I do like the idea and the overall presentation of it.

However currently in its state it has a major tendency to repeat itself (due to a lack of news articles currently) and the issue is as well instead of saying the date as in monday tuesday wednesday etc you should do for instance on the 10th June ........ got unveiled by Casey Hudson.

which will make it better in the long run when you are repeating news articles so that you know what is newer or older.

I feel the question and answer system was very well done especially with the use of videos and the use of banter at points.

i liked the little i saw.
but the word "Awesome" is getting a little tired ... i hear it everywhere , all the time, about everything.

i'd love to see interviews with the writers and even MORE with Clint Mansell !! Maybe have a hint of what kind of mood, sound textures he's after etc. We've identified ME so mch to Jack Wall's approach , it would be interesting to get Mansell's input because we'll have to adapt to that perspective.

Loved pulse so far. I felt the presenter was a bit ott but at least Mr Silverman was having fun.
The QA session was done well with the answers being as evasive, in some cases, you could have written them Mr Priestly.

As said above I would love this to turn into interviews with the devs writers and composers. It doesn't even have to be what they are working on at the moment. Bioware has done some amazing games, and recollections about past projects etc would be great.

My problem with Pulse is that I don't feel like I'm learning anything I didn't already learn from somewhere else. I guess Pulse needs some exclusive announcements, that the press haven't spoken about yet. As is, it seems more of a summery of past events for those who haven't visited other sites.

I agree with this... but over all I like Bioware Pulse TV.

I also liked it, the interview with Ray was great Haven't had time to watch the rest, but I'll probably will.

As others have mentioned, please try to tone down words such as 'awesome' , 'epic' and other cliché words that everyone seems to be mentioning these days. [I remember 5-6 years ago; everyone used the phrase 'immersion' - after the 100th time it becomes tiresome and it is not near as effective as it was...]

I also like the idea of having interviews with developers, composers etc. --- as long as the pr guys is kept at a -ahem- suitable distance...

[Tamahome560]

To be honest... It's an awesome idea and I like what you are doing with it and would watch more but ...

David Silverman need to say button awesome in any context for each and every episode ... to make it more awesome.

How often will you be doing episodes?

That's what we're working out now. This is not only a Mass Effect 3 news outlet. We plan to let you know Dragon Age, SWTOR, and Mythic game news. We plan to use it at conventions. We plan to take videos around the different offices talking with staff, interviews, having fun, etc.

This is why we're looking for feedback. I think this could be really fun as long as we don't make it another commercial for "X" game. It has to be fun, educational and interesting. Not every episode will appeal to each fan, but we want to try to make all them as good as we can.

So hopefuly your suggestions will help us craft BioWare Pulse into somethign you want to watch.

I'd say one Episode per month should be good but then a episode which is like 30 mins to an hour And in the time of convetions i'd like to see what you did at E3 this year. 5 episodes.

Good Luck and i will let my fingers on the pulse !

[Thargorichiban]

Well one suggestion I would have is to use Bioware Pulse to release "The State of ..." videos.

Perhaps every month until the release of Mass Effect you guys could release a State of Mass Effect and let out a tidbit or answer some questions that have been building up for a month. That way you can keep focus on Mass Effect for promotional purposes and throw the community a pre-scheduled bone.

[Mulatdood]

It's fun. I would like to see how you conduct market research and I would like information about your ability to reuse assets.

In fact any information reference to market research in the video game industry would be very welcome: books journal articles, anything like that would be great.

Also any insight into the decision making processes that go on during development would be fun.

[Jerrybnsn]

I'm not listening to any ME3 news and spoil it. La-la-la-la-la-la-la

[SheppardJohn]

This show is amazing + David Silverman who lead battlecast primetime  for command and conquer xd

You know the video's shown during the Gameinformer Mass Effect Hub in April?
Mass Effect: Creating The Voice Of Legion
The Sound Design of Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect 3: Creating Garrus
Mass Effect: The Origin of Species
Casey Hudson Interview: How Mass Effect Began
Casey Hudson Interview: All About Mass Effect 3
Casey Hudson Interview: Mass Effect's Feedback Loop

Yeah those are the types of things I would like to see (for Mass Effect anyway)

It's an interesting idea. My only criticism is a bit too heavy on the marketing catchphrases. And the phrase "Locked into the Pulse" is already haunting my dreams a little bit. And maybe a little longer videos, but I can understand keeping them frequent and at the same length they are now.. which i think is usually between a minute and two.

[danielhumgon]

I love it and love it the logo keep up the good work!

[InfiniteCuts]

It has potential... though what I saw at E3 was a little rough around the edges. More exclusive content, interviews and reveals and I'm sure people will like it a lot more. Silverman is a nice enough guy... just needs to get off-script a little.

[Zeevico]

It has lots of emphasis on marketing talk. I know the point is selling a game but it's like asking me to watch a commercial. Unless the commercial is funny or something I don't know why I would watch it.

I 2nd this.

I really liked Pulse until now. It was spoiler free and informative. As long as you guys can keep it as spoiler-free as possible, keep them coming

[Firefeng]

Oh, yes, Pulse is a keeper. As for what I'd like to see in the short term, hound the DA2 team about details of their upcoming story DLC. They seem to be taking their time with it, which given the general public's reception of DA2, is exactly the course of action they should be taking, but damned if I'm not chomping at the bit for at least a few details in advance, even if they're (understandably) not gonna announce its release date until it's set in stone. I'm sure everyone would like to see a demo of Vanguard gameplay in ME3, too, given the game's newfound focus on expanding its combat range variability.

Long term, most of the replies here cover it. Not only would I like to see sneak peeks at upcoming games (and the leaked press package that was taken down from YouTube is actually a good example of what I'd like to see--short, uninterrupted gameplay with no real story spoilers), but delving a little bit into the history of older BioWare games and what it was like making them would also be fascinating, so long as such episodes aren't the most frequent ones.

Also, considering the extensive interaction you guys have with your fans on the forums, videos of you all just goofing off or having fun around the office would also be awesome, and go a long way towards humanizing you to the adoring throngs of your followers (incoming hyperbole: DOES EA ALLOW YOU TO HAVE FUN OR DO THEY LEVERAGE YOUR ETERNAL SOUL FOR WORKPLACE PERFORMANCE AND PROFIT MARGINS?). Unless you wish to be worshiped as demi-gods, in which case videos detailing the best manner of practicing the ritualistic dogma of Biowarenism are required.

But really. DA2 DLC and, of course, more ME3 and SW:TOR. Now. My feeble brain can't shore up the patience for the games to actually release.

agreed, the behind the scenes videos are very interesting

and an occasional Q&A session would be fun, maybe drop the YT video questions <_<
it could also just be about answering questions that pop up in the forums alot and wouldn't require collecting questions prior to such a session
and maybe if they're not at the end of a convention like the E3 we could get answers that don't sound like the memorized promo sentences
can't blame them though, after days of saying the same things over and over and over again ... and once more

hmmm, and maybe less 'awesome' Mr. Silverman

[Wynne]

I enjoyed it very much; I find the logos and everything visually pleasing. At times it reminded me of G4, only without the annoying aspects that eventually made me stop watching. Nice to have a little peek at events that are happening way too far for me to visit them in person; it made me feel connected.

It's too bad no girls had the courage to make a video, though. If I hadn't had an exam on that very day I probably would've tried; I'll have to put my thinking cap on for next time.

I think it has potential. I'm not terribly enthusiastic about getting bombarded with marketing slogans but seeing interviews with producers/developers/artists is usually pretty good. The interviews that showed up on gameinformers week of mass effect and e3 were all pretty good IMO.

This.

[Wolf]

My thoughts on this are pretty much the same as most people. As long as it's not just to create hype for
ME3 (like it needs more) and you keep it updated with content I'm all for it.

BiowareTV is a fantastic idea.

You could easily do regular episodes if you include :

-The Latest News about Mass Effect, SWTOR and Dragon Age
-Q&A with the fans
-Exclusivities
-Studio Tours
-Developer Interviews
-Making of
-Trailers
-Gameplay Previews
-Collector's Edition Unboxing
-Community Creations (fan art, videos, comics, etc)

Yes, This. Also, interviews with the VAs in the future would be awesome.

One thing I've always loved seeing is (voice)actors doing fun stuff between takes or when they mess up somehow and it becomes a blooper. Just give someone a camera and don't tell the actors that they are being filmed and it would be comedy gold I tell ya.

Heck, I'd love to see Jennifer Hale's expressions while she's recording renegade lines . I mean, who wouldn't want to see her yelling "I kill your dicks!" while trying not to go all giggly?

In short: actors doing their thing without spoiling anything. Other behind the scenes stuff would be cool too.
