For what's it's worth that statement made me cancel my pre-order. If they go the same route they did with D1->D2 I'm not going to buy it. I can always get a copy later if it turns out they didn't remove more of the RPG elements, but I'm not going to risk getting saddled with a "CoD in space" game.

I'm worried about that statement for two reasons, if they are redesigning the game, then we'll end up with anohter "Dead Space" clone. If they're NOT redesigning it, but just postponing it for market reasons, then we may end up with another "Alpha Protocol", a game that was pushed back almost a year but was still only half way finished, because the developers didn't continue working on it after the orignial deadline lapsed. This mean that the game weas for all intents and purposes sitting on a shelf collecting dust for a year and the end prodct certainly didn't do much to bolster sales in spite of Sega citing "marketing reasons" behind the delay.

So the question is: which way is it going to be for ME3?

[goofyomnivore]

To echo what others have said: Take your time, and learn from what happened to Dragon Age 2.

Now I hope that wider audience thing was a defensive way of saying we don't want to compete with Skyrim and other IPs in 2011, and it doesn't mean they're bringing Call of Duty to the Mass Effect universe.

Off Topic:

I got a new ME3 twit update from Masseffect_news saying:New Update:- Mass Effect 3 is delayed till Q2-2012 to extent upto a much larger audience!.

Wonder if that is just speculation through

[Bill569]

I'm very glad that Bioware is taking its time to finish the game. It shows what a great company it is and also that it learns from past mistakes (Dragon Age II). One more thing: please Bioware, DO NOT add multiplayer in ME3.

[United_Strafes]

I will ROFL if they add some kind of multiplayer after pretty much every fan of the game has said not too, it will show just how bad the decisions being made in some companies really are.

So about the me3 release date, don't be grumpy, we are just adding more awesome You like awesome, right?

:sick:The last time someone at EA/Bioware used the word "awesome" it lead to that piece of filth Dragon Age 2 disaster.  So, what she is saying is that they are going to ruin Mass Effect 2 as well.  Great, no pre-order from me.  I WILL skip this game if they decide to make the combat "AWESOME".

I dont know where to write this:
It could be great if Mass Effect 3 will work after windows re-instal and save files will be inside game derectory. Just more conveniently. Also i got a problem in Mass Effect 1 on Steam, when it needs CD in drive when u dont have it. And much thanks for 50% discount!

uhhh and wasn't the combat en ME2 already 'awesome' compared to in ME1?? (I liked ME1 better btw, though I still love ME2). it's not like they can make the combat even more 'streamlined' unless the suddenly make ME3 an fps.

Sure, they can make plenty improvements to the combat, and that is what they are doing. a.k.a. moving from cover to cover seamlessly, special melee attack for each class, any class can use any weapon, etc etc.

btw the ME team and the DA team are two separate teams. there is no reason to believe that whatever may have happened to the DA series will also happen to Mass Effect, especially with all the awards that ME2 got. they are going to BUILD up from ME2, and make ME3 even better, they're not going to just do something completely different form what already worked so well.

there's no where to go but up.


Cheers

I believe that you should post that on a steam forum, or send them an e-mail to their customer support. they'll be able to address your problem since it seems steam-related.

[luzburg]

if they still keep the story mechanics like the first two games i really dont care about the combat and rpg invetory,

if we still get to make choises and and go and do whatever we want, and still have a huge galaxy to travel back and forth in i dont swett it.

i dont belve they going to scrach everthing they said to gameinformer. lets hope we all get a awnser in e3

they just needed more time and said those things to the investors to calm them down

[zartan88]

At the moment I'm not sure how to take the delay, it depends on the reasons.

If its just to make it a better game with a stronger story and better graphics and not to use the same tile set for every encounter (yes, I'm looking at you Dragon Age 2) then I'm all for it. I have thought that the ME franchise has been made more and more action based though - I personally hope that they don't turn ME3 into a FPS.

If its just to add multiplayer then I'm gutted - there are already loads and loads of MP games out there - to divert resources away from the from the rest of the project to add yet another 'deathmatch' mode seems wrong to me. Due to the time left its more than possible that features that were to be included would be dropped to make time for the multiplayer options.

Looking at the EA statement I'm 85% sure its the latter. I do know that no matter what anybody says it will go ahead regardless - so in the end all you can do is vote with your wallet.

Funny thing is that I really enjoy multiplayer games - having played MW2 and Black Ops to death, however sometimes its nice just to play the odd SP game with a strong story on your own without all the terrible attitude that some players seem to have in MP games.

I guess we'll see.

Just because the game has been pushed back doesn't mean they're going to use that time to make it an awesome game. Adding MP will take time and the lack of a dev response on here really makes me feel that ME3 is going to be even more streamlined than 2. I love the ME series but I want epic and not crap for the third game and it doesn't need MP.

[Gyroscopic_Trout]

What's wrong with getting rid of passive skill?  They were mostly all the same anyways.

From my point of view, the jump from ME1 to ME2 was not a dumbing down of the game.  Quite the opposite.  Like a lot of stat and inventory management heavy games ME1 could be twinked through to pretty much abolish the need for tactics or skill.

So yeah, this is all highly amusing to me.

Honestly at this point I was in total support of the delay thinking it was due to the reaction to DA2 (pretty mixed from what i saw) and Arrival( felt very empty to me). YAY they are taking more time to tweak the game and make it better! Then what a day later stuff pops up that bioware guys are trying fo a larger audience more call of duty like and cutting out meanlingless role-playing elements! Mskes it sound like your doing a 180 on what made the game great and abandoning your core audience.

There is too much specualtion on what all this means. You guys seriously need to show more than a trailer at E3, we need some combat play through, show us some rpg elements. Honestly I have faith that bioware will not let ME3 become a total piece of **** game cause the wanted to appease the money hungry publishers. I'm gonna keep that optimism until proven otherwise. But I won't lie when I saw this I said this is the last game I pre-order from bioware. After the DA2 bugs bull**** the fall of Me3 would be too much.

Thank you, thank you thank you. Take your time and polish the thing to absolute perfection. I can wait. for the game. I'm looking forward to this game in 2012. Bioware = WIN!

[OH-UP-THIS!]

2012? A total, complete game, in less time than it takes for an episode?

Somebody's definitely scraping the mirror to closely.

Unless of course, the 'steal components from one area/paste to another', gets "auto-enabled" throughout the entirety of the Game.

[Ympulse]

Cancelled my preorder.

I was put off enough with DA2 not standing up to multiple playthroughs, I can only imagine Call of Dead Space Effect 3 being more of the same.

[Mixon]

Will Bioware "show" us a new ME3 main soundtrack on EZ this summer?

[Phaelducan]

I think this thread clearly needs more "wah look at me I'm mad about a video game so I'm cancelling my pre-order" responses.

Just play Skyrim and stop littering the Bioware threads. We get it, you don't like Bioware anymore. Move along. No one cares.

For the rest of us, who actually did like ME2, this announcement doesn't really mean anything other than a much more clear release launch window. ME2 launching after Christmas probably helped out it's sales a ton, so this is a no-brainer. Why go up against the other juggernauts from November when you can push it back a couple of months and destroy sales after the New Year?

[spacehamsterZH]

I wish people would at least try to wrap their brains around the fact that the infamous "address a larger market opportunity" statement was made by an EA representative at an investors' conference. These are people who make a living by moving around money in order to make more money. Why are you shocked that soulless maggot vultures sound like soulless maggot vultures when they're talking about the creative process? This doesn't have to mean ME3's going to be horrible, it's just how these soulless maggot vultures talk.

I'll just assume the postponed release date means we'll get a more polished game. How this is a bad thing I don't know.

[Genshie]

The main problem from what I can see is that people are comparing DA to ME and that seriously needs to stop. Besides the conversations and detailed characters there is nothing else that branches the two together. They are two different franchises made for different audiences. (Pure Fantasy vs Sci-Fi)
Cancelling your preorder because of a completely different game not doing as well as you thought is silly and rather dumb. I was convinced about ME3 as soon as I saw the scans/pics they used in Game Informer.

Is that Alenko I'm seeing in one of those new screenies?

...Hell to the yes. Looks like my Femshep won't have to die alone after all.
