildren]

Oh you silly BioWare fanboys, complaining about Call of Duty fanboys. Tee hee. You're both as intolerable as each other.



Personally, I'd be down for a Mass Effect shooter. I'd dig it. I've grown out of Call of Duty, not a fan of the direction the series went, but I'd like to see a shooter in the Mass Effect universe.



BioWare really seem to put a lot of resources behind their major Mass Effect titles and DLC, and I can imagine that if a Mass Effect shooter exists its not because they want to cash-in on the market or anything, but because they think it would be really cool, and a great spin-off for a franchise that's perfect for multiple genres. Plus, if Montreal are doing it, that frees up a vast majority of the core ME/ME2 staff to get down and dirty with ME3. BioWare are a massive company. They can and do handle multiple projects.



Besides, end of the day all that matters is if the game is fun or not. Doesn't matter the genre, the style, or anything. Just whether or not it is fun. If a Mass Effect shooter is of high quality, and tons of fun, and helps attract more people to this amazing franchise, then hell yeah BioWare should do it.



Oh, and if its a first person shooter, I'm totally down with seeing how BioWare handle that kind of gameplay. Will be a great first outing for them .

[Ieldra]

I have no problem with Bioware making a game that appeals more to the COD type players. It might even help ME3 to stay more RPG-like since the shooter fans can be drawn to a different game and Bioware still makes a profit from them.



I won't buy it, but that's no reason to say it shouldn't exist.

[DylanZeppelin]

Yeah so if barbie video games become the next big thing, with lots of profit and lots of "big" **** companies making barbie games, then bioware should also jump right on, because we only do what people tell us and do, don't we. If suddenly the fashion was walking naked and wearing a doll guy's head on your crotch, then everyone should do it and if someone says something then it is blasphemy and they are fanboys

coming from a devoted cod player. It will be crap if its anything like cod as it is today or for that matter ever. Mass Effect needs to keep its identity and not go for this cod trash which i am now sick of thanks to activision

'Barbie games' are not a genre. 'Appealing to the Call of Duty market' does not equate to literally being Call of Duty.

Not all shooters equal Call of Duty, dudebros, and just because a game may intend to appeal to that market does not mean it will be a clone.

I find the people that criticise and degrade the shooter market the most are the ones who dont have any interest in it to begin with. They see 'Mass Effect shooter' and immediately degrade it, purly because its a genre they're not a fan of. Ironically, most of these people would be quite happy with "Mass Effect X", where X is another genre they happen to prefer (RTS, adventure, flight sim, etc).

I can totally understand worries about it being a Call of Duty clone, because I share some of them myself, but shooter =/= Call of Duty, and Call of Duty market =/= Call of Duty clone.

We're all jumping the gun anyway. Its highly probable this is a multiplayer shooter from BioWare Montreal based on the Mass Effect franchise, but outside of speculation and probabilities the only 'confirmation' we have is a tiny CGI clip that shows nothing in terms of gameplay and design.

Let's wait until December 11, kay?

[DylanZeppelin]

I understand what you're saying eatchildren and I do play shooters, just not halo or cod.

TF2, H-L, Portal, KZ, Bioshock, DX, Systenshock and zillions more as well as third person shooters such as MGO, U2(multi) and well a billion other games, but I like ME for exactly what it is. I know that I am jumping here, but to be honest, the mention of cod by itself gets me mad, not only for the fear that it might be a clone, no, but because it's a game (rumor) that was mad from ground up, just for that fan base.

An example would be ea's new MOH (which I obviously didn't play either), now that game from the get go looked like crap and I didn't get what all the hype was all about, but then again it's the same case of hype with cod, the latest rockstar games (gta4 and red dead) and lots of others. I even looked up some vids to see what it all about and could believe what I saw, it was that sniping vid and I saw the guy shooting far away from the opponent's head and getting a head shot, with the opponent's head exploding. This in 2010, this and people only knew it was bad when the reviews kicked in. And what was that, ea wanting a piece of the cake of activision and that's exactly my fear.

Oh and that wasn't my point by mentioning barbie games, it was more sarcasm

Until Dec then.

Why the constans oh-noes? If they feel the incentive to make a muliplayer game/shooter in the ME universe, make it a little tactic parhaps, all the better! If someone doesnt like the idea just ignore the fact and stfu. I havent yet come across sci-fi (with CoD MW like multi) shooter that would interest me. Last one that was fun was AvP2.

[DylanZeppelin]

It's what follows it and what that means, if it were to be a success that is worries me. Everthing is connected.

 It could be a good thing.  What better way to expand the universe than to have COD-style games focusing on things like the First Contact War, Krogan Rebellions, or Rachni Wars?   Of course, I'm seeing the First Contact War being far more likely, if only cause it's got humans, but knowing Bioware, they'd likely let you join either side of the conflict. 

So long as there's no multiplayer touching Shepard, it's fine by me.

That would be a 'quadtag', a 'teethcracker' or a 'facecrater'.

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it's a spin-off. It can't technically interfere with our Mass Effect 3 too much. Right? Right? This'll at least give those shooter fans something to wet their pants about.

On the other, having a shooter of this style is more than likely going to be completely devoid of any plot/character/etc development. When I think of Mass Effect, I don't think 'plotless', and that's really the only direction this can go in.

On the other other hand, this also could possibly mean that this is meant to satiate the shooter-fan, Mass Effect 3 might return more to its RPG roots. That, done right, could be interesting to see.

While I'm all for anything Mass Effect and am interested to see what sort of new turns this franchise could take, I really really do not want to see my Mass Effect milked to the point where it becomes 10% Mass Effect and 90% everything else.

EA, please step off of my shiny Mass Effect doormat.

Err....no.

COD clones show laziness and desperation for quick money.
